About a month ago my internet stalker reappeared. They had disapeared for quiet a while, and I had quit thinking about them to be honest. Then last month they hacked into my yahoo email account and started forwarding personal emails to other people. I've really just not felt safe, or been in much of a mood to write or be online. The whole things just left me feeling really sick and violated. I know this person isn't someone who lives near me, or they would have shown up by now. This however doesn't make me feel any better. So I've been a bit depressed and freaked out and not really had much to say. I'm trying to get my groove back now, but it's not been easy.  I'm having to find my voice all over again, and overcome fear of further setting this person off. I've honestly no clue who it is.

MY PERSONAL NOTE:
FIRST, REGARDING COVERAGE FOR UNDOCUMENTED/ILLEGAL RESIDENTS IN THE NEW HEALTHCARE REFORM BILLS:
THERE WON'T BE ANY! WHY? BECAUSE THERE IS ALREADY A FEDERAL LAW THAT KEEPS FEDERAL DOLLARS BEING SPENT TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON THEM!! OMG! FOR REAL PEOPLE!!
THIS INCLUDES: WELFARE, FOOD STAMPS, UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, MEDICARE OR MEDICAID!
HOW DO I KNOW THIS?
I WORK FOR FUCKING MEDICARE/MEDICAID!
and it is also noted in all of the bills currently being put together that they not be covered. They only want to scare the rednecks and racists into thinking their tax dollars will be covering them, when it does NOT and will NOT ever cover them!
SECOND, STOP PANDERING TO RACISTS WHO ARE ONLY PROTESTING ANYTHING THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO DO TO HELP THIS COUNTY SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK! There, I said it! The dirty little secret no one is wanting to confront. Now! I am going to call Mr. Wilson's office and tell him what a disrespectful fucking liar I think he is!!! PLease, join me in doing so!!

A Republican member of Congress interrupted President Obama’s speech tonight on the floor of the House of Representatives.. to yell “You lie!” at the president, in reference to the president’s assertion that his proposals wouldn’t provide health insurance to illegal immigrants.

The Associated Press identified the member of Congress as Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C. The extraordinary outburst caused the president to pause briefly, and First Lady Michelle Obama to shake her head, as the emotions that have been on display all summer at town hall meetings spilled over into the Joint Session of Congress.

Asked about the interruption by ABC News, a Republican National Committee official did not confirm the identity of the heckler, but said: “The reality is the President was not telling the truth about illegal immigrants getting access to care under the bill.”

I can't even believe this shit! It only goes to show once again why we need healthcare reform. People are hurting and they need help! Right now the Govenor of Arizona is fighting w/ the legislature to put a temporary sales tax up for public vote. This is why we need it! These are the very people that need our help the most. They are working and still don't have access to coverage. They can't afford it!! If I were to buy an individual policy, if I were even able to qualify, would be about $700.00 a month!!!  I am one of the people that President Obama wants to help. This isn't about politics for him!! This is about keeping a promise to the American people. Healthcare should not be for the priviledged few. Healthcare reform is not a political issue! It is a human rights issue! 
Read story below to see why I am so pissed off!

by Casey Newton - Sept. 8, 2009 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic
Nearly 10,000 working parents will lose their health insurance this month in the wake of state budget cuts, leaving some families with nowhere to turn as they seek affordable coverage.
KidsCare Parents, a program that provides low-income families with inexpensive insurance, will end Sept. 30. The Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, which administers the program, could not pay the $6 million annual cost following cuts by the Legislature. The state faces a $3 billion budget shortfall.
The move comes as demand for government assistance is skyrocketing. Arizona has lost an estimated 240,000 jobs since December 2007, and AHCCCS has added 150,000 people to its rolls since January.
"It's always difficult to make a decision like this," said Monica Coury, an AHCCCS spokeswoman. "But, on the other hand, there's a broad recognition that the state is in a fiscal crisis, and difficult decisions are being made across the board."
Families received letters last week, informing them that parents will have no insurance as of Oct. 1. Children covered by KidsCare will keep their health insurance.
The news came as a shock to program member Don Dowling, a Gilbert resident who had surgery scheduled on Oct. 15 to remove his kidney stones.
Dowling has been scrambling to get his surgery rescheduled for this month. Otherwise, he said, he will not be able to pay the estimated $10,000 cost.
"All the things they could cut out, and they're going to cut out insurance on people who actually need it, who have pre-existing conditions that are very serious," said Dowling, 33. "Are you kidding me?"
KidsCare Parents began in 2003 as an extension of the federal State Children's Health Insurance Program, called KidsCare in Arizona. To be eligible for coverage, families had to make less than two times the federal poverty level, or about $44,000 a year for a family of four.
For a $6 million annual contribution, Arizona received $18 million in federal grants to administer the program for parents. Patient premiums, which were set at 3 to 4 percent of monthly income, covered the rest. The parents' program was a boon to families like the Dowlings, who were told they made $40 a month too much to be eligible for AHCCCS.
Dowling moved here from Colorado with his family three years ago to take a job in the real-estate industry and later took a sales job at American Express . The company laid him off in December as part of cost-cutting measures, and Dowling has been looking for work ever since.
The family's sole source of income is Dowling's wife, Danielle Smith, who works about 32 hours a week at a day-care center. Dowling and Smith are raising two girls, ages 8 and 3.
"When I read that letter that they were going to cancel it, I just didn't know what to do," Smith said. "We're already worried about what money we have for groceries this week."
Families affected by the program's end will have trouble finding similar care they can afford, advocates said.
"The impact is devastation," said Dana Naimark, president of the Children's Action Alliance, a Phoenix non-profit that advocates for social services. "Parents are making desperate phone calls to anywhere they can think of, and the problem is there are almost no alternatives for them."
AHCCCS recommends that families without health insurance seek care at community health centers, which provide basic care on a sliding-fee scale. But those centers have also lost state funding, advocates said, and some are being stretched to the breaking point.
The centers also can't provide the more specialized care needed by many people enrolled in KidsCare Parents.
Susan Stewart has a nodule on her lung that requires regular monitoring to ensure it does not become cancerous. The Gilbert resident can't afford the limited insurance offered by her job at a company that provides legal-support services, and her pre-existing condition has prevented her from getting private coverage.
KidsCare Parents gave Stewart affordable coverage that allowed her peace of mind as she raises her 12-year-old son, Taylor, who has a serious heart condition. Now, she is considering taking a pay cut so that she can qualify for AHCCCS.
"I don't want to sit at home and collect from the state," Stewart said. "But, sometimes, you're forced to do things for your kids that you wouldn't normally do."
Gov. Jan Brewer is "just devastated" by the end of the parents' program, spokesman Paul Senseman said. "We're talking about real cuts to working families who are not looking for a handout but a hand up," he said.
Brewer fought to protect KidsCare from cuts, Senseman said, but was unable to protect funding for the parents' program, considering the size of the budget shortfall and legislative opposition to raising taxes.
Now, Brewer is concerned that KidsCare, which serves more than 50,000 children, could be cut in upcoming fiscal 2010-11 budget negotiations. Brewer has advocated referring a temporary sales tax to the ballot to preserve funding for education, public safety and social services.
"It's just heartbreaking to see that, without additional revenues, these kind of cuts are going to happen," Senseman said.

 As with all of us, he was not a perfect man. He did however, dedicate most of his life to serving the American people. Without him there would've been no civil rights bill. He wasn't in politics for the money. It was about helping people! He wasn't lining his pockets w/ money from the drug companies or or the insurance industry like John Kerry,Max Baucus,Thad Cochran, and Orrin Hatch!  A vocal minority in the 60's wanted to keep things seperate but unequal in this country. If we had believed the news then, you would've thought all of America was opposed to civil rights and were raging bigots! Not everyone in the senate or the house wanted to approve the bill, but most did because the listened to the quiet, steadfast majority that wouldn't give up! The same thing is happening now. A vocal, rabid minority is once again claiming it speaks for the majority of us. The group that screams the loudest is not the majority by any means. If this were the case woman wouldn't be allowed to vote, slaves wouldn't have been freed, and a black man wouldn't be the President of the United States! Ted Kennedy fought for the people no one else would speak for! He gave voices to minorities, woman, and the disabled. If he were alive today he would be the voice of the uninsured, underinsured and those who have been denied coverage! Let's honor him and his family by giving hard working Americans a chance to have the God given right to decent healthcare! This is NOT a political issue, it is a human rights issue!
Gloomy~

READ ON:


 At the 2008 Democratic Convention, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Sen. Ted Kennedy said:

This is the cause of my life - new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American - north, south, east, west, young, old - will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.

Kennedy chaired the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). On July 15, Kennedy's committee passed the Affordable Health Choices Act, which "will reduce health costs, protect individuals' choice in doctors and plans, and assure quality and affordable heath care for Americans."

It also includes a "strong public option that responds to the wishes of the American people to have a clear alternative to for-profit insurance companies."

Tell your Representatives.. to honor Sen. Kennedy by passing real health reform:
http:../../..www...democrats...com/..honor-..ted-kennedy

Senator Kennedy was too ill to vote for this bill, but he praised its passage:

Americans are an extraordinary people. We have created a nation of liberty and justice. We have defeated forces of oppression, and we have spread prosperity and progress across the globe. When the American people are on the march, there is no barrier that can resist them, no obstacle that can block their path.
The American people are on the march once more , and they will not stop until quality, affordable health care is the birthright of every American. And we are with them every step of the way.

We, the American people, are "on the march." As my Representative,.. I urge you to act quickly to honor Senator Ted Kennedy by passing real health reform - including a strong public option that offers "a clear alternative to for-profit insurance companies."

I am going to blog about it in the next few days. I can't do it now. I had to have my doctor change the pain medication that I was on because I couldn't afford the $100.00 copay my insurance is forcing me to pay. The medication worked wonderfully and I've been able to function like a normal human being again. I am unable to keep spending one third of what I make monthly on healthcare, so I begged him to switched me. The new ones aren't working so well, not at all actually. People seem to be under the impression that you and your doctor make your medical decisions, when in actuality it is your health insurance company and your wallet making the decisions!

Oregon legislator blasts Palin, Gingrich over 'death panel' claim in health care bill

08-13-2009 09:06 AM MST |By MATTHEW DALY, Associated Press Writer

For more than a decade in Congress, Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer has been known for his ever-present bow-tie and tireless advocacy of bikes.
So it is something of a surprise to the Portland Democrat that he has earned a new measure of fame in recent days _ as author of a health-care provision that some critics say would set up a "death panel."
In a widely quoted Facebook posting, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin charged that federal bureaucrats would play God, ruling on whether ailing seniors or children with Down syndrome _ such as Palin's son Trig _ are worthy of health care. Palin called the proposal "downright evil."

Many news organizations _ including The Associated Press _ debunked Palin's claim. The provision that caused the uproar would authorize Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling about end-of-life care.
But Blumenauer says he is astounded that Palin and other critics have not tempered their bleak descriptions of the health care bill.
"It's deliberate at this point," Blumenauer said of Palin's failure to correct her Aug. 7 Facebook posting. "If she wasn't deliberately lying at the beginning, she is deliberately allowing a terrible falsehood to be spread with her name."
Blumenauer singled out another prominent Republican, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, saying he has "linked arms with Sarah Palin and death panels." While Gingrich has not used the term death panel, he has declined several opportunities to denounce Palin's claim.
"You are asking us to trust turning power over to the government, when there are clearly people in America who believe in establishing euthanasia, including selective standards," Gingrich said Sunday on the ABC's "This Week."
Blumenauer called the comments despicable and part of an orchestrated effort by Republicans to discredit the health care overhaul and scare seniors.
In nearly four decades of public life, "this is the starkest example I've ever seen of how, if we're not careful, political discourse dissolves into some type of partisan cage-fighting, where there are no rules and anything goes," said Blumenauer, 60.
Palin did not respond to requests for comment. But in a Facebook posting late Wednesday night, Palin defended her original claim, which President Barack Obama and other Democrats have criticized.
"With all due respect, it's misleading for the president to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients," she said, noting that the provision authorizes consultations whenever a Medicare recipient's health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home.
Since the bill's intent is to reduce overall health care costs, it's logical to assume that care for seniors may be curtailed, Palin said.
"It's all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform," she wrote.
Rick Tyler, a spokesman for Gingrich, said Blumenauer was following a Democratic tactic of linking all Republicans to Palin.
"Obviously Newt didn't embrace her euphemism of death panels. But he said to the larger point, there is a concern that people have about allowing government to be involved in these decisions," Tyler said. "She's raising a point we should discuss."
Blumenauer said the measure he supports would merely allow Medicare to pay doctors for voluntary counseling sessions that address end-of-life issues. Topics include living wills, designating a close relative or a trusted friend as a health care proxy and information about pain medications for chronic discomfort.
The measure would block funds for counseling that presents suicide or assisted suicide as an option, Blumenauer said, calling references to death panels or euthanasia "mind-numbing."
"It's a blatant lie, and everybody who has checked it agrees," he said.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said this week that Palin and other critics were not helping the GOP by throwing out false claims.
"Quite honestly, I'm so offended at that terminology, because it absolutely isn't" in the bill, Murkowski said. "There is no reason to gin up fear in the American public by saying things that are not included in the bill."
Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Republican who co-sponsored a similar measure in the Senate, said it was "nuts" to claim the bill encourages euthanasia.
"You're putting the authority in the individual rather than the government," Isakson said. "I don't know how that got so mixed up."
Blumenauer said the controversy was helping Democrats in a "perverse way."
By continuing to spread a widely refuted claim, Republican critics are undercutting their own credibility, he said. The controversy has drawn more attention to the original proposal, which passed largely unnoticed when a health overhaul was approved by three House committees.
"This has taken on an outsized significance and so more people are paying attention to it than ever before," Blumenauer said. "I think you will see more people use this to say, 'What will happen to me if I am in an accident? Here's what I want.' More people are going to take matters into their own hands."

The head of the health insurance company that I work for is in the top 5 of this list. The same company that supplies me substandard coverage. The reason I am praying for a public option. I am praying for a public option to go into effect ASAP. I am one of the reasons why President Obama wanted healthcare overhauled as soon as possible. I need to go for a CT scan. My doctor can't figure out why I've had a headache the last 3 months. I've been on steroids and antibiotics and it won't go away. I take  VERY powerful pain medication for my fibromyalgia, and it only dulls the pain. So I called my health insurance carrier to find out what my copay for an in network lab would be to get the scan and was told $300.00. $300.00! So, I am hoping to get the scan under a new public option. I refuse to put it on my credit card! The plan I work for as one of it's lines of business handles both Medicaid and Medicare. Both plans have better coverage than I do. I have had to go to my doctors and tell them they have to take me off the medications I was on. Medications that were working for me, and to put me on something else. Why? Because my health insurance did want to pay for it. And you all think that your medical decisions are between you and your doctor when you are on private health insurance?? Wake up!! Your insurance carrier and your wallet do at this point! Your and my insurance company have review panels, as do Medicare and Medicaid. These are not death panels. If they were they'd already be unplugging people all over the country! LMAO. The review panels look at standard of care. They look at what medical procedures have been proven to help people and those that do not. They won't cover a procedure that has not been proven. Would you want them to?? They also look at new medical procedures and research constantly, as to stay on the cutting edge of care. To add new procedure once they have been proven. These panels are the same for private health insurance as they are for Medicaid and Medicare (which everyone keeps forgetting are both successful government run healthcare plans!) and they will be the same for any new government healthcare plans. The plans are constantly reviewing and constantly adding covered services.  Medicaid which covers a lot of children's with disabilities, never turns a child away because they are disabled either mentally or physically, and either will a new government plan. All 3 of my nephews are on Medicaid. The oldest has autism, and the government plan gives him the therapy that he needs. Most private health insurance companies do NOT cover these, but the government plan does! He is growing and thriving! I support a government plan, because I am on both sides of the coin. I work for Medicaid, and Medicare so I can see how well the plans cover the member's and I have a disabled nephew who has benefited from the plan greatly. I imagine people were just as of afraid of Medicare and Medicaid before the plans were given a chance to prove themselves. They are successful and that's why they're not going anywhere. These are some of the reasons why I support healthcare reform. I can understand why some have become angry and frusterated. They are getting the correct information from their news sources, or their  Republican representatives. That's where the internet comes in. If you do research and get the facts it's pretty easy to understand! Please get a reality check at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck/

Founder of ColorOfChange.....org
Posted: August 11, 2009 02:36 PM

Great news -- yet another major company has acted in response to our campaign calling on Glenn Beck's advertisers to stop supporting his show. GEICO told us that they will no longer run ads during Beck's show.

This comes on the heels of news last week that four other advertisers -- Lawyers.com, Progressive Insurance, Procter & Gamble, and SC Johnson -- also distanced themselves from Beck. None of this would have been possible without the thousands of people -- more than 75,000, now -- who have taken action and signed our petition to Glenn Beck's advertisers.

From the press release we're sending out this morning:

"On Tuesday, August 4, GEICO instructed its ad buying service to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots on FOX-TV to their other network programs, exclusive of the Glenn Beck program," said a spokesperson for GEICO Corporate Communications in an email to ColorOfChange.......org. "As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck's program."

"We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.......org. "Beck's rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won't stop here -- we're going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck's advertisers pull their support as possible."

We're making incredible progress. As Glenn Beck's advertisers learn of his hateful rhetoric, and how deeply it concerns thousands of organized people across the country, they're deciding that they don't want their companies associated with Beck's divisive fear-mongering.

If you haven't already signed our petition to Beck's advertisers, please do, and please ask your friends and family to do the same (there's a sample email you can send them here). We're going to keep reaching out to Beck's remaining advertisers, and we'll keep you posted on ways you can help keep the pressure on.

Thanks so much for your support -- we couldn't do this without you.

Top Five Health Care Reform Lies—and How to Fight Back

Lie #1: President Obama wants to euthanize your grandma!!!
The truth: These accusations—of "death panels" and forced euthanasia—are, of course, flatly untrue. As an article from the Associated Press puts it: "No 'death panel' in health care bill."4 What's the real deal? Reform legislation includes a provision, supported by the AARP, to offer senior citizens access to a professional medical counselor who will provide them with information on preparing a living will and other issues facing older Americans.5
Lie #2: Democrats are going to outlaw private insurance and force you into a government plan!!!
The truth: With reform, choices will increase, not decrease. Obama's reform plans will create a health insurance exchange, a one-stop shopping marketplace for affordable, high-quality insurance options.6 Included in the exchange is the public health insurance option—a nationwide plan with a broad network of providers—that will operate alongside private insurance companies, injecting competition into the market to drive quality up and costs down.7
If you're happy with your coverage and doctors, you can keep them.8 But the new public plan will expand choices to millions of businesses or individuals who choose to opt into it, including many who simply can't afford health care now.
Lie #3: President Obama wants to implement Soviet-style rationing!!!
The truth: Health care reform will expand access to high-quality health insurance, and give individuals, families, and businesses more choices for coverage. Right now, big corporations decide whether to give you coverage, what doctors you get to see, and whether a particular procedure or medicine is covered—that is rationed care. And a big part of reform is to stop that.
Health care reform will do away with some of the most nefarious aspects of this rationing: discrimination for pre-existing conditions, insurers that cancel coverage when you get sick, gender discrimination, and lifetime and yearly limits on coverage.9 And outside of that, as noted above, reform will increase insurance options, not force anyone into a rationed situation. 
Lie #4: Obama is secretly plotting to cut senior citizens' Medicare benefits!!!
The truth: Health care reform plans will not reduce Medicare benefits.10 Reform includes savings from Medicare that are unrelated to patient care—in fact, the savings comes from cutting billions of dollars in overpayments to insurance companies and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.11
Lie #5: Obama's health care plan will bankrupt America!!!
The truth: We need health care reform now in order to prevent bankruptcy—to control spiraling costs that affect individuals, families, small businesses, and the American economy.
Right now, we spend more than $2 trillion dollars a year on health care.12 The average family premium is projected to rise to over $22,000 in the next decade13—and each year, nearly a million people face bankruptcy because of medical expenses.14 Reform, with an affordable, high-quality public option that can spur competition, is necessary to bring down skyrocketing costs. Also, President Obama's reform plans would be fully paid for over 10 years and not add a penny to the deficit.15
We're closer to real health care reform than we've ever been—and the next few weeks will decide whether it happens. We need to make sure the truth about health care reform is spread far and wide to combat right wing lies.

 Body: The same people who were spouting racist hate during the elections and calling for then candidate Obama to be lynched are at it again! We all need to stand up against these attacks. They are calling in death threats to congressmen and senators! The reason the Republican hate machine is getting their base so riled up about healthcare reform is because they don't actually have a plan of their own! They keep saying that they have a plan, but have they released any details? No, and what they have released is frightening. It contains no consumer protections at all! As The Atlanta Journal - Constitution posted in an article last week comparing the 3 healthcare options being discussed the option the Republicans are "offering" is a joke! It contains NO cost estimate and NO numbers on how many people would be covered! I will be posting all three plans that were detailed in the article soon. Please join us in the boycott!

FOX News has always been the propaganda arm of the Republican Part y, willing to twist facts and even lie to promote the Republican agenda.

But the election of President Obama in 2008 pushed FOX News into outright hate-mongering and incitement of violence, which is intolerable in a democracy.

Tell FOX News advertisers to cancel their ads:
http:../../..www...democrats...com/..boycott-..fox-..news-..advertisers

Here are some examples of intolerable hate speech and incitement to violence:

6/30/09 Glenn Beck agreed with guest who urged bin Laden to attack U.S. with nuclear weapons.

7/25/09 Neil Cavuto and guest said health care reform will impose universal euthanasia like "Soylent Green."

7/28/09 Glenn Beck said "The President has exposed himself as a guy .. who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... or the white culture... This man is a racist."

8/6/09 Glenn Beck "joked" about giving Speaker Pelosi a glass of wine with poison.

We join with FoxNewsBoycott and other groups in this boycott, which is already producing outstanding results. In the first week, 11 advertisers cancelled their FOX ads: Campbell Soup, Chrysler, General Motors, Kellogg, Kraft Foods, Lawyers.com, Nestle, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, and Walmart.
