After all, I have many interests, many concerns and a few 'pet peeves'(otherwise known as issues that I am still dealing with) and a thing or two that just simply 'IGNITES' this Czech/German/Polish Temper.
This is where I testify that I am alive and part of the whole world and to save other people from repeating my mistakes and/or bad experiences.

In a real life example of how Obamacare is changing everything, our local newspaper ran an article about the closing of the 9th Street Ministry Medical Clinic.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It was announced last week that 9th Street Ministries will be concluding their medical clinic mission, which had been ongoing monthly to offer free medical services to those in need since first starting in 1998. The final day for the medical clinic will be Thursday, April 24, and that will conclude the mission that has been in place for almost 16 years."</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The article tells how the ministry has been operating once a month for years to give people healthcare on a first come, first served basis. This care was provided by volunteers. My mother actually volunteered at the clinic and they would see as many as 300 a day. Many of these people would wait all day for the <strong>chance</strong> to see a doctor. Most of the patients were people who could not afford to see a doctor, but were not eligible for medicaid or medicare. Why would they close this clinic down?</blockquote>
<div class="article-body">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"We’ve gone from seeing around 300 people a month on a regular basis, but as people were enrolling in Obamacare, the numbers we were seeing have dropped. We were down to 80 people that came through the medical clinic in February, all the way down to three people at the medical clinic in March. Our services won’t be needed anymore, and this will conclude our mission.”</blockquote>

We live in one of the most conservative places in Arkansas. The Repub's want to tell those people that once a month waiting all day for a chance to see a doctor was good enough. Thankfully, President Obama did not think so.</blockquote>

People who signed up early for insurance through the new marketplaces were more likely to be prescribed drugs to treat pain, depression and H.I.V. and were less likely to need contraceptives, according to a new study that provides a much-anticipated look at the population that signed up for coverage under the new health care law. […] </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
The study, to be released Wednesday by the major pharmacy-benefits manager Express Scripts, suggests that early enrollees face more serious health problems and are older than those covered by their employers. The study also showed a higher use of specialty drugs, which are often used to treat diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis; the use of such drugs could hint at more costly medical problems.[…]</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In addition to finding increased use of drugs to treat pain, seizures and depression, the study also found that 6 in every 1,000 prescriptions in the marketplace plans were for drugs that treat H.I.V., a number that was nearly four times the figure among those with employer coverage.</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
That's because, of course, people with HIV, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis could have been barred from getting health insurance before the law. It's not terribly surprising that the first enrollees out of the gates—and the first to be registering prescriptions—would be the people with serious, chronic conditions that kept them out of the market previously. As the <a href="http://lab.express-scripts.com/insights/government-programs/first-look-health-exchange-medication-utilization">study's authors write</a>, "This early analysis suggests this new benefit is providing patients with access to the medication they need." </blockquote>

That's just one more thing Republicans want to shut down with repeal: people getting the treatments they need to survive.</blockquote>

Hey -</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9338">
I just got this email from Demand Progress about Comcast's jerk of a lobbyist. We need to make sure everyone sees this to help fight back against this disastrous merger with Time Warner.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9337">
You'd think Comcast super-lobbyist David Cohen might show some class. Maybe he'd even be humble knowing that 52 percent of Americans think Comcast's merger with Time Warner is a bad idea.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9336">
Instead, Cohen says he hasn’t heard any “rational, knowledgeable voices” opposed to the merger.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9335">
So much for humble.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9362">
Let's tell David Cohen that millions of very knowledgeable, very rational people oppose this merger: http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/Cohen/?referring_akid=a10386458.1375214.pdRfT1&source=auto-taf</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9363">
It’s rational to oppose giving Comcast an untold amount of market power. And it's rational to be weary of the implications for privacy, freedom of speech, and what's left of our open Internet.</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9364">
And we remember when Comcast got busted for violating Net Neutrality--which makes us pretty knowledgeable. We also know about their data caps and their plans for complete media domination. And we also know Comcast was just voted the worst company in America!</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9365">
Let's wipe that smirk off Cohen's face.</div>

Click here to add your name to our letter to Comcast's top lobbyist, David Cohen: http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/Cohen/?referring_akid=a10386458.1375214.pdRfT1&source=auto-taf</div>
<div id="yui_3_13_0_1_1397218415527_9368">
We'll pass on your very knowledgeable and rational message that this merger is awful.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Since taking office, Governor Kasich has cut more than over $500 million from Ohio’s public schools and increased funding for failing charter schools. In recent days, almost every major newspaper in Ohio has run a story or an editorial about this flawed system. We’ve pointed to the governor’s cuts to public education for some time. Check out what others are saying about the failing charter schools into which our tax dollars are flowing:</blockquote>

“Charter schools have changed the landscape of public education in Ohio. For the most part, the changes have worked to the detriment of traditional public school districts.

IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THE GROSS IN-JUSTICE HAPPENED TO DR. WU. After all, it was 1957. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House. Republican Joseph McCarthy was free to terrorize every who may or may not have ever been a member of the Communist Party. It was a White Male Heterosexual Christian America, where everyone else was a Second Class Citizen who was suppose to be happy with the scraps from their table.<br />

That is why I started a petition, which I do hope others will sign. It was a Gross In-Justice that Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu's male colleagues received the Nobel Prize in Physics, but not the Good Doctor, Herself. This In-justice Needs and Must Be Corrected By Awarding Her-- Her Long Over Due Nobel Prize, Now--Post-Harmoniously. After all, If a Medal Of Honor can be awarded after a person dies, so should the Nobel Prizes.<br />

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Oklahoma company won't be fined for pipeline without permit</span></h1>
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — <strong>A company that operated a natural gas pipeline for more than two years without a permit will not be fined by the state Public Service Commission</strong>. The pipeline by Hiland Operating LLC of Enid, Okla., was completed in 2010. The company told the commission in May 2012 that it did not have a permit. The Bismarck Tribune reports that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a company can be fined up to <strong>$10,000 per day</strong></span> for "<em><strong>willfully building an energy conversion facility or transmission line without a permit</strong></em>," with the total fine <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>not to exceed $200,000</strong></span>. <em>Commissioners say they don't think the violation was intentional and fining <strong>Hiland might deter other companies from considering investment in North Dakota</strong></em>.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Commission's statutory responsibilities <em>concerning pipelines in North Dakota</em> include:</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li>Establishment and enforcement of rates or charges and regulations by common pipeline carriers for receiving, gathering, transporting, loading, delivering, and incident storing of crude petroleum, coal or gas purchased or sold in North Dakota; and</li>
<li> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Enforcement of safety requirements for intrastate distribution and transmission of natural gas</span>.</li>
</ul>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Duties of the North Dakota Public Service</strong> <strong>Commissioners:</strong> <em>The Commission is comprised of three Commissioners who are elected on a statewide basis to staggered six-year terms</em></span>. <em>The Commission was established before North Dakota became a state. Dakota Territory established a Board of Railroad Commissioners in 1885 to oversee railroads, sleeping car companies, express companies, and telephone companies. The State's constitution retained this board and entrusted it with powers and duties to be prescribed by law. In 1940 the Board's name was changed to Public Service Commission. As the preceding list indicates, the Legislature has broadened the Commission's duties since its early days. This trend has been reversed in some areas, however, as technology and a changing regulatory environment at both the federal and state levels have resulted in a greater dependence on competitive market forces to regulate services and rates of what were traditionally monopoly service providers. It is anticipated that some degree of regulatory oversight will remain in most of the Commission's traditional areas of responsibility. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The public's needs and legislative policymakers will ultimately decide how much regulation is required in various industries</span>.</em><br />
Demand corporate accountability from Hiland Operating LLC! Demand that Brian Kalk, Randy Christmann, & Julie Fedorchak do the jobs they were elected to do. It doesn't matter if the violation was intentional or not! Ignorance of the law is no excuse for any of us, why should it be different for a corporation?<br />
Hiland Operating LLC should be obliged to pay the $200,000.00 fine which is a slap on the wrist when compared to the amount of time they were operating, <em><strong>well over 730</strong> <strong>days!!!</strong></em><br />

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — <strong>A company that operated a natural gas pipeline for more than two years without a permit will not be fined by the state Public Service Commission</strong>.

I hope that you too also believe in Freedom of Speech as much as I do. After all, the lies that the Republicans repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat about our President Barack Obama and Various Democratic Senators and Democratic Reps and Democratic Governors--It is sad that they would sue to take down a billboard for daring to tell the Truth about a Republican Governor--with all the lies they spread everywhere from Facebook to other books to their own news network--otherwise known as Fox News. </h2>

Let us Hope and Pray that People have better things to do than to be CONNED Into seeing the movie--"Son of God". Why do I say that--that is simple, because it is the Truth. <br />
<br /><br />
Let us examine the facts---First,The movie has the same exact people from the mini-series--"The Bible", the same writers, directors, editors, producers, cast--with two exceptions. <br />
<br /><br />
Secondly, even though the movie boasts of spectacular special effects, its post-production was done in record time--Why the record time; even odds all they had to do was to slice the character of Satan out and replace him with the new female character, which thanks to computers--even an amateur can do-add a new scene or two and many a Christian Fool believes they are seeing a new movie--so sad--so sad. <br />
<br /><br />
THIS BEGS THE QUESTION WHY PAY $10 TO SEE A MOVIE WHEN YOU ALREADY SEEN AND POSSIBLY OWN THE MINI-SERIES? SINCE THE MOVIE CAME IN SECOND AT THE BOX OFFICE on OPENING WEEKEND--MANY MANY SUCKERS WERE CONNED INTO PAY TO SEE A MOVIE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY SEEN FOR FREE AT HOME and probably own. AS IF--AS IF THAT WAS THE WILL OF GOD--TO TAKE PEOPLE FOR THEIR MONEY.<br />
<br /><br />
WHY--OH WHY??? WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY MOVIES OUT THERE THAT ARE ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS--WHY OH WHY PAY TO SEE A REPEAT??????? <br />
<br /><br />
AS ROMA DOWNING AND HUSBAND MARK BURNETT ARE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK WITH THESE SUCKERS MONEY--WITH AN AMEN AND GLORY HALILUJIH AS IF THAT WAS THE WILL OF GOD--TO PLAY PEOPLE FOR FOOLS--AS IF IT WAS NOT WRITTEN--FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED, SO FREELY GIVE.<br />
<br /><br />
Ooooops, I forgot, to point out the facts that some of the most non-Christian acts are done by Christians is persecuting them for their Righteousness. After all, the Party line is still the World Hates Us (Christians) as if the world is the in-group and Christians are the Out-Group--As If There are as many Radio Stations dedicated to other religions as there are to the Christian Religion--NOT!!!!! As If There are as many holy men of other faiths preaching on television as Christian Evangelists--NOT!!!!! As if a person of any other faith than Christian has a prayer of being elected into the White House-NOT Yet. But Fear Not--Keep Up This Bullying--and Persecution Will Come as Churches continue to loss more and more members, since not everyone wants to become a 'Bully', nor to embrace INTolerence and Hate.</div>

<strong>I am passing on this email in support of this excellent cause, because here in the United States of America, We do have Freedom of Religion--We Are a Secular Nation, We Were Always A Secular Nation and We Shall Continue to Be a Secular Nation.

<strong>I am passing this email along because further support of the Middle Class is needed. After all, through war, death, divorce, lifestyle and choice; there are many families in the United States which are headed by women. </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>I know, because when my late husband drank himself to an early grave, our sons were just shy of their 9th and 7th Birthdays, respectively. I got some Social Security, just enough so that I did not qualify for Medicare. Considering the fact that I was also left with a mortgage and car payments and many bills--since he was unemployed the last month or so of his life and without collecting unemployment; Social Security benefits were eaten up faster than they came in. This meant my paycheck was deeply needed, being a woman the only way to make more money was to work more hours which meant that my sons needed to learn how to take care of themselves at a very early age. </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>THIS IS WHY EQUAL PAY IN NEEDED SO THAT OTHER MOTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH--THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS MEANT BY A MORE PERFECT UNION--THAT EACH GENERATION HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO RIGHTING WRONGS BEFORE THE NEXT GENERATION SUFFERS FROM THAT WRONG.</strong><br />
<strong>THAT IS WHY SUPPORT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED FOR>>>>></strong><br />
