Extension of U/I benefits

It's the 21st.of November and still no word or information on extended unemployment benefits.Other states already processing people.Our Michigan elected leaders are AWOL again.To hell with health care right now,it can be fixed later. WE NEED JOBS,JOBS,JOBS,and we need them yesterday.What is it these elected officials don't understand.They work three days a week,fly all over the place first class or private jet,new cars every year,unlimited expense accounts,and they get mad if you ask them a question.(if you can find them)They work for us.It's time to take them to the wood shed. Hope and change are fine,if your working. God bless Michigan,God bless our troops.

Family Independence(Discrimination Against Americans)

It is wrong how Family Independence threatens Americans about their Medicare.I have Medicare, I work, and take care of my wife and family. I, Harry Bell, have Conjested Heart Failure, joing pain, obesity,and high blood pressure. So, after I had to fight for my Social Security, now my kids can get Medicare, but my wife can not get help bacause of what is called a spend down. The spend down is of $425.00, it was $725.00. Other people can come to the United States and make a fresh start. They can get help, but Americans can't get anything. Every race outside the Black community can get help, Every foreigner, but us that wrok for this country can't. The state, government, and city leaders don't and won't give us anyhting. I just want Americans to have the same rights as the rest of the world that comes here.

Extending Jobless Benefits

Jobless benefits ran out for many workers four weeks ago.Again,our elected reps.are asleep at the switch.Common sense has no place in Government.They just don't get it.They can move fast on their pay increase but see no reason to rush on extending jobless benefits.THINK,when would it be good to extend jobless benefits? ANS.WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO RUN OUT.Is that so hard to understand? The way they(Government)are spending our money makes you wonder,have they ever worked for a living? Take them to the wood shed.As Trump would say,YOUR FIRED.

Gary Peters

If you look up Gary Peters and his campaign contributions you will find that the majority of his money comes from left wing pacs like "Code Blue". Gary Peters has voted for every liberal piece of legislation since he arrived in Congress. He pledged to his constituents (I am one)that he was a fiscal conservative. I was one of over 1000 people from his district who protested at his office over health care. We are all going to work toward replacing Gary Peters. Getting money from "Code Blue" does not get you one vote. Neither does angering your constituents. He will be replaced.

Levin, and all the crew listen up!!

My goodness, well educated Speeches given here on the blog road to DETROIT Pressdom!! I'm here to see this, the highly educated meeting me, the uneducated. And this morning is a fine meeting, thank you. But, please excuse me if I butt in some, and let you know about the voter in America and how we see things. MOST OF THIS IS COMPLETE UTTER BULLSHI,T!! The Congress of this Untied States and the sitting President has the Wool pulled over everyones eyes. They actually think we care about what they are doing right now! And at this moment they think" We the People", a line they have been using day in and day out lately, ARE REALLY LISTENING TO THEM ON THEIR CHASE OF THE HOLY GRAIL, The Health Reform Care Bill!

I f House Members and the Senate, and even the President, HOLYBAMA, WOULD SHUT THE HECK UP FOR ONE SINGLE SOLITARY MOMENT, THEY WOULD HEAR US, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CLEARLY. PASS YOUR BILL IF YOU CHOOSE,,,,,"WE THE PEOPLE", DO NOT PLAN ON USING IT, FINE US, IF YOU MUST!!!

HAZEL PARK, MI 48030

p.s.~ over the past 10 years "we the people" have had about enough from the Rangle camp to fill a zillion trailer loads of crap to last and last our great great great grandchildren's lives, OK Charlie. How about just talking like a normal person, whether your white and I'm black, or I'm white and your black, let it GO, FOR GODS SAKE. YOU SIR HAVE CAUSED SO MANY PROBLEMS BY TALKING IT ISN'T FUNNY. MR. RANGEL ONE DAY YOU WILL ANSWER TO GOD FOR ALL THE GRIEF YOU HAVE CAUSED PEOPLE FOR THE STUPIDITY AND THINGS YOU HAVE SAID JUST TO MAKE NEWS! IT REALLY WASN'T FOR ANY REAL REASON, IT NEVER HAS REALLY MEANT ANYTHING IMPORTANT, IT WAS JUST TO CAUSE TROUBLE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL GOD WHY YOU DID SOME OF THESE STUPID THINGS YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR LIFE IN THE NAME OF RACE!! GOOD LUCK, BECAUSE WATCHING SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE DOME OVER THE YEARS ARE SO PUZZLING AND REVOLTING, HOW ABOUT JUST BEING NICE! HOW ABOUT JUST LIVING BY THE GOLDEN RULE, GODS RULE, TREAT OTHERS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, EVER THINK ABOUT THAT, AND MAYBE YOU COULD PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO YOUR FRIEND AL SHARPTEN, HE COULD USE SOME ADVICE IN BEING NICE TO PEOPLE ALSO~~

DetNews finally covers ACORN story after spiking it for 6 days.

This story broke last Friday. As of yesterday, Tuesday, there was zero coverage in DetNews, although the blogs were full of discussion. This after the US Census bureau cut off ACORN funding for the census Friday, and the Senate voted 83-7 to cut off some funding on Monday. It is obvious our congressional officials don't get thier news from the DetNews, who spiked the story.

Now Deb Price gives it some coverage but uses "..." to cut off the full quote about pimps and prostitutes, continuing the coverup as much as possible. You can go to links and find out more but on the surface she is hiding what is going on.

Go to biggovernment.com to get the whole story.

And remember, the real story is how much media in the US in totally in the bag for Obama and the Dems. I'llbe cancelling my subscription to this now totally worthless source of news.

Health Care Reform

Any health care reform/universal health care initiative needs to address illegal immigrant access to our health care system...this group of people(those whom should not be in this country for whatever reasons) cost the american taxpayer and system tens of billions, with a capital B, each year...this same group of people more times than not access the most expensive area of our health care system - emergency care services...often at 5x or higher the cost of regular medical visits to our family or individual doctors...we must demand accountability and accurancy if we the taxpayers are to fully embrace health care reform...

Equally important is the need to include vision, hearing and dental coverage...why these have been treated as excessive areas of coverage is beyond me...these are primary areas of health on the human body...we should and must include some baseline care for vision, hearing and dental...

And lastly, any health care reform must include our congressional leaders excepting the same coverage! If they are apart of the same system we will get the kind of health care we deserve!!!

That's if you trust Carl Levin...

1 month ago, I sent an E-Mail to levin, stabenow and McCotter asking 1 thing. "Have you read the Health Bill" Mr McCotter answered my E-Mail in 4 days, I still havn't heard from the 2 other's. I guess they must be too busy.

cap and trade

When I see all these Michigan manufacturing jobs that have been NAFTA-ed off to Mexico.

I'm grateful for my energy sector job with an oil company. I worry that "Cap and trade" could, in time, send me to the unemployment line.

If you look closely at cap and trade, there are plenty of reasons to be concerned that it will cause even more jobs to be lost here in Michigan. Here in this link you can see that, not only is Rep McCotter concerned about the possibly of cap and trade, causing even more Michigan manufacturing jobs to get outsourced, but Some of the Michigan Democrats also see the potential harm this cap and trade could bring to Michigan families.

Cap and trade could be even worse than NAFTA.

blue cross

and I would like to ask Blue Cross why they should be able to buy a FOR PROFIT insurance company like the Accident Fund with their excess cash made off their policy holders in their NON PROFIT company and then plead they have only made a pittance on their investment in Blue Cross. These swine bleed off capital into profiteering corporations, then demand price increases from their policy holders to further fund their rip off of folks who buy their medical insurance.
