Do they have pay phones? Cellphones? Are there designated phones that they use? Do they only get so many calls that they can make? Just curious how this works?

when i rented my apartment , it came with a parking space. I just bought a new truck F150 longbed. One day i was backing up and hit a car, but i spoke to the owner of the other car and told him i would pay for the damage. He must of told the manager what happened, because she said that i could no long park my truck in my parking spot, or i would have to move out. now she rented the my spot out for $25.00 dollars a month. Is that fair what she is doing, and if not who can i call to complain? Please help

From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, Grassfire.org

+ + This may explain why President Bush is
pushing the amnesty agenda. -- Steve

Kevin,

If you have been scratching your head trying to figure out
why President Bush has pushed so hard for amnesty, here's
your "smoking gun."

An effort is underway to create a North American "framework"
that will all but eliminate hard borders between Mexico,
the U.S. and Canada. This "framework" includes a "trusted
travelers" program that allows "citizens of North America"
to move freely within the three countries.

No wonder the President is pushing amnesty!

On August 20-21, President Bush will join Mexican President
Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Harper for the second
Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summit.

The SPP is what many believe to be the beginnings of the
infrastructure for the North American Union. The SPP's
stated goal is to:

"...Consolidate our action into a North American
framework to confront security and economic challenges,
and promote the full potential of our people, addressing
disparities and increasing opportunities for all."

This tri-lateral agreement already has resulted in regulatory
changes and open borders initiatives that clearly undermine
our sovereignty. The SPP is the one touting the "trusted
travelers" program to encourage migration of "citizens of
North America."

+ + Petition opposing a North American Union

Today, Grassfire is launching a national petition formally
opposing these and other efforts to create a North American
"framework" and undermine our nation's sovereignty.

I want to rally 100,000 signers before the SPP meetings this
month and have them on hand in Canada as part of a building
citizen protest against such efforts.

Please go here for more information and to sign:

+ + Exclusive interview with author Jerome Corsi

New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi just completed
a new book detailing our government's rapid move toward a
North American "union." It's called "The Late Great USA."

Corsi agreed to record a special interview "briefing" on the
NAU for our Grassfire team members. Go here to listen to
that interview and to access Grassfire’s detailed backgrounder
on the NAU and the NAFTA superhighway:

http://www.grassfire.org/89/petition.asp?RID=12041632

Kevin, of course the President denies that the SPP
is a precursor to a North American "Union." But there is
mounting evidence that the SPP is creating precisely that
structure -- all without any congressional oversight!

Will you help me rally 100,000 citizens before this latest
SPP meeting convenes -- in less than two weeks?

Please sign and then forward this message to your entire email network.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Elliott, President

I was reading where it happened in 2006, and some of the soldiers are already out. Then he has an interview saying they were going to set up the actual "Insurgent," whom they believed was planting bombs, to make it look like he was doing it again. Instead of doing that, the dogs at his home were barking too much, so they decided to kill his neighbor. Who to this day they don't know who he was. Then the ones charged with murder got unpremeditated murder charges. Here in America if you rob a store, and your partner shoots the cashier and kills him, you both get murder charges. Why is it not that way in the military? They planned to kill someone, but ended up killing someone else, why are they getting off so easy? The most received was 15 yrs, the other are getting 1-8 and then they are getting out early!

First of all, I am from a country always having political problem.

Elected governments often (if not always) corrupt or govern in the way to benefit themselves over the nation or people.
Politicians likely go for their own benefit and hardly represent people needs as they are supposed.
People of Thailand, Philippines, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, etc have to protest, set up a mob, etc to request or send a message of what they really need instead of doing that through their representatives.
Why does democracy seem to work well in Europe and North
America, but not in the rest of the world?
What is missing in those systems?
Do they have less good politicians?
Is it their culture?
Aren't people aware of their roles and rights?
Don't they have enough education?
What is wrong with their systems?
How can we fix them?

Yet, these leaders have given us policies that (((ENCOURAGE)) companies to close factories here and send jobs overseas to other countries and even to tyrnannical communist regimes that have nukes pointed at us, and are building armies to go to war against us.

Our leaders have spent more money than we take in from taxes and to make up the difference they have put us in hoc to countries who are tyrannical communist and are building armies to fight us.....oh...and also give weapons to other enemy countries in the meanwhile to kill our soldiers.

Our leaders have ((((invited)) and ((allowed))) mexico to tell its people to leave mexico and go to the USA and break our laws, cross our borders illegally and take jobs that ordinarily would be done by americans and or depress their wages.

I know the Republicans in the three branches of the Federal Government do a terrific job of catering to lobbyists. But lobbyists can only give them money, not votes. So which voters feel "represented"?

For example, when the GOP blocks a bill aimed at giving healthcare to poor kids and paying for it by taxing tobacco, who is sitting at home saying, Boy, I sure am glad we sent that guy to Washington, he definitely knows what my values are. Or when the House's energy policy is held up because it cuts government subsidies for private oil companies - aren't conservatives supposed to oppose subsidies on principle? Or is it just subsidies for Clean energy that they can't live with?

It seems to me like the only people being represented here are Big Oil, Big Tobacco, and smokers who care more about cheap cigarettes than about their kids getting cancer from second-hand smoke. But maybe I'm not seeing the Big Picture. Could one of you loyal conservative voters please explain it to me?

I have been searching the net but cannot find the interview of Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer on August 5th, 2007. He was interviewing President Karzai, the president of Afganistan. In the interview, Wolf asked President Karzai was American soilders trigger happy and Karzai came to our soldiers defense. Also Karzai blasted Obama for his statements about bombing Pakistan. However I heard nothing about this in the news.
When searching the transcripts the comments of Karzai blasting Obama has been removed or lets say was not put in the article. CNN stated that the rest of the transcript will be posted later but now you can't even find it.
What is going on?
If President Karzai had blasted a republican candidate do you think we would have heard about it. And not only heard about it but it would have been discussed ad nauseam.

If anyone can find the unedited transcript please send me a link.

Despite the fact that the hottest year on record was 1934 I believe we are causing global warming and will be under water before the world series

I believe poor people are poor not because they didnt seek education and not because they had children out of wedlock in high school but because of the racist policies of our government

They only want to raise your taxes to help feed and clothe lazy people.

I'm not talking about the disabled (mentally and physically), but I'm talking about the slothful that just won't work. If you are a hard-worker, you can't possibly want a SOCIALIST in the White House.

Our taxes should go to what we need like firehouses, police departments, sanitation workers, etc. You know, the things that benefit ALL OF US!
