Millions of middle-class Americans can NOT afford health insurance but can't get govt assistance because they "earn too much"?

I have plenty of footage of clinics festooned with Spanish-language signs for CHIPS, Medicare and Medicaid. Many moms in their early teens with several kids. None speaking English, of course. They get all they need. We get nothing. Who can help?

I got a speeding ticket for going 101MPH in Fresno, CA. It was really early in the morning and I had been taking a road trip. No alcohol or anything involved substance wise. I have zero tickets before this and I am over the drinking age. The cop didn't say anything to me, he simply handed me the ticket and sent me on my way. 2 months later or so, I just got my notice in the mail that I have to go to the Fresno court before October, on a tuesday only in the morning. The notice did not have a ticket price on it, or a ticket, just a small notice that I have to go to court there on a Tuesday. Also, that court is pretty far away from my home, like 200 miles or so. What could happen to me, and what should I do? Anything specific with this area would really help to... Thanks!

When I applied to become an US citizen the immigration dept ran a FBI background check. Now that I'm applying to get certified as an Emergency Medical Technician by the Los Angeles County, they ran a DOJ background check. Since both are criminal background checks, I was wondering what the difference is between the two? What does one reveals that the other doesn't?

if you knew for sure (say God told you) that the U.S. was in a war that would hurt the nation more than it would ever help it... would you still support said war?

I have a criminal record and a GED. I've spoken to navy recruiters and I will need a bunch of wavers to join even though I got a 96 on the ASVAB. I recently heard that the army is offering large bonuses because re-enlistment is down. Does that mean that it is easier to get in?

We've heard millions of reasons why we went. The Bush administration had an agenda to go in even before he was president, yet people still support it. Why? What did Iraq do to us? If we are fighting the "war on terrorism," why aren't we everywhere? There are more terrorist in the world than just Iraq. There are more there now than before the U.S. invasion. Is it that the far-right goes with whatever Bush says? 9/11 wasn't hoped for by him, but it was a good reason to go to Iraq. I think Cheney said, "hey George you wanted to go to Iraq, why not start in Afghanistan then go?" "We can get support from the country because we have it with Afgan war." Bush already said that the next president will have to get the U.S. out. Red flag? Is he admitting a mistake? And for the war supporters, why aren't you helping fight for Iraq's freedom? Because that is what you will be fighting for. The best thing about '08? Bush can't run and Cheney doesn't want to. Thank God. Anybody but Bush.

I received many answers telling me McDonald's was my only hope and that I deserved no future for being a criminal. Well, I lost my teaching job only because I opened my mouth and now I am a secretary whose boss knows all about my past and still trusts me with his house, his business, and thousands of dollars cash. Just because I used to drink and got a DUI doesn't make me evil, nor does someone who stole, or bounced a big check or tore a label off a mattress. Thank you to all the people who said, have hope, keep applying. I have a big, 3 bdrm house, my daughter back, a fiance who makes 2 grand a week and new puppy, ferret and 4 birds. My nightmares and memories are mine to deal with but people should be positive and give others hope instead of be mean about it. Life is mean enough. I do deserve what I get, but at times I deserve the good I get too. I just drove over 20 miles to help a complete stranger who needed help late at night. People are basically good, just screwups at times.

I have to contac thte number on the citation within 10 days. I am so depressed. I can't believe I was so dumb. I have never done anythi gbad and lately I have had this problem. I am bipolar and I am not excusing it but I think I have a problem. I am going to talk to my therapist about it. I am not glad I got caught but then I am glad because now I know I won't ever do it again. It scared me shitless. I think that it happened for a reason. Cuz I could of done it more and gotten in more trouble. Anyways, they put down that I stole under 50 bucks. I think they let me off easy because the whole time I was crying and I am a overall good person. I was truthful and I just did everything they told me to. I know this is horrible but I am not a bad person so please don't judge me. I just need to knwo if this is somethin that will be on my record forever.

The Terrorists have hit London, Spain, Bali and others but because of George W. Bush's policies;

Wire Taps
Patriot Act
Cuba Prison Camps
Fighting them over there....so we don't have to fight them over here.

The terrorists have not been able to strike America on her own soil.

Unfortunately, we often blame George Porgy for screwing up the American pudding and pie, he kissed the American Babies and made them cry, as they are left behind in the educational promise of "no child left behind". When the Iraqians and the Afgahnistanians came out to play Georgy Porgy was missing that day. Another leave of adsent from the call of duty to protect and serve this our great Nation U.S.A. Did the Christian Jesus Christ voted for George to be President of God bless American Nation? Lets learn from yahoo experts of the miseducation of American politics and social commentators.

This could be an on-going plan of nation building. Without a credible plan the Liberal Government and the aspirations of your voters is doomed. It's the vision thing---stupid! Wasn't Bill Clinton elected on the slogan, "It's the economy---stupid". Key members of your Government must provide a fiscally responsible plan and provide very believable public backing of it otherwise we will get empty rhetoric and public wastefulness of the fruits of the rest of this economic cycle. Who can forget that when Labor was last in office, that they oversaw the collapse of State banks, the sale of the Commonwealth Bank and Qantas and tipped the money from these sales straight down the drain? Yes, it will probably happen again irrespective of what Labor says before the election.

"Some 45% of all Republicans report being very happy, compared with just 30% of Democrats and 29% of independents. This finding has also been around a long time; Republicans have been happier than Democrats every year since the General Social Survey began taking its measurements in 1972.

Since 1972, the GOP happiness edge over Democrats has ebbed and flowed in a pattern that appears unrelated to which party is in political power.

For example, Republicans had up to a 10 and 11 percentage point happiness edge over Democrats in various years of both the Carter and Clinton presidencies."
