I'm pretty sure I saw a bumper sticker that named he-who... as the new Republican candidate. Nobody else on the ticket could really continue the Bush policies as well.

I have an individual policy with Blue Cross and Blue Shield. When I first obtained the policy (after a switch in employment), I was given a book showing all of the doctors covered under my policy. I was happy to see that my thearapist was one of them and continued my thearpy with her. After the first session I receieved a letter from BCBS stating that my coverage did not include mental health issues (since I had only an individual policy and not a group policy) so they would not cover my bills. After extensive complaints and appeals they admitted that they sent me the wrong book for my policy which had stated that this doctor was covered by them and I was basically out of luck and ended up having to pay the bill myself. Can an insurance company really deny you mental health coverage? Isn't this a form of discrimination? I can't even see the doctor for depression without them denying my claim. What is wrong with this picture?

Patriots stand together for there own good. They do not remain apathetic and divided until the powers that be unite them to support their agendas?
We must stand together. We don't need a leader that supports our views on specific issues. We need a leader that will defend our freedom and civil liberties as a whole. I don't want to hear another word about abortion, gay rights or any other controversy until I know that my freedoms are safe and in tact with my own government.
I don't fear foreign terrorist I fear domestic terrorist empowered with our trust.
I am a pro war conservative. I am against welfare, medicare and most tree hugging hippie liberal crap. Although I do understand the importance of what is being preached. The system is not set up for liberal ideology. I am a realist. But I will fight to free our minds and move toward a More harmonies intelligent society.
1st we must put our issues aside, stand together and remove the power from an overly corrupted government.

He has named himself & his wife as "parents" & "legal guardians" on school registration information AGAIN this year. He has done the same on paperwork at my son's doctor's office (the same dr. I've been taking him to since he was born.) We both have joint legal & physical custody but he continues to try to present his new wife as my son's mother & continues to ignore my rights as my son's mother & his co-legal guardian. We split custody time 50/50. My ex is named "primary" custodian only because I didn't have money for an attorney during our divorce & didn't know any better. So, if you feel like beating me up about that don't waste your time. I've already beat myself up enough about it.

Once again this year I am left with the burden of proof with the school system to prove I am the mother of my son with rights to see him & have custody of him. Any ideas how to get this madness to stop?! Do I have any legal recourse? Your help & advice is greatly appreciated.

This might be a little long, but I appreciate any help given. I've been having trouble with Tricare Prime, but the main problem is right now is that they billed my husband and I $170 for an eye exam off base for my husband. In the Tricare Prime handbook it states that Active Duty and Active Duty family member can get 1 free eye exam a year. I got my exam and the place I went to off base, I asked them if my husband was allowed to get one free exam as well. And they told me yes. So my husband got an eye exam, and then a week later Tricare bills us for $170 stating that my husband is not allowed to be going off base. I did not kow this and I am new to all this military stuff, but in the handbook it doesn't say anywhere that an active duty service member cannot go off base. Well I just need some help and advice, I appreciate it. Thanks.

There are many Americans who think that 911 was an inside job. The invasion and occupation of both Afghanistan and Iraq are based upon the claim that Muslims are responsible for 911. Now that the shock of 911 is over, and that many Americans are calling... even demanding that The U.S. get out of Iraq should there be a congressional investigation into 911?

In your opinion, what do you think the United States of America would be like today if Al Gore was elected President in 2000 and was right not serving his second term in office?

There are no right or wrong answers to this question.

I was hoping that you might be able to help me a little bit. I have looked and looked on the Internet for some info. about Americans moving to Mexico, but however I put in a search, it always comes back with Mexicans moving here. There's a man at my work whose brother is going to be living in Mexico. He doesn't talk to his brother very often, but he found out some information for me. He said that I can go with a passport and stay for 30 days. In that 30 days, I apply for a passport extension, and in the 6 months, then I do the major paperwork and things to be able to stay for longer and work legally and things. I also would like to bring my car with me if possible, but some of my friends said that might now work either. They said that certain years of cars are illegal in Mexico, but that doesn't really make sense to me. I'm pretty sure that as long as I register my car in Mexico and get Mexican plates that it will be fine. So I have no idea how to register my car in mexico

I'm 17. And I got a spending ticket this month. I was speeding 51 mph in a 30mph. And it is not my first ticket , i got another ticket back in April for running a red light. He let me off with court supervision. But i was just reading on the Illinois dmv site. That if you get two moving violations, then they suspend your license. Do you think they'll just send me traffic school? And forgive this ticket. I hope they do.
