Politics & Government - 26 August 2007

I worked hard at a job that paid better than 6.OO$ an hour but being a single mom it was still hard to do certain things on my own, such as medical, My husband did pay child support but that went straight to the state! I was getting the TANF, He NEVER missed a payment! And would even give me another 100$ because I didn't get the money he sent they kept it! Which i am not complaining about!! I had the help I needed but I also paid my on taxes and worked hard to do it!! I never once sat on my rear like some do and let someone else pay for what i could pay myself but the things I did need help with is what I am very grateful for,such as my son's surgery!!!! I just did't understand how they are still doing it when I am no longer on asst. and he paid his support every month plus they kept close to 14,000$ My entire taxes and it not be paid off. I haven't been on asst. since the end of dec. For the people that do expect free rides that is diff. I am not one of them

I have already filed a small claims case several weeks ago and the case is scheduled on 9/07/07. Will sending a demand letter to the defendent statingif payment is received before the case than I will dismiss the case help me at all?

I wasn't sure if the judge will be looking for this and/or if it will help me in collecting for the additional costs of filing suit against the defendant (filing fees, supoena fees, witness fees, etc.). I don't want it looking that I didn't try to settle this on my own and thus being stuck with the costs of the case.

FYI - the case is in Colorado and I am suing the defendant for filing false criminal charges against me - recovery of lawyer fees, lost time at work, bond costs, etc. - Thus I didn't think contacting the defendant was a good idea after this had occured.

Thanks for your help!

Lets say in your nation that the government was leaning tword a facist regime

Just as the Germans did in the 30's you want to believe it isn't so

That no really bad things are happening in the camps - they just couldn't be -

But you start to realize they are -

How would you from the inside launch an appropriate counter to the growing facists in your nation ?

What would you do or not do that is or was different than those who dissented in Germany's facist movement . What lessons would you draw out of their failures to stop Hitler before he became as big as he did ?

Imagine the mainstream media did not exist, televisions were not around and the only way people got information was from reading newspapers, radio and word of mouth.

Do you think this would have a profound affect in current times when it comes to voting for candidates?

Do you think the current and past partys' from as far back as 40 years ago may be different if mainstream media and television did not exist?

What kind of impact would it have on your personal political affiliation?

Please explain.

Upon Applying For Social Assistant/ Welfare ??
(Not children just the legal asker)
Or maybe after reports of misuse of money?

Some work places ask us to do this upon hiring or random Urine Testing.

The Government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. and distribution of my taxes to
people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Because Some of us have to pass one to earn it for them…….??

Please understand – I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.

Could you imagine how much money the Government /s would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance cheque…….?

Thank you very much.

technically it was 1:30 am yesterday morning that i was pulled over for turning right on red where it was not allowed. i was issued two tickets, one for "no turn on red" and the other for driving past midnight on a provisional license. i have a court date set for next month but according to the checkbox next to "court appearance required" i do NOT have to appear in court. several people have told me i have to just go to the court house and pay the fines. (someone also told me i have to make sure they won't mail any paperwork or anything to my house too) if i go tomorrow, which is basically the soonest possible time i could go, will i be able to take care of this matter before my parents hear anything about it? do insurance rates rise for these types of tickets? if it helps, i was pulled over somewhere in monmouth county, nj.

I don't remember us failing New Orleans. Democratic Mayor, Democratic Govenor. Re-elected the same sorry Mayor. I think the leadership of Louisiana failed New Orleans and no one else. I can't tell you the number of people I know that quit caring about NO when Nagin was re-elected.

Last April, I took some financial advice from a friend and purchased 300 shares of Countrywide for about $33 each. About 6 weeks later, I felt very nervous about having $10,000 of my money in a company that makes loans to people with bad credit, when the real estate bubble had obviously burst. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you should sell, & I did for about $40 each, heck I made some money...
Two weeks later, it started to go down slightly. Others were getting the same feeling I had. Then in July-August the bottom fell out. It dropped below $20 for a while.
I had the good sense to get out. Its called thinking for myself. Worked for me.
Libs cry about troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here's a newsflash: They volunteered to join up! If they didn't know what was coming, its their own fault! My son graduated in 2005. The recruiters were after him. Did he go? No way! He's not dumb.
Whatever happens libs, its not the government's fault. Stop blaming your failures on Bush!
