Civic Participation

I really don't want to be on a Jury. Heck, I don't even want to have to go to the instructional class, or the selections.

I'm in NH, and my older brother is a convicted felon in Mass... for most of the rest of his life.

Other than that my record is squeaky clean. I have no relatives in Law inforcement and no tickets or accidents on my driving record. No law suits, no anything really.

It couldn't have come at a worse time. I'm an accountant, and the instructions and selection are the week of our January month end close, and my company was just aquired by a huge fortune 50 company and we are trying to impress so none of us gets canned. Plus one other accountant in my dept just quit last week, and our boss is on Maternity leave... so it's already work overload enough.

I just don't want to do it and hope that having a convicted relative will help me get off the roster!! Will it?????

In 2004, I know John Kerry would lose,because their was no difference him and bush. Hillary Clinton or obama are not good enough either like kerry was in 2004.
Liberals do not make the same the third time. Show the democrats that if no one going to end this illegal Iraq war that they will no get the Liberal vote. The democrats are already given up on all their promises they made in 2006.

Stand up my liberal friends and show the democrats and republicans that they are wrong on all the issues.

You better keep on watching me, because the day my parents die is the day I coming after you. What makes you think I do not know who you are, because you have 100 of cars and people watching me?
All the others have committed suicide, will I be wait and have patience to get you. I know you think you are in control and cause fake accidents to stop me, I am in control all the time.
Whatever god you believe in, pray to him to have mercy on your souls, because I will not!

No yahoo employee deleting my question is going to stop me!

I remember that at the beginning of the writers strike in the 70s, we were all big supporters, but by the end the ultimate customers, the viewers, were extremely angry with the writers and their union. Of course, we haven't gone nearly as long as that yet, but I'm curious as to whether or not support is waning for them.

How are people feeling at this point?

It is called the 28th Amendment. Here is a link that explains what is in case you never heard of it.

The U.S. is a superpower. We have the largest economy, greatest global influence, powerful military, vast diversity, the world's longest surviving federation, the source of remarkable literature and art. That list could go on forever.

So how is it, considering all of this, that our currency is quickly losing value, our government has lost the people's trust, our health care system is one of the worst in the world, citizen's can't earn a proper education, homelessness persists through some of the world's most lavish cities, and to top it off we are not as beloved around the world as we think we are?

Does this depress you as much as it does me?

What can I do to make the United States the country that it ought to be? The land of the free and home of the brave.

Please answer that question. Don't tell me the benefits of the dollars falling value or tell me I'm reciting liberal talking points. I usually vote for conservative candidates and I understand the economics of devalued currency.

There exists no single, silver bullet to take down this beast, but it will take a lot of ingenuity and hardwork. What are some ideas that you all have out there about tackling the issue of Global Poverty?
I realize there are many socio-political issues involved in this, so please refrain from bashing anyone in the process.

You get your ballot sent to you a couple weeks ahead of time . This gives you time in the privacy of your home to research the issues and the candidates and then you simply mail in your ballot. I know many people are starting to vote absentee for this very same option in other states, but why not just use this method nationwide

I always thought that every American had to have a Social Security number. Isn't that the law?

According to this article:

http://gurujeff.com/?p=108

The author states that you only need a SSN for taxation and SS related matters and that he has gotten credit and other things without giving his.

How accurate is this article?

if so please explain why, what would it take to start a revolution, how to rally people to the cause and would you like to help/be involved. the government and whoever else who controls and dictates how we the general public/cattle live our lives are not worthy of being our "superiors" and i for one would like to be free. a motto is: any man should be able to do what he wants to do, aslong as i doesn't stop anyone else doing what they want to do.

The Ron Paul supporters are frustrated by the lack of media coverage, so they turn to the internet. We all wondered the same thing - are there other people out there, or one 14 year old with mad spammer skills? The evidence is in, there are lots of us out there. Yet every Paul question is answered by at least one person with nothing better to do but bash the candidate. Why are you people trolling the Ron Paul questions? We have done our homework, and rationally chosen our man. What are you doing, and why?

I have a friend who was offered a Americorp's Vista position but it only gives a stipend of $800 per month. In the contract it states you can't have another job... Has any one out there held another job while doing Americorps Vista? If so, did they do anything if you held another position. Thanks for any feedback!
