Civic Participation

A very dear friend of mine has recently rescued 128 little girls from Thai brothels and has put every single one of them up for adoption. Some of the children were as young as 5 years old and suffered from a variety of sexually transmitted diseases and a host of other problems. Out of the 128 children, only 25 are still up for adoption. Most of them are now with loving families in the USA, Europe, Japan, and Canada. He has accomplished all of this through his own personal effort, a mere 100,000 dollars from his own pocket (that's twice his yearly job salary) and only a little bit of outside assistance (mostly information from social service groups and former ambassadors).

I want him to be recognized for his great work and his service to humankind. Problem is, this humble chap absolutely hates the idea of becoming famous. What do you think would be a good way to celebrate this outstanding individual without giving him unwanted celebrity status? I already have some ideas but need more.

This is ridiculous. If I had been in her situation I would still be rotting in jail, with or without a rash or psychological problems. Is there anyone willing to stand up and make this woman answer for her actions, or is the United States government and the government of California a hoax, that is truly controlled by those with money?

My teacher told me to write a letter to him (long story), but she's an f-ing b*tch (forbearing butch) and she wouldn't give me his address 0_0 (!!)

I live in Virginia, I think my Congressman is that cute guy whose name I don't know, but how can I write to him?? I mean, I've heard about people doing it before!

You asked about the environment. I voted for you and others in a position better than I to do something better for the environment, the economy, healthcare, and the educational system. Why are you wasting my time by asking me stupid questions? You guys should be working on solving the problems we're facing and solving them.Please prove that you are worth my vote.

Oh of course we hear lots about the troops and their dilemma in Iraq but not near enough; while the Lou Dobbs of this world are preoccupied with the illegals...

99% of U.S. citizens HATE this amnesty bill, but Congress is lying...saying more of us like it than hate it.

We know, by the response to our questions, that most people hate amnesty for the better criminals...the ones that don't get caught sneaking across the border, the ones who successfully push into our country to take our money, destroy our land and wildlife with overpopulation because they are too cowardly to fight by the tens of millions in their own country FOR their own country.

I say we throw the bums of both parties out next election! Vote only for people who do the will of the citizens of the United States.

U.S. citizens fought for this country, and many died. Why don't Mexicans go back to their country by the tens of millions, and demonstrate around their government offices?

Have some courage instead of destroying our land. There are too many people in this country--millions of species are going extinct!

What a small percentage of illegal employers want is not what the average U.S. citizen wants.

What would you do if, like me, the Republican National Convention was coming to your hometown in 2008? Would you be amongst the protesters, the counter-protesters, the mob, the police force, or would you be sitting at home with a beer in hand?

Why spend money and be controversial - who can complain about a natural setting that is allowed to stay forever - people can view the area from afar. Why do we have to spend $58million in tax money on a 'thing' to remember.

Hillary Clinton said that we are going to have to take some things away from people for the common good!! In other words, we are going to penalize those who have taken charge of their lives and earned themselves a nice lifestyle. Once again, we have a politician using the class war argument. It is truly sad that these individuals (politicans) is partially to blame for this. It is welfare that has created this condition. Why work when the government will pay you to stay home. So, here it is, the new leader or voice of the Democratic party telling the world that her party is coming for your money and the audience stood and clapped. Should it you and I that decided who we want to give our money to?
