Calling people dumb, using all caps, and your horrible murdering of the English language isn't going to make people want to help you.
First, I have to ask you the obvious question: WHY can't you adopt?
Secondly: What breed are you looking for?
Third: How far are you willing to travel? Kudos to you for wanting to be responsible and find a good breeder, but sometimes being responsible means you have to go out of your way a bit.
If you can answer those questions in a reasonable and polite manner, I might be able to help you.

Two suggestions:
1) Go to www.ARBA.net and look for rabbitry listings by state.
2) Join the Yahoo group for Show Bunny and post a request on that site. List your location and tell what breed you are looking for and someone on their can refer you to a breeder in your area.
Price depends on the breed and your area. In the NC, SC, TN, VA areas I have seen Holland Lops sell for anywhere between $15 for a pet to as high as $700 for a show quality buck. You should be able to locate a pet quality bunny from a good breeder for less than $50.
If you want a small, solid color bunny, some suggestions are: Holland Lop, Mini Rex, Netherland Dwarf. Tell the breeder you want a pet quality, solid color buck or doe. Specify if you want a junior or senior. (A junior is less than 6 months old.)
A lot of breeders are more than willing to help a youth get into bunnies. You can join your local 4H and start showing if you really like rabbits. :-)

Another possible problem is that this isn't the season.. most are born in the spring... so, even if you find breeders they may not have any at the moment.. Google should help though.. do some research on rabbits.. find out what breed you want and then google again to find breeders. It all depends on what you are looking for.
.. and yet another.. I don't know where you are located.. so, even knowing breeders I couldn't help you since you could be 1000 miles away from them.
