  Do not allow NC Judge to take Alaina Giordano's children just because she has cancer!

  After burying my best friend of over 30 years last week to breast cancer, and being a DV survivor from my 1st marriage as well as she, I have seen what this disease itself can do... There is no reason in this world that the big government should have the right to take Alaina's children, just at the time when she needs their love and to help keep her focused on beating her disease. No reason at all...except the continued emotional abuse and terror that her ex is able to inflict on her, even now. This MUST be stopped. Prayers to Alaina and her babies... Lord hear us!

  How Do We Feel About Sarah Palin?

  Why is it that people of liberal or leftist-minded views always call people who are conservative or uphold the beliefs that our founding fathers intended for this country (like me) "fanatic" or "extremist" or some other label or derogatory name?

  
  

  Why can't you respect our right to have an opinion as much as you desire us to respect yours?

  
  

  Why can't we accept people like Sarah Palin as a human being and real person, not take shots at her hair, clothing, or which one of her daughters she takes to a sports game?

  
  

  That's why I get upset, and use my voice. The media today only reports the minutia and not the "real" issues...the dangerous issues...just the fluff...and if we dare to use our freedom of speech, liberals put us down and call us crazy extremists?  Would you all relate to people like us better, if we stooped to your level and called you names, too?

  
  

  Sorry - but I dont feel I should be labeled, just because I disagree with the current administration, progressivism, socialism, etc.

  And The War Against Ovaries Continues

  As a matter of fact, I do know first hand what the people did on CPSIA, which is why I brought it up. I write, call and demonstrate on this issue on an almost daily basis, because it has effected my company and our way of doing business.

  
  

  You are right - it is a fineline we tread. However, my point is that it should not be a federal issue. It should be something that is taken care of by the individual states, and only by a majority vote. Research on implementation costs and other options should be presented.

  
  

  ...but Obama's administration is rushing this through...just like Bush did the CPSIA. I know PERSONALLY the disaster of the CPSIA, and because of that, I am fighting to make my voice heard, and to ask people to think about the ramifications and complications that this will create...not just think about the "but it's free!" factor. It's not free. The cost is our freedom to control our lives, liberty, choices and privacy.

  
  

  
  It is my life, and I have the right to live it how I choose...and as well, I have the right to take responsibility for my actions and take care of myself, spouse and family's needs, both personally and financially. I am accountable to them, as it should be...not to an out of control government that thinks it's going to hit the lottery.

  
  

  Mark my words - if this is rushed through, and no one considers any other options, just because Obama said he would or wants to do it, we will find ourselves in the same trash heap as the EU and Canada. What you propose is short-sighted.

  
  

  I pay my way. I pay for and provide for my family. So should everyone else. Stop begging Uncle Sam to take care of everything for you.

  And The War Against Ovaries Continues

  The sheep always think that they are just "paranoid" about the wolf...until he throws off his "clothing" and eats them.

  
  

  I will not be an ostrich and pretend to not see the signs, regardless of the shell game that the biased liberal media is playing.

  
  

  You are fooling yourself if you think that nothing has, and nothing will change.

  
  

  Just because the government has "taken" the power that we have willingly given them...does not mean that they SHOULD have it!

  And The War Against Ovaries Continues

  My suggestion and plea has ALWAYS been that we should add things like this to the ballot, and let the PEOPLE of the USA vote on it. If the majority agrees, then it would be fair.

  
  

  Why can't we? We add all these other stinkin' things every year! What's the big rush, Obam-ians? A few months isnt going to change the world by waiting to see what the public thinks.

  
  

  I believe the big rush is because Obama and his administration feel the need to push this all through quickly before any one actually READS this thing, and does the research on the ramifications.

  
  

  Something as huge and far-reaching is not something to rush into. That is why so many of our small businesses are being killed by the CPSIA-HR4040 by Pres Bush. Read up on that rush-job and see just how many companies (mom & pop's, just like you and me) were made part of the unemployment line in the name of children's safety. It was hyped up and no research was done on the implementation, so the CPSC has had to back-pedal, stay, and beg for more money because Congress in their infinite wisdom said, "make it so...we'll let everyone else worry about how it will work."

  
  

  Yes, to you above who mentioned that not everyone will agree 100% of the time. True. However, your right to "choose" is no more powerful or important than my right to not support something that I am morally, religiously, personally, and/or fiscally opposed to.

  
  

  I get very angry and disappointed in those around me that continue to think that their opinions and rights are more important than mine...just because that is YOUR opinion. I respect your rights...so please have the same courtesy to respect mine and not FORCE me or others like me to fund or support something that we are against.

  
  

  How can you trust Congress to decide this, when most of them have admitted in public that they haven't even read some of the documents that they are signing!?!?! Do you trust them to make life-altering decisions, and then say, "whoopsie! Did I do that? Sorry, I missed that part."

  
  

  So, again....TAKE IT TO THE PEOPLE, AND LET US VOTE ON IT!

  How Do We Feel About Sarah Palin?

  "She's a damned embarrassment to true good women everywhere"....like who? Her Imperial Magesty Clinton or crazy Pelosi?

  
  

  Palin was honest and spoke from the heart. She was a normal human being and one of us.

  
  

  Regardless of how whether you believe in the same issues as she does...the respect for her convictions and willingness to serve should be admired.

  
  

  I'd like to see more people like her try to make positive change for America...regardless of whether I agree with their views, as long as they are really working for the betterment of all of us, and not just someone with an alternative agenda or power-grab in their pocket, which is more that I can say for about 90% of the elected officials these days.

  By saying "If she wasn't such a hypocrite..",you obviously are drinking the same Kool-Aid that the rest of the liberal media is spoon-feeding you.How is she a hypocrite? By standing up for what she believes in? By being honest and an "open book"? By being a REAL human being and being family-oriented? Would she be cooler or more acceptable if she followed the Washington sheep and lemmings?

  
  

  So, how's all the warm and fuzzy "change" stuff working out for ya? Do you even have a "clue" as to just how much you, your children and grandchildren will be paying for all of this socialist/imperial experimentation? Do you realize just how much freedom we are giving away by feeding the sloth called "big government"?

  
  

  I do, and I feel sorry for the rest of us, that do not...or suffer from the Ostrich Syndrome.

  
  

  The rest of the Washington, DC crowd are the REAL hypocrites. Oh, puh-leeze.

  And The War Against Ovaries Continues

  We agree in that we both agree that the decision should be between each us and our doctors.

  
  

  
  We disagree in that I believe that no one else should be involved at all in our decision-making...insurance companies AND government alike. 

  
  

  We cannot voluntarily give control to the government in the name of "access to certain care", funding, bail-outs or any aspects of our lives.

  
  

  I am a capitalist and constitutionalist. I believe in a free market, free speech, and freedom to choose what I do with my life, my body, and my personal/spiritual beliefs...away from ALL state or federal government control.

  
  

  I am and have been a medical professional for almost 10-years. I know the system we have now - it's ups and downs.

  
  

  By supporting "blanket funding" or blanket-anything, you are giving up your rights to all of it, and control over your choices, medical records, right to live or die because certain treatments that may or may not be deemed as fiscally or medically necessary by the government's universal healthcare department.

  
  

  That's the point. If you give up ANY rights, you give up them all.

  
  

  This is crucial point in US history. Today, we choose to follow the example of our failed EU and Canadian allies, or find another way...either with or without keeping those freedoms we hold dear.

  
  

  Sounds like from your comments, you may not realize the "big picture" of what we could be giving up, in accepting what the government is "selling" right now...I mean, hello? Did you watch that "Obamercial"? It was like watching one of those "set it & forget it" infomercials, with controlled questions & responses, controlled advertising during the showing, control-control-control...

  
  

  Obama's current Universal Healthcare plan is not the only way. We are a creative and resourceful nation. I believe we can do better than this!

  
  

  ...especially without forcing many of us to have taxes forcefully taken from us each week and feed into a cash-cow system that has proven it will continue to take and take and take from us and never balance spending with cash flow.

  
  

  I hope I made my point a little clearer. Just wanted to say thank you, for being open for a spirited discussion, and willing to listen (read), with an open mind.
