Trojan Horse Obama-Care Let’s keep focused on the ball: repeal Obama-Care. That is the goal. And all sorts of things will flow from the repeal.
With no Obama-Care the government cannot wipe out private health insurance. With no Obama-Care the takeover of one sixth of the economy ceases.
Remember, Obama-Care — a Trojan Horse in our midst — already spends big bucks.
Who best will slay the Trojan Horse of Obama-Care? Romney the business man who pragmatically solves problems? Romney on the surface talks like a conservative but … Visionary Newt who defended Reagan and his policies on C-SPAN in the early 1980s for hours in the evening with the cameras rolling and nobody except a handful freshman Republicans there? Energetic and no baggage Rick Santorum who socked it to Romney on Romney-Care and who strongly opposes Marxist and socialists world wide?
You got to admit that the MD old man Ron Paul knows from personal experience how government has harmed the practice of medicine. Ron Paul is worth 2-3 million and has zero money in stocks. Paul has his money invested in gold.
So more than likely Paul would support a strong dollar and return to the gold standard. What about a Ron Paul and Rick Santorum ticket?
I live at the beach in Live Oak, CA and am very aware of some of the problems associated with dogs on the beach and understand the concerns addressed in a recent article.
I also believe the incidents are infrequent and in the 10 years I’ve lived here, I have seen a positive change in the attitude of the local dog owner community.
The beach here has long been recognized as an off-leash haven, despite the law, which also prohibits fireworks, littering, glass containers, alcohol and bonfires. I have never seen efforts by the county to monitor activities that include these.
Why punish an entire community of happy frolicking dogs and responsible dog owners for the actions of a few rotten tomatoes? There are other ways to address this issue such as off-leash hours or joining community efforts to promote public awareness and pro-active measures in keeping our beaches and parks clean and safe for everyone.
One such group is Live Oak Beach Club for which information can be found on Facebook.
It’s not unusual to see a group of these local dog owners picking up the trash and broken glass left in smoldering bonfires by drunken revelers from the night before. And no, they don’t leave their waste in bags.
Letter by Marion Morris, member of Life Oak Beach Club, published 1-29-2012 in Santa Cruz Sentinel, B2
paper clip root canal
NEW BEDFORD, Mass.— A former dentist in Massachusetts has pleaded guilty to Medicaid fraud. He used paper clips instead of stainless steel posts in root canals.
Michael Clair is scheduled to be sentenced next Monday. He plead guilty last week in New Bedford Superior Court to a variety of charges, including defrauding Medicaid of $130,000 assault and battery, illegally prescribing prescription drugs and witness intimidation. Paper clips which cause pain and infection are cheaper.
_______________ He ought to be sentenced to getting all his teeth root canaled.
worst cheapskate politicians?
Romney raked in about $42 million in 2010 and 2011. His effective tax rate was just below 14 percent, lower than that for many American taxpayers. Romney paid $6.2 million to the taxman and donated a staggering $7 million to charity, including $4.1 million to the Mormon church.
In fact, in those two years, Romney paid 16 percent of his income to charity, compared to, er, 2.6 percent by Newt Gingrich.
And what about President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in the run-up to their 2008 campaign?
USA Today broke it down here. In 2007, the Obamas gave more than $240,000 to charity, about 5.7 percent of their income. The Bidens gave an average of $369 to charity a year for the decade before he moved to the Naval Observatory – about 0.3 percent of their income. Back in 1997, then veep Al Gore and his then wife Tipper gave $353.
Since becoming veep, Biden hasn’t become much more generous. In 2010, Biden gave $5,350, about 1.4 percent of income. That same year, Romney gave some $3 million. The national average is about three percent.
teach basic grammar?
A passage in Enid Lee et al.’s “Beyond Heroes and Holidays†reads: “We cannot afford to become so bogged down in grammar and spelling that we forget the whole story. … The onslaught of anti-human practices that this nation and other nations are facing today: racism, and sexism, and the greed for money and human labor that disguises itself as ‘globalization.’â€

SiFs or NaF flurides? What can citizens and parents do to reduce ADHD, Autistic Spectrum, intellectual disability and other developmental disorders?
Make sure that all children have safe, healthy water to drink.
no chemicals water
Find out what your community puts in the water children drink.
Communities switched from NaF — which has a track record of safety — to use of SiFs — which have zero record of safety. Two huge studies of children (280,000 in Mass. and 150,000 in New York state) show elevated iron with use of fluoridated water.
Perhaps communities should use of NaF instead of SiF to fluoridate water? Might safer water remove or reduce symptoms associated with lead poisoning?
Go to Keepers of the Well.com. Or contact Jeff Green 800 728-3833 greenjeff@cox.net for more information. Let’s do all we can to see that all children and adults drink healthy water.

detained in Egrypt
Six Americans working for publicly funded U.S. organizations promoting democracy in Egypt have been barred from leaving the country. The U.S. demands that that Cairo’s new military rulers stop “endangering American lives”.
Among those hit by travel bans – one of those targeted called it “de facto detention” – include a son of the U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Other foreign staffers are also detained. How come he was detained?

Ah, springtime in Egypt — whether you like it or not!
Congressman Sam Farr is simply ineffective. He claimed that if Democrats were in control then MD and other health professionals could be paid as ‘urban’ and not ‘rural’ MDs. He has failed and continues to fail to change the designation so our MDs are paid appropriately.
Farr fails to change MD's designation
Congressman Sam Farr has failed to get local MD’s and other health professionals paid equivalent to urban MDs. Sam Farr represents Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.
Is Sam Farr simply ineffective? You decide:
Payment to health providers: Various health professionals (including MD physicians, psychiatrists and psychologists) in Santa Cruz & Monterey Counties are paid much less per patient than physicians in urban areas such as San Jose and near by cities.
So what? It matters because MD’s and other health providers do not want to take on more patients when paid only through federal government. Hence, the pool of doctors and other health providers available for older citizens is shrinking and shrinking.
This has been an on-going problem for years. Repeatedly, Democrat congressman Sam Farr has been asked to get the designation changed so that Santa Cruz, CA and Monterey are not considered ‘rural’.
Congressman Sam Farr has failed — and continues to fail — to get the designation changed.
Back in 2007, Sam Farr said in public meetings that the best way to increase reimbursements for our ‘rural’ medical doctor MDs was to vote in the Democrats.
Well, Sam Farr got what he said was necessary: Since 2008, the Democrats have been in control. And the Democrats have passed just about everything they want.
Despite control by the Democrats, Sam Farr has still never gotten the designation changed so that local MD doctors are paid equivalent to near by urban areas.
So, Sam Farr failed under the Republicans and he has failed under the Democrats to get the designation changed so our MD’s and health professionals are paid equivalent to those in San Jose and urban areas.
How much failure by Sam Farr should voters accept? Enough is enough seems to me.
dumb teachers harm students. need standards for teachers.
Incompetent teachers Question 1: Which of the following is equal to a quarter-million? a) 40,000, b) 250,000, c) 2,500,000, d) 1/4,000,000 or e) 4/1,000,000.
Question 2: Martin Luther King Jr. (insert the correct choice) for the poor of all races. a) spoke out passionately, b) spoke out passionate, c) did spoke out passionately, d) has spoke out passionately or e) had spoken out passionate.
Question 3: What would you do if your student sprained an ankle? a) Put a Band-Aid on it, b) Ice it or c) Rinse it with water.
Guess whether these questions were on a sixth-grade, ninth-grade or 12th-grade test. I bet the average reader would guess that it’s a sixth-grade test. Wrong. How about ninth-grade? Wrong again. You say, “OK, so they’re 12th-grade test questions!†Still wrong.
According to a Heartland Institute-published School Reform News (September 2001) article titled “Who Tells Teachers They Can Teach?â€, those test questions came from prospective teacher tests. The first two questions are samples from the Praxis I test for teachers, and the third is from the 1999 teacher certification test in Illinois. According to the Chicago Sun-Times (9/6/01), 5,243 Illinois teachers failed their teacher certification tests.

how contact Romney & say focus on REPEAL OBAMA-CARE
If you go to Romney’s site — there is no way to contact Romney on his site. It’s only a bill board saying what he wants to say.
So how do voters contact Romney to say stop going after the other contenders for the Republican nomination. FOCUS on what has happened on Obama’s watch (e.g., gas prices are double what they were before elected) and
The only email address listed on Romney’s site is: info@mittromney.com
Take a look at Romney’s site and let him know that you have something important to say. Please make it easy for voters to communicate to you. For example, how about a simple plan how to reform the tax code?
