Change 'In God We Trust' to 'Trust Truth, Freedom, Love.'

The word God can mean many things to different people. I believe in one god and I think Truth, Freedom, Love sums God up realy well. There seem to be to many people out there that believe in a God of lies, slavery, and hate and I do not want some people who reject God because of lies, slavery, and hate preached by some, to think I have any thing to do with a so called God. Because my God is a God of Truth, Freedom, Love.

Trust Truth, Freedom, Love.

health care 

Have health insurance companies follow the same rules walmart does. If walmart refuses to sell you something you can sue them, if walmart gives someone 20% off the price and not you, you can sue them, so why do we let the health insurance companies do this? I say do not let the health insurance companies turn people away, instead sell them insurance, also if the health insurance plan is the same the price should be the same. Then give a tax credit to get everyone to have health insurance.

When voting for or against an idea say why and offer your idea how to fix the problem. Stop and think about the ideas and what thay mean. Some people think government can not do any thing right, others think the private secter can not do anything right, both are wrong it is people that mess up and people that get it right, some people always mess up some people always get it right, most people get it right sometimes and mess up sometimes including me. Try to know where you are weak and strong, a hard thing to do sometimes. Marx did not think the private secter did any thing right, so he had government do everything so what went wrong? The wrong people got into the government. What is so good about the USA is not the private secter or capitalism, no it is the checks and balances on power in this country, and most of our current problems is we are not checking power enough, to much power in one place is not a good thing, and just because it is popular does not make it right or make it the best thing to do like take 99 people and 50 people vote to make the other 49 slaves. We need good ideas not popular ones. Give a good idea a chance and it will become popular. Give a popular idea a chance and a lot of times it backfires.

health care 

I believe that someone such as the Surgeon General should determine what a basic health plan (driven by public health care policies) should be. Once such a basic plan is determined all health insurance companies will be required to provide the provisions of such plan to any United States citizen. Insurance companies would be allowed to charge whatever price they determined is equitable but they would have to charge all of their customers the same price, though each company would differ in price. Everyone would get a tax credit that covers most of the cost of the premiums for the basic plan and be required to buy the basic plan before buying optional health insurance. Along with this basic policy for everyone the paperwork would be standardized across all insurance companies, hospitals and health care providers.

Since the insurance company has to charge each one of its customers the same price they can advertise the price on radio, television, print advertising creating a competitive market. Since the basic plan is the same, consumers will be able to compare the base rate and optional coverage easier. This would eliminate insurance companies from refusing people for insurance for the basic plan. However, insurance companies could charge accordingly and set their own guidelines for optional insurance. Also government can help the poor with their premiums.

a better way for clean coal 

Parts of the economic stimulus package have been so hastily written that energy lobbyists say little-known renewable technologies could be shut out of research funding.

Potentially left stranded is a budding form of algae-based carbon capture that could cost significantly less than the traditional clean coal technology, according to experts.

Both the House and Senate bills allot billions of dollars in research funds for carbon capture and storage — a very expensive and still unproven method of capturing carbon emissions and storing them underground.

But as Congress inches closer to final passage of the bill, a small group of startup algae companies, which had been almost entirely off the Washington grid until late last year, are making a last-minute sprint to get lawmakers to broaden the funds to an up-and-coming form of carbon capture. The technology uses algae to turn the carbon emissions into biofuels, rather than storing them in underground geologic formations.

Advocates say the algae-based technology, which could find funding under broad wording in the Senate bill, could be ready to go commercial in three to four years with proper funding and would cost significantly less than underground storage, giving the United States a near-ready option to move away from foreign fossil fuels.

According to Credit Suisse, traditional geologic carbon capture research, covered in the House bill, needs at least $15 billion worth of investment and 10 more years of research before it will be ready to go commercial.

The price tag on a recent clean coal demonstration, FutureGen, reached $1.8 billion before the Bush administration scuttled it last year. In comparison, one algae advocate estimates it would cost $5 million to build a large algae demonstration plant.

“The difference between us and them is that their stuff has not been done — it’s nothing more than a very expensive science experiment,” said Tim Zenk, vice president of corporate affairs at Sapphire Energy, one of several algae companies lobbying for the funding. “It would certainly be a shame to have missed this important technology if we’re really trying to address climate change.”

Zenk’s company is part of the Algal Biomass Organization, a trade group that includes Boeing, the International Air Transport Association and several algae technology companies from Silicon Valley.

A group spokesman said there are about 25 companies in the nation ready to work with the money in the stimulus and nearly 100 that are in the very early stages of working with the technology. Other byproducts can include fertilizer and animal feed.

Both the aviation industry and the Pentagon have been eyeing algae as the next source of jet fuel — and having algae conductors feed off the carbon pollution of power plants could give them an abundant supply.

Some are already trying to use it. Last month, for instance, Continental Airlines flew a Boeing 737 jet on fuel partially made from algae.

direct alcohol type fuel cell to run cars 

The present invention relates to an electrolyte membrane, said electrolyte membrane being excellent for use in an electrochemical device, particularly a fuel cell, and more specifically a direct alcohol type fuel cell.

Accompanying increased activity in global environmental protection, prevention of the emission of so-called greenhouse gases and NOx is being strongly called for. Putting automobile fuel cell systems into practical use is considered to be very effective for reducing the total emission of such gases.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC, Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell), which are one type of electrochemical device employing a polymer electrolyte membrane, have excellent advantages such as low temperature operation, high output density, and a low environmental load. Among them, a PEFC for methanol fuel is thought to be promising as power for an electric automobile or a power source for portable equipment since methanol fuel can be supplied as a liquid fuel in the same way as gasoline.

PEFCs employing methanol as a fuel are divided into two types, that is, a reformed methanol type in which methanol is converted into a gas containing hydrogen as a main component using a reformer, and a direct methanol type (DMFC, Direct Methanol Fuel Cell) in which methanol is used directly without using a reformer. Since the DMFC does not require a reformer it has large advantages, such as it being possible to reduce the weight, and it is anticipated that it will be put into practical use.

tax ideas 

Here are some ideas on taxes.

Have a resource tax, God put resources on earth for everyone not just the rich, people should keep the wealth from there labor mind and body, but not from the resources they own, that wealth can be used to run the government and any wealth left over return to the people, and only let them keep some of it if they give good jobs to Americans and make the environment cleaner. You can give tax credits for each American they hire at a minimum yearly salary with health care benefits also give tax credits for improving the environment and tax them more if they degrade the environment. A resource tax and the income tax I think are the only moral taxes I would get rid of all other taxes. A resource tax is like the property tax but it will not tax you on your labor and can be applied to more things. Labor would only be tax by the income tax. I would give all Americans a basic income allowance that is not taxed then set a poverty level any income below that also not taxed then a flat tax on any income above it and then a surtax on incomes over $250,000.00 base on unemployment, the higher the unemployment the higher the surtax, after all it is the rich that hires and fires people, and if they hire enough Americans at a good yearly income and keep the environment clean I would not care if they paid no taxes, but if they send all the jobs out of the country and ruin the environment I say tax them at 100%.

flexible fueled cars 

Robert Zubrin argues that the United States is subsidizing a war against itself because of its dependence on oil, a resource controlled by its enemies. He says that if Congress passed a law requiring all new cars sold in the United States to be flexible fueled, OPEC's control on the world's transportation fuel supply would be diminished.

Venezuela's Hugo Chavez says he wants to send oil to $200 a barrel. Robert Zubrin has a plan to stop him. In his just released book, Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil, Zubrin, an American aerospace engineer known previously primarily for his inventive approach to Mars exploration, lays out the strategy.

To say the book is remarkable would be a severe understatement. Combining soaring idealism, incisive thinking, and a viscous go-for-throat killer instinct in a single package, Energy Victory is the first book I have ever read that actually lays out a credible plan to turn around the world energy situation.

In this compelling argument for a new direction in US energy policy, world-renowned engineer and best-selling author Robert Zubrin lays out a bold plan for breaking the economic stranglehold that the OPEC oil cartel has on our country and the world. Zubrin presents persuasive evidence that our decades-long relationship with OPEC has resulted in the looting of our economy, the corruption of our political system, and now the funding and protection of terrorist regimes and movements that are committed to our destruction. Debunking the false solutions and myths that have deterred us from taking necessary action, Zubrin exposes the fakery that has allowed many politicians - including current US president George W. Bush - to posture that they are acting to resolve this problem while actually doing nothing significant toward that goal.

Zubrin's plan is straightforward and practical. He argues that if Congress passed a law requiring that all new cars sold in the USA be flex-fueled - that is, able to run on any combination of gasoline or alcohol fuels - this one action would destroy the monopoly that the oil cartel has maintained on the globe's transportation fuel supply, opening it up to competition from alcohol fuels produced by farmers worldwide. According to Zubrin's estimates, within three years of enactment, such a regulation would put 50 million cars on the road in the USA capable of running on high-alcohol fuels, and at least an equal number overseas.

Energy Victory shows how we could be using fuel dollars that are now being sent to countries with ties to terrorism to help farmers here and abroad, boosting our own economy and funding world development. Furthermore, by switching to alcohol fuels, which pollute less than gasoline and are made from plants that draw carbon dioxide from the air, this plan will facilitate the worldwide economic growth required to eliminate global poverty without the fear of greenhouse warming. Energy Victory offers an exciting vision for a dynamic, new energy policy, which will go a long way toward safeguarding homeland security in the future and provide solutions for global warming and Third World development.

taxes 

I would have a resource tax. I would tax people on the resources thay use up, destroyed, or any thay keep for thier private use. The resources of the earth should be shared by all and if someone use up, destroyed, or keep any for just thier private use thay should pay the rest of us for those resources through a resource tax that can be use to pay for government and any money left over can be rebated back to the rest of us. Since the rich use the most resources thay would pay the highest taxes. If you reclaimed resources you can get a tax credit, like cleaning up a river or recyling trash.

David McDonell health care plan 

I would like to share my ideas regarding national health care with you.

I believe that someone such as the Surgeon General or someone else should determine what a basic health plan (driven by public health care policies) should be. Once such a basic plan is determined all health insurance companies will be required to provide the provisions of such plan to any United States citizen. Insurance companies would be allowed to charge whatever price they determined is equitable but they would have to charge all of their customers the same price, though each company would differ in price. Everyone would be required to buy the basic plan before buying optional health insurance. Along with this basic policy for everyone the paperwork would be standardized across all insurance companies, hospitals and health care providers.

Since the insurance company has to charge each one of its customers the same price they can advertise the price on radio, television, print advertising creating a competitive market. Since the basic plan is the same, consumers will be able to compare the base rate and optional coverage easier. This would eliminate insurance companies from refusing people for insurance for the basic plan. However, insurance companies could charge accordingly and set their own guidelines for optional insurance. Also government can help the poor with their premiums. The government also should set up an insurance plan for the insurance companies that thay all pay into, so that smaller insurance companies could offer health insurance, so if a insurance company has a person with health cost of over a million dollars thay could collect from the government plan. Also make medicare and mediaid cradle to grave plans so to make insurance companies to keep you healthy for your whole life and not just keeping you healthy till you get on medicare. And to make every one get health insurance give a tax credit to everyone that buys health insurance that will pay for most if not all of the cost of the health insurance, the tax credit would be base on the number of people insured for the household and not the cost of the health insurance, but it still should cover most if not all of the cost of the health insurance. For people doing unhealthy acts, I say tax them, tax smoking, tax unsafe cars, tax unhealthy food, and use those taxes to help fund health care.

if you want to contact me, I think my plan would be easier to do than most others health plans. Tell me how to make it better.
