  Six states are starting to make plans to opt out of any federal government health care program. That's Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Mexico and Wyoming. I bet Texas will be right behind them.

  I'm so glad states are starting to turn on the federal government.

  If an ACORN census worker comes to my home for the 2010 census, I will refuse to answer their questions.

  If we choose to use outside people rather than postal workers to do the 2010 census, when the census people come to my door I will be asking them who they are employed by and if they're involved with any organization having to do with ACORN, even under ACORN's new name. If they are in any way associated with ACORN, I will refuse to answer. I'll allow myself to get fined the $5,000 and I will refuse to pay that.

  Let me know what you think of this. I haven't thought it fully out, but it seems plausible on its face.

  Since postal employees are already being paid, they should be the ones doing the census. That would save a whole lot of money training and paying 710,00 census workers. There are 750,000 postal workers.

  Let's say it takes them two days to accomplish the task. Two Saturdays the mail is not delivered but the postal workers are doing the census instead.

  That could save us a WHOLE lot of money and it also prevents organizations like ACORN manipulating data to fit their unscrupulous agenda.

  It's really a Cap and Tax. Obama and Congress is hoping none of us realize that Congress is trying to put through ANOTHER tax on us so that we can pay for Al Gore's HUGE environmental movement that Al Gore has already made millions at and is about to make more millions at.

  Call your Congresspeople today and tell them you don't want this tax. The numbers are: 202 225-3121 or 202 224-3121. I've been trying to get through all day. It's been busy and Verizon has been saying the number is no good. I'm just figuring that so many people are calling at once.

  The post said IN ENGLAND IF YOU'RE 59 OR OLDER, YOU CAN'T GET A HEART STINT OR BYPASS. It hasn't posted yet. Do the moderators come in on Monday and then let the posts through. It said it was flagged.

  I'm figuring the Obama gang doesn't want Americans to know that in England they don't take care of your heart if you're 59 and over. That would look bad for Universal Health Care, which is government run and government paid for health care.

  In England anyone over 59 cannot receive heart repairs or stents or bypass.

  Is this the type of health care we want in America?

  Celebrities make lots of money. Obama should be assigning a Salary Czar for all celebrities. Oprah makes a lot of money. Obama should assign a Salary Czar to Oprah and Barbra Streisand and all the other Hollywoods that make a ton of money.

  If Obama wants CEOs to stop making a lot of money, why doesn't Obama want Oprah to stop making a lot of money? Obama should also be assigning a Bill Gates Salary Czar.

  I am not into capping anyone's salary. That should be left up to the market. But since Obama believes in the Socialist way of capping salaries, then he should cap Union leaders' salaries and also Congress' salaries and all federal politicians' salaries. He should not ONLY cap CEO salaries.

  It's been great talking with you all and hearing what everyone has to say. I won't be back except maybe to check in once in awhile and see what's going on. But I'm spending too much time here because I enjoy it and it's time to get back to my life.

  Take care, everyone, and God bless us all, even those that don't want it. :)

  If I've been chatting with you and you want to continue our discussion, here's an email that I don't mind having to dispose of it I get a million emails that I don't want. SoCaDeb@aol.com Please just those that I've been chatting with are invited to email. I would appreciate that. :)

  Is it just me? I'm not overly computer smart, but I'm having a difficult time navigating this site.

  When I leave for a few hours, I come back and I don't know which topics I've been involved in because there's so many new ones that appeared while I was gone. I then find myself going there every topic finding conversations that I was involved in with others.

  Also it appears that after a several-hour period the topics that were like from yesterday are so many pages back that they are no longer of interest to people, but if you put up the topic again it really is justifed as being a duplicate.

  Can someone tell me an easier way to navigate this or is this just how it is?

  I would appreciate your comments.

  Obama and his wife and family seem to be taking a lot of vacation time. How do we as taxpayers have all of this extra money for the Obamas to be vacationing, sightseeing and having date night at taxpayer expense?

  The Obamas should be cutting back just like the rest of us are.

  I'd like to know why all of a sudden we have all of this money to hire all of these people appointed by Obama. Each of these appointments needs a staff. It becomse a huge proposition. It's not just the pay for the person appointed by Obama; it's the cost of the entire staffing.

  Politician's should have the same medical package and social security package as the rest of us.

  Can you believe this? How can people stand this?

  I don't want anyone from the government telling private industry how much they should be paid. That is a business decision that should be based on what the market will bear and profits.

  Obama said his stimulus package had to pass "right away" so that the unemployment rate wouldn't reach 8 percent by May. Well, i

  ACORN and the 300 or so companies that are listed as part of that funeral parlor in New Orleans should all be investigated as far as the money they've received from taxpayers. What should be addressed is how much they all received and where that money has gone to.

  ACORN and those 300 companies should be investigated to see how they all are intertwined with each other.

  ACORN should be questioned as to why they allowed the brother of the man who started ACORN to embezzle one million dollars and never had him prosecuted.

  ACORN should be investigated for paying people for individual signatures in registering to vote when that is illegal in the State of Nevada.

  Since I've been asking this question on the board, I've been accused of being a knuckle dragger, a wingnut and a kook. I am not a knuckle dragger, nor a wingnut, nor a kook. I'm a person with an honest question wanting to know why the President of the United States does not show his birth certificate.

  I'm planning on giving President Obama the same level of respect that the Democrats gave to President Bush and Governor Palin.

  This does not appear to be a difficult request. All Americans should be demanding this, whether you are Democrat or Republican or other.

  When Obama was at Occidental College, I bet he put on his admission papaers that he is a resident of Indonesia, and that's why he's blocking those papaers from being shown.

  There has got to be a reason that President Obama will not show his birth certificate, and I'm making the assumption it is not a good reason.

  I'm also figuring that on Obama's school records in the past he's put on the forms that he was a resident of some other country -- I'm figuring Kenya and/or Indonesia -- because he wanted to receive money from the US Government. That is why President Obama doesn't want his previous school records revealed.

  I'm looking forward to the day when the majority of Americans are disgusted with Obama which will then make the mainstream media do their jobs properly and become journalists again and also when the Clintons will stop taking a back seat and start revealing what they know. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but have you noticed how the Clintons are sitting back quietly? Obama has put them in their place and they have to stay quiet......until the country starts seeing the fake Obama.

  I feel that President Obama should make available to everyone his birth certificate and also the previous documents that he's filled out earlier in his life in order to get in certain schools that would indicate which country President Obama felt he was a resident of.

  I don't understand the non-transparency of not showing documents. These documents should be available to everyone if President Obama wants to be the president that has the most transparancy.
