Nomad News - Volume 1 - No. 24

I'm trying something different. Instead of e-mailing my Nomad News to everyone I will be posting them on this Blog that took me days to figure out how to set it up and just navigate a little. There is plenty still to be learned to get the most out of the site. I will send an e-mail to everyone advising them when a new blog has been posted and then you can leave comments if you wish.

POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON (This is a repeat from Nomad News No. 23. but there was a typo errror so wanted to be sure everyone understood) And, I kinda like it anyway and have a bumper sticker on my truck.

GLENN BECK: Reasonable questions for unreasonable times!
During the week of August 24 and on four different days, Glenn Beck offered a series of questions we could use when writing our elected representatives. Following is group from Day One:
- Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red ink?
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
- If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?
- Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them. How exactly does that work?
- Why won't members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
- Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones' radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill. Why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
- If politicians aren't writing the bills and aren't reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on theAmerican people?
- If the 'public option' health care plan is so good why won't politicians agree to have that as their plan?
-If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what's on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
- Politicins are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn't come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?
- What are czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices"
And my personal addition: What part of NO! don't you understand.
