She has been found guilty of violation of the public trust and has broken the law. Yet no one is reporting this. What is going on in our media. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU35RWpolhA

He knew of the investigation prior to choosing her as his running mate. He also knew her history with ear marks of 27 million. See the video for the complete report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU35RWpolhA

I have decided to support him this coming election. My decision is based on the issues and his leadership abilities. To me, he is clearly the most qualified candidate. But, I wonder will the black thing or his colorful name get in the way with middle America.

I couldn't believe my ears.

Letter from Shuang Shuying's husband, Hua Zaichen,

to Human Rights in China

July 28, 2008

[Human Rights in China translation]

As China prepares to host the Olympic games, I've reached the age of 90,[11] and my 78-year-old wife, Shuang Shuying, has been sentenced to jail. She is the oldest inmate at Beijing Women's Prison. She is almost completely blind in both eyes due to the abuse that she has endured. Throughout her life she has suffered extensively at the hands of the CPC because of me, her husband, Hua Zaichen. Her life up to now has been one of vagrant wandering, with no place to call home.

I turned 90 this year. I've witnessed the great transformation China has undergone over this past century. My wife Shuang Shuying and I together have experienced 59 years of political hardship under the CPC regime. In 1956, I was deemed a "counterrevolutionary" and held in custody for a full twenty years. During this difficult time, it was my wife who gave me courage and raised our four children on her own.

Shuang Shuying and our son Hua Huiqi are Christians and members of a house church, which is not tolerated by the CPC regime. In 2002, the government tore down our home; not only did we not receive any compensation, but we were also not allowed to rent an apartment. In February 2007, Shuang Shuying was arrested and sentenced to two years in prison. In October 2007, our simple home also became a prison as a lock was welded onto the outside of our door and our electricity and water were cut off. Six policemen sat in our home and forbade us to leave. Hua Huiqi was beaten so badly that he had to be hospitalized.

On July 2, 2008, the police again forced our door open with an 18 pound iron hammer. Hua Huiqi's wife Wei Jumei and my elder son Hua Huilin were badly beaten. We were tossed into the street. I lay on the ground, wet with rain from that evening, huddled in my quilt. I waited for dawn, hoping that China's dawn would come more quickly.

My time left here is not long. I wish only to see my wife Shuang Shuying one last time. I want only to understand one thing: is it really a crime in China to welcome Christians into your home?

Our human rights situation is worsening here in Beijing, during China's so-called "Human Rights Olympics." We hope that the international community will pay attention to China's human rights situation.

I am just awazed at the lack of concern for the atrocities of this government. 1.5 million people have been evicted from their homes, with most receiving no compensation and some who protested being beaten and jailed. My goodness, China is the next super power. It's like putting a monster in charge. I am worried because it seems that there is not a lot of protest out there for this type of behavior.

George W. was quoted this morning stating "This money is going to allow Americans to offset the high prices we're seeing at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and will also give our economy a boost to help us pull out of this economic slowdown,"

I am absolutely shocked by this. Please research this if you are pregnant or have a baby who uses bottles. Where was the FDA when we needed them to be paying attention.

Unfortunately, most plastic baby bottles and drinking cups are made with plastics containing Bisphenol A. In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3 containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown's in Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles.

I found a way to opt out of a lot of it on earth day. I am looking forward to receiving a lot less junk. Try it. The world could use a lot less junk mail. Apparently this is the company that owns all of the mailing lists and you can ask them to selectively remove you from lists. I can't wait to reap the benefits.

It does bother me that it appears that with money and connections your children can break laws habitually and always receive special consideration. Where at the news at times shows me that the poorest kids are beaten and jailed and sometimes killed for the smallest of infractions.

What has happened to justice? Has it evolved into only the wealthy who can afford the best legal representation receive the best treatment?

I'm looking for a friend that collects them. Thanks

I have a set of Lenox flatware that over the years has had pieces lost. Probably kids throwing away my forks, etc. Where can I buy add on pieces without breaking the bank?

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,

I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.

My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,

My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,

Transforming the yard to a winter delight.

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,

Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,

Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.

In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,

So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,

But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.

Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the

sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,

And I crept to the door just to see who was near.

Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,

A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,

Information on school safety?

Where can I get data on school safety issues and whether they are on the rise. I'm interested in thefts, drug use and violence and what the schools and the police are doing about it.

Were you charged late fees that were unfounded? Was your rate increased unfairly?

A new federal study shows one third of active credit card holders were charged a late fee without just reason in the past year.

If this has happened to you, write to your representative about this. Congress needs to hear testimonials.

Since I'm not chasing my grandchildren everyday anymore, I'm getting pudgy and tire too easily. I also think a bit of exercise would make me feel better. But, I have never liked exercise and have hesitated my whole life when it came to gyms, workout videos, etc. What groups or activities should I seek out that I would enjoy?
