Something for the "Buckeyes" TO DO......

Either copy and send, or send this blog to someone in Ohio. Good reading for ANY citizen, it actually applies to everyone.

Dear Senators Brown and Portman,

As you know, our nation is experiencing its most trying economic times since the Great Depression. Twenty million Americans are having trouble finding jobs and putting food on the table, many right here in Ohio. That's why I was so confounded to recently hear that President Obama's bypassed Congress to unilaterally award amnesty and work permits to 2-3 million illegal aliens.

His unprecedented abuse of executive privilege will make it harder for people right here in Ohio to find jobs. Recent college grads can't find jobs. Immigrants who settled here last year can't find jobs. So, why would the President want to make it easier for people here illegally to take American jobs? Why would we reward lawbreakers and incentivize more illegal immigration? The answer is simple and predictable: It's election year politics at its worst.

The United States gives new work permits to 1.5 million immigrants and other foreign workers each year--not including the illegal aliens. When our nation is trillions in debt and has a shortage of millions of jobs, there is simply no way to justify these numbers. Taxpayers end up subsidizing the Americans who lose their jobs because of immigration.

It has been said that during bad times, 'we the people' find out what kind of leaders we've elected. Here's your chance to show us your leadership skills. Please, take immediate action to repeal President Obama's amnesty and work permits for millions of illegal aliens. Unemployed Americans desperately need jobs, and they're depending on you.

Obama’s Five Trillion Dollar Lie


Why isn't the U.S. economy in a depression right now?  

The number one reason is because the federal government has stolen more than five trillion dollars from future generations since Barack Obama was elected and has used that money to pump up our grossly inflated standard of living.

Whether the federal government spends money wisely or foolishly, the truth is that the vast majority of it still ends up in the pockets of the American people who then use it to buy the things they need for their daily lives.

If the U.S. government had not borrowed and spent an extra five trillion dollars that we did not have over the past several years, we would be in the middle of a rip-roaring economic depression right now.  So any talk that Barack Obama is “improving the economy” is a total farce.  It is a five trillion dollar lie.

The reality is that Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have been stealing trillions of dollars from future generations in order to make things tolerable in the present.  If the federal government adopted a balanced budget next year, the debt-fueled prosperity that we are currently enjoying would start disappearing very rapidly and all hell would break loose in America.

At this point, the U.S. national debt is over 15.7 trillion dollars.


When Ronald Reagan took office it was less than a trillion dollars.

If you were to divide the national debt up equally, it would come to more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

See that sparkle? It could be the caffeine

For many of us, coffee is the first thought of the day. Just thinking about it gives us the buzz, the energy and the power to ask ourselves the next question, do I make it at home or shell out another $4 at the local Starbucks as I race to work?

Well, you may decide to do both if you've seen new research that suggests women who drink more than one cup a day may decrease their risk of depression.

The more coffee women drink, the greater we reduce our risk of depression, according to the study. And since one in five women are diagnosed with depression at some point in life, it may be worth contemplating that double shot of espresso.

A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine finds women who drank two to three cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of depression by 15 percent, compared to women who consumed only one cup or less per week.

Those who drank about one cup of coffee per day also reduced their depression risk, although not by nearly as much

This is Depressing .............

I got an email from MedHelp, caught my attention, listed the 15 Warning Signs of Depression.

Change in appetite and weight
Low energy
Trouble focusing
Apathy
Detaching from friends
Sleep
Irritability
Sadness
Feelings of Worthlessness
Suicidal Tendencies
Recklessness
Alcohol Abuse
Low Sex Drive
Pain
Prescription Drug Abuse

WOW, I am depressed and didn't know it. I don't have them all, but I see a lot of those tendencies in people around me, they must be depressed worse than I am.

Great idea for a Third Political Party, The Depression Party. If you have one or more of these symptoms, become a member of the Depression Party. I figure that with 99% of the vote we will win, hands down. Will be one heck of a Convention though. Most of those in office now will jump over to our side.

VOTE DEPRESSION - EVERYONE HAS SOME

And if you don't like our politics - APATHY - no one cares.
