The Bus That Can't
As everyone knows that has picked up any news in the last few days, our illegal lying president has been out on the road using two buses at a cost of 1.25 million a piece to campaign illegally. He's out telling the same lies about everything from the economy to health care that he was lying about 3 years ago. The irony is he's preaching what he's going to do for unemployment - right a man is known by his actions, so he gets 2 buses built in Canada to help out US unemployment. Wow, I'm missing something here, I guess it was the class in community organizing 101 that I missed that would have made me an unemployment genius.
The difference between my stupidity and the "B" fellow in OUR White House is:
I'll show you my birth certificate
I'll show you my high school diploma and university degree
I'll show you my one and only Social Security Number
I'll show you my military record
I'll show you my employment record as an entrepreneur
I'll show you just about anything else vital you'd like to see and be more than happy to show that piece of crap in OUR White House a "Moon Shot" let me know when I can do that!
Oh, and from that ugly arrogant thing that doesn't deserve the title of "first lady" she sends her pagan thanks for her tax paid vacation she's on, by the way how many vacations does the Kenyan get in one year.
Are you tired of supporting a foreign government in Washington D.C.? If so, then get off your butts and do something about it! March in D.C. Sept 17, call and drive your state and federal representatives crazy, demand the truth about "the first black president", demand our rights be returned as One Nation Under God, finally pray because it is going to get physically worse before it gets better.

Transaction Tax?
Come on you gotta be kidding, aren't they.
Well you know ObamaShamCare has to be funded so now they - Congress and your administration want a 1% fee on every bank transaction you do or your business does. Surely you've heard about this and if by now you haven't then Google it or whatever and there it is. If this doesn't p.y.o. then yo mama wears combat boots!
What is it going to take to wake the citizens and voters up to the scum in the White House and in Congress, like whores all they care about is getting in our pockets and taking our money, one way or another.
Let me know if you are as upset as I am and what is the one thing that makes you the absolute most p.o. Come surely you can think of at least one thing that Hussein does that upsets you, let me know.

Now NOT Tomorrow
In 40 plus years of loving, following, participating and reporting the news I have never seen an administration like this. With no regard for the constitution Obama and his Czars continue to improve upon "the tail wagging the dog". Obama is the tail which is very close to another part of the dog's anatomy and he is "for now" doing a very good job of wagging the dog - US.
We are hearing all the rhetoric of we're going to take it back in November, show how strong we are in November and on and on, I hope it is true. My problem is very simply voter turnout.
Did you vote in your primary and runoff? If you did then read no further, go have a drink.
But if you didn't vote in your primary are you even registered to vote? I'm at the point with folks if they don't register and then can't vote I believe they, and maybe I'm writing to you, they or you are committing a sin. I'm not really going to put myself in or even say I'm judging but it is my personal belief that what is going on today in our Congress and Our White House is sinful and is even a bigger sin if we don't vote them OUT!
It is my belief if "We The People" let this continue God is in His wonderful way is speaking and sending us the message loud and clear, I gave you a chance, and I'm giving you one last chance by voting these people out of office and to take back "One Nation Under God". And, if you don't do it by voting our Master will speak again and let us know it is Over.
Please register to vote, canvas your neighborhood for people to register and then vote in November and help take back your nation with the blessing of our Almighty God.
Thank you,
Until

What's a Person to Do?
Can one person make a difference? Well us'n that sort of keep up with things know good and well that one person can make a difference from the good Samaritan, the one vote, the hero in war, every Medal of Honor Recipient, and the list goes on. Damn straight one person - maybe you - can make the difference.
Cyndy Miller is a good example of making a difference by having a letter published on the web that she sent AARP a year ago pointing out how she and her husband could no longer be members of an organization that supported ObamaCare, rationing of health care, and that would ultimately take from our Medicare that we've paid into. One person express their opinion and that letter has circulated around-the-world and continues on causing people to think about their membership in AARP and other organizations that lie to get our dollars. So, yes one person can make a big difference and we'd like to talk to someone you know that has made or is making a big difference in any occupation or in our daily lives. Please send me david@americaswebradio.com the information on how to contact your person that has or is making a difference. And, don't forget to register to vote, take a buddy and then vote the bums out in November!
Mean while we've got some great programming today with The Immigration Hour, Bella Petite, Detailing Addiction, Do Facts Matter, The Fog and many more of your favorites. Please tune in when you can www.americaswebradio.com and tell a friend about your discovery of a great programmed live and podcast radio station that believes like you do.
Have a good day and,

Time to Circle Our Wagons Inside Out?
What would our settlers do? Well, I've - we've seen many times, or at least when they were popular on that new thing called TV, when just about to be under attack the settlers always lead by a handsome cowboy would Circle the Wagons and get prepared to fight.
Folks it is time to Circle the Wagons!
Let's see from the outside we have Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran which in turn supports the terrorist and don't forget our open borders that are letting everyone in to get "FREE". These I consider extremely serious but even more serious is how do we Circle the Wagons "Inside Out"? Now what in the world does that mean?
Well even more serious than what's on the outside trying to destroy us but what is on the inside and IS destroying us. Oh let's see we've now got "home grown" terrorist that have been given the most wonderful place in the world to grow up and they want to destroy for future generations, that certainly makes a lot of sense. Then we have a group of "Blacks" that have still not figured it out and all they want is civil unrest. I'm sorry this is NOT a race thing it is a group of folks that don't want to work or prosper in this country they just want to cause problems and if they'd open their eyes and look around there are more Black Americans that share my opinion than theirs. The opportunity for now is here, take advantage of it fool and realize that there is no "FREE Ride" for anyone.
OK so we got home grown terrorist, civil unrest blacks, we have illegals coming in by untold numbers but what we are slowly waking up to is the terrible fact that those that most want to destroy us and are forcing us to Circle the Wagons Inside Out is our elected officials! Frankly we're a broke "monetarily" country and I don't know how we can fight from both sides of the "wagon", but we must!
We have a weak, rubber stamp Congress right now and I can only hope it will change IF people register to vote then vote them out in November. And, we have a narcissistic monster in OUR White House surrounded by Marxist hell bent on destroying our economy, education and health care system. And, if you haven't noticed they're doing a good job of doing just that. I don't believe in continual coincidences and since this administration took power that's all we've had. From supposed gas peddles to convenient oil platform accident and many more all while a sick person is in Our White House and won't even disclose his place of birth or provide his college records. Spending now over two million dollars to hide records that most of us will gladly show anyone.
While our economy is about to collapse the family residing in Our White House can take more vacations at taxpayers expense than anyone before them AND do less work while on these vacations. When was the last time you and yours had Oh say, a $200,000 wedding anniversary at taxpayer's expense?
So, how do we fight from both sides of the wagon? I guess we all become Congress People and talk (or fight) from both sides of our mouths. Actually the answer is we first pray for Our country and then we register to vote and vote. While at the same time continue to EXPRESS yourself, your hurts, your needs, your concerns and your love for this country.
And, if you need a booster shot to remain focused take a look at your children and your grandchildren. Because if action isn't taken and taken now you and I can't blame "Bush" or anyone else for stealing the future from the ones we love.
Thanks for your time.
PS I've been accused of racist for using the term OUR White House well it is Our White House, Our Constitution, Our Government and WE THE PEOPLE are only loaning OUR great treasurers to these folks and they obviously don't appreciate it nor do they realize they are suppose to be working for us. So, if that is racist so be it!

What Is In The Swine H1N1 Flu Vaccine: A Primer
By Elaina George, MD
There has been a lot of confusion about what ingredients are in the H1N1 Vaccine. In order to distill the information to make it easier for you to make an informed choice, here is a brief synopsis of the information provided by the manufacturers in their package inserts.
There are 4 manufactures who have been approved to sell H1N1 vaccine in the US. They are: Novartis, CSL, Sanofi/Pasteur and MedImmune
1. Novartis makes an injectable vaccine for ages 4 and above
Ingredients: Thimerosal (Mercury) both in the single dose and the multi dose vials
Antibiotics - polymyxin and neomycin (can be neurotoxic)
Manufactured with phenol (the chemical used on skin in cosmetic face peals to remove wrinkles)
Note: They recommend that children ages 4-9 get 2 injections one month apart. This would increase the risk from a reaction to the mercury (e.g, neurological damage such as Gullain-Barre or possibly Autism)
2. CSL makes an injectable vaccine. Only the multi dose vial contains thimerosal
3. Sanofi/Pasteur - Only the multi dose vial contains thimerosal
vaccine is made with polyethelene glycol (antifreeze) and formaldehyde (a chemical used in embalming).
*These three vaccines are grown in chicken embryo cells. So if a person has severe allergies to eggs, they are at risk of having an allergic reaction and should therefore not take the vaccine.
4. MedImmune makes a live attenuated H1N1 vaccine that has an intranasal delivery.
It does not contain thimerosal, but has the food additive MSG (monosodium glutamate) which can cause reactions in some people who are sensitive, it also contains gentamycin (an antibiotic which can be neurotoxic and cause hearing loss)
As per the package inserts from all of the manufacturers:
Note: "Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Neither FLUVIRIN nor the Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine have been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility."
*In other words, NONE of the H1NI vaccines have been evaluated for the possible potential to cause cancer, birth defects or its effect on fertility. This is according to the information from all of the manufacturers.

Is Voting Our Only Weapon?
The elections of 2010 seem so far away at the moment as the ONLY way to literally clean the "HOUSE" and one third of the Senate. We're a year and two plus months from using our last weapon, the vote, to get rid of what's going on in Washington and I'm afraid it may be to little too late. Considering the fact that OUR legal vote may in reality be diluted by the votes of millions of illegal aliens that will vote even though that have NO right. Then again they had no right to come into OUR country, did they? So I've been thinking and sending friends emails, because I think my friends are smarter than I am or maybe they have friends that are smarter than we are, asking what can we do now?
Besides emails and the like I've been doing a lot of thinking and we all realize we're up against the most perverted, narcissistic, smooth, crafty, lying and sick socialist to ever be in OUR White House. He and his sick followers and advisers want to destroy us, and OUR country and they're doing a pretty good job of it rapidly from the economy to heath care and even trying to recruit our children, this must be stopped. With this all said I have concluded and it's really not brilliant that the ONLY thing we can do is exactly what I'm doing but, we must not just talk between like minded we must recruit from the left, the ones on the fence and those to lazy to care.
We must not just keep stirring the pot, we must keep the pot boiling for 14 months. We must go after every thing and supporting everyone and every institution that sees and is willing to point out what a travesty of government we have at this writing. Talk to your neighbors, your friends, your co-workers and even if they're totally on the other side plant the seed of "questioning". We must keep asking questions like do you want your grand kids to be paying for the mistakes we made in 2008, 2009, 2010? Why do we need a government run health care plan for 15% of our population? Have you really listened to someone from Canada explain their health care plan, and oh ask a Canadian how he or she enjoys paying 50% in taxes? Keep asking the moderate liberals questions. Liberals seem to "know it all" so ask the question and be sure they give a REAL answer not just a dodge.
Keep the pot "Boiling" with blogs, emails, questions to media, questions, questions, questions until 2010, then vote the liberal garbage out of office. Oh, please take Pelosi, Rengal and the rest all in one day! VOTE
By the way enough heat got rid of at least one CZAR (Van Jones) let's go after the rest!

What's It Coming To Obama?
Maybe I'm wrong but I haven't been so far, even going back well before the election of Obama. I said then and I'll say now his group of friends and advisers will stoop as far as necessary to get what they want, proof in the pudding, Chicago. In fact how did he get to be president without credentials?
Thank God I no longer have children in public school as Obama is now trying to use them in his agenda to control all minds. Between Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Boxer and the rest of the extreme liberals we have a real problem and I hope you recognize it as do so many others now.
I was asked the other day would I prefer a corrupt business like an Enron or have government control and the answer was clear. I'll take a corrupt few individuals in a capitalistic society over government control any day. At least if we find a business corrupt we have, at least today, a means of laws to go after them. But, if it is government corruption and we've seen that too, where do we turn? Absolutely NO options or recourse with a government controlled entity, I wonder how good your GM warranty is going to be? Is it the GMObama warranty, he lies about everything else why not your auto warranty?
Taxes - if you're a democrat and chair of the House Ways and Means Committee you don't have to pay taxes until caught and then no penalties, makes me want to run for Congress. Or, if you say white folk are blowing bad smoke at blacks and declare yourself a communist like Van Jones then you get the right to blow in Obama's ear. YUK!
Heard the term "Hell in a hat basket" does it fit anything today? Means we have to really make a change, clean HOUSE/Senate and get responsible representation, not what we have. Again I say, ask your representative to sign a pledge to live under same rules, laws and policies they want us to live under; health care and Social Security for starters!
New shows on www.radiosandysprings.com and www.americaswebradio.com like the Sheep and Goat Radio Show with Ray Bowman, new health show, new petite women's show, new business show and more for your listening pleasure, now there's an old line.

It's Your Health!
6 Ways Your Health Insurance Company Makes It Hard For Your Doctor To Take Care Of You
By: Dr. Elaina George
There is a major misconception about the reasons for the rise in the cost of healthcare. Procedures and the practice of defensive medicine have been described as the main reasons for the exponential rise. However, the reality could not be farther from what is portrayed on TV series like Nip/Tuck. The medical insurance industry has fueled the campaign of misinformation to enhance their divide and conquer strategy. As long as people spend their energy on blaming doctors, they have less energy to pay attention to rising deductibles, premiums and co-insurance. In short, the insurance companies benefit by keeping doctors and patients at odds. In reality when a doctor charges for a procedure or performs a surgery what is paid is no where near the amount that was charged. In short, the increase in patient premiums, deductibles etc… have gone to pay administrative costs and CEO salaries.
These are 6 things you need to know so you can understand the barriers your doctor has to navigate to take good care of you:
- Insurance companies change what they will pay for
Through the pre-certification process, insurance companies will change what services they will reimburse. This list can change yearly. It is driven by insurance company costs and not by medical necessity as determined by the doctor and the patient.
- Insurance companies have gatekeepers that look for reasons to deny recommended services
Insurance companies have physicians and/or nurses on staff that can deny services. The person that reviews the procedure may not even be someone familiar with the medical procedure (for example, a psychiatrist reviewing the records of a surgeon).
- Insurance gatekeepers get bonus compensation when they save the company money
This is pretty self explanatory – it pays to deny care.
- Insurance companies discount payments for surgery and other procedures.
This is a process called bundling. If the procedure has a left and right side like knee surgery or has several steps. like sinus surgery, the surgeon will be paid a steeply discounted rate that can be as high as an 80% discount. For example, a surgeon will be paid the discounted insurance allowed amount for the 1st side and 50% for the second side. If it is a multi-step procedure, the surgeon will be paid the allowed amount for the 1st step, 50% for the second step and 25% for 3-5th step then nothing for anything beyond the 5th step.
5. Insurance companies make a bigger profit by delaying payment to doctors
A study showed that an insurance company can make as much as $84,000 in bank interest rates each day they pay
a claim late. By law an average clean claim (with no errors) should be paid from 14-30 days after it is submitted
by a doctor’s office. The average claim is paid anywhere from 30-45 days. Some claims, after multiple appeals,
can take up to a year to be paid after the service was given.
6. Insurance companies can ask the doctor for reimbursement of paid claims indefinitely.
A doctor has 120 days to submit a claim, after that time he/she may not submit a charge or charge the patient. However, an insurance company can ask for reimbursement with no time limit.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling . . .
Rawhide, the buses are rolling towards D.C. and there is going to be some rawhide after they arrive. In my adult life I have not seen anything like this and believe it could possibly be the turning point in our country, amazing.
Jimmy Carter was no winner, and folks expressed their opinions but the two parties did not come together against a common cause like they're doing now. Oh, you have the "yellow dog demos" that are standing by their man but what I'm seeing and hearing is Americans coming together and there is no party, they don't like any elected official on either side of the fence.
Just let me remind you what this is all about, the country elected a person and organization that thinks they can handle your affairs better than you. So, quite possibly an unqualified person resides in your White House, making up rules (czars) and getting bills passed that finally got your attention when the Stimulus (TAX) hit you in one place that it counts your wallet and if that wasn't enough then he hits you with a stupid health plan that will increase taxes and give you poor service and this is to take care of 15% of the population of which a large portion don't want or don't deserve your dollars for their care!!!
I support and I hope it is we support the DC Tea Party and on today is Coach Dave Daubenmire from Ohio that is in the news just trying to get his US Representative to have a Town Hall Meeting and the cowardly Rep Zack Space won't do it. I wonder if this Space cadet will do as we ask and take the health care plan and Social Security? My suggestion is to vote Space right out of office as soon as possible. Let Zack Space go talk to himself!

Jimmy Carter was no winner, and folks expressed their opinions but the two parties did not come together against a common cause like they're doing now. Oh, you have the "yellow dog demos" that are standing by their man but what I'm seeing and hearing is Americans coming together and there is no party, they don't like any elected official on either side of the fence.

Gutting the CIA
When E.D. Hill gets upset then one knows a raw nerve has been hit. And, that's exactly what we discussed yesterday on Good Morning with E.D. Hill on www.americaswebradio.com.
Ridiculous, crazy and those were the mild words and thoughts of the audacity of the Attorney General Holden (the socialist) to form a new "group" to interrogate terrorist in detention. BS the administration might as well send our men and women in the CIA out with pistol with no bullets. How STUPID is this and how long can we let these kind of actions go on? This administration has telegraphed all enemies of OUR country that if you're a terrorist or terrorist country YOU NOW HAVE A FRIEND IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Folks we must start right this minute to STAY in touch with our representatives and make sure they understand that it is OUR country and we want it protected at ALL cost and if it means scaring the hell out of captured terrorist then do it. And, let the folks that KNOW how to do it, do their jobs. Does anyone with a partial brain, including our socialist leaning administration, think that these "Sweetheart terrorist" would think twice about real torture, say like cutting off your head in front of cameras? Come on folks we must stand up, get real, and get rid of this administration and the "Freedom Give Away Party-Obama, Reid & Pelosi" that in just eight short months has us in a deficit position of NINE TRILLION dollars and now laughed at throughout the world.
God Bless the folks that are going to the D.C. Tea Party in a couple of weeks. We will have a reporter at the Tea Party giving us live updates on www.radiosandysprings.com and www.americaswebradio.com.
Please copy and pass on, we must save our country from the radical left. The things that we know about are crazy and scare me. How crazy and dangerous are the things the administration "CZARS" are doing that we don't know about?
HELP!

Get Sick Read Health Care Bill
We've all heard of a "crock" well here it is http://www.thefoxnation.com/health-care-bill/2009/08/13/shocked-read-what-heath-care-bill-actually-says
This is from FOX and it "is what it is" a CROCK and OUR congresspersons wrote this BS that first is so misleading, hard to read, and with so many hidden or "to be interpreted" sentences it makes it unbelievable. How can we keep any of OUR "so called" representatives? They sure don't seem to represent me and I doubt you.
WE the PEOPLE must get representatives that will live under the same laws, rules and policies that they want us to. There is NO one in any public office that would want this "CROCK" of health care plan and have to live with it OR maybe I should say DIE with it. You're not going to see my representative begging to go under this plan but he'll say it's good enough for you, me and our families. I say if a person running for public office, particularly federal, won't sign a pledge to eat off the same plate they want to serve us then WE should NOT support the hypocrite. Do you honestly think Pelosi or Reed would stoup so low as to go under this so called health care plan?
Please ONLY support the candidate that will pledge to live like you and me!
These are the views of Radio Sandy Springs and America's Web Radio we invite you to comment AFTER you've read the bill.

Health Care - More to Talk About
The health care debate has morphed into open season on doctors
By Dr. Elaina George, M.D.
When I read that the president had met with CEOs and other top representatives of the largest health insurance companies, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies before healthcare reform was crafted by Congress, I had my doubts about the direction of health care reform confirmed.
I already had reservations about whether we would get true reform when the very members of Congress who were tasked to lead the crafting of the bill had received hundreds of thousand of dollars from the very entities that were the major cause of the problem - the health insurance industry, big PhRMA, and for profit hospitals.
No wonder we have been seeing commercials sponsored by big PhRMA in support of the current health reform bill. It appears it is quid pro quo for the administration's deal to cap their concessions at 80 billion dollars over 10 years. NY Times Article
If I were a drug company executive or stockholder, I would be happy to support a bill that keeps the government from importing cheaper medication from
The health insurance companies who also support the healthcare reforms proposed by the President also stand to gain. Although they did not promise to make any concessions, they benefit by receiving more people to pay premiums since there is a mandate that everyone carry insurance (public or private) or face monetary sanctions. Market forces will draw people who are sicker and don't have the economic means to the public option leaving private insurance companies with members who are younger, healthier and have the ability to pay the premiums.
The argument that the public option will drive down costs is disingenuous - how can a program designed to cover about 10 million people (as per the Congressional Budget Office) really exert any pressure on the health insurance industry when a company like Blue Cross and Blue Shield has over 30 million members and United Healthcare is even larger? Even the President's health adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel admits that although small insurance companies would likely go out of business, those private insurance companies left standing would support a reform plan that would bring "45 million new paying customers to the industry".
Hospitals have been given a pass. There has been no discussion on cutting the costs associated with hospital care. I have performed surgeries that where the hospital was paid 20-30 times what I have been paid. Is that fair? The hospital makes a profit on every item charged (e.g., per aspirin given, per IV placed or per box of tissue). It is this practice that has led to the astronomical costs and the prevalence of health care related bankruptcies. Initially there was talk of changing payments to a system where the payments could be bundled, but that has disappeared.
The physicians and other healthcare providers on the front line who actually deliver care have been demonized as the cause of health care costs run amuck. That is simply not true. The fact is no physician can just order test after test. Each time a test is ordered or a surgery is recommended, there has to be a medical indication for it. Furthermore, the test or surgery requested must be pre-certified by the insurance company after patient records are submitted. There are medical indications and standards of care put in place by a medical or surgical board for whether a test or surgery should be performed. This is in addition to the pre-certification process of the insurance company. The reality is insurance companies have routinely superseded this and have denied care that is medically indicated to save money and boost their profits.
My question still remains unanswered. How can a reform bill that clearly serves the interests of the health insurance companies, big PhRMA and for profit hospitals possibly be a good thing for patients or doctors?

TGIF It's NOT
Is it just me or today is everyone living for Friday and the weekend to get away from all that seems to go on during the week? I'm not real happy for Mondays other than being alive and I can't wait for Friday afternoons even though we work on Saturday too. Not real sure I'd know what to do with a two day weekend but I bet the yard would give me a clue.
Saturdays on America's Web Radio and Radio Sandy Springs starts with the Classic Car Show, followed by Backyard Poultry, America's Home Grown Veggies, and the Master Gardeners Hour all great, informative and fun shows. So, tune in to www.radiosandysprings.com or www.americaswebradio.com and tell everyone you know to do the same!
The few minutes I got out of the box and watched the box confirmed again how we live in troubled times. What did the administration give up to get the two reporters(?) out of North Korea? Speaking of that, where is all the transparency promised during the campaign. It seems to me and I have very limited knowledge but there is more covering up and lying going on today by the administration and Congress than ever before, by ALL parties.
Lastly, and I will for lack of better words BEG you to start preaching the idea that we should not vote for ANYONE that does not pledge in writing during the coming campaigns to represent us and live under the same rules we do i.e. Social Security, Health Care, and taxes!

A Shame of Response
Well this will probably do it but quite frankly after posting the Devils in the Details last week I would have thought 100s would have said something but, the fact of the matter is only one close friend took that "Blog" and ran with it. He sent it to his entire personal and business email list and I don't know where else.
When our own elected officials are trying every way possible to do us in we should respond and all I have seen is "I'll let the other guy respond". That's what's wrong with today we're all waiting on the other guy to respond. I must admit I believe totally in the "Tea Party" and Fair Tax. I didn't go to the rally in Atlanta because frankly I was too tired. My 15 to 18 hour days 7 days a week just about do me in. But, with what's going on in Washington I will fight daily to try and get people's attention. Yes, I know I'm nothing compared to a Beck or many others but, this is a way to at least relieve some of the frustrations I feel and you that read my blog feel also.
Chevez shuts down 38 radio station because he doesn't like what they say because they oppose him. Could it happen in the US? I think it could at any time and will obviously start with the anti-Obama talk stations, mark my word they'll try.
Again I say, there is only one way to stop the craziness in Washington DC and that's to get rid of them all by voting starting in 2010. If folks running for office won't pledge and sign to live like we do with Social Security, health care, paying taxes and more then THEY should not be OUR elected officials. ONLY vote for and elect representatives that will live like we do!
