		<description>Dear Friends,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The global, human-induced predicament visible in our time to the family of humanity makes one thing clear: people with eyes to see, ears to hear and no speech impediments have got to speak out loudly, clearly and often now. Silence, the greatest power the rich and powerful possess, cannot be allowed to prevail. The reckless way a few people with wealth and power maintain a &quot;golden&quot; silence, one that protects their greed, gluttony and hoarding, is dangerous and cannot longer be endured because a good enough future for our children and coming generations is being mortgaged and threatened by these leading elders in my not-so-great generation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Regardless of whether or not other human beings choose to accept the &quot;answers&quot; to one question, I believe we must ask ourselves, &quot;Can we teach one another to live within limits?&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is necessary, I suppose, for human beings to recognize and affirm human limits&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1332674&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;and Earth&#039;s limitations &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CYP/is_/ai_n15690553&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CYP/is_...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To do otherwise and, by so doing, choose willfully and foolishly to ignore the practical requirements of biophysical reality runs the risk of putting life as we know it and our planetary home as a fit place for human habitation in peril, even in these early years of Century XXI.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steven Earl Salmony&lt;br&gt;AWAREness Campaign on The Human Population,&lt;br&gt;established 2001&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sustainabilityscience.org/content.html?contentid=1176&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://sustainabilityscience.org/content.html?c...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>As a nursing home administrator working in surburban Chicago I always find it fascinating how anti-tax, small government Republicans are the first people to place their mothers and fathers on Medicaid as they expect Medicare to pay for every penny of their parent&#039;s medical costs and attempt to keep their parent&#039;s social security check for themselves!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s funny  how goverment programs are not a wasteful &quot;hand-outs&quot; or examples of government &quot;run-amok&quot; when we, or someone we love, receive benefits. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best wishes to Team Obama in their efforts to rebuild this nation after years of purposeful neglect at the hands of the Republican party.</description>

<p>It&#39;s funny  how goverment programs are not a wasteful &#8220;hand-outs&#8221; or examples of government &#8220;run-amok&#8221; when we, or someone we love, receive benefits. </p>

		<description>You are a real @$$ aren&#039;t you.  &lt;br&gt;We got where we are now because of people like you who do not give a damn about anyone but yourself. I say, stay in your hole and you will be just fine. For the rest of us, we will be apart of something greater then ourselves and be better people for it.</description>

		<description>If everyone thinks their tax dollars should be spent on universal healthcare, struggling public schools, and narrowing the income gap why don&#039;t they get out there in rural counties and inner city slums and start handing out their paychecks. If you care so much about the greater collectives well-being then why do you require the federal government as a middle man, an infinitely bumbling and inefficient middle man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take action by helping people on your own. Be responsible for yourself. Or would you rather trust a political machine that is corrupt no matter who is president.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you feel so bad for poor people, invite a homeless man in for a warm meal or volunteer at an inner city public grade school. Or are you too important and prefer being forced by the government to give money to people who, in many cases, have few aspirations, motivation, or desire to try to find a job. You are the person best fit to decide how your money should be spent, not a panel of chairpersons who more than likely benefit secondarily by your earmarks from legislation regarding general welfare of the American public.</description>

		<description>WE HAVE MORE TO DO:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush&#039;s Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don&#039;t have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He supposedly works for you. But he doesn&#039;t think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn&#039;t that just make you BURRING MAD!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family&#039;s, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Don&#039;t let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He&#039;s not one of you. He is on George Bush&#039;s side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss &quot;Let Them Eat Cake&quot; vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don&#039;t have to be Saxby Chambliss&#039;s victims anymore.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know you will get it done.
