75. Be Prepared - Stay Focused
The relentless attempt of the "Powerful" to create distraction, separation and division by use of racial suggestion is the oldest tool in the "Art of War" against ordinary people. Rise above this, look to something new, something better, something real, something good.

Recognize the ability of Barack Obama to bring people of all backgrounds together for the betterment of our Country and our World...

Unfortunately, the same tool of racism is being used to try to destroy what we see can be....



Several problems that need to be dealt with:

Credit Card interest rates: Get the DVD "MAXED OUT" Must See Documentary...

Transportation Costs: Truckers are now spending $900 to fill up their tanks; 1/3 of operating cost of airlines are fuel. Just everyday people's cost of getting to and from work (but everyone feels this)...

Baby Boomer Generation retiring at the same time when they are seeing their life's savings (retirement and 401k) drop like a rock.

Food Costs - Grocery store visits are getting much more painful...

Energy Costs - BGE (Baltimore Gas & Electric) slapped near an 70% increase in energy charge rates to consumers... OUCH! And really now competiton...

Fewer "Living Wage" Jobs... Fewer "None Living Wage" Jobs...: Over 200,000 jobs cut in first qtr 2008... Many more on the way out.

Rent is way up. Foreclosures are way up. Property values are way down. Interest Rates for consumers are still up (6.35%) or so, despite the government significantly lowering interest rates for banks and investment firms... The Feds poured a trillion dollars into the financial markets over the past 8 months, and much more to come... Where did this money come from and who's going to pay for it?

People with poor credit, can't get credit to bail themselves out of the mess, The Great Depression sets in... From Family to Family...

The War In IRAQ... Talk about an "Ear Mark" Spending $10 to $12 Billion a month on an experiment gone bad... "Hello, Washington we have a fire raging in America, Hello...Hello?


We have an Administration that has so FUBAR'ED America's:
Financial Policy
Energy Policy
Foreign Policy
Domestic Policy

Demand discussions on the real issues.
