		<description><![CDATA[<p>This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.   </p>
<p>An idea whose time has come </p>
<p>For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn&#039;t pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for  sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered&#8230;in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn&#039;t seem logical. We do  not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don&#039;t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.  This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.</p>

<p>Have each person contact a minimum of twenty people on their Address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.</p>
<p>In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that  really should be passed around.</p>
<h2>Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution</h2>
<p> &#034;Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .&#034;</p>
<p>You are one of many, make it count. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can A Listbuilding System Be TOTALLY Automated?</p>
<p>I know we&#039;re all a bit sick and tired of promises of &#034;automated software&#034; that will make us rich before dinner.</p>
<p>And I&#039;m always the first to be skeptical of these kinds of outrageous claims.</p>
<p>But today I may have to actually eat my words.</p>
<p>Because I just picked up a listbuildilng system that really is incredibly fast&#8230;,</p>
<p>And the traffic actually does keeps flow in on auto-pilot.</p>
<p>It&#039;s a pretty new tactic on the scene that I&#039;ve heard of.</p>
<p>But I never really knew how to implement it.</p>
<p>Then I found this:</p>
<p><a  href="http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/">Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System</a></p>
<p>At that link 7 figure marketer Bill McRea is  GIVING AWAY this listbuilding system totally free&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#039;s his way of getting some buzz going for his upcoming product launch (apparently he&#039;s go another system up his sleeve that&#039;s even better than this)</p>
<p>In any case..</p>
<p>I went and got this myself and it&#039;s totally legit.</p>
<p>There&#039;s nothing scammy about it all.<br />
It&#039;s just a way to instantly create a win-win offer that potential JV partners can&#039;t refuse.</p>
<p>Bill hand you EVERYTHING you need to make it work. And I mean EVERYTHING.</p>
<p>So if you know the power of having a mailing list..</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor and go get this.</p>
<p>Do it now: <a  href="http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/">Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System</a></p>
<p>I mean&#8230;you can&#039;t beat the price, right?</p>
<p>P.S. There is one catch to this&#8230;you&#039;ll have to help spread the word. But that&#039;s easy for me because I&#039;ve seen this strategy in action and know that it works.<br />
You should get <a  href="http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/">Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System</a> now!</p>

<p>This was an article from the <span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">St. Petersburg Times Newspaper</span><br />
on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on</p>
<p>&#034;<strong>How Would You Fix the Economy</strong>?&#034;</p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I thought this was the BEST idea&#8230;I think this guy nailed it!</span></p>
<p>Dear Mr. President,</p>
<p>Patriotic retirement:</p>
<p>There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work</p>
<p>force &#8211; Pay them $1 million apiece severance with the<br />
following stipulations:</p>
<p><strong>1.    They retire immediately.</strong></p>
<p>Forty million job openings &#8211; Unemployment fixed.</p>
<p><strong>2.    They buy NEW American cars.</strong></p>
<p>Forty million cars ordered &#8211; Auto Industry fixed.</p>
<p><strong>3.    They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage.</strong></p>
<p>Housing Crisis fixed.</p>
<p>It can&#039;t get any easier than that!</p>
<p>P. S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress<br />
and their constituents pay their taxes.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wonder how many of our &#039;elected&#039; lawmakers have their retirement funds in AIG. That would be like the fox guarding the hen house.</p>
<p>Seems like there should be a major investigation and find out who should NOT have been allowed to vote on the bailout package for AIG.</p>
<p>Now all of a sudden they&#039;re going to try and recover the money. I think there should be some serious prison time for the higher ups in AIG and some of the politicians that were in on this AIG bailout from the start.</p>
<p>I think anyone in that organization who took a bonus from OUR tax dollars should pay a really hefty price for what is basically fraud and misappropriation.</p>
<p>Remember this fiasco the next time you vote for your lawmakers.</p>
<p>How about a law for full disclosure of financial interests before you can get on a ballot?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, we might actually have decent, honest people to vote for, for a change.</p>
<p>Maybe even have people in office that actually care about how our country is run and keep things like this from getting out of hand in the future.</p>

<p>That&#039;s what every marketer I sign up with says on their sign up form. You know, down at the bottom in small print.</p>
<p>I have signed up lately at a few different places for different types of information. And now all of a sudden I&#039;m getting a lot of email from places I&#039;ve never heard of and wondering why.</p>
<p>When I scroll to the bottom of the email there&#039;s a disclaimer that they are Can-Spam compliant because I signed up with one of their &#039;marketing affiliates&#039;.</p>
<p>OK, now all the marketers I signed up with said they respected my privacy and would &#039;never&#039; sell or rent my contact information.</p>
<p>So, who&#039;s really telling the truth and who&#039;s basically outright lying?</p>
<p>How about marketers that don&#039;t let you off their list? I unfortunatly happen to be on one of the big &#034;JV&#034; guru&#039;s list and he doesn&#039;t provide any of the Can-Spam info that is and has been required since I believe 2003. Oh he gives a remove link in every email but it&#039;s always just for that particular email and it&#039;s things I&#039;ve never ask about. There is no way to get off his &#039;master&#039; list and no way to contact him either.</p>
<p>I guess that&#039;s how he makes so much money, he has a captive audience.</p>
<p>What would really be nice is if everyone played by the same rules and acted like adults. Online marketing could actually be taken seriuosly by all the people who have been either a victum of really shoddy marketing and or had their email addresses plowed under with a landslide of SPAM.</p>
<p>Well, that&#039;s enough for today, any comments?</p>
