Hi there,
I don’t know how to post a blog topic. You should have an instruction somewhere on your site.
Anyway, there are rumors that the Chairman of Santa Ana Business Bank (a well-known Hispanics in the community) has been replaced by a Caucasian who just joined the board of directors in less than 2 months. Santa Ana Bank was known to be a Hispanics bank and more than half of the board members are Mexicans. How can this happen? Is it a structural change, for better, or worse?
Hello
My name is Erik Braunitzer and I’m contacting you today to bring an upcoming issue to your attention. As citizens it is our responsibility to inform our elected officials of our opinions regarding controversial issues before it’s too late.
As you may know, New York State is contemplating the passage of legislation regarding food and beverage taxes. New York is in danger of losing up to 6,000 jobs if this piece of legislation is passed. Working families already struggling in this compromised economy do not need another form of taxation, they need job creation and real solutions for the problems they face.
I’m hoping you’ll join me in sharing the No Food and Beverage Taxes! Message. I’d be happy to provide a brief article detailing what this type of legislation really means. Please let me know if this is something you’d be interested in.
Kindly,
Erik
Please email to give us an update on the Kelly Thomas case. We would like for Tony Bushala to be a guest on our show.
PERSEVERE
California is a ‘no fault’ state. This, in itself, is in violation of our Constitutional Rights. This supersedes all other arguments of BASIC inalienable Human Rights that are grossly overrun in our Justices. There are criminals in our justices, in our politics, and on the street. Sometimes, they work together. There are decent people all over; this includes in our Justices, in our Politics, and on our Streets
People need to be responsible for themselves. By lowering our head, as if nothing can be done about the ills of our society, we are already dead. It is our responsibility to keep our government, politicians, lawyers, union bosses, association leaders, doctors, psychiatrist, public corporations, pacs, regulators, developers, and so forth, in check. There used to be a day when our government was afraid of the people. In current society, it is a wide majority of citizens with opinion that the people are afraid of our government. We are victims of ourselves; of our own greed, of our lack of civic duty, of our fear, of our desparagement, of our naivety, of our dividedness, of our failure to demonstrate integrity.
Our forefathers designed our Constitution to be simplistic in nature. Currently, paid legal counsel belongs to a private entity intermingled with government, that represents a monopoly. Any private organization that intermingles with government operations, and is granted special powers or unique advantages, should have their Board of Directors voted for by the public. Lawyers and attorneys regularly justify untruthfulness as the only way to get a agenda accomplished. This same premise goes for politicians, and modern day business / advertising practices. This is horseradish.
Human Beings are simplistic in nature. Our justices were designed to serve the common man. When an attorney, or politician, who is granted special powers by the government, is found guilty of perjury (which hardly ever happens, by the way), this individual is guilty of treason to our nation. Paid legal counsel has obfuscated legal process and procedure. The arguments to support such obfuscation do not pass the litmus test.
Our children deserve a better world than what we have left them, and they will get a better world in spite of the hole we have dug. We have allowed ourselves to rot from within. Our children are optimistic until we fill them with our perspective. In many ways, mainstream thought should look within.
The cures are simple, however, it will take demonstrated Will from our nation’s ‘sleeping giant’. This does not mean civil disobedience. This means call out the liars for what they are. Replace untruthful politicians and lawyers; do not diminish the honorable positions. Rather than change, put the pieces back together. Eliminate parasitic society, and re-establish symbiotic society. Leaders deserve reward for the means of productivity they create for others; they do not deserve the ability to steal from another’s effort.
Remove the chains of dependency, and things become a lot clearer. Separate Ego from Love. Find a balance between both. Try best not to judge others. Try, rather, to understand some one by the motives they demonstrate. Listen to others. Have a genuine interest in others. Check yourself, and often. Forgive yourself, and move forward.
Communism does not spur creativity or ingenuity. Socialism does not spur accountability for one’s self. Freedom, humbleness, and honesty, spurs Greatness, spurs creativity, and spurs ingenuity.
Tariffs were designed, and implemented, for good reason to keep fairness in trade. There is nothing wrong with protectionism when our trading partners are stealing from us. Rather than fight wars across the world, we need to fix our selves, and demonstrate the Greatness we have represented.
Walk softly, and carry a big stick.
Do not abscond ourselves from responsibility.
We are terrorizing Mexico by our own consumption of imported illicit drugs; we are providing the means for their cartels. There are decent people everywhere in the world, and we can learn from good values practiced elsewhere. Our military currently views Mexico as a ‘failed state’.
If an individual is old enough to fight and die for our country, they are old enough to make their own choices. I am not saying it is O.K. to use self-destructive drugs, and we will need to counsel these users. Everything requires moderation. There should be comparable repercussions for allowing spoil to our children. We should not allow our ‘slums’ to be controlled by crime, drugs, or poverty. We should foster the Greatness we all have within. Pharmaceutical solutions also need to be vetted for what they are.
When you have hope, you have everything. When you have no hope, you have nothing. Life is what you make it. Being happy is a choice you make.
We are not machines. We shall not be controlled as such. We are individuals. Everyone has their own Gifts. Do not allow us to be divided by race, color, or creed.
Many men ‘behind the curtain’ have forgotten that they need the men ‘in front of the curtain’, or there is no show to have.
We are simple creatures. Make it so.
We do not need to destroy our means. We need to conquer ourselves. We are here to learn something. Our nation’s premise is Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
In God We Trust, as a balance of ONE, between Control and Freedom. We are perfectly imperfect. The key is to maintain balance.
Love our soldiers, policemen, and firefighters. Thank them often. Let them know they are appreciated. These individuals put their life on the line to protect and serve us. Remind ourselves that ‘professional integrity’ serves an Ultimate Superior; our energy, our stardust, our source of life, our creator, our Bright and Morning Star. This premise rings True Universally.
Love is not always something you feel, sometimes it is work, Love is something you do.
Love your self. Love your neighbor.
Judgment is placing a permanent condemnation on another. Judge no one. The only important judgment we make is the one we place upon ourselves. To feel good about ourselves, we need to make good choices. Try best to understand yourself. Understanding yourself takes practice and maturity.
Be humble. When allowing another to understand that we know we are no better than they are, they can offer amazing insight.
The pressures of this world can crush us all. When that happens, you can choose to turn to sanctuary, or destruction.
Do not celebrate the misery of others. Celebrate the success of others.
Pull the cart. Do not push the cart.
Make sensible decisions. Show some effort.
Persevere.
Hello,
Hi my name is Twyla Williams and am a Chico State student in the Social Wrork Program. I would like to interview someone from your organization on the position on Prop 35. If you could have someone email me with a number so I can speak to someone about this it would be great.
Thank you
Twyla Williams
I tried writing you at the address you used to log on, Twyla, and it was returned to me. Leave another comment with your correct email address.
Hi There,
I’m writing to let you know that Douglas Bowen, JD Bowen Inc., has ripped off an article from this blog by Geoff Willis. That’s called copyright infringement and it’s a crime. One complaint has been filed already with the F.B.I. Bowen stole three articles from various sources. The other two sources, OC Register and America Online, have high-priced attorneys with very shiny wingtips and expensive suits. Call your lawyers. You can find your piece at http://applebomb.com/cityofmissionviejo02.html and you can contact Douglas Bowen at:
