My unemployment benefits ran out last month. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well. 2008-05-16T13:45:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-05-16:/comment/15651 Anonymous Thank you all for your prayers and the opportunity to go to Washington DC. We had a great time, and got to meet with Rep. Cathy McMorris,Rep. Norm Dicks, Sen Maria Cantwell in person. We also talked to the chief of staff of Rep. Doc Hastings and Sen. Patty Murray. The ALS Evergreen chapter sent Phillip Gansereit and myself, joining us and paying his own way was my longtime friend and co-worker, Rick Lockard. We spent four days in DC meeting and getting ready to address our reprehensive and Congressman, asking them to endorse the 5 million dollar bill to make a registry for persons with ALS. We also asked for a bill to be passed(HR5454) in the House of Rep. which would make possible for veterans of military service to receive government benefits once diagnosed with ALS regardless of time of duty or amount of time served.(The current government assistance offered only includes those diagnosed with ALS within one year of discharge.) This is also interesting considering that U.S. veterans regardless of type of service(overseas or national) are twice as likely to contract ALS than the average American citizen. Being in Washington and seeing those that live with, and those effected by this disease brought sincere hope, and faith that there is a cure, and that others too share our belief. ALS advocates across the U.S. do truly believe that..."there is a cure, we just haven't found it yet!" The entire Gansereit family thanks you for your support and prayer, and your constant efforts in helping fight ALS.

Mar. 01, 08 Nothing in this world is more alarming then the fact that U. S. Citizens are being attacked and done harm by the U S Government Satellite Program. I was attacked while in Ohio early last year, March and April, after some traveling to Oklahoma, and on to Amarillo, Texas. Apparently, this torturing started before my trip West, for I suffered substantially, prior to that time, not realizing what was happening to me. Throughout 06-07 winter, October until my journey West in March, I suffered an agonizing experience of an equal consequence. At that time, I consider it much more evil and more deadly, for it was done within my home, day and night, while sleeping, while eating, while using the bathroom. You may ask “how can a person be harm, tortured I would say, within their home and not be able to defend themselves.” My understanding was revealing when I thought back to how Russia, in the Cold War, beamed energies into the United States Embassy office building in Moscow, Russia. It wasn’t until some time that the administrations in Moscow realize what was happening, mainly because there was no way of knowing what was happening to the individuals while on duty. I don’t remember the details of the occurrences, but apparently the people there at the Embassy became sickly and this bombardment of energies hindered their work. Could the government in this country, pick out individual citizens who may have irritated a few people, doing them harm? The only reason I’m able to protect myself from this tormenting affect, is my understanding of what actually happened in the Embassy in Moscow. Beams of energy at a specific frequency converging at some designated intersect, namely me while minding my affairs here in my home, tormenting and doing me harm. I’m sure you are extremely hesitant about even thinking such a thing is happening. Yes, this was my first thought when Satellites defense technology came to mind, “is it possible?” “Could it be, someone like me, am under surveillance, attacked by such high tech equipment?” No Way! I thought. But, after weeks of suffering its affect, I discovered truly, satellites are involved. It was recent I’ve been able to pinpoint the exact direction of those invading my privacy, remembering the U S Embassy in Moscow, Russia. I decided it would do no good to contact the Police Dept. “Where’s the harm?” “Where’s the evidence?”—only those who are involved would understand such uncivilized tactics. Spying and harm goes on today and now. Are you willing to believe such evil, is happening, is going on in my home? The End.
