To: Rep. Stephanie Stubbs-Jones - OHIO I am a Canadian resident who has been watching with great interest the recent Presidential race in the States. As you may know, when our American cousins sneeze, the rest of us north of the border catch pneumonia! Not to mention the various other ailments the rest of the world may be afflicted with as result of political winds from your country! [I often feel that Canadians should be given the U.S vote, too!?].... So, I was delighted to see you, Stephanie, on CNN news when you made your unequivocal statement that you will continue to endorse Sen. Hillary Clinton regardless of the many challenges you may be facing at this critical time as result of your difficult decision. I would like to CONGRATULATE YOU and THANK YOU for the wonderful ETHICAL EXAMPLE you are setting in this campaign for young girls and women throughout your country and beyond. Your courageous, steadfast LOYALTY [a forgotten virtue!] to a candidate whose Universal Healthcare proposal is the most comprehensive and beneficial--and whose impeccable record on Women's and Children's issues is the guiding light for all politicians--is a source of joy and pride for all North-American women. You represent women's best instincts and traditional ETHOS, and your comments were heartfelt and made me proud to have you, an American neighbour, involved in politics where you are making a real difference in women's and children's lives in Ohio. I will never forget Hillary Clinton's courageous, indeed confrontational, challenge to the Chinese Officials back at the UN Conference in 1995: "Women's rights are Human Rights!" Her speech was one for the ages. I've saved the newspaper clippings! She was instrumental in passing legislation to give American epileptic, and all handicapped children, assistance with their distinct Medical and Educational needs back in 1998, and I keep hearing from women friends in the States who are now accomplished only because of HILLARY'S GIGANTIC EFFORTS on their behalf back then. In tolerant, Multicultural Canada, we are fortunate to have women's Equality rights constitutionally entrenched in our Charter since 1982 [ERA has yet to be passed!]. And our National Universal Health Act made sure that [since enacted in 1965] not a single Canadian man, woman and child can be denied free healthcare. And Canadian government costs per capita on Healthcare are much lower than the American insurance-oriented scheme. It is because of Canada's Universal National Healthcare Act and its resulting healthy workforce that Ontario was recently able to attract billion-dollar investment from Japanese car manufacturers who are building their plants here--and chose Ontario over Texas citing these factors! Surely Americans, who have waited so long since Hillary's courageous pioneering Health care plan was sabotaged in the 90s, would rather support her as the most proven, tested, competent and superbly qualified presidential nominee. Youthful, truly charismatic Sen. Obama's anorexic resume is no match for Hillary's track record and reliability under fire, although he would make an excellent Vice-President. But I am afraid the blatantly misogynist U.S. media's biased anti-Hillary coverage is actually "shadow-voting" this democratic nomination--rather than allowing the public to carefully scrutize each candidate's resume and determine who gets the Top Job based on MERIT. I hope that we are not faced with the prospect of yet another competent, qualified and experienced woman hitting against the 'glass ceiling' and, regrettably, be denied the top job in favour of a younger, less experienced male candidate! Above all, I hope and pray that misogyny will soon disappear from both media and politics and wish you and Sen. Clinton the very best, and please keep up your fight and advocate on behalf for women and children. For their health and wellbeing is the real foundation and true measure of a sane, healthy society. Respectfully, Mary Sakel Ontario - CANADA

Lawrence E Richards 352-585-5466 7272 Landsdale St. Brooksville, FL. 34601 law_richards@yahoo. Com Mar. 01, 08 Satellites used in Home surveillance No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’ Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and doing their dastardly thing. Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by ground coordinators, causing damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever, individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death. Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End

Dear Ms. Stubbs-Jones, I just KEEP telling myself that THIS is nightmare or a HORROR flick...... and that I WILL wake up....BUT...... I can see clearly now, this IS reality; YOUR reality. Since YOU are REALLY feeling SO very MUCH compelled to support THE Clinton's, after ALL of their dishonest, dirty, low level attacks AND "CHEAP TRICKS" against Barack Obama," well: "Honey, ah'm SCARED OF YOU"! HOW could you NOT support this man, Obama? I can only HOPE that YOUR ancestors .... YES those who were enslaved, can understand your choice NOW, because I certainly do NOT see how you can EVER reconcile this kind of choice with YOUR past or with YOUR future (with YOUR ancestors OR YOUR grandchildren).... BUT.... maybe I'm just too old and too dumb to understand a BIG, WELL accomplished woman like you.>>>>>> NOT! Perhaps you just want to get unemployment. I don't know. IF you are NOT reelected, can YOU collect unemployment benefits? Will YOU be eligible for that? You ought to get some information on that because I WILL be trying to find the RIGHT person to FILL your LOST seat. How dare you, as an elected official go against YOUR BASE? YOU have NO right to support, until and unless YOUR BASE supports. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Uh I DON'T know, but I have to HOPE (there is that HOPE word, yet again) that you DO know what you are going to do, FOR and WITH ....YOUR political future. God Bless you and YOUR political future....especially WHEN Obama wins. HOPEFULLY yours, Janet

Dear Fellow Americans: >NOTE:< IF you agree with this effort, forward this email. BUT if you do NOT agree, just smile and delete. This is NO attempt to influence your vote and NO.... I have NOT been approached or solicited or asked or paid or anything....to "launch this letter". I am reminded that when Americans fail to speak out against what they perceive as bad politics and bad policies, we ALL loose. I have always been a taxpaying and voting citizen. My first vote was for John F. Kennedy. I have felt great disdain for African Americans who vigorously support the Republican Party. When the Clinton's were being attacked by Ken Star and were subjected to the dirty tactics of a smear campaign by the Republican Party, even 'tho personal misbehavior invited that, I wrote letters of support to the Clinton's and, on their behalf, to numerous politicians and to church leaders across this nation. In my opinion, this 2008 Presidential political contest is NOT so much about race or/and gender, as it is about POWER. But it MUST also be won ethically and fairly. As it appears to me, BOTH the Clinton's are making a strong case to validate the belief that the abused, once gaining power, may become the abuser. Speaking for myself only, I am grateful that when there was a call for the bus boycott in Montgomery, AL, that NOT one African American Minister called for support of continued segregated busses. Every "chance" to support a candidate is NOT the same thing as an opportunity to promote the GOOD of the people. To express my concern about their actions, I have personally contacted certain community leaders via web addresses, who have been motivated to step forward with unnecessary and untimely "ENDORSEMENTS" or/and divisive debasing comments.OH! What would Adam Clayton Powell think now? ~~~ PLEASE help God BLESS America~~~ It IS our responsibility to step IN here. The media, while we NEED them for information, IS also fanning the flames of a fire that has the potential to become big and dangerous. I hope to have as many people as possible call the Clinton Headquarters; numbers listed below. I have called.Tell them: 1. Tell any one who answers the phone that you want to see an end to the negative campaigning 2. That you are a private citizen who does NOT like the personal attacks and distortion of the record 3. That you WILL withdraw support and WILL campaign against ANY candidate who initiates and maliciously perpetrates "personal" and cheap attacks 4. That we Americans want POSITIVE campaigning on THE ISSUES from a leader who seeks to unify, NOT just win .............OR....... say whatever YOU choose, but DO call to say something that may help foster a more civil campaign Thanks, Janet OHIO 4420 North Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203 703-469-2008 Fax: 703-962-8600 Arizona 602-279-8030 | Website Arkansas 501-244-0200 | Website California - North 415-255-7431 | Website California - South 213-908-0190 | Website Colorado 303-296-1708 | Website Georgia 404-541-9595 | Website Iowa 515-282-5307 | Website Minnesota 612-374-0156 | Website Missouri 314-961-2008 | Website Nevada 702-664-1040 | Website New Hampshire 603-782-4640 | Website New Jersey 609-695-0600 | Website New York 212-213-3717 | Website South Carolina 803-667-3112 | Website
