Wedensday June 29th 2011 @ 3:26pm ( trying to catch up on posts… and on repairs to my computer.. and my lifeHA!)

 So within  the past  weeks…..  between baby sititng at the Hyatt for the Edwards Jones  group and life in general i went  to staples   to try  to   find out who in corporate would have possibly called to say that they  wouldn’t  work on my computer… I was able to speak with the manager ( who was a super nice lady)  and she told  me luckily or maybe unluckily for me … that  it wasn’t just a random girl who had called in to make sure i wouldn’t have the use of the internet.. or a computer  which would mean I could not  write in my blog … it wasn’t a girl who once again was trying  to violate my rights….

but  Bill Back the general manager made the decision that they didn’t want me to write about the service or the repairs on the computer… or the liability if anything went wrong with the computer or the  information on the hard drive while they were trying to repair it… 

the woman manager   told me that this blog and website were the primary reasons for not wanting to take in my computer and do the repairs….

 Can telling the truth actually be a liability? I am just trying to recount the facts  as they occur and my opinion of the incidents may be a bit  subjective  but  i will say when someone helps me or when someone doesn’t and i will say exactly what they say to me if i feel that the conversation is bulling  or  if it is not what i would ever hear  that  person  say…  

 like…..

there was a really nice girl anna who was a huge help… and alex wo was super nice especially when i had been crying about  the computer not working when i brought it into the store… and most everyone has been  super nice with excellent customer service  even when mike was at the store and had repaired it the first time…  

staples had refunded my money and returned my  computer and hard drive in the same condition i left it with them…. not working…..  

so i ended up trying to get it to work . myself… and i was able to take the old hard drive that mike that taken the information off and put on the new larger hard drive… and just formatted it and reinstalled windows.. and all the original Cd’s that came with it….  i  could get windows to work …but coudlnt get on the internet… and no matter what i tried i wasn’t able to go online…..  so i called a guy that i had met while he and his partner were walking their German Shepard dog….. his name is Nate James and is the president /CEO  of NAPLES FLORIDA TECH ( computer repair and training services )    his website is:  www.nftpc.com and phone is 239-594-8324

He was able to come out to my home and get the internet working on the computer!!!!! all working now  now that i know… it was really a pretty simple fix he needed to download the driver that would allow the computer to communicate with the internet…..   he charged  me $55.00 and had to stay a bit longer to try to work on the other computers… so i was only able to pay him $75.00.

the following day while i was on  line a blue screen came up with a critical error…. so i went to the larger hard drive and even though it supposedly had all the info still store on it…  I had to do the same thing…. and format the hard drive and install windows.. and start all over….  which means scanning in everything….  and trying to recapture all the articles i had copied from the wall street journal… or were of interest for business… or for family… or for life….. Sheesh….   its going to take forever…. UGG

I tried testing the smaller hard drive and  only tried using it for a short while  but it didint   go to that blue screen  but i will try it again to see what happens…. if it does have critical errors… i don’t know if i have to reinstall everything or if something wasn’t   installed….  anyone have any ideas?  what the problem could be? i really don’t have any money left  to fix things all over again…. HA! especially since i just paid electric and car insurance! 

Saturday June 25th 2011 @1:26pm ( yes… back online finally…. what a few weeks this has been…UGGGGGGG!!!!!!))

Since i wasn’t able to get my computer working… i started to write…. yes i said write in long hand blog entries.. so  that i could keep posted as to the events.. and any problems or solutions  i may be able to  document…. so here are a few of them….

June 21st. 2011 @8:50am:
Yesterday i went  to staples to go and see about my computer r… to my surprise  my computer had not been  touched… i asked one of the employees what the diagnosis was for the repair  and they  toldmethey had refunded the money for the diagnosis and  I was told that  they had received a call form “corporate” and were told not to touch my computer!

The last time i checked I cant possibly think why /how someone from corporate cold have possibly known me let alone known about t my computer and known anything about when or if it was broken & if it needed to be repaired. 

I know i told “my mother” over the phone about going to staples for my staples rewards when I was recycling all my empty cartridges and when a month a go i had taken it in for repairs

It makes no sense why i wouldn’t be “allowed” to have my computer fixed …. it seems almost a  violation of my rights…  as a consumer…. i am not a person who has committed any crimes that would be reason for me to not be allowed to shop at certain places… ie like   shop lifters….  might be stopped from shopping from certain stores… nor  have i not paid for bills from staples… i actually like staples and the staples rewards program….

i am a real regular human being who should be allowed to shop where i want .. at what i want… and go anywhere i want…. what are we living not in Florida but in some third world country where woman don’t have the same rights as men? or women don’t have the freedom to pick and choose their  life and follow their dreams.. or for that matter ability to pick and choose what stores they are allowed to  use?

seems pretty manipulative to me… and if Karen or any of the other mean girls who manipulate my life are at the bottom of this i want  it to stop!  Ever since the same manipulating criminals have been allowed to do anything to me and ruin everything in my live , my business, my hopes and dreams.. must say life is just not the same…. and i hope no one has  to have their freedoms taken away form them in this manner…  who the hell do these girls /boys think they are?…. God that they can control a person’s life.. and choices?

I   will try to go and see who called…. if it wasn’t from  corporate… then that reeks from  some serious manipulation and if the mean girls are at the bottom of this yet again…… why?….. possibly so that i cant use my computer.?. or go on the internet?…  its defiantly a control issue… and i will have to check for my civil liberties to see if it violates my rights….  in case it is still involved with the identity theft… or the stealing of a business…. what ever … it is not right… it is not alright i should say….

I also went to 5th /3rd bank…. to cash a check form babysitting written on a check from their bank….
wow.. they now have a policy that a check written on their bank account cost 8$ to cash.. at their bank unless you have an account at their bank…. that seems to me  to be such an odd policy….  doesn’t it?  So instead of cashing  the  check at 5th 3rd… i    went  to my bank…

 maybe they need the extra  time   between banks to float the money so they can cash checks…. I think i saw on a t v show  that  criminals do that…. to get checks cashed… but if there is money in an account…  at the actual bank the check is written on….. seems like a very odd policy….. to charge eight dollars just  to cash it…   but  maybe they don’t  want to make new customers… or think that instead of paying the 8 dollars someone will just open a new account? who knows…

i did ask the cashier if he had been there when karen kahel had worked there….. he said he had only worked there a year (   i think that i s what he said… ) so didn’t know her…. guess knowing she had worked at the branch…. when all the mess started.. and when i was sitting for her son… always  good to check… if i do get to find anyone who may  known if she  was having an affair with a guy form the bank… ( ie the guy in the pool….with her while i was sitting for her son….  i mean it could have been the guy for the bMW dealership as well.. but it would be helpful to narrow it down a bit….. )  or would know if she happened to have access to my  safe deposit box…. where i kept extra keys… and garage openers.. and money and jewelry…. UGG i just want to be  sure the criminals are punished….   

I   also wnt by my mom’s house to get the  thomas the train DVD….. she found it in her DVD player… GREAT NEWS that the DVD want stolen but just  in her DVD player…..

on the repair side of things… i did findthat i have a light out in my headlights so one more thing to fix… UGG  

and on a positive note… i did go back to the bullicide website and they have a judge who is now on the website and works in Miami…. I didn’t get to read all the case studies but i did get to send him an email requesting that he view my website   and if he knew of any lawyers who would be available in assisting me or if he had any additional assistance that he could offer  so that the case will be successfully prosecuted!   

What prompted me to  look on the website again… and try to seek additional assistance?…. I was told again that i will never be able to have a lawyer…( first because of all the harem and business loss…. and broken and stolen bits of my life and my possessions…. well …. because i couldn’t  afford one that would  be great….

 i was also told:  that no one will believe me.. and that  it’s all my fault……also  i was told  that when i get upset whether it is through anger… or through crying.. any response to anything said or done to me is unacceptable…  that to these bullies it is o.k. to bully me… to manipulate my life and try to make me look incompetent… or that i have some kind of anger problem.. or even that I’m not nice… whatever  ruins my reputation… and ruins my life…. or whatever false reputation they want to label me with…

these bullies have been allowed to do anything… say anything.. and to do and say anything ABOUT ME!

They have been allowed to get away with taking over yet another business….  even by taking away small jobs… why?  i think it is to try to prove that they can not only do anything.. and say anything… but can control and manipulate any which way they want…. these people are allowed to make up lies… to threaten.. to bully…   until their lies are supposed to be the truth….  and how the hell am i supposed to dispute all the  lies? i have been trying to disprove all their lies… and it is exhausting…. but hopefully documenting in this blog will at least be a bit helpful… we will wait and see…. right.?..

Saturday June 18th 2011 @10:44pm ( HERE AT KINKOS … TO PUT IN A BLOG POST…. SINCE I HAVE NO COMPUTER… AND NO PHONE… DUE TO COMPUTER PROBLEMS… )

so here i am at 10: 44 pm  at Kinkos… putting in a post… haven’t had my computer since i didn’t lock it up and ended up with a back screen and a little white dot.. and no windows..   I left my computer at staples with a new tech.. Marcelle… and after  65.00 diagnostics service fee… we will see if he was able to get it running….

Must say this has been a really shitty weekend… or few days on and  off.. I  had all these people who kept picking fights… and trying to start arguments.. and actually made me cry… .   Why??? why would someone go out of there way to make me look bad.. to make me cry.. and of course i was babysitting so i am missing a cd…. Thomas the train CD….   I am told again to keep quiet and to not  say anything… and  to not worry.. it will show up… but so far my khaki  sweater hasn’t shown up… my diamond earnings.. hasn’t shown up.. and my pearl earrings haven’t shown up…   and i was in tears getting ice cream at the Ritz… being consoled feeling that i am not valuable.. and that of course i don’t matter… 

before  my sister  and i went to go to the movie…  i heard on the intercom of a yogurt place… the song i placed on this  website… the  song about hoping to meet the right person  but just  haven’t met you yet…

i think i had someone trying to make it look like i actually was eating pizza this evening while babysitting at the Hyatt… ( which i really have had enough pizza when i was in college… and bought myself a   great roast beef sandwich   and a delicious croissant with chocolate… Yummm  but then i also think that some guy thinks i am the girl who likes to buy  things at target… which i have mentioned that i hate target and Walmart…  but it must be some girl who has a bob hair cut.. in fact… Jewles from my front gate got me really  upset when he told me that when my sister Mattie came to visit late last night ( 9pmish )  it was a girl who looked like my twin… he actually said that it was a girl who laughed just like me.. and who looked just like me.. my sister Mattie actually has   long dark hair now…. so of course i freaked out… knowing that there are some girls or at least one person  who must have needed to use my drivers license in 2005…. same time the first stolen laptop… and the same time when all the  information was stolen from my lap top… I’m wondering if its a new group of people who need the information to start or to try to run my mothers’ business… 

the thing about target…  I once helped a woman who lived in my complex but lived by Annies place… her name was carolyn K. and he had knee surgery… i assisted her for a full day and also picked up her meds from target…  i think when we were talking she mentioned that she liked  the girl who had the long blond hair and trespassed int my complex  pretending to run so she  could meet up with boys/ men or what ever karen kahel did when she transported children  and trespassed into private property… but then  she is just  another example of the “whore to door  service girls” and the way they manipulate lives…  to  and ruin lives…

I honestly  think that 8 years of begin bullied and lied to  and having every hope and dream i ever had is far too much…  i was talking to my sister about heaven.. and death.. and honestly .. I will  never do anything to  harm myself or others .. but  i really cant wait to be dead and in heaven….   i wont have to deal with selfish bullies.. i wont have to deal with a bunch of people who think it is o.k. to  steal from me.. to harm me.. and to ruin my life…  i will get to see loved ones who i guess are  the only  people who really loved me…  these last 8 years… and i wont be used by a bunch of strangers who need to have a girl  who is 5 foot 4 inches and who was once really  really nice.. and who was once really  really happy… and who was once really  really loved.. and who once really had a ton of real friends  and family who   would have done anything and everything for me… as i would have done everything and anything for them…

one really interesting incident that occurred when i was babysitting… a child that was not  in my care but was in the same family… came back into the room after being bullied bya 14 year old boy… she was 12…

her and  her friends  were upset and were a bit afraid to tell their parents.. i told her it would put me in a  really awkward  position if i didn’t tell her parents and would need to tell them but i also told her form my own personal experience that bulling is not acceptable behavior.. that no one is allowed to make anyone feel bad about themselves and that if you look around  there is always going  to be someone  that should be on your side so to speak and  that you should tell the proper authorities.. and it should be stopped… i offered that her and her friends come and stay in the room even if i wasn’t  supposed to babysit them… get ice cream watch a movie.. and  just  not be around the boys.. i told her at 12 to make sure that the bulling  doesn’t escalate to anything   physical.. that if you feel uncomfortable in any situation you have a right to just leave… and to make sure that you tell your parents and  any adults and proper authority… that real friends and devoted loving ad wonderful family members…  will never allow you to be bullied.. or harmed in any way.. and by telling the proper authorities.. you will stop these  people from harming  you or anyone else….  in the future 

Also i was walking on the treadmill and got to see some movies that i usually watch with the older kids.. like princesses diaries.. and the prince and me…  really cure movies. and seeing Denmark.. made me think of my time in  France … and meeting  my friend Heidi from Denmark.. and Thomas and claes  from Sweden.. and  who would have ever thought that i would have met that scummy criminal.. and all the horrid people from  i would have never come back form Europe… i would have stayed in France.. and just  never come back…

but actually i should have been able to come back to Naples and be free to peruse a successful business.. to preuse a  great relationship, and to have a great life…. no  problems… no worries … and no dramma…and definitely no bulling… and no criminals….. UGGG is that too much to ask?

maybe i would have come back for college… but probably gone with my original plan to go to school with my friend Kathy young in  California…  or would have made  sure that i  lived in a a very safe environment with no criminals…  If i couldn’t have gone back that far.. i would have definitely  wished  that i had never met that at scum gerard Ahler… and karen kahel…  NEVER MET them!

I look back on my life.. and know i had a great past… had amazing  experiences… and amazing friends and family… and to see what meting just a few rotten and horrid and selfish criminals.. can do to  a life.. it is absolutely  not acceptable… not at all !   when i was talking to father Len… about god and prayers… and about  prayers being answered….  no answers.. yet… and i went  and cried  at the church..( what a horrid sat night right?) . and said my novena tonight after babysitting… before coming to kinkos to  put out at least one post… its a bit late. I know….

 but since i’m assuming breaking my computer so i would have no way to communicate with anyone.. so when someone would make me cry .. or  keep m
e alone or  end to manipulate my life… because some look alike  from  west palm or  the  check republic or from where ever… needed to be out on the town.. i wouldn’t interrupt the fun and games they play with people’s lives…  especially at the  end of the weekend.. when everyone has had their fun and their parties and  kept me out of everything…

i tried to ask  my sister  when i became not valuable?   when did  i not matter?… for Scott and any other guy so far… actually i haven’t been allowed to meet any other guys really…. I was never tall enough  or  thin  enough or whatever enough… but  I’m pretty sure in college Cameron actually thought i was alright just the way i was/ the way i am…  and any real friend would love and appreciate me just the way i am…  but it seems prety hard to find any real nice normal peopl hewho can be genuine freinds.. so many people  have somealterior motive… like breaking into your home.. or stealing.. or using your idenity.. or your name.. or  using your friends to steal your blessings…  what rotten people right? yes i must agree…
 and i don’t understand why my sister Mattie  kept hanging out with this one babysitter instead of my mom?…  made me remember that one post on facebook for a “mattie kelly”….  a girl who married an Irish boy? or did they just  get the  typing wrong?   pretty far off when it is a last name of  kelly…. to misspell it from   ZISKA….

 the nice parts of the weekend… well the Thomas bubbles that stopped a little boy jack form crying..  being able to  be helpful and give great advice to a girl of 12 years of age… about the unacceptable  bulling by anyone… i almost thought Hey maybe i went through these horrid years and experiences to  be able to  just make  sure this young girl doesn’t get harmed…  but then I  got bullied  after that so nope… couldn’t have been a lesson to learn just for that moment… UGG>>

 i still see no  redeeming factor for any of this..  again i was told that none reads this blog.. that i don’t matter.. that no one cares… and that no one will ever help me…  of course my response to that  was a relentless stream of  tears…   puffy eyes… and this gut wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach… which brings me to  another revelation… the first timed in 2003.. when the buling and torment  started.. did i happen to mention i lost 20  pounds.. yes i went from 120 pounds to about 100 pounds…  i don’t know if the boys and girls who bullied got more pleasure the thinner i got .. that made them feel more powerful that they could  not  only ruin a nice girl’s life.. but that they could  cause her physical harm as well…  the boys and of course karne kahel who jumps up ad down and cries out that she won when she bullies someone …  but  the boys must get aroused and get excited to be able to harm a defenseless girl.. right? i mean its some kind of sick power trip right?   then afterwords…  i actually didn’t  talk to anyone for  about 6 months…  i mean really didn’t ….. i started sleeping with a night light  after nightmares… and of course when some guy said he  watched me walk around my condo in my swimsuit… there went  opening all the windows and curtains….  so…..  when i was told that a certain  person didn’t think it  really did anything  to affect my life… i must   disagree… and Must say without a shadow of a doubt…. it  ruined my life… these people ruined my life….  and even though father Len had almost  talked me int at lest thinking about forgiving them.. i wet back and told his secretary that no way.. am i ever forgiving  them  for  all of this.. never! and i want Justice more than ever … and i want damages more than ever! 

and to the idiots… the ones who steal identities… and think they can take the place of an origional person… you will never… take my place.. you don’t know all the  stores.. you dont know all the real stories.. and real occurances.. and all the real life experiences…  you are ruining lives permanently.. and you shouldn’t be allowed  to do it… its criminal.. its nto acceptable adn  may god never have mercy on  your selfish and rotten souls.

Wednesday June 15th 2011@1:05pm ( computer harddrive…. gone)

Well yesterday and today have been horrid… on Monday night i didn’t pack away my computer and hard drive like i have been since 2005 when i had my one laptop stolen….. and low and behold….  i went on monday after doing some chores at home… and  my laptop wouldn[‘t log into windows…. nthing i tried made it  go into windows… and so today no difference… no use of my computer… no phone through the computer and no  way to email or   do anything… basically i am imvisible.. and no wonder a bunch of the “beautiful people have come over form allover.. i know my sister from palm beach…. is here… and i am to babysit  and stay out of the way… more or less the  same method of isolation  that karne kahel uses to manipulate lives… to isolate people for  any sort of life they ever wanted or could ever have….  i would say it is selfish.. but it is worse  than that.. it is manipulative and destructive and  just checking on the computer hard drive is going to cost me  $65.00 not that this group of whore to doors  actually  cares about anyone but themselves…. they are too busy lying cheating and stealing form everyone….  making everyone else  have a horrid life and messing up all their hopes an dreams.. let alone  allowing anyone to  have the life they worked for or drempt about… or anything that they ever wanted… 8 years  where some whore who is tall enough.. thin enough and worthy enough is allowed to steal anything.. including earrings.. clothing… and anything they ever wanted.. who are handed businesses.. and handed  a business..  and everything they want… an affair with a house… the name of a book at the orr house…  that  always makes me think of  the idiots who have not only trespassed… but been allowed to bully me and harm my life to where i had to go without everything i ever wanted……   So since this group of  condoning criminals.. is allowed to be here in Naples this very special weekend…. maybe the girl got knocked up or a new whore is introduced to the group…  or they are testing out  her criminal ability.. can she lie and cheat.. and steal… can she get awy with all the lies.. and say she runs a business.. well she has access to my hard drive so i guess it will help her ot prove she is able to  gain money  from all the hard work i have done… or allowed to  so anything to me… or say anything about me… i realized i don’t matter.. and i am not valuable and by Gerard ruining my reputation..  and my life… and karne kahel being able to  say anything mean  about me… or all the lies she   was able to get away with  saying… including  telling me i will never be hired.. that no one will believe me.. and being able to  harm my life over and over….  but all those people decide that i is is o.k. to isolate me….. to bully me….  and to never allow any of my own hopes and dreams come true…

and i was even told today that is it fruitless to peruse having any justice… that justice is in heaven and that i will gain rewards in heaven.. what a load of bullshit! that is what criminals say to allow injustice… .   and since the beautiful people are here today and until  end of the weekend or  whore to doors  satisfy  the boys…  wonder if anyof the whores will leave emblems in  my bed… or break a post of my bed.. this time…  God i hate them…. and pray that justice is done to them .. here and they go to hell as well…..   they are not forgiven.. i met with father len last week… and he tried to convince me that these criminals deserve  to be  forgiven… but i am cnfirmed in my belief.. i willnever forgive them… NEVER!

Thursday June 9th 2011@3:51pm ( What duties do congressmen have)

What Duties Do Congressmen Have?

?

The U.S. House
of Representatives has 435 members elected based on the population of
each of the 50 states. Congressmen serve their congressional districts
in two-year terms and have several duties from legislative
responsibilities to making the best decisions for their constituents as
their representatives and links to the federal government.

  1. Proposing Laws

    • One of the main duties congressmen have is to write, propose and help to pass federal laws. The House of Representatives is solely responsible of proposing bills concerning taxation and federal spending policies.

    Voting

    • Congressmen need to make
      decisions every day. Therefore, congressmen need to be familiar with
      several topics, able to evaluate information from multiple sources and
      make decisions benefiting their constituents based on the knowledge and
      information they have. In addition, congressmen are responsible of
      deciding whether an official should be tried in impeachment proceedings.

    Serving in Committees

    • Congressmen usually serve on two
      committees. To be able to serve as a member of any committee, the
      congressman needs to become an expert in the topics his committee
      assignments include. In addition, the congressman needs to attend
      meetings, question witnesses, prepare amendments to bills, vote and
      write committee reports.

    Representing Constituents

    • A congressman represents about
      650,000 people from the state congressional district he or she was
      elected from. To be able to represent the constituents, the congressman
      needs to follow the local media and visit the district to act as the
      link between the district and the federal government. Besides giving a
      voice to their constituents, congressmen also help their districts to
      get federal funding for projects and programs and advice their
      constituents of how to apply for federal benefits and grants.

    Managing an Office

    • Congressmen can have 22 staff
      members in their Washington and district offices. Each congressman runs
      his or her own office, supervises the office staff, budgets personal and
      office expenses and balances the expenses at the end of the fiscal
      year.

    Maintaining Campaign Organization

    • Congressmen run their own
      election and reelection campaigns. As part of the campaigning,
      congressmen need to organize and attend fundraising events, make public appearances, take positions on issues and create campaign strategies.

      Thursday June 9th 2011( duties of a congressman)

      Job Description of a Congressman

      ?

      Congressmen are publicly
      elected officials of the United States government. They hail from each
      state and are responsible for making the laws
      that affect the lives of every citizen. Congressmen help decide many
      issues, including the federal tax rates, the minimum wage that employers
      must pay their workers, and how to spend the government’s money.

      1. Qualifications

        • Congress is divided into two houses–the House of Representatives and the Senate–and there are different qualifications for serving in each.

          Representatives–the gender-neutral term for congressmen and
          congresswomen–must be at least 25 years old, citizens of the United
          States for at least seven years and residents of the state they
          represent.

          Senators must be at least 30 years old, United States citizens for at
          least nine years and residents of the state they represent.

        Election and terms

        • Congressmen are elected by the
          residents of the state they represent. Members of the House serve for
          two years, and members of the Senate serve for six.

          In the event that a congressman cannot complete a term, the process
          of replacing that person varies from state to state. Some states hold
          special elections, whereas others allow their governors to appoint a
          replacement.

          Each state elects two senators and a varying number of
          representatives, based proportionally on the state’s population. The
          Senate has 100 members and the House of Representatives has 435.

        Responsibilities and duties

        • The U.S. Constitution clearly
          enumerates the responsibilities of Congress. They include regulating
          domestic and international trade, declaring war and maintaining and
          supporting the military.

          Congressmen’s duties vary according to their stature and party affiliation. Both of the two major political parties
          have a leader in each House (called either the majority leader or the
          minority leader, depending on which party has more members in the
          House). Party leaders are responsible for maintaining diplomatic
          relations with one another and with other branches of the government.

          Each house also has many committees that focus on a particular
          responsibility. Some examples include energy, veterans’ affairs, housing
          and foreign relations. Some committees have broad responsibilities,
          such as the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.

          One of the most common duties of a congressman is act as a conduit
          between the federal government and the local authorities and residents
          of the areas they represent. A local police force, for example, might
          ask a congressman for help receiving money or other services from the
          Department of Justice. A local unit of a veterans’ organization, such
          as the American Legion, might likewise ask a congressman for support in
          obtaining something from the Veterans Administration.

        Salary

        • Members of Congress receive
          annual salaries. They pay is not set specifically in the Constitution.
          It changes according to the cost of living and other economic
          conditions. The base pay for a congressman exceeds $150,000.

        Checks and balances

        • The three branches of government
          — legislative, executive and judicial — were given certain powers so
          that no one branch would have too much power. Congress, for example,
          approves laws and sends them to the president. The president can reject,
          or veto, those laws, but Congress can in turn override that decision.

          Congress also has the sole authority of removing the president from office.

        Fun fact

        • The vice president is the
          president of the Senate but votes only in the event of a tie. The House
          is led by the Speaker, who stands third in the line of succession for
          the presidency. Because naturalized citizens are not eligible to serve
          as president, the Senate must elect a Speaker who is a natural-born
          citizen of the United States.

        The Speaker is second in line of succession. The third is the President Pro Tempore.

        Thursday June 9th 2011 @3:07pm Called and spoke with the office of Congressman( details)

        Cliff sterns who was featured on the  c-span program with a few other  congressmen  concerning  the illegal uses and harmful effects of  manipulating phones though various  methods…one being  spoof cards… I spoke with his representative in Gainesville Florida ( Jean Clough ). I wanted to see what progress  has been made on the work he has done concerning the laws…. and wanted to know how the  laws were assisting  others in prosecuting   the damages brought on  by misusing these spoof cards..( ie changing phone  caller id’s and even  changing  voices from men to women through the use of various computer programs…)

        In particular I wanted to know if he or one of the representatives could  tell me about the woman who had been told over the phone to take a certain  medication by a jealous woman who had spoofed the pharmacy ‘s telephone and given the  misguided instructions causing the victim to lose her baby….

         Did the laws cover the damages…. as in a murder? was the criminal who used the pharmacy’s phone  number as their spoof ed caller id… was she charged with all the crimes? and what were her penalties?  I personally hope she had the maximum possible… 

        Jean couldnt answer any of those questions… but told me that i could email her and hopefully i could set up an appointment  to  bring to attention all the  material in this website and blog to help to promote legislature stopping any of this from happening to anyone else ever… no one should have their lives ruined.. and  their hopes and  dreams stolen…. especially  through the use of criminal means and by breaking laws …. I hate criminals……. con artists.. and the selfish  horrid people who  not only inflict emotional distress…and damages.. but also should be put in jail and held accountable for all their  treacherous actions…  did i mention i hate criminals?
