I am in DFW area, closest to Arlington,TX. I have no money to donate to the cause, but I can make signs, show up to peaceful protests. Persistently question my rep.s and rep.s in other states in person locally and by phone, letter and internet campaigns. Things are moving so quickly that I keep hearing about actions that had taken place in my area after the fact.<br /><br />If there is someone who can provide contact information for organized campaigns against the Trump agenda, I would be extremely appreciative. Please contact me if you have and information that may be helpful to me. THANKS!!!!

If there ever was an honest, deeply committed elected official from El Paso County, you can be sure Teran would be among them. Teran's desire to improve the lives of our people goes back to his youth. We were both students at TWC when both of us joined other students to register 15,000 southside residents to vote. As students, we were all disgusted with the politics of the era, and we decided to change things.<BR/>Teran continued working on projects beneficial to raza. Moon City got its water, but it was Teran who brought a handfull of dignitaries and asked them to drink a glass of water from the same tap that residents were forced to drink from. Teran later moved to Iowa, where the governor of that state appointed him to assist migrant workers. When he returned to El Paso County, the voters elected him Commissioner. They knew him, they know him, and they will continue supporting him because he is committed to changing things for the better of the community.<BR/>The politicalization of the Justice Department has been reported throughout the country. Prosecutors have been asked to investigate Democrat elected officials, and have been removed for not following directions.<BR/>In the case of El Paso, the investigation has sold a lot of newspapers - but they got the wrong target.<BR/>Contract rigging and sole-sourcing contracts are in full bloom in other places. Check the stories concerning Blackwater, Enron, Haliburton, Army Maj. John L. Cockerham and Oscar Wyatt - these are the real stories!<BR/>I urge all my friends and family members to continue supporting Miguel Teran - he is as committed as he ever was.<BR/>Cruz S.

Gordon Dickson told me that "they got a special act of Congress to allow a pilot program on valuation so that the center lane of I-30 can be a tolled HOV lane!" Gordon said that when they were presenting the concept of the Cowboy Stadium there was an animated view of cars going along I-30 in the center lane of I-30 on the City of Arlington website. He says it wasn't labeled toll but was an HOV lane. <BR/><BR/>The 2030 Moblity Plan shows 675 miles of toll lanes, but those are the state highway projects which TxDot is working to get built with this surplus toll revenue money raising/er citizen fleecing scheme.<BR/><BR/>They have managed to put it out there enough to say they shared it with the people yet not enough for it to resonate with the people enough for most folks to realize what is coming down the pike... and this time it is literally the old tollroad turnpike. <BR/><BR/>The one project folks up here think happened right was the DFW Turnpike becoming I-30 when enough tolls had been collected to pay off the bonds.

As a result, the US Dept of Transporation is saying the Highway Trust Fund will go backrupt in 2009. The only way to continue building roads without a fuel gas tax increase is to oursource the building and make the roads toll roads. If we don't want to outsource, are we then ready to say it's ok to raise these gas taxes? Roads aren't built by the tooth fairy you know. We can't have our roads without paying for them.

How wise do you think it is to legislate that on-line brokers must collect and retain customer's SSN? Most of my shopping is on-line now, but I suspect that I'd be very hesitant to shop on line if I had to give my SSN. Once a person deals with ID Theft, they are enmeshed in a costly, time-consuming process to regain their assets. Handing over our SSN when we make purchases or sell items on-line would definitely make me stop and think more than twice before using an on-line shopping cart.Faith Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705441713246434955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31173009.post-40699154511998279282007-05-12T13:44:00.000-05:002007-05-12T13:44:00.000-05:00Thanks Sal.
