They proudly proclaim that when they are elected president, national health care will be one of their priorities. My question is ,why aren't the candidates, who are in congress, proposing legislation now to address this problem using their plan? Why are they wasting time to be elected and sworn in as president? People are suffering and sometimes dying because of the lack of health care!! Here is a chance to show us they mean what they say TODAY, not a year from now.

Cheney is one of the worst terrorists in existence. By creating and acting on a plan for world dominance using military force, Cheney via Bush has created a horrifying position for Americans. Do not believe that because he only has 300+ days left, that they cannot make things worse. Cheney and company will use all the hype and attention with the presidential campaigns to slide more illegal acts past us. Keep on top of it. Do not let the media storm take your eyes off this man. Remember Nixon and his illegal wiretapping of opponents and theft of documents from the Democratic Party offices? By using warrantless surveillance of suspected terrorists, imagine what Cheney could do for the Republican Party in this election. Remember, this surveillance is used on all phone calls and internet usage, not just on a targeted few. It has been reported that the government has an office at the AT&T headquarters so they can monitor all calls. Keep in touch with your Congress members. Keep pressing them to do away with this surveillance. We cannot afford to allow this administration any more open and easy access into our lives via phone calls and internet usage.

He and his type have made this nation a nation that now finds its self on a list warning countries that individuals may be tortured. We are no longer respected but despised, a human rights violater and a nation that 20 years ago we would not do trade with due to human right violations. We do not need new legislation surveillance of suspected terrorists, we need to start following our Constitution and laws that are correct and on the books in dealing with crimminals. Terrorists are nothing special, they are crimminals and to treat them any other way falls right into line with what they want. Franklin said it best when he warned the Congress that they had better beware of what rights and freedoms they were willing to give up to ensure security, or they would awaken and find that they had no rights or security. A great American Dick Cheney, more than willing to send our soldiers off to war, after all he had six draft deferments, because he had more important things to do than defend our nation. Impeach Cheney. Having grown up in the greatest nation in the world, a nation respected for its courts and freedoms, I say who cares what the Cheney says.

His policies have wrecked US foreign relations, killed thousands of Americans, thousands more Iraqis and he created the biggest deficit in US history as we stare down at an approaching recession.

Normally I don't suppose they would ever risk violating the privacy of so many of their customers. Unfortunately for us, 2.6 million federal employees need phone service.
