Would you reduce your personal interest and liberty for the greater good of the nation?

I asked this before, and people said to be more specific.

OK, things like the last election cost $5.8 billion, with taxpayer money going to advertising companies, lawyers, public servants who administer the election and various other interest groups. Now would you want to reduce your liberty in abolishing the voting system so that this money can be spent on building schools, hospitals and creating jobs for your family?

Things like the current budget crisis, the Tea Party is trying to get more federal funding in their states to get more votes, would you put aside your political interest for the greater good of the nation and the average American?

America have more police and prisoners than China, even though US have at least 3 times less the population. This is a FACT. Would you put away your liberty to own guns as your hobby for the greater good of the nation?

During Hurrican Katrina, it was a big mess with people shooting guns at aid helicopters and looters rampant. Would you reduce your liberty for a tougher system like China, where police are given authority to shoot armed looters on sight and those prevent aid during a national emergency?

Last week I saw a man refuse to sell his house blocking a national highway, that cost the government millions in delays but he refuse to sell. Would you reduce your personal liberty like in China where government would forcibly remove your house after if you refuse compensation for delaying a national project?

where can i find free legal help to return my illegally confiscated possessions in mexico?

all of my life’s possessions including my home was confiscated illegally by the police in rosarito, mexico by gun point. all our money, home, financial means of employment, birth cirtificates, cars, and you name it, was stolen/taken from us as we were arrested and deported for nothing. we need an advisor. we have called just about everybody and agency, but everybody seems to back away when they find out that the cartel was behind this move to get one of their properties back. all we tried to do was start a non-profit clinic. i am a 61 year old veteran and my wife is 51. we just can’t start a whole new life again at the toss of a hat. we know that we’ll never get the money or the building back again, we just want our business & personal belongings. does anyone have any idea’s? we already tried the american consulate. they don’t want to get involved. it seems like all they are is a lawyer referrel system, which we cannot afford at this time. the mexicans made sure of that.

Do You Support The States That Filed “A Friend Of The Court” Brief For Arizona SB 1070D?

Last Wednesday, the attorneys general of eight states and one U.S. territory filed a “friend of the court” brief in the federal lawsuit (U.S.A. v. Arizona) to support Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. (Cox Press Release, July 14, 2010). Led by Michigan Attorney General Michael Cox, other signatories included the attorneys general from Florida, Alabama, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Because the federal court has limited the length of such amicus briefs, the states’ argument goes straight to the heart of the federal complaint: preemption.

In their brief, the states forcefully refute the Department of Justice’s argument that SB 1070 is preempted under the United States Constitution. First, they reject DOJ’s argument that SB 1070 constitutes an impermissible “regulation of immigration.” Case law, they argue, has defined a “regulation of immigration” as defining who should or should not be admitted into the country and the conditions under which a legal entrant may remain. SB 1070 does not do either. Moreover, the states point out that federal courts have long held that state law enforcement officers have inherent authority to arrest for violations of federal law as long as the arrest is authorized by state law. (Amicus Brief)

Second, the states reject DOJ’s argument that SB 1070 conflicts with federal laws such that it “stands as an obstacle to the accomplishment of the full purposes and objectives of Congress.” SB 1070, the states argue, is fully consistent with Congress’s intent of apprehending illegal aliens even if it does not facilitate the Executive’s wish to selectively abandon the enforcement of immigration laws. Moreover, the states argue, SB 1070 does not interfere with the Executive’s discretion in how it treats aliens as DOJ claims because the federal government still retains that discretion once Arizona law enforcement officers turn over an illegal alien to federal authorities. (Id.)

In a statement released with the brief, Michigan Attorney Michael Cox said, “Arizona, Michigan and every other state have the authority to enforce immigration laws, and it is appalling to see President Obama use taxpayer dollars to stop a state’s efforts to protect its own borders.” (Cox Press Release, July 14, 2010). Others who joined the brief sounded a similar note. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cucinelli remarked, “Federal law expressly allows states to arrest people who are not legally present in the United States. Arizona’s law doesn’t change any of this. That’s why we are stunned that the government has sued Arizona.” (Cucinelli Press Release, July 14, 2010). South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley said South Dakota joined the amicus brief because federal authorities aren’t doing enough to enforce current immigration laws. “We felt it was right for the state of South Dakota because this is really a public safety issue,” said Jackley. (KSFY.com, July 15, 2010)

Now that Florida Follows Arizona’s Lead With New Bill Cracking Down on Illegal aliens will Obama sue Florida?

Florida has joined Arizona on the front lines of battling illegal immigration with a new bill released this week that seeks to crack down on the estimated 800,000 undocumented workers in the state.

The bill, filed by state Sen. Michael Bennett, allows law enforcement officers to check the residency status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant and would punish some legal immigrants who aren’t carrying proper documentation.

Florida has been flirting with releasing an immigration bill since the summer when outgoing state Attorney General Bill McCollum wrote a similar proposal with state Rep. William Snyder. But Snyder has yet to file that bill.

Snyder told FoxNews.com that he’s in no rush to file his bill and expects to unveil it next month. He said he is consulting with state Attorney General-elect Pam Bondi and minority communities who are concerned about the bill promoting racial profiling.

“Filing a bill is just pushing a button,” he said. “I could do that in instant. Getting people behind the bill is what legislation is all about.”Bennett could not be reached for comment. A spokesman for Florida Gov.-elect Rick Scott, who campaigned on cracking down on illegal immigrants in the state, did not return a message seeking comment.

Bondi said she is still reviewing the details of Bennett’s bill but expressed support for such a law.

“I am committed to working with the legislature in support of an immigration law for Florida that protects the public, guards against racial profiling and upholds the rule of law,” she said in a written statement to FoxNews.com. “I will stand up to any effort by the federal government to stop Florida from implementing such a law.”

When injured at work, shouldn’t the company pick up the portion one pays from paycheck for insurance?

I was injured at work, and have been on disability for the past year now. Shouldn’t the company pick up the portion that I paid from my bi-weekly paycheck for my health insurance? The Company is now telling me I’m still responsible for paying them my portion that would be deducted from my paycheck so that my health insurance can be kept active (My disability check is small, and they expect me to still pay my portion from there)? Is this company cheap? Is this right/wrong? Should I get a lawyer?

What do you think of this idea to increase newspaper readership?

Obviously the decline of newspaper readership has led to an apathetic, ignorant and inattentive electorate, not to mention a less profitable industry.

What if the U.S. government regulated the media (especially newspapers and magazines) by certifying journalists?

For example, it is not possible to be a lawyer without graduating law school and passing the bar exam. Or it is not possible to practice medicine without attending medical school and completing a residency requirement.

How do you think such a law would positively or negatively affect newspaper readership?

I for one think that it would enhance the credibility of sources that employ certified journalists while diminishing the credibility of those that aren’t. As a result more people will read from the credible sources, which would be such publications as the Wall Street Journal and National Geographic rather than US Weekly or People.

Thoughts?

Can my kids refuse to go on visitation? Can the police do anything to force them?

My 9 year old son wants to go on a camping trip for Cub Scouts this weekend. His father was not interested in attending with him, and unfortunately it falls on my ex’s visitation weekend. My 13 year old has an 8th grade graduation dance this weekend and her father won’t allow her to stay home to attend that either, yet he won’t take her to dance himself. Both of my children have texted and called their Dad telling him they don’t want to go with him this weekend. He is ignoring them and will be coming at 7pm Friday. I offered to switch weekend with him and other options in order to save my kids from missing these events but he won’t even talk to me about it. I’m sure there will be a show-down tomorrow when he picks them up and he will call the police. Can the police force my kids to go? My attorney says they can’t..but what I’m reading on the internet says the opposite. Can anyone offer solid advice?

BTW..I live in Mchenry County, Illinois if that matters. And my ex willingly gives up visitation at the drop of a hat..hasn’t seen them in over a month by his choice ..always picks up late/ drops off early and leaves them home anytime he feels like it. He never calls them in between his weekends to say hello or attend their games etc. I have an email from him saying that if my kids have activities, basketball, Cub Souts..they can stay home..and now he’s done an about-face. This is basically a power play because he doesn t want my son spending time with my family on “his time”.
In response to the two answers so far…

#1. I am not “creating activities” to keep my kids away from their father. I have four children with this man. They have ALWAYS been in sports , involved in school etc. Their lives should not have to come to a halt bc of his visitation. He can attend their games and parent them just as well as I can. He asked me..in front of my son.. if he could sign my sign up for Cub Scouts at the beginning of the school year. I said absolutely..I said he could take my son to his meetings and events even if it wasn’t “his time” with his son. He then told my son weeks later that he shouldn’t have to take him to Cub Scouts..that I should do it.
I DID ask about the camping trip. He said my son could go..but he didnt’ want to take him!
The school dance does not have to be a susbstitution for his weekend. He can TAKE HER to her dance and be a parent, no? This dance is much like a homecoming…a DAd should be happy to share that with his daughter and buy her a cors

Married in Arkansas but live in Alabama. How would someone go about getting a divorce.?

My son was married in December of 2009 but him and his wife separated in April of 2010. There are no kids involved or property and this is a non-contested divorce.

Is it OK to contact the Plaintiff’s lawyer when being sued?

I’m being sued in a Civil case in which the Plaintiff is trying to collect on a junk debt. I wrote a Pro Se Answer to both the court and the Plaintiff’s lawyer explaining that either the debt is passed the Statute of Limitations or they are trying to collect on loans that are already being paid and attached paperwork to prove it.

I was wondering if I could call their lawyer to see if they’ve reviewed my answer and realized that the debt is non-collectible.

Is there a site that reviews lawyers?

Do you think Tom Corbett is a hypocrite?

Corbett knew about the Penn State allegations in his previous position as state attorney general. Corbett then condemns the university for not reacting better, when he had higher authority to do so? He had the ability to get rid of the higher ups at PSU years ago but did not do so. Rather he pissed on PSU and Joe Paterno for not doing enough. Then today he orders flags around PA to flown at half-staff for a man whom he pissed on and degraded his university when Corbett himself could of done more.

Have you ever voted for someone from the opposite political party?

So, if you’re a Dem, have you ever voted for a Rep, and vice versa. Preferably a Senator, Governor, or President, someone that you can remember voting for. Say who it was, and why you voted that way. I’m a registered Dem, but I voted for a Rep for Governor here in PA last November. I thought he showed stronger leadership skills, and I thought he had some better experience, since he was state Attorney General. Post up! Thanks

PA: Out with Rendell, in with Tom Corbett. Your thoughts?

I am happy about it. I voted for Corbett when he ran for attorney general. The only thing that Rendell did that I liked was that he kept the Penguins in Pittsburgh. Other than that he was completely detrimental to Pennsylvania. I am looking forward to Tom Corbett governing us.

What do I do about an attorneys office that is calling my home?

My husband and I rented a clarinet for my daughter for school and we truly forgot to return it – now we have an attorneys office calling our home telling us that we have stolen equiipment! my husband explained the situation and he did not want to hear it, he threatend my husband with a bill of $639.00 and told him that we had to pay and could not return the clarinet to the company, when my husband asked for his name he refused to give it to him and hung up on him. At that point my husband called him back to try and resolve the situation and the attorneys office told him that he did not want him to pay the bill but in fact wanted him to pay by suffering with the police that would be showing up at my door to arrest him with possession of stolen property and then told my husband that he better get himself a good attorney becasue he is about to have a terrible week, and if he called his office again he was going to have him charged with harrasement. What can I do?

Approved for unemployment in California and never got money, Can I still get retro pay?

In 2007 I had a hearing and was approved for Unemployment and my case worker never sent me the weekly forms and when I would call he never helped me. I got all the forms late and was denied any money to that point, about 5 months in. He never sent out any other forms but I never did anything about that. 2010 now, can I get retro pay? Could a lawyer help me or public defender? What can I do?

More proof that the wage gap is a myth ?

“A study of data concerning graduates of the University of Michigan Law School showed no significant difference between men and women who had children yet didn’t interrupt their careers or work part-time to take care of them. However, it revealed a significant gap between those attorneys and their colleagues—both male and female—who put their careers on pause for several years to stay home with the kids…”

i am an american my husband is an illegal immigrant and we have a daughter. any solutions for papers?

I am a born american. i married a man 3 years ago who swam from Guatemala 7 years ago. we have a 1 year old daughter. my husband was caught in texas when swimming and they released him on a year visa when the year was up he was meant to go to court to be deported and he never showed. so my husband currently has deport status. all the lawyers tell me there is nothing i can do other than have my husband go back to guatemala and wait for 10 years then petition for him, unfortunately that is not an option because my husband is the only bread winner in his entire family in Guatemala and we send them money weekly just to eat and have electric. Has anyone had a similar situation that can advise to what we should do? my husband is in no rush to get papers its me worried that something could happen and he’ll get deported. He has never been in any trouble here with the police other than when he was caught in Texas. Please Advise. Desperately seeking advise.
