August 9th 2010 20:44
They are toting it as the Jobs Bill - the senate approved the bill and
the Speaker of the House has asked all of the Congressmen and women to
return to Washington to vote on this 26 billion dollar amendment. I

flood your Congressperson with your opinion as to whether you like this

First let me say that the Administration is saying it will help retain
100,000 teachers. I loved many of my teachers and thought they were
terrific and I learned but that was a different time where they could
give me a red x and a low grade even though my logic was right and the
steps were correct if the answer was wrong - IT WAS WRONG. However there
are reasons why teachers might be laid off. Such as are there enough
students in the class, are there enough students at the school to keep
it open? Because the school is not measuring up to the parents
standards have they decided that home schooling their children is better
than sending them to school? Is there a charter school that is meeting
the student's needs more effectively then the school or teacher(s) the
administration wants to bailout? Please, before you spend more of my
money tell me why these teachers need a bailout. Please have a good
reason then we did not want more people out of work and 100,000 people
would raise the unemployment number to the steady 9.5%.

Affairs--Indian Guaranteed Loan Program Account'' in title VII of
division A of Public Law 111-5, $6,820,000 are rescinded."
Some of the monies that the government is rescinding are for our troops
and for operations and maintenance of military bases and or equipment.
Some of the money being taken back is money for research and development
on new technology in order to help pay for this amendment (it does not
cover every penny so we are going to pay) and my guess is this
administration does not know if this money has been spent or contracts
in place and to rescind or terminate these contracts could have the
government paying out money and getting nothing in return.
I am not sure that our servicemen should have to pay for the spending of
this administration when they have yet to address the need for spending
this much money in the first place.
So read quickly and call or email your legislator. You have a voice use
it but remember make your decision. Do not read or listen to the pundits
and call or email your congressman or woman.
