Not sure if many of you know about Michigan and the many troubles it has. Unemployment is one of the highest in the Nation, I wonder if any other country is higher than ours really. Let me give you a summary to compare. {Information provided by http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm}
Overall, 21 states and the District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate decreases, 18 states registered increases, and 11states had no changes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the year, jobless rates declined in 27 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 21 states, and were unchanged in 2 states. The national unemployment rate remained at 4.6 percent in August.
Over the year, 34 states posted statistically significant changes in employment. Of these states, all posted gains but one. The largest employment gains occurred in Texas (+229,000), California (+163,300), and Florida (+119,500). The statistically significant over-the-year employment decline occurred in Michigan (-56,400). Seven states recorded statistically significant increases in employment that were less than 15,000: Montana (+14,600), New Mexico (+12,900), Hawaii (+11,800), South Dakota and Wyoming (+9,300 each), North Dakota (+8,200), and Delaware (+6,100). Michigan ... 7.4 %
Now that is just the unemployment, now lets break it down even further shall we? {information from http://www.spmichigan.org/news.php?extend.70}
Home foreclosures nationally last year rose 42% to a record of .54% of Americans with a mortgage facing foreclosure in the last quarter of 2006. According to a report from the Mortgage Bankers Association, Michigan, along with Indiana and Ohio, is now leading the nation in foreclosures with a foreclosure rate of 2.39% and a delinquency rate of 7.87% in last year’s final quarter.
In Michigan in particular, however, the recent explosion of foreclosures is symptomatic of the state’s economic fall-out resulting from the race to the bottom of its top employers. Since 2001 Michigan has lost 336,000 jobs.
Now I wanted to start things off this way, as some of you may not understand most of this being from a state that has an increase in jobs. So then, how do I say it...Our Governor has really made things worse instead of better to help balance our budget. This is just the start (as this was needed to pass so that the Government didn't shut down)
Increase to the state's personal income tax rate to 4.35% and to expand the state's sales tax to number of high-end discretionary services, including interior design, landscaping, and personal care services such as massages and manicures. The combination of taxes is expected to cost the average person approximately 1$ per week, {Love how the break down seems to be such a low number} The list goes on...and again this was just the one that our Governor wanted and our Lawmakers gave in, as it was the double bladed sword given. As if this was not passed, then the Governor was going to declare a Shutdown! This buys more time for all the other behind the scene that we are all sitting here waiting on pins and needles awaiting for phase two.
Most of us here, are barely getting by. Some of us don't even make a decent wage let alone have health insurance; or if its offered through their employment they need every last penny to their paycheck to survive, and cannot afford the cost that is being charged.
A lot more people in Michigan are leaving this State, and personally if the job came around for myself, I am gone. I know right now with the rate things are going in this State, my daughter maybe around 30 before we start to see some light at the end of the tunnel. By the way she is 13 now. I hope that some of you that are from this state are writing to our Lawmakers and making your voice be heard. I would like to share with you a site if you are from Michigan, that has caught my attention. Take a peek and see what you think, I mean really here is a person that cares and is taking action. www.savemymichigan.com ~Mare

Its almost like you start feeling worn down. We have to work, provide for our families and then to protect our families we are catching up on all the current events so that we can write letters to our elected officials. You find yourself tired and barely able to make a sentence..but you push on. You want to make a difference you want to be that one vote that is needed to tell them what they are thinking about is wrong/or right.
This is my introduction to what I am about to report from the news:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070917-9999-1n17return.html
By the time Jesús Ricardo Mendoza led police on a 90-mph chase down Interstate 215 in Riverside County two years ago, he had served four prison terms and had been deported four times already. Mendoza, 33, had been convicted of assault, vehicle theft, drug possession and illegal entry. Although he had immigrated legally from Mexico as a child, he had since lost his legal status and been deported first through Nogales, Ariz., then twice through San Ysidro, then Calexico. Each time, he came back.
The federal government has stepped up efforts in recent years to deport immigrants with criminal records, sending agents to comb prisons and jails for deportable inmates in the name of national security.
But data from the Border Patrol suggest that such efforts may be misfiring. Thousands of previously deported criminals are caught trying to slip back into the United States, and it's likely thousands more return unnoticed. Those caught are eventually kicked out again, making for a revolving door of lawbreakers.
Between last Oct. 1 and the end of August, a federal database the Border Patrol uses to identify illegal crossers with U.S. criminal records yielded 17,553 hits nationwide for violent and drug-related offenses.
Each hit represents an offense rather than an individual, said Lloyd Easterling, a spokesman for the agency in Washington, D.C., meaning that a person with two recorded offenses can show up as two hits. Still, he said, the data provide an idea of how often deported criminals try to return to the United States. In fiscal year 2006, when 88,970 people with criminal records were deported, the Border Patrol logged more than 69,000 hits for prior offenses – excluding immigration violations – among the 1.1 million illegal border crossers arrested nationwide.
Last year, 72 percent of the immigrants with criminal records who were deported were Mexicans, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. With the exception of a small number flown to the interior of Mexico, most were simply taken to ports of entry such as San Ysidro and sent through the pedestrian gate.
Officials in Tijuana and other border cities have long complained about problems created by an out-of-town criminal element deposited at their doorsteps. The flip side is that much of this floating population eventually makes its way back north. The incentive is especially strong for those who have spent much of their lives in the United States.
In San Diego, Border Patrol agents are accustomed to chasing down recently deported convicted criminals.
Some try to jump the border fence just a few dozen yards east of the port of entry. Others make their way back through East County, where ranchers find rocks on their property sprayed with gang graffiti and agents routinely encounter deported felons, some so fresh out of prison they're still wearing flimsy jail-issued sneakers.
“We pulled over a van, and two of them handed us their California corrections department cards as ID,” said R.K. Smith, the agent in charge of the Border Patrol's checkpoint on state Route 94 in Dulzura. Growing trendThe federal government's current focus on deporting immigrants with criminal records dates to the late 1980s but has gathered steam in recent years.
Changes to immigration laws in 1996 made it easier to deport legal residents convicted of an aggravated felony or of petty crimes committed more than once within a certain time frame; at the same time, the definition of an aggravated felony was greatly expanded.
The latest push to find and deport immigrants with criminal records stems from the Secure Border Initiative, a 2005 plan that calls for screening 90 percent of all foreign-born state and federal inmates for immigration status by fall 2008, with the goal of deporting them once they have served their sentences. Similar screening in the jails of major metropolitan areas is expected by late 2009.
In its Homeland Security budget request for 2008, the Bush administration has asked for $28.7 million to add 22 new teams of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to the agency's Criminal Alien Program.
“The reason we focus on the jails is it just makes sense,” said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for the agency in San Diego. “Once they get out of jail, they become very difficult to locate. Why not use our resources inside the jails, where we have them in a limited, contained environment, and they are immediately there for us to take.”
Effectiveness at issueWhile the number of deported immigrants with criminal records has more than doubled since 1996, when 38,015 were removed, it's the long-term effectiveness of these policies that is questioned by critics, who see them as just recycling criminals back and forth across the border.
Nationwide, ICE agents searching prisons and jails have identified more than twice as many deportable inmates this year than last.
Simply depositing these individuals at the border, some lacking even Spanish language skills, does not make for sound national security policy, said David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego.
“It's a completely head-in-the-sand approach,” Shirk said. “If you come from East L.A. and you came here when you were 3 years old, and you're going back to Mexico or Central America, you do not have the coping skills to deal with that society . . . It's ultimately going to come and bite us in the end.”
Shirk criticizes the removal policies for contributing to the proliferation of transnational gangs, which have become a security threat as gang members deported to Central America have formed extensive organized crime networks.
On her Boulevard property, which is crisscrossed with migrant trails, ranch owner Donna Tisdale has found rocks tagged with what she believes is gang graffiti.
“I am glad they are deporting them, but it is just a revolving door,” Tisdale said.
This year, the owner of the Barrett Junction Cafe in Dulzura decided to take the pay phone off his porch to discourage loiterers, many of whom were calling for rides to the Los Angeles area.
“These guys out there on the porch don't make for good business,” said cafe owner Leon Herzog. With the pay phone gone, now “the guys come here and try to use my phone, saying 'my brother is in Long Beach.' ”
Herzog, who routinely calls the Border Patrol, said most of those who show up at the cafe appear relatively harmless. The agents who pick them up say otherwise.
“If we get a citizen's call from the Barrett Cafe, you pretty much know you are going to be doing casework,” said agent James Jacques of the Border Patrol, who spent several months working at the state Route 94 checkpoint last year. “There's a 50-50 chance it will be a returning criminal alien, or in my experience, more like 80 percent.”
It was difficult to estimate how many deported criminals were returning until recently because the FBI-linked fingerprint database, known as the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System or IAFIS, wasn't rolled out to most Border Patrol stations and ports of entry until 2004.
“We did not have the technology,” said agent Smith. “But I would see the prison tattoo on their neck, the three tears for the assassination, the prison shoes.”
When he first began using the database, Smith tallied the hits just for his checkpoint's jurisdiction, between Brown Field in Otay Mesa and the Tecate port of entry on state Route 94. He calculated that about 3 out of 20 arrests, or 15 percent, involved a returning criminal.
Between the start of fiscal year 2007 last Oct. 1 and the end of August, there were 133,620 total hits on the database. More than half were for immigration violations, typically an administrative offense. The rest include crimes ranging from homicide (286) and assault (5,078) to drug-related offenses (10,843), and minor violations such as traffic (7,915) and gambling offenses (41).
There have been fewer total hits so far this year than last, agency spokesman Easterling said, because overall apprehensions are down.
More jail timeMendoza, the four-time deportee, was wrapping up yet another prison sentence – punishment for the car chase – when San Diego ICE agents picked him up at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County this year. Rather than deport him again, the standard approach, they charged him with illegal re-entry after deportation, a felony.
In San Diego and several other cities, the agency has set up prosecution units to deal with criminal deportees in the hope that more jail time will dissuade them from coming back again.
“We created this unit in response to the growing numbers of criminal aliens returning across the border,” Mack said. “We're trying to use prosecution as a deterrent tool.”
Once he completes his new 57-month sentence, Mendoza, will be deported one more time – cycled back through the system and, some say, likely to return.
What is the point? The point is that we are letting way too many people into this country and its getting way out of control. We have laws and where are those laws? So I write and I take action as much as I can and I have a support system of keeping me informed of any new findings and laws that are about to be reached. I cannot stand the fact that there are people in the Untied States that were born and raised in this country that because they choose a different life style are going to become the bottom of the pile over people who come into this country illegally. It just doesn't make any sense. ~Mare

The Federal Reserve?
It was brought to my attention years ago.. My best friend was talking to me about this..and you know its kind of funny how things I know he has talked to me about are now all of a sudden coming out in the open..I always listen to what he had to say, it all made perferct sence..There was always the ones that made the comments " oh that will never happen", or " You are just paranoid"..and like he always told me " I would rather be paranoid then dead." So he had a book for me to read one day...years ago called the Creature from Jeckel Island..I never did read all of it but to say the least, from what I have read of this book..(is very long..and good reading, and informational) I can tell you most of what is in that book is coming from this article that I have just found on WorldNetDaily.com. I know there is so much going on in this country of ours..but if you take all that in and then read this, you can be rest assured that some of us that have been writing about the same thing day in and day out, really might have a purpose in what we are writing about? Do you think? Or are you still thinking that we are Paranoid? You be your own judge...Let me know what you think?
INSIDE THE FEDERAL RESERVE WND unveils comprehensive report on 'fraud of the century'
While millions of Americans look with awe to the Federal Reserve to protect the nation's financial well being, millions more mistrust the Fed, seeing it as an unaccountable, private banking cartel siphoning off citizens' wealth and manipulating America's economy for the benefit of a hidden elite.
Where does the truth lie? That's the question that's asked – and answered in-depth – in the July issue of WorldNetDaily's acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine
Titled "THE FEDERAL RESERVE: FRAUD OF THE CENTURY," Whistleblower documents authoritatively and with uncommon clarity how the "Federal Reserve" – which is neither part of the federal government, nor does it rely on monetary reserves – is an unconstitutional, unelected cartel that literally creates the devastating problems it was supposed to prevent.
Today, the entire Western financial world holds its breath every time the Fed chairman speaks, so influential are the central bank's decisions on markets, interest rates and the economy in general. Yet the Fed, supposedly created to smooth out business cycles and prevent disruptive economic downswings like the Great Depression, has actually done the opposite.
"From the Great Depression, to the stagflation of the seventies, to the burst of the dotcom bubble" in 2001, charges U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, "every economic downturn suffered by the country over the last 80 years can be traced to Federal Reserve policy."
While many Fed defenders claim it worked valiantly to prevent or minimize the ravages of the Great Depression, in reality the Fed caused the Depression and greatly increased the severity of its effects.
In fact, as July's Whistleblower documents, the Fed's new chairman, Ben Bernanke, admits that the Federal Reserve was responsible for the Great Depression. "We did it," Bernanke said, adding, "We're very sorry."
But the Fed's sins go way beyond the Great Depression. "Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, middle and working-class Americans have been victimized by a boom-and-bust monetary policy," said Paul, the congressman best known for his steadfast commitment to the U.S. Constitution.
"In addition," said the Texas Republican, "most Americans have suffered a steadily eroding purchasing power because of the Federal Reserve's inflationary policies. This represents a real, if hidden, tax imposed on the American people."
And that's just the beginning. In this special Whistleblower issue , the crucial subject of economics and money – often deliberately made overly complicated and confusing – is laid out in the clearest way possible.
Whistleblower takes readers on a stunning time-travel journey back to 1913, to a train on its way to Jekyll Island, just off the coast of southern Georgia, where America's wealthiest and most influential bankers got together in secret and hatched their plan for creating the private banking cartel that would control the American economy. It would deceptively be named the Federal Reserve to create the impression it is part of the federal government.
Without resorting to financial jargon or doubletalk, Whistleblower explains in plain, commonsense language exactly how the Fed works and how Americans' formerly gold-backed currency has been corrupted and much of their buying power lost, thanks to the Fed, and how this continues into the present.
Although today the governors of the Federal Reserve are literally the gods of the nation's money supply and financial policy, in previous eras of American history, leaders warned specifically against an unaccountable, unelected central bank:
"I sincerely believe ... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." – Thomas Jefferson
"Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money." – Daniel Webster
"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce." – James A. Garfield
"All the perplexities, confusion and distresses in America arise not from defects in the constitution or confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, as much from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." – John Adams
"For this issue of Whistleblower," said David Kupelian, managing editor of WND and Whistleblower, "we tried to remedy John Adams' concern over Americans' 'ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.' So we worked very hard to come up with the most credible, most understandable, yet comprehensive analysis of the Fed possible."
Kupelian added. "This issue will go a long way toward giving you the understanding you need – not only regarding this nation's extraordinarily deceitful banking and money system, but also, to help you make better financial and life decisions for the sake of yourself and your family." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50935
AWAKE THE SLEEPING GIANT
Well lately there has been talk about all the immigration, I know some of you must have heard..or you are living in a box..I have some things that I would like to get off my chest about this..I have first and foremost been spending alot of time on Yahoo answers on this topic, have been very awaken to alot of interesting information. I really think that this is going to start a very huge problem in the U.S..Hear me out first..Ask yourself this question:
Why did we have Laws about immigration to begin with? Do you really know? Or do you think that is one of those laws on the books that was made back in the 1800's that needs to be changed? Well what I am about to tell you isn't cool and if you do your Homework and notice things and start putting the puzzle together you will see there is just something really wrong with whats going on.
This is just one example of many to use as the reason behind the Illegal Immigrants: Headline for April 3, 2003 Mumps outbreak biggest since 1980s..Now I am not trying to sound germ phobic here but this was a big problem back in the day..before any immigrant came over there was INS at the boarding docks to document who was coming over this process was pretty good I found my Great Grandfather on the manifest list coming over from Italy. So now here we are 2006 and we have so much technology and we are failing ourselves in a big way..
News Headlines ABC Mumps Outbreak Swells Across Midwest...ok so maybe now I am getting a bit nervous about this..maybe I am crazy..wait no I am not..I know the facts I see what is going on...Ok so the protest goes on..but to have the RIGHT TO PROTEST DON'T YOU HAVE TO BE A LEGAL CITIZEN?Why is it I feel like I am losing more and more of my rights as a American to someone who just demanded to be Legal? There seems to be more and more problems coming up with these protest and if you are NOT paying attention and getting involved--at least write to your gov. I have nothing against Mexicans, or whoever and that would make no sense coming from me if you know me...its about process and laws and the word ILLEGAL a 1st grader can figure out. Then why is we are playing scratching everyone back?
Another complaint I have is all the ILLEGALS that are here..that are protesting..what about everyone else that followed the process and did the right thing..what if we give these protesters amnesty..Is that fair to the hard working immigrants that became Legal? This is just crazy...then thanks to my sister I find out this check this link out http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/8/11/230736.shtml
http://www.counterpunch.org/archive.html
But there is some hope for us but he is one man in the Senate seat and seems to be doing all he can but he is one..and he is mostly out voted and this my friends is the key on our next election whenever you are voting for anyone..His name is Ron Paul..check out his
http://www.counterpunch.org/paul03182004.html
I have never been on some debate team in school, never was into gov. team or any of that..but let me tell you ---YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INTO ALL THAT TO AWAKE THE SLEEPING GIANT..Come together Americans and stand up for what you know is right and feel again..I know what is right and bringing in that many Illegals at one time isn't right...Do your homework..Its not very often I get very passionate about something..but this is one of those things..Awake the sleeping Giant inside you..start to give a damn again.
Why did we have Laws about immigration to begin with? Do you really know? Or do you think that is one of those laws on the books that was made back in the 1800's that needs to be changed? Well what I am about to tell you isn't cool and if you do your Homework and notice things and start putting the puzzle together you will see there is just something really wrong with whats going on.

Then why is we are playing scratching everyone back?
Another complaint I have is all the ILLEGALS that are here..that are protesting..what about everyone else that followed the process and did the right thing..what if we give these protesters amnesty..Is that fair to the hard working immigrants that became Legal? This is just crazy...then thanks to my sister I find out this check this link out http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/8/11/230736.shtml

I have never been on some debate team in school, never was into gov. team or any of that..but let me tell you ---YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INTO ALL THAT TO AWAKE THE SLEEPING GIANT..Come together Americans and stand up for what you know is right and feel again..I know what is right and bringing in that many Illegals at one time isn't right...Do your homework..Its not very often I get very passionate about something..but this is one of those things..Awake the sleeping Giant inside you..start to give a damn again.

Election debate well for some
I have started to become more active in the election this year, then ever before. Why is that? Is it because I care more? Is it because I want to give back more?
No, actually I think I really know why; It is because I have started to see things in a different view, I became more wiser, and educated myself more to what has been going in this country and for that matter other countries. I have met many of people on the Internet, that have seen the same. I know lately here with the 2008 election bid coming up, I have been watching much of what I can from youtube debates. When I have been going there, I can tell you that for some reason I have noticed something that really ticked me off. I was watching Ron Paul going through his debate on Fox on 9/5 and as Ron Paul is answering the question, you can actually hear the others laughing at him. I thought to myself 'How rude' then the more it was happening, I started to get Mad.
I don't consider myself more of Republican or a Democrat..I am more for what makes since. Everything that Ron was talking about has brought my ear to attention. There is hope out there. I can actually say that for this man being a Senator for Texas he is about common sense period. I guess that is a laughing matter? There is so much more that I could go on and on about but see for yourself on the debate.

We the people of the United States
From the spring of 1798 through 1800, despite the official state of peace between the two nations..U.S. frigates battled the French Navy. John Adams hesitated to declare war (sound familiar) because he hoped the fighting would soon stop...He thought the French were too busy in Europe to continue bothering with North America. In September 1800, a second mission to Talleyrand negotiated a end to what had become known as the Quasi-War because it wasn't a declared war. France agreed to recognize the neutrality of U.S. shipping. In exchange, Adams agreed to increase trade with France. This treaty helped shipbuilders and merchants in port cities along the Atlantic coast. But the new trade policy did little for citizens in the interim, most of whom were either farmers or artisans. These people lived a self-contained life. Their work kept them cut off from the outside world (are we seeing a trend) Farming left them and their families little time for education. The men from the east coast, who ran the government were wealthy, well -educated, and out of touch with the lives and concerns of the rural farmer. One reason that Jefferson opposed life terms for senators was that he feared the creation of a class of politician's completely removed from the needs of the PEOPLE.
Ok, so there we have it in a nut shell...History..101 what we should of been taught..what our kids should be being taught..but no..there are several phrases in there that I can see why a Politician would not want our children of the future not to know any of that...Please by all means give me the argument that "this was back in the 1700-1800 things are much different now..ok..but we don't still have Farmers???? We are all a bunch of Farmers ..and if you are not a Politician you are a Farmer...I mean really think about it...Anyone ever hear of the British ...back around August 25, 1814 which British troops entered the capital and burned most of the nations important buildings? How about the invasion of Canada in July 1812? Any of this sounding like the ole saying of History repeating itself? There is a lot you can read about history and find there is a lot of repeating going on..except for yes..this is a totally different era..I agree..we have more technology..and that is what worries me..its not like cannons and gunpowder guns..you get the idea..Thank you for all of the men and woman who have served WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Gulf War, and now...I know it may seem like you have served for some crazy reason now..I mean heck look what we have home...But there are alot of us with you..we still believe in " WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES , IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION, ESTABLISH JUSTICE, INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE AND SECURE THE BLESSING OF LIBERTY TO OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY, DO ORDAIN AND ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
