3. Sam, I just want to take a minute to thank you for saving my life. Just after you had prostate cancer you did a show on diagnosing this form of cancer early with the PSA. My primary care doctor scoffed and said it was not accurate. I insisted. Three years later I was diagnosed with an agressive form. Had a radical prostectomy and am a cancer survivor today. Thank you Sam. God be with you

4. Why is it so difficult for Congress to send the immigrants back home. Just don't give out green cards or food stamps. Obama said in an ad on TV that Duckworth and him both are against giving social security to the illegal immigrants but he voted in favor of it. He also voted not to make English the American language. Who do you trust.
Thank you.

5. Everyone is quick to blame the President as if he was the sole responsible for the Irak mess. Don't you think that the media should share some of the blame ?

6. I thought this left handed A*& H#%& Liberal retired or got fired. Why in the world anyone want to ask someone who misreported the truth for years any question? That's a question not a statement.

7. Why does the news media cover up Kerry’s remarks about the US Military? Since 1971 Kerry has degraded the military and the news media calls him a war hero. If a Republican would have said the same thing Kerry said the news media would want his hide, demand his resonation and run him out of the country. Why so soft on Kerry?

8. I don't for 1 minute believe that the Media is Bias in favor of the Democrats. The Media's Bias over the last 8 years is what got Pres. Bush elected twice. They have rigorously defended him throughout his presidency. Today's so-called affront to Bush's reign is the Media's camouflage for acquiescing Bush's efforts in bringing this country to near destruction. Inlight of that, why can't Sen. Kerry and his own collection of boneheads take this gift CNN, FOX, etc. and keep their damned mouths shut???

11. Ex-NYC Mayor Guiliana wants to get rid of sound bits and talk about issues. What a lark? He wants the press to talk about his sorry record as Mayor, his penchant for divisiveness and worst of all how he failed to lead in the development of a good communications system between NYC Police and firemmen that may have saved lives on 9/11. Or he might wish to discuss his idea of placing the City's emergency office in a building near the WTC.
There is more - the recent story in Forbes about the friends he keeps and the way he announced his divorce from his second wife. Had 9/11 never come along, an event on which he has immorally profited, who would be talking about this idiot? If he were so popular and appealing, why didn't he run for NY State senate or Governor?

12. Here is a start? My Twelve year old son, which is 3rd generation born in the U.S. recently asked me the following question.

When is it that you are considered an American? I asked why?
He proceed to inform me, that recently it was confusing to him that why do we have to apply labels to identfy ourselves as Americans and
why is it always our hertiage before the word American?
Now, it seems to me our Governement is always looking for political correctness, but never
looks at it correctly or honestly.

Should it be for all concerned: First American and then Heritage. Say like American Irish, American Blacks,American Italian etc.. It followed with another question that I thought was cute. He asked what exactly is a White Caucasion? I Told him I was not sure... Maybe you can clarify this intelligently. I do hope we start electing, some honest, ethical and intelligent politician rather
that all these folks with special interest at heart. We really need to take care of all Americans.

13. Illegal Immigration: Its a very simple. They must return home.Its not an issue, it is the law. It becomes very simple as follows:

1. No right to work unless legal permit..
2. Strong Fines and prison or community service for all employers who hire an illegal immigrant.
3. Work permits if and only if the Nations unemployment rate reaches 1%, (As does the Swiss), and it would only be temporary, does not give them a path to citizenship.
4.Immigration filing outside the country, not in the country. Embassy and consultes only.They do absolutely nothing anyway. Oh, with a fair oversight commitee.
5. No business or vistor or non immigrant visa, without planned and monitored stays, with legal and financial responsibilty on the host.

6.No social security benefits for residents or non immigrants.They either become American citizen after 3-years as residents or no beneifits, and in all cases the US should recognize dual citizenship.

7.No social services for illegal immigrants or non immigrants.Must be warranted, insured and bonded by employers, or no social service or private hospital care.
8. No long term, meaning no more than one year,rentals to legal immigrants with work permits and companies must insure and bond them.

9.Investors must apply accordingly to the law or hire Americans to manage the investment.

10.Limits on all monies that can be sent back to families overseas, to $5000.00 per year.

11.Foriegn Students as well, need to be financial, insured and bonded and apply accordingly.

12.Anyone violating the law, will be returned and not permitted ever to apply or enter the US.


There is probably more we can do, to be highly selective of our immigration. We do have to remember, it is a privilegde to be an American.
BUt first lets protect our borders and ports.

14. Our Governement and private sectors studies and research show that the poverty line is defined as
anyone that does not make atleast $25,000.00 per year. This should be for most, including these intelligent politicians. The minimu wage law, including salaries and commisions should be based
on $25,000.00 per year. Being so, if it were to happen, then we need to fix offshore investing to
an equal balance. 1 to 1 bases, 1 value for 1 value.We export 1-commodity and the other countries
are limited to export to us 1-commodity that is
not quota filled. There will be exceptions to the rule.but in the end of each year it must zero or
the country is penalized.Oh and it must be equal in value. This will keep jobs at home.

15. Mr. Donaldson: Are you a Vulcan? My nurse says you're a Vulcan, but you look more like a Romulan to me, because your ears are your only normal-looking feature...sort of.
