Now

My dad doesn't think it can happen. The cards are already stacked, and what happens now is just noise.

He may very well be correct - it's more likely than not. But right is right, and I can't just sit back resignedly and wait for the worst to happen to my neighbors and my child, any more than I can just sit back and wait for the worst to happen to me. They may say I'm doomed, I may even think they are probably right, but I'm not going to go quietly.

So. Here's a bit of noise, and I've written to my representatives in D.C. to make sure they can hear it. They can plug their ears, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't speak the truth.

I know something needs to be done, it was torture to get medical help for my son when out of work-there were lots of agencies to help immigrants but he was 'too white' for any of the programs. I just cringe at looking to the government for help-they screw up everything they touch!!!

Eileen you are a sweetie and a compasionate person, but big gov isn't the answer! Either is socialized goverment. I want my constituion back and to be responsible for my self!! There I said and I'd say it again LOL
