Hope for the New year

Today is Tuesday December 30,2008 Time 5:45

There is a story I would like to share for the new year 2009. Hopefully this will give you hope about mankind. We went to visit my Aunt for Christmas, and she said she had lived in her apartment for 20 years and her rent was never raised so she raised the rent. She went and told her landlord she was going to pay him more money because he had never raised their rent. Tell me! Who does things like that? Well she did and I love her for it.

In 2009 make sure you find people that love and respect you like you do them no matter what your circumstances are, know that it will get better if you keep trying . Bad things happen two all of us and if we live though it, We become stronger. Being close to your family is so important. Even though close family has problems just like every one else. They pull together and make it though the tough times.

Thank You

People afraid to spend money because of job losses

Today is Saturday December 20, 2008 Time 4:26

People are afraid to spend money, because they have lost their jobs, lost money in the market or they just don't have any money. But their is a solution, if the government wants the American people to spend money, give the billions of dollars to the American people they are the ones that need a bail out. If they had money, some of them could save their homes, buy food, or buy a cars. And if they spend money, the economy would spring back. But we can't spend what we don't have.

The government tells us so many things and we don't believe them any more. The American people did not cause this to happen but again we are the ones paying the price . When these companies get bailed out they will still layoff people. They have money. They did not lose their homes. They have food. Their children still go to Private schools.

Government show some compassion to the American people.We need a bail out. Give us some big money and we will spend it. Then maybe we can start trusting again.

Thank You

Politicians gone mad with power

Today is Wednesday December 10 2008 Time 11:59

Politicians are mad with power.

It's time for a change and I think the young generation is ready. To take their place in a new society. If you have not being paying attention to what the vote can do. This is the change we have been waiting for. Get rid of the corruption. Evey thing that happen that concern the American people should be voted on. Like if we want a thousand dollar Ice sculpture that malts in to days. These are pretty things but ,what good is that if you don't have food? Shouldn't that money be put in the school system? All these expensive things the city buys that we have no say so over. We need health care, jobs, good schools and a safe place to live.

The first thing to do is to get rid of the corruption in Government and send them to jail.Then the massage will be "you do wrong you go to jail". We can not have our senators bagging to let criminals out of jail early. Dick Durbin shame, on you. The message you are sending you think you and you friends are better than The American people. "We pay you don't we?" We're tired of that kind of government. When you do the best for the American people you are doing the best for yourself .

We have the power to have it our way. I hope you know that.

Thank You

Stop the hating ... we need love

Today is Tuesday December 9,2008 Time 5:00

First I would like to wish every one a Happy Holiday and please have a safe and and Blessed New Year.

People stop hating.

How can people go to church and pray and come home and hate? When you hate others for no reason, you don't like who you are. You hate because some one has a better job than you, because some one has a bigger house than yours, because some kid is smarter than your kids. Hating takes lots of energy. What do you gain from hating? Unhappiness, and loneliness. when you look in the mirror, what do you see? A hater looking back at you.

Haters hurt everyone. Their always putting other people down because they think their better than everyone else. While they are hating they don't get to smell the roses. their is no beauty in the world for them. Love and kindness doesn't mean anything to them.

I'm glad I love Roses.

My husband and I are still in love and I am very happy

Thank You
Carmen

Have a better tomorrow, Sat Nov 22, 2008

Today is Saturday 22, November , 2008 Time 1:35

I had a great day today. I think I understand how to have a great day. When I am out I speak to every one, and If some one open a door or gives me something, I always say thank you. When I am driving I always try to let other drivers in because that is what you are suppose to do. Why Be in a hurry? It just makes you old before your time.Try to do something you like every day. Try not to let little things control you by getting you upset. Control your anger and walk away. When you control your anger then you control the outcome. We proved we have power now all we need to do is start using it. You don't have to be a hater. No one can take your Desire to be happy. I live in a war zone. But because I love my family so much, I know There is a way . I just haven thought of it yet.

I love my family and I really want them to have a better future than what I have. Man will always struggle but hopefully the struggle will be for a better tomorrow.

If you want a better tomorrow, start today.

Thank You
Carmen

Jon Burge and the need for punishment Mon 11-10-08

Today is Monday November 10, 2008 Time 8:28

You know what I see for the future, The youth coming forward to claim their destiny It's time for the old political machine to fade away. The youth has to reach back in the past to make things right. Like former Police lieutenant Jon Burge and others, torturing people to make them confess to crimes they did not commit. They new Burge was doing wrong. They fired him without making him pay for his crimes and not letting the people he tortured out of jail and like Edward vrdolyak who is being charged with receiving kick backs and bribery he has done lots of wrong now it's catching up with him and governor George Ryan convicted of corruption.The new generation are the ones bringing all these criminal to justice. The old machine was always there to help their friends stay out of jail.

You commit a crime and you are allowed to walk away with your pension. We have no sympathy.

I would like to thank all the people responsible for bringing these criminals to justice.


Thank youCarmen

Daley brushes off blame and puts it on families, Sun Nov. 9, 2008

Today is Sunday November 9, 2008 Time 12:43

I heard a speech on T.V.

That every one wants to blame the police and the Mayor for the violence in Chicago but they are not blaming themselves. Well part of that I agreed with.

We are all to blame. We want the City to do every thing about the violence in Chicago. But we don't want the police to arrest our kids when they are caught doing wrong.When they get our of hand at home we want the City to take them. We want the teachers to teach them discipline. and take care of their problems.

But you know what? those are your kids and that is your job.

If the mayor the teachers and the police do every thing,then what are you going to do.

The City and the parents should be working together. because we need each other.

You know the old saying it takes a village to raise a child.

If you are unhappy about the way things are going speak out let me hear your opinion.

Thank You
Carmen
