No Justice For Women in Wicomico County


Joe,

I know you are out of town with family. I am hoping you will forward this on to be posted. I am attaching a letter I received from the District Court.

I received this letter on October 7th, two days after the scheduled preliminary hearing. Jonathan Taylor knew three days prior to the hearing the case was to be nolle prossed. Proving ASA Rick Brueckner had no regard for me, the victim in this case. Something is absolutely wrong in Davis Ruark's office when the defendant knows he will not be prosecuted a week before the victim is notified of this decision. Obviously, the State's Attorney's office doesn't care if the victims takes time away from their lives to show up in court, only to find justice will not be served.

In the one and only conversation I had with ASA Rick Brueckner, he told me he was going to try this case. Clearly a lie, told to appease me, the victim. He made a decision to not try this case based on nothing he got from me because, when I asked him if he wanted the information used to file charges he said, NO. He said he wouldn't need them yet because this wouldn't go to trial until Nov, Dec or possibly Jan. Therefore, his decision was based on whatever transpired between T.J. Maloney and himself. I would really like to know what kind of deal was made between ASA Rick Brueckner and T.J. Maloney. However, I am the victim and have no rights to protection in Wicomico County.

To this day, he has no idea what information was used to file the charges or to obtain the peace order granted by Judge Motsay.

If this is how every case that is not prosecuted is handled, it's no wonder the city is ranked 2nd in violent crime. They get no help from attorney's like ASA Rick Brueckner. Is this why we have so many cases not prosecuted in Wicomico County? Is this why so many criminals are walking out of court only to commit crimes against the community, time and time again? How many others in Davis Ruark's office make their decision to not prosecute based on nothing? How many times has the decision to not prosecute been made, in crimes against women, in Wicomico County?

I am not as angry over the nolle prosequi decision as I am the way the decision was made and the lack of communication from the office of the State's Attorney.

Residents Get Chance At Stimulus Money

Stimulus Money Available For Low-Income, Homeless Detroit Residents

DETROIT -- Detroit's homeless and low-income residents have another opportunity for a chance at millions of stimulus dollars.

The money is available to help low-income residents from becoming homeless and homeless residents to find housing.

Thousands of people lined up Tuesday.

Some people in line falsely believed they were registering for $3,000 stimulus checks from the Obama Administration.

City officials told Local 4 that Detroit was granted $15 million to help residents pay bills and their rent or find temporary housing for the homeless.

Watch: Thousands Line Up For Stimulus Check Applications

The Detroit Planning and Development Department (PDD) is taking applications Tuesday and Wednesday for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program.

The applications deadline is Oct. 7.

The remaining 5,000 applications can be picked up Wednesday at the Cobo Hall in the Riverview Ballroom from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Already filled out applications can be submitted at the Cobo Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or sent in the mail to the Detroit Planning and Development Department at 65 Cadillac Square, Suite 1400, Detroit, MI., 48226.

Applications must be postmarked by Oct. 7.

Announcement

While I am moderating comments for Joe while he tends to his personal business the following should be known.

I will post comments I don't necessarily agree with, for the purpose of good clean debate.

I will not post comments that are well thought out then end with sarcastic remarks towards Joe or his family.

You want to hear both sides, here is your opportunity.

Limiting the use of terms such as Libtards, Dumbocrats and Repuglicans would be appreciated. It's not necessary to call names to get your point across.

Have a nice day.

School Kids Sing For Health Care Reform On Set Of CNN

Today's Update

Good Morning:

I can't thank each and every one of you enough for your kind wishes, prayers and offerings.

I had a wonderful day with my Mother yesterday. They did stabilize her condition quite a bit but unfortunately that too will be short lived. All of her children were there yesterday to spend one on one and family time with Mom and you have no idea the relief we all shared when Mom would smile. She knows what we're saying, she simply can't respond very well.

We spoke with her Doctor this morning and while they had higher hopes two weeks ago, the cancer is spreading at a very rapid speed and he is recommending we take her home and work with Hospice.

What I'd like to share most with all of you is the peace we all have with my Mother's condition. You see, Mom has dedicated her life to serving God and others. Mom retired some 20 years ago and has spent full time ever since volunteering at a Pro Life Center in Annapolis. I could spend hours telling you all of the things she has accomplished but I think it's best said by the Priest that came to see her yesterday. He said, Mary, one thing I can guarantee you is that you'll spend less than 1.5 seconds in purgatory. Mom just smiles and whispered, I know.

That being said, I have a lot to do in a very short period of time. I will again be in Annapolis today and while I'd love to respond to all of the e-mail messages so many of you have been kind enough to send, please accept my apologies for not doing so and know I appreciate each and every one of you.

I'd like to add, my very dear friend Kimmie Marshall is also in the Hospital. Kimmie experienced a heart attack after recently losing her Step Father and her Brother. God Bless this woman, she called me from the Hospital to let me know why she hadn't been in contact with me but wanted to know how my Mother was doing and was there anything she could do for us.

While your prayers have certainly gifted the Albero Family with more quality time with Mom, please share your prayers with Kimmie. Again, thank you everyone and don't you worry, we'll be back as good as new in the very near future.

Car Makers Use Tech To Battle ‘Impaired Driving’


Cameras in the car, controls for alerts help keep an eye on the driver

The Department of Transportation’s recent conference on distracted driving drew considerable attention to the hazard posed by talking on the phone and texting while driving. By the government’s count, those activities were to blame for nearly 6,000 deaths last year.
That puts those actions on par with other forms of driver impairment, such as drunk driving and falling asleep at the wheel. While drunk driving attracts much more attention, drowsy driving causes more than 100,000 crashes every year, with 1,550 fatalities and 71,000 injuries.

All of these concerns fall under the umbrella of “impaired driving,” a problem which carmakers are increasingly using technology to detect and counteract. Technology alone cannot solve this problem, but it can help, said David Champion, director of Consumer Reports’ auto test department.

Some of the useful aids include hands-free Bluetooth phones that save the driver from searching for and picking up a phone, along with lane departure warning systems that notify the oblivious phone talker that he just left a lane and is about to sideswipe a tractor-trailer.

The real solution is to outlaw routine distracted driving and to make driving while phoning and texting socially unacceptable — the way drunk driving went from being a funny embarrassment to a criminal offense, Champion said.

“If you go back 30 years, people who drove drunk were thought of as just a good ol’ boy,” he said. “Now the one thing that would work is having punitive penalties for people who are in an accident while texting or taking on a cell phone.”

But that will take time, and it will take even longer for drivers to change their behaviors. So the immediate solution is to build cars equipped to detect drivers who are impaired by whatever cause.

In some cases, the car’s systems might directly observe the driver, studying the face and eyes for indications of fatigue, distraction or inebriation. They might employ sensors that detect the presence of alcohol. Or they can simply observe the driver’s behavior, as the rest of us frequently do, to see if the car drifts out of its lane or is slow to react to situations, such as stopped traffic ahead.

No production vehicles yet detect drivers who are texting or drunk, but already some of them can detect symptoms of those conditions. The 2010 Toyota Prius and Lexus LS 600h, for example, features the advanced Pre-Collision System with Driver Attention Monitor.

Rachel’s Challenge at Mardela Middle and High

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America. This program, known as "Rachel's Challenge" will be presented at Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday, Oct. 20, with daytime assemblies for students (8 a.m. for middle school students, 9:20 a.m. for high school, with a Friends of Rachel training session from 1-2:30 p.m.) and a 6:30 p.m. session for parents/guardians and the community.

Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel's life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spell-bound during a one-hour school presentation that motivates them to positive change in the way they treat others. This is followed by an interactive 45-minute training session involving both adult and student leaders that shows how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly, often by forming a Friends of Rachel chapter. The assembly creates the "want to" or desire for positive change. The training session teaches the "how to" and ensures that the positive impact will continue. Support from the community and from businesses is welcome, as both time and resources are needed to support Friends of Rachel as an ongoing effort.

For information, please call 410-677-5142.

DART First State Garners Green Grant

Wilmington -- DART First State Garners Green Grant Funds Help DART to Go Greener

The Delaware Transit Corporation and DART First State (DTC) is continuing to get greener by saving even more energy resources. DTC has been awarded a $1.5 million grant to retrofit DTC facilities with solar panels that will generate electric cost savings and reduce fossil fuel energy needs. The grant is from the Federal Transit Administration under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and Transit Investment for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction (TIGGER) Program. This grant contributes to the DTC commitment to saving energy, operating greener, and using renewable energy to better serve our riders and our environment.


DTC Executive Director Stephen Kingsberry stated, We are very grateful for receiving this grant to help DART save even more energy resources to better serve our customers. This grant adds to our ongoing efforts in becoming an even greener DART and supplements our other energy saving and clean air efforts. These existing efforts include using low sulfur fuel in our buses, new electric hybrid buses, and solar lit bus shelters and bus stops.


The solar panels, once installed, will power lighting, computers, air conditioning, and other electric loads in te DTC buildings. The environmental benefits of integrating solar energy within DTC facilities includes an annual reduction of approximately 367,000 pounds in carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the equivalent of removing approximately 31 automobiles from our highways, or equivalent to the amount of CO2 that is removed by 1,236 acres of trees.


The $1.5 million investment in solar energy will return dividends based on the reduction in annual building usage of purchased electricity. The return on the investment of the reduction in energy consumption is estimated to be approximately $91,222 per year with a full payback on the system in 15 years.


The installation of the solar panels is currently in the project development and scoping phase. The DTC facilities identified as possible locations include:

* DTC Wilmington Administration Building, 119 Lower Beech Street

* Wilmington Operations Center, 1 South Monroe Street

* Wilmington Paratransit Maintenance Facility, 600 West 2nd Street

* Dover Administration and Maintenance Facility, 900 Public Safety Blvd

* Georgetown Operations Center, South Bedford St & Rt. 113


This project will be one of the first implementations of solar energy in Delaware for state facilities. DTC will join a select few transit agencies across the country using solar energy to power transit facilities.

Too True

Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).


The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*


5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

OBAMACARE FOR SENIORS

There are 250,000 primary care doctors in the country and about three times as many specialists. It is estimated by the U. S. Health and Human Services Department that 65 million people live in areas that are underserved by primary care doctors. Yet, Obamacare would have you go to a primary care doctor rather than a specialist. According to a recent study, the number of medical school graduates entering family medicine fell by more than a quarter from 2002 to 2007.

Medicare payments for an Electrocardiogram or a Sonogram of the heart would be cut by 40%. The payment for a Catherization of the heart would be cut by a third. Can you honestly believe that these tests would continue to be readily available? While Obamacare focuses on preventive care any fool knows, eventually Cancer, Heart Disease or any number of other ailments will occur. When it does will you want tests? Will you want a specialist to treat you?

Obamacare also proposes to cut payments to Hospitals, by $108 billion over 10 years for treatment of the uninsured. It would also cut Medicare prescription drugs by $75 billion. While it is true that specialists charge more for their services than primary care doctors, are you willing to have a less experienced doctor treat you when your life might be at stake?

Whoops! She Let It All Slip Out!...

Ok people. If you don't want to believe the right wing, crazy, religious conservatives, then believe what the far left liberals and the Obama administration are saying. Maxine Waters,the "liberals liberal" says it in just a few sentences.This clip is showing Congresswoman Maxine Waters discussing drilling for new oil reserves. She explains, in a slip of the tongue, what this whole administration's agenda is all about.Whoops! She let it all slip out!...What can you say...notice the people around her.This clip is about as blatant as a liberal can get.


What she said was accidental, and notice that it stopped her dead in her tracks for a long moment, but it was too late.Looks like the TRUTH came out of her mouth!Notice the lady to the left trying to control her reaction towhat Maxine Walters just said.


Hard to lie about it when you see it for your self in her own words.Just hope the country wakes up in the 2010 elections. Scary agenda.Watch the attached video and you will see the intent ofObama's grand plan and it is not pretty. But luckily,the "congress person" shifted her mouth into gearbefore engaging her brain and let the cat out of the bag.. I do not think it is possible for too many people to see thisvideo and I hope you feel the same way and will help send italong as fast as possible. They certainly didn't waste any time. Look at GM, Chrysler and the banks. Obama's Socialist government isalready taking over. Now, if they can just push Obamacare through, they will have complete control of America !

Donkey Story

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbours to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
of dirt.. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.



Enough of that crap . ... The donkey later came back,
and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.
The gash from the bite got infected and
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.


MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover
your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

Traffic Alert


STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION CLOSES MD 90 BRIDGE INTO OCEAN CITY FOR TWO MONTHS STARTING NEXT WEEK

Traffic Detoured to US 50/Harry Kelley Bridge to Reach Ocean City

To expedite replacing an 85-foot section of the MD 90 Bridge over the Assawoman Bay, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) will close the MD 90 (Ocean City Expressway) Bridge next week or early the following week. This closure follows the emergency weight restriction enacted last week by SHA after a recent bridge inspection revealed deterioration within an 85-foot section of the bridge.

SHA is in the process of completing engineering plans and procuring a contractor to do the work. When a contractor has been procured early next week, an exact date for the bridge closure will be announced. The goal is to have the bridge open to traffic by mid-December, weather permitting.

Over the next two months, crews will:
Totally remove one 85-foot section of the MD 90 Bridge over the navigational channel,
Fabricate and set new steel replacement beams,
Pour a new concrete bridge deck on the newly placed beams,
Restripe the new pavement, and
Install new raised pavement markers.
The 6,000-pound weight restriction will continue for passenger vehicles until the MD 90 bridge closes. SHA has placed temporary traffic signs and portable variable message signs on several area state roads, providing detour information. When work is complete, the MD 90 Bridge will re-open and be capable of carrying all legal vehicles.

During the closure, eastbound traffic will detour to the US 50 Bridge into Ocean City and traffic in Ocean City will be directed across the US 50 Bridge. SHA will allow local traffic to use MD 90 to access US 113, MD 589 to Ocean Pines or St. Martins Neck Road toward Bishopville; however no vehicles along eastbound MD 90 will be permitted beyond St. Martins Neck Road.

SHA thanks motorists for their patience and cooperation and reminds them to use caution when driving the detour route. For more information on State-maintained roadways in Worcester County, customers may call SHA’s District One office at 1-800-825-4742 or 410-677-4000.

IF IT QUACKS LIKE A DUCK

Where is it that the current administration is taking the country? Some call it Liberalism, others call it Socialism, however I believe it is rooted in Marxism. Some basic tenets of Marxism would include, -

* Control of all production.

* The transformation of society, by overcoming class divisions.

*A commonly owned and managed economy.

* Free and universal education.

* Abolition of the standing army, replaced by a citizens militia.

Marx came to see that capitalism had created, an oppressed class. He was convinced that in no social order will freedom be assured as in a society based upon communal ownership. While the thoughts and writings of Karl Marx and his disciple, Frederich Engels are far too lengthy and complicated to put into a few short paragraphs, we should be able to see parallels in our current government.

To succeed in the reformation of the government it is vital to demonize those who have been successful under capitalism. The mass of people must be convinced they have been oppressed and denied the opportunity to prosper. Only by following the enlightened leadership will people be free. A compliant media and the suppression of descent is critical to the takeover of the country.

In my opinion, it is not Conservative verse Liberal or Democrat verse Republican. It is Capitalism verse Marxism. Where will you stand?

KRATOVIL DISREGARDS CONSTITUENTS AND DISREGARDS ETHICS...

KRATOVIL DISREGARDS CONSTITUENTS AND DISREGARDS ETHICS... a true Democrat
Is Kratovil a 'blue dog' in sheep's clothing?????

It seems that Congressman Frank Kratovil has had a rather busy week so far.

On Friday he ducked out of a meeting with Americans For Prosperity after the group had contacted the Congressman of their Friday afternoon visit to his D.C. office. His staff told the disappointed group that the Congressman was in Berlin. I always respect a man of his word and consider integrity the first requirement of any elected offical to receive my vote. It may have been reassuring that Kratovil's fledglings reiterated that the Congressman would not vote for any health care bill he had not read, understood, and that his constituents had at least 48 hours to read on line and offer him feedback. Kudos to AFP for this clarification of Kratovil's stance.

Then Wednesday Congressman Kratovil toed the party line to defeat the Rangel Resolution (# 758). They voted 243-156 to refer to the Ethics Committee a GOP resolution that would have removed Charles Rangel (D-NY) as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee pending outcome of ethics investigation.

The weakening of Democratic support for Rangel came after revelations in August that Rangel had failed to report some $500,000 or more in assets on financial disclosure forms. In July 2008, Rangel responded to news reports alleging ethical shortcomings by requesting an ethics review of omissions in his financial disclosure forms.


Rangel is under scutiny for failing to pay federal taxes on income from rental property in the Dominican Republic and whether his lease of four rent-subsidized apartments in New York amounted to a gift that House rules require to be disclosed.


His use of official letterhead to solicit funds for the Charles B. Rangel School of Public Service at the City University of New York is also being reveiwed.


http://www.lonelyconservative.com/2009/10/07/figures-democrats-band-together-for-charlie-rangel/


So folks, it does not seem that Congressman Kratovil was interested in meeting with his constituents on Friday. He stood them up. Kratovil calls himself a 'blue dog Democrat, yet he follow Pelosi's orders to keep tax cheat Rangel in power to make tax policy for YOUR TAXES.
Disregarding constituents and disregarding ethics.


I'd say that Congressman Frank Kratovil will fit right in and is on his way to be a true Democrat!

O'Malley’s Tax Increases Smother Maryland Businesses


Annapolis, MD – Maryland businesses are taking another left jab to the jaw from the O’Malley Administration as they struggle to survive in tough times. The State has announced that recession-fueled layoffs have drained more than $550 million from Maryland's Unemployment-Benefits Trust Fund. This will trigger an automatic - and smothering - tax jump for businesses next year. It’s so bad that some businesses are looking at a fourfold increase in unemployment taxes.

“Who is going to hire workers under those conditions?” asked Dr. Jim Pelura, Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party. “Gov. O'Malley, and his Democrats in the General Assembly, have launched a relentless assault on small business, the engine of our economy. Poor fiscal management, lack of planning, plus the rush to tax and spend during the Special Legislative Session of 2007 has made Maryland one of the most business unfriendly states in the country.”

“The timing could not be worse,” said Ellen Valentino, Maryland State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business, a trade group for small firms. Many small businesses are folding –OR are escaping from Maryland and finding refuge in other States OR are letting workers go. Unemployment is already at an all time high of 7.2% last month. This will really affect whether business owners will hire in 2010.

The Fund paid out more in the first seven months of this year than it did in all of 2008. The increase, which will vary for employers depending on their history of claims against the fund, ranged from an additional $136 to $383 per worker in 2010. That's a nearly fourfold increase for businesses at the bottom of the tax-rate scale, a group that includes just over half of Maryland employers.

O’Malley and his cronies are succeeding in draining the business community by losing more jobs and the individual taxpayers’ pockets are next!

Andy Harris On Health Care


Reform, not overreach
Changes such as market-based 'exchanges' can improve our health system without upending it


By Andy Harris October 6, 2009

If there is any message that has come from this summer's town hall meetings throughout the country, it is that the American public is unhappy with how health care reform is being approached by Congress. As the only physician in the Maryland Senate, I know how legislatures approach health care issues. Politicians are usually tone-deaf to those who know the most about the issue - patients and their health care providers.

We all want reform - but not the over-reaching measures promoted in the current bills. We have to strengthen and broaden individual decision-making. Serious efforts to bring down the cost to families while preserving patient choice should include several elements.

There are things we can all agree on: covering those who can't afford insurance, lowering costs, making insurance portable, and covering pre-existing conditions. In addition, in areas like Maryland's Eastern Shore, any reform plan must address the need to attract physicians to smaller towns and rural areas in order to increase health care quality and access everywhere. These are common sense goals that offer real reform and don't require a government takeover of our health care and medical decisions.

Perhaps the most significant element of reform involves bringing market forces to bear on health care insurers. Creating a health care "exchange" allows for affordable, accessible and portable insurance for millions of Americans. An "exchange" would let everyone choose their health care insurance from a broad range of options and allow their employer to help pay for it. Competition among insurers would bring down the cost of health care insurance, just as it brings down the cost of car or homeowners insurance.

Under this system, people could choose an insurance policy that exactly fits their families' needs and their budgets, be able to take that coverage with them from job to job, and be able to "fire" their insurance company if it doesn't treat them well. Our current system, which locks most people into the insurance their employer offers, doesn't do this. An exchange would also offer competitively priced insurance to millions who are unemployed, self-employed, or who work for an employer who can't afford to offer insurance. But including a government ("public option") insurance plan or even a "co-op" option is not the solution. Finally, insurance should also be made available across state lines.

Other changes are also needed. They include:

· Tort reform. Obstetricians and neurosurgeons in some states pay malpractice insurance premiums in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, costs that are passed on to the patient and insurers - and limit access to those physicians.

· Bringing market forces to bear on health care purchases. Americans are used to making price/value judgments in their purchases. Health care purchases shouldn't be treated any differently. Patients should know the cost of services. (How many people know what an MRI actually costs?) Provider quality information should be made readily available to patients (consumers). Any reform should encourage price and quality transparency.

· Providing tax deductibility for all health insurance purchased, not just that provided by employers. This, combined with health care exchanges, will bring down the out-of-pocket cost to those who have to buy their own insurance, such as farmers, sole proprietors and small businesses. For those who still couldn't afford even the most basic plans, tax credit subsidies can be made available.

· Expanding the availability of high-deductible ("catastrophic") plans combined with roll-over health savings accounts. These products could substantially reduce the cost of everyday health care expenses, with those savings passed on to patients. They could be designed to encourage wellness programs that could save even more in the long run.

· Encouraging use of technology to provide higher quality with lower cost. Everyone should have an electronic copy of their entire medical record. That would not only save costs of duplication when going from one physician to the next, but it would avoid errors in hand-written records and prescriptions.

· Denying any new health care entitlements to illegal immigrants. The costs of providing care to needy Americans through Medicaid is already threatening to bankrupt state governments as well as the federal government. We have to provide everyone care in true emergencies, but that's where we should draw the line.

These reforms would address the demand for portability, personal ownership, affordability and accessibility. They protect patients' rights, preserve the doctor-patient relationship and focus on putting patients and their families first. Our nation still enjoys the finest health care in the world. Let's make necessary changes, but let's take the time to get it right.

WCBOE Still Dodging "Dirty Books" in Schools

As we await this morning's Daily Times - which is rumored to be running either a defense of explicit content in elementary school library books, or a hit piece on Wicomico councilman Joe Holloway, or both - let's examine yesterday's relatively balanced piece by DT reporter Greg Latshaw.  Wicomico schools superintendent John Fredricksen seems to be spinning in multiple directions.

Kratovil Staff Dodges While Blue Dog Frank Hides

Yes, I know that these videos have already appeared once.  However, if you are concerned about health care reform you need to watch these videos and then ask yourself a few questions.



Frank Kratovil has already flip-flopped on Obama’s PORKULUS bill.  Kratovil refused to tell constituents that he was going to vote for Cap & Tax until AFTER he did it!




Frank Kratovil LOVES to co-sponsor bills that he knows will never pass but might make him look far more in line with the values of his district.

As several people pointed out – It’s about TRUST.

Can the people of Maryland’s First District TRUST Frank Kratovil?  We’ll see.

If he votes for any health care bill without allowing time for his constituents to see the bill and give him feedback, we know that he can’t be trusted.

If he votes for any health care bill that claims that illegal aliens won’t be covered BUT doesn’t require that citizenship or residence status be checked, we know he can’t be trusted.

If he votes for any health care bill that doesn’t allow health insurance to be bought across state lines BUT includes a public option, we know he can’t be trusted.

Watch the videos.  Give Frank a call.
