These are invaluable tips and tricks to help you get the most for your dollar!
When you travel look for the best deals and always plan your trips down to the minute. It will save your marriage.
* Always ask the hotels you are placing reservation with whether or not they validate the parking.
* Use sites such as Priceline to book your needs such as Hotels and Rentals and Airlines (If you have flexibility with you time). When it says that your super low bid for that 3 Star Hotel is too low and will not be accepted hit enter. If it says no takers then try again! On our weekend to San Francisco we saved about $175 on our hotel per night!! That’s right the going rate for the Hilton was $300 a night on the pier on a weekend we bid $125 and presto!
* Don’t go crazy with the saving mindset at some point you have to pack your bags and enjoy your trip. The saving are done at home.
* Call the local chamber of commerce of each individual city you are visiting or your own chamber of commerce for group trips or special tour rates. We have found trips to China at 25% the cost through COC’s. Some of these trips are actually sponsored by city/government to foster trade.
* Remember to pick up business cards as to prove to the IRS that this is a legitimate business trip.
* Look for travel groups to destination areas of the World!
I have found an excellent site that scans and compiles listings from hundreds of sites. The site is called KAYAK! This site unlike other websites includes airlines such as Jet Blue and cheaptickets.com. Try it out and submit any news you may have!
Save hundreds of dollars and live longer! Make Eating out is a Special treat!
It’s a lifestyle for a whole lot of people.
If you consume fast food for lunch during your work week consider this. Your lunch is costing you about $1300.00 a year. 52 weeks X 5 Days X $5.00 = $1300.00 Most fast food restaurants offer $1 menus.
Drink a big glass of water 1/2 hour before lunch.
A burrito $1.50 including tax and 1 more glass of water will cost you about $390.00 a year.
This will save about $910.00 a year.
Most of us don’t frown at that amount of money.
You will save money on medical cost for future healthcare due to weight gain. You will live longer! High calorie intake is the leading cause in reducing life expectancy. High blood sugar levels increase the number of free radicals in your system causing cellular damage. Your body has to replace damaged cells and it is a well known fact that the replacement cells are less perfect than the original cell causing what is called aging. In laymen’s terms. Live your life as you wish but is that rushed lunch the time to be a connoisseur? Save your money and spend it on a gourmet meal that you share with your spouse.
I realize that John McCain is a Vietnam war vet and was an MIA but is he trying to sell out American citizens in order to represent the needs and wants of illegal immigrants (Votes) and corporate America (big farmers, construction, etc) and contributors. Does he need the support of the blue blood Republican machine in order to have a chance at the White House? He is avoiding criticism because of his war record, which is interesting in contrast to how the republicans attacked John Kerry who is also a decorated war veteran. He is also avoiding criticism because of the fact he is pushing a liberal agenda and a large contingent of our media are liberals. I believe that the needs of American workers is just as important as the needs of big business. The extra profit is going into the pockets of the wealthiest among us and then being sheltered from taxes. The rise in stock prices due to illegal immigration dwarfs in relation to the cost of school, health and roads needed to service these illegal immigrants. If illegal immigration is a benefit and cuts cost as McCain and Bush and the the majority of the Democratic party say than how is it that new home prices in California have risen at a rate of 25% a year in California. A huge number of the workers in this industry are illegal. The price of homes and other products are not set by the cost to produce but by supply and demand. Interesting question huh! Is the rise of home prices at 23% above normal inflation a benefit? How will my children be able to buy a small 3 bedroom home in LA for $650,000 dollars and afford to feed and clothes there kids and buy goods in order to stimulate the economy? Is it possible that we will have a 2 class America if this continues? It is very sad that Americans in general have so little pride in what we have built here. I may have a different perspective than other people due to the fact that my family including myself immigrated here. I know first hand that most people leave other parts of the world due to a culture of corruption in other countries. This is being imported to America and scared natives are afraid to be called racist if they say NO! A huge number of wealthy Americans are benefiting from the cheap labor in their homes. How do I know this, well I happen to work in a lot of big homes and most of the help does not speak English, illegals? A lot of them do not want to become Americans but only to exploit your stupidity and send the money home! When they retire with their social security in Mexico they will laugh and be kings in a land of serfs.
Should federal elections be funded by federal dollars?
If federal elections could only be funded by public dollars I believe it would change the landscape of politics. Corporations and Unions should not dictate law for the people. If we can spend federal money and lives on a war to liberate people who already hate us as much as the French 8). We can spend federal money to keep our politicians beholden to the voter. They could easily get there message out using Public Service Announcements and whatever TV money we provide for debates. Feel free SUBMIT your thoughts!

Illegal Immigrants are doing jobs that Americans will not do!
This is a country made up of Illegal immigrants!
We need Illegal immigration!
If you believe that the previous statements are true than stop reading.
* I believe in legal immigration.
* I believe in defending the sovereignty of our country by defending our borders.
* I believe that a guest worker program is something a country in acts when unemployment is near zero percent!
* I believe that you regulate welfare to only those people that society has a moral obligation to support!
* I believe that elected members of congress that put the needs and wants of their party and their contributors above those of the voters are walking a fine line between self-preservation and treason.
The immigration debate has pulled back the covers and exposed those politicians who do not hold sacred the interest of the current voting public. I believe they do not see themselves as traitors but as champions for causes such as the following:
* Positioning the United States to compete in a Global Economy
* Protecting people that are less fortunate
* Protecting the children
I am an immigrant and I believe that you do not appreciate what you do not earn!
I hate institutional racism such as affirmative action and the fact that some of our racist senators believe that all Mexicans are 1 race.
I love this country and I will use whatever tools I have at my disposal to protect it!
Some in our country are trying to control the Internet and the exchange of ideas and commerce to control the population. Unfortunately we cannot trust in our leaders anymore just because they are a donkey or an elephant and we happen to like that animal If the following senators have there way the U.S., Canada and Mexico will be ONE! All three countries will equalize and share one currency. The United States has the infrastructure and machinery. Canada has the resources and Mexico has uneducated labor.
From a big picture view this is a win win if you have no morals! In order for this to work our generation will have to financially equalize with Mexico. This will happen by means of wealth distribution from the US to Mexico, which is going on right NOW! This is being done through regulations at this time under your noses.
Protect America! Protect your generation and your children!
The US has the ability to coax Mexico into making their citizens stay in there own country! In my opinion the AMERO, which is kind of like the EURO is only possible if all 3 countries have strong economies. Some people feel this idea is treason but they keep voting for the same people over and over again!
In the next elections through 2010 vote to remove the following senators!
They dont have todays American families best interest in mind.
These senators voted to give illegal aliens SOCIAL SECURITY benifets! They work here illegally, use the welfare system and receive free healthcare at emergency rooms and our senators give them amnesty!
They steal social security numbers and falsify do*****ents and our senators give them amnesty!
Do the same and then ASK them to give you amnesty on your taxes!!

How do you feel about our president saying its going to be a tough summer regarding gasoline prices?
If you were president what would you do?
I know what I would do. If I were the president of the United States of America (which I cannot be by the way!) I would propose 2 bills;
* All petroleum products sold in the US must be produced from oil pumped from US soil within 5 years
* Regulate oil related companies such as we regulate our utilities. Why? National Security!
Some of you are screaming, I hear you! It is time to stop living in a black and white world. If the president of the United States asks congress to write up theses 2 bills what will happen?
Ill tell you what I think will happen. Within one day I your president (me) will receive 2 phone calls.
* A phone call from Exxon asking me how they can help the country in this time of need.
* A call from the Saudis asking me how they can help the United States in dealing with our National Security problem.
Many big department stores will price match items you find on the internet. You will save money and you state will receive much needed tax money for schools, police and fire protection. You must confirm each individual stores price match policy.

Worth the read!!!!!
Cheap Tomatoes
This should make everyone think, be you Democrat,
Republican or Independent
From a California school teacher - - -”As you listen
to the news about the
student protests over illegal immigration, there are
some things that you
should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language
department at a large
southern California high school which is designated
a Title 1 school, meaning
that its students average lower socioeconomic and
income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South
Gate High, Bell Gardens,
Huntington Park, etc., where these students are
protesting, are also Title 1
schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free
lunch program. When I say
free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and
roll — but a full
breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices
that would make a Marriott proud.
The waste of this food is monumental, with trays
and trays of it being dumped
in the trash uneaten. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are
obese or at least
moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have
cell phones. The school also
provides day care centers for the unwed teenage
pregnant girls (some as young as
13) so they can attend class without the
inconvenience of having to arrange
for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or
risk losing funding for
the upcoming year even though there was little need
for anything; my budget
was already substantial. I ended up buying new
computers for the computer
learning center, half of which, one month later,
have been carved with graffiti
by the appreciative students who obviously feel
humbled and grateful to have a
free education in America. (OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and
substitute teachers
whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant
students here in the country less
then 3 months who raised so much hell with the
female teachers, calling them
“Putas” whores and throwing things that the teachers
were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care
etc., etc., etc. Is it any
wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this
country but to demand
rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these
illegal immigrants contribute
to our society because they LIKE their gardener and
housekeeper and they like
to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the
real world of illegal
immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing,
higher medical costs, more
crime, lower standards of education in our schools,
overcrowding, new diseases
etc., etc, etc. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be
a disaster because we
won’t have the guts to enforce it.
Does anyone in their right mind really think they
will voluntarily leave and
return?
There are many hardworking Hispanic/American
citizens that contribute to our
country and many that I consider my true friends.
We should encourage and
accept those Hispanics who have done it the right
and legal way.
It does, however, have everything to do with
culture: A third-world culture
that does not value education, that accepts
children getting pregnant and
dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to
assimilate, and an American
culture that has become so weak and worried about
“politically correct” that we
don’t have the will to do anything about it.
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine,
forward this to everyone you
know.
CHEAP LABOR?
Isn’t that what the whole immigration issue is
about?
Business doesn’t want to pay a decent wage
Consumers don’t want expensive produce
Government will tell you Americans don’t want the
jobs
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase
“cheap labor” is a myth, a
farce, and a lie. there is no such thing as “cheap
labor.”
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and
five children. He takes
a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with
six dependents, he pays no
income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files
an Income Tax Return, he
gets an “earned income credit” of up to $3,200
free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized
rent
He qualifies for food stamps
He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay)
health care
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at
school
He requires bilingual teachers and books
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they
qualify for SSI. Once
qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All
of this is at taxpayer’s
expense
He doesn’t worry about car insurance, life
insurance, or homeowners
insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins
and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00
to $30.00/hour in
benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or
$6.00/hour left after paying
their bills and his
The American taxpayer’s also pay for increased
crime, graffiti and trash
clean-up.

The following senators have decided to sell out America for bribes from big business and special interest!
//////////////////////////////////////////
McCain, John- (R – AZ) (202) 224-2235
Kennedy, Edward M.- (D – MA) (202) 224-4543
Graham, Lindsey- (R – SC) (202) 224-5972 - (La Raza “THE RACE” award winner)
Specter, Arlen- (R – PA) (202) 224-4254
Kyl, Jon- (R – AZ) (202) 224-4521 (Current architect of this bill)
Kyl’s website says, “Securing the borders of the United States to protect against the entry of terrorists, drug smugglers, and illegal aliens – while keeping them open for legitimate visitors and commerce – is one of my highest priorities.â€
I guess what he meant was lets make the illegals legal so we dont have an illegal alien problem anymore?
//////////////////////////////////////////
the list above will grow as the our esteemed senators below open their mouths!
Call your senators and ask them to support an enforcement only bill. We need a biometric Social Security card with privacy protection attached to it.
Only then can we address the illegal immigrants here that have joined the military or those who judges have given the right to attend US schools and have achieved at least an Associates degree.
Regarding the guest worker program why give big business welfare on the backs of the American working class?
Call your senators now and save America for the diverse citizens that live here and their children.
Toll Free Congressional switchboard: 1-800-862-5530 or 202-224-3121
1-800-882-2005 (this is the number the other side is giving out, feel free to use it as well!)

Subsumed US Flag
Subsumed US Flag
You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the
New York Times or on the lead story of the major news networks. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside down at Montebello High School in California.
Mexican students subsuming the US flag
Mexican Students subsuming the US flag
Some have predicted that this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington. Personally I believe the esteemed senators voting for this bill are willing to sell out the country regardless.
The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil at a public institution would not be allowed anywhere but in the USA.
Joyous Mexicans after defeating Montebello High School
joyous conquering mexicans
If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be “redistributed” to the activists who have veto power over this bill, while you are so peacefully staying out of the “fray”.
Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared
when its citizens no longer fought to protect their core beliefs and values.
One person CAN make a difference.
One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one………
The battle for our sovereignty and immigration laws that actually mean something will not end with the destruction of this bill.
As an immigrant and a proud US citizen, my family and I wanted to be Americans and yes I speak spanish. My family learned english and renounced allegiance to the country I was born in.
This latest batch of immigrants only want the Nation of Aztlan!
Thanks to those who have supplied the images and the story to me. I have been unable to verify the incident other than these images that speak for themselves, but I have decided to post due to the urgency of the matter.
UPDATE:
The incident took place on Monday when a large group of 1000 students from El Rancho High School in Whittier. According the Montebello High School Principal .
If the following senators have there way the U.S., Canada and Mexico will be ONE! All three countries will equalize and share one currency. The United States has the infrastructure and machinery. Canada has the resources and Mexico has uneducated labor.
