Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’
Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the
surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about
anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are
very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the
systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and
doing their dastardly thing.
Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of
buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units
assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by coordinators, causing
damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever,
individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the
inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the
government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death.
Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and
identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a
matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
I have been out of work since November 2007. My unemployment benefits ran out last month. I am 53 old and have worked hard all my life. I've paid taxes all my life, and this is how my country is treating me. Unbelievable. Totally disgusting. So anytime I am not looking for a job, I will spend time and dedicate to making sure any politician that votes nay on not extending unemployment insurance will be out of a job their next term by informing the public of their decision in every forum available. I will encourage others to do so as well.
How dare you vote against HR5749 and California. You are lower than scum. You are a disgrace to California and your district. The people will remember you about this vote and will get democrat into your seat. What is republican puke like you representing California for anyways? Don't show your face in Orange County for awhile!
I can't believe any Congressman or Woman from California would vote against helping the people struggling on unemployment.
You should know the stuggles we are going through. This is amazing how out out touch you are with the people of California.
Shame on You!!!!
We are displeased with your NAY vote on H.R.5749. Please be aware that unemployed Republicans won't be voting for you or anymore. The most upsetting idea you and your Republican Cohorts presented is that a person would be eligible for a year of unemployment benefits after working only a week! That is VERY misleading, it is degrading, it makes it seem like a person wants a handout and would be eligible for a large amount of money, when that is NOT the case. People need to know the truth. The truth is each state has eligibility requirements and stipulations for earning a certain amount in a certain period of time in order to be even eligible for any state benefits. If a person qualifies, the amount of the state benefit is only about 1/3 of your previously salary, and depends on the total amount earned while working during the approved look back period. In ILLINOIS for example, you need to earn a minimum of $1600 in the look back period which consists of 4 quarters. Therefore a person who worked part time for one week and earned $1600 in that week would only be paid $50 a week for 26 weeks. Is $50 a full unemployment benefit to you? For this little amount of money, you and the other Republicans who voted NO have jeopardized this legislation while millions of people are suffering in these hard economic times because they can't find work. We are not happy with you or the other Republicans and want others to know.
David Dreier voted no on HR5749 extending unemployment benefits. California is the third highest unemployed state. Wally Herger takes his orders from the Republican Party not the People of California. He supports tax cuts for corporations but not unemployment insurance for the jobless in his state. Remember his and his party's opposition to the bill and let him know California is not proud of his poor voting record and plan to unseat him the next election for turning his back on his states and countries citizens.
DAVID DRIER WON'T SUPPORT THE JOBLESS IN HIS STATE. BUT WANTS MORE TAX CUTS FOR BIG OIL. HIS REASONS FOR OPPOSING HR5749 ARE LIES.
Read this link so you know why David Dreier's opposition to HR5749 is criminal.

I hope you lose your primary and your seat for voting against HR5749. How could you vote against your state?
Veterans are coming back from Iraq with a shrinking job market and inflation. David Dreier voted no on HR5749 and in turn shut many veterans out of the American dream they have just defended for all of us. Don't let her forget how wrong he was and how unemployment extensions should have been passed in the original economic stimulus plan. Let him know this issue is an emergency and that Washington needs to pass legislation to help the hard hit American worker and Iraq veteran NOW!!!
David Dreier is up for a primary vote on Tuesday 6/17/08. California let's take him out early for the fall election. Let everyone know David Dreier's poor voting record and his vote of no on HR5749. Let's clean house!!!
Middle class America wake up! A vote for a Republican is a vote for your own demise. Is war moral or do the Republicans just use religion to sell out the well meaning and good folks of America? Remember in November!!!!!! Vote all these bums out!!!!!!!!
Close the Enron loophole and Americans some gas price relief.
You my friend Mr. Dreier are out of touch with your constituency and you have turned your back and your trust on not only the people of California, but working people all across this Nation. There are Families who are falling apart because they have lost their jobs and unemployment benefits and you voted against this important legislation. So do the right thing and vote to pass the Iraq-Afghanistan War funding, along with the New GI Bill and the Unemployment Extensions. Make sure to pressure your colleagues to pass this Bill with no more add on's. Pass the Bill that the House Passed Last Week. There are People's lives at stake here, for God's Sake. Do the right Thing, make sure this Bill goes through early next week without a Hitch.
This is what happens Rep. Dreier when the Government cuts off people's unemployment and when the economy is weak and there are no good paying jobs. Is this the vibrant American economy that I hear the Republicans talk about so much?
L.A. seeing more people living out of their cars
By CHRISTINA HOAG, Associated Press Writer Mon Jun 23, 2:48 PM ET
LOS ANGELES - Having lost her job and her three-bedroom house, Darlene Knoll has joined the legions of downwardly mobile who are four wheels away from homelessness.
She is living out of her shabby 1978 RV, and every night she has to look for a place to park where she won't get hassled by the cops or insulted by residents.
"I'm not a piece of trash," the former home health-care aide said as she stroked one of five dogs in her cramped quarters parked in the waterfront community of Marina del Rey.
Amid the foreclosure crisis and the shaky economy, some California cities are seeing an increase in the number of people living out of their cars, vans or RVs.
Acting on complaints from homeowners, the Los Angeles City Council got tough earlier this year by forbidding nearly all overnight parking in residential neighborhoods such as South Brentwood.
But some people are just crowding into other parts of the city, including the seaside community of Venice, where dozens of rusty, dilapidated campers can be seen lined up outside neat single-family homes. The stench of urine emanates from a few of the vehicles, and some residents say they have seen human waste left behind.
"They're nasty and gnarly," said Venice resident Jeff Scharlin. "We've heard about drug dealing and prostitution in them. I've never seen it, but visually they're a blight and they take up parking space."
In Los Angeles, as in many other cities, it is illegal to live in vehicles on public streets. But the law is not easy to enforce. Police have to enter a vehicle to find signs that people are living there, such as cooking or sleeping, and occupants often refuse to answer when cops knock.
An easier way is to restrict overnight parking. In L.A., a first offense carries a $50 fine, and subsequent violations can cost as much as $100.
Parking-enforcement officers often give vehicle owners a warning and tell them to move on before issuing a ticket, and that usually solves the problem, said Alan Willis, a city transportation engineer. But other cities in the area are not as lenient.
"I had my motor home towed in Culver City. It cost me $500 to get it out," said Desiri Hawkins, who lives in a small RV in Venice. "I got ticketed in Santa Monica and had to go to court."
Tourist states with temperate climates, such as California and Florida, have long been magnets for the homeless. Los Angeles is the nation's homelessness capital, with an estimated 73,000 people on the streets. A survey of 3,230 homeless people last year in Los Angeles County found nearly 7 percent living in vehicles, according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.
"It's trending toward an increase," said Michael Stoop, acting executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless. "People would rather live in a vehicle than wind up in a shelter, and you can't stay on a friend's couch forever."
People living out of their cars or campers tend to be more well-off than the homeless on the street. They usually have jobs or disability checks that enable them to maintain an old camper but do not allow them to afford rent.
"For more working-class and lower-middle-class people, the car is the first stop of being homeless, and sometimes it turns out to be a long stop," said Gary Blasi, a University of California, Los Angeles, law professor and activist on homeless issues.
Some Venice residents are clamoring for overnight parking restrictions. But parking limits in oceanfront neighborhoods are problematic because the California Coastal Commission requires communities to accommodate surfers, fishermen and other early-morning beachgoers.
"The complaints are getting louder and louder," said Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl.
For years, some cities such as Santa Barbara, Calif., and Eugene, Ore., have accommodated people who live out of their vehicles. Activists in Venice are looking at some of those ideas. Santa Barbara, for example, allows vehicles to stay from 7 p.m to 7 a.m. in church and city parking lots.
Knoll said she can barely afford to drive around with the rising price of gasoline eating away at the $950 monthly disability check she receives because of mental illness.
She said she is also sick of police waking her up in the wee hours by pounding on her vehicle with their nightsticks, and she is tired of fighting with residents who call her "lowlife scum" and hurl other insults.
"We need somewhere we can have a safe haven, where we won't be harassed," Knoll said as the wind from a passing car rocked her RV. "I never thought I'd be living like this, but I'm stuck. This is it for me."
