Information on new health care bill

Note: Becky Willis asked me to pass this information to our Village. Following is the email I received from her. If anyone else has any information or ideas on this, please post a comment. Thanks! ~Sandy

As you know, I have a son with autism and this health care bill scares me.  I listened to the interview with Fred Thomsonand there is much more than just page 425.  We must contact our congress.  Becky

Page 425 of HealthCare BILL

O.K.  folks – I ‘think’ this will ‘shake us up’ – read and listen to this Interview – “IF” this does not cause every red-blooded American to contact their Representatives, I don’t know what will!!  It’s time for ACTION!  Americans!!
Both Democrats and Republicans beware.

(If this doesn’t make your blood boil…. nothing will!!)

Page 425 of Health Care Bill – Listen to this interview Fred Thompson’s Radio Show interviewing Betsy McCaughey (pronounced Mc Coy).

Fred Thompson: Interviews

On page 425 it says in black and white that EVERYONE on Social Security, (This includes all Senior Citizens and those on SSI) will go to MANDATORY counseling every 5 years to learn and to choose from ways to end your suffering (and your life).  Health care will be denied based on age.  500 Billion will be cut from Seniors healthcare.  The only way for that to happen is to drastically cut health care, the oldest and the sickest will be cut first.  Paying for your own care will not be an option.

Now, CALL YOUR REPS IN WASHINGTON!!!!!
Tell them to read page 425 if they don’t read anything else.
Surely some of them have parents.

“ON PAGE 425 OF OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE BILL, the Federal Government will require EVERYONE who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier.  Yes…They are going to push SUICIDE to cut medicare spending!”

Special Olympics Summer Games

2009-state-games

The 2009 Summer Games was a success for the athletes of Northern Santa Barbara County. Once again the campus of Long Beach State University played host to the 2009 Summer Games two day event.  Over 2,000 athletes from San Luis Obispo County through San Diego County came out to strut their stuff in athletics, aquatics, basketball, bocce, tennis, and golf.

Thirty athletes from Lompoc and Santa Maria represented our region.  Everyone did a wonderful job! We would like to thank the athletes, coaches, and volunteers for another memorable experience!

For more information on Special Olympics please contact Brian Zepeda at 925-0951 ext. 135 or email bzepeda@ci.santa-maria.ca.us.
