    THOMAS, I agree, the only way to get our country back, is in NOVEMBER! ………. I live VERY close to the Border, and know FIRST hand about illegals! I applaud our Gov., Jan Brewer, for having the courage to sign that bill! Our county, YUMA COUNTY has an unemployment of 27%. The Mexican people who work the fields here ARE very hard workers, but, like in all states, there are those who live on welfare, and don’t want to work. I know SEVERAL people in the little farming community I live in, who have been trying for 2 years to find a job! With 27% unemployment, THERE ARE NO JOBS!!…..I would like to tell ALL the people who live 3000 miles from Arizona, “UNTIL” you come and live here for a year, on the Border, keep your mouths shut. You don’t KNOW what you are talking about! I live in a SMALL farming community, east of Yuma, Az. I would say the population here is probably 90% Mexican. They are not harrassed by anyone, and it were known, about half of them are illegal. I don’t think illegals should be able to collect wefare OR Social Security, they don’t pay into it, why she from everyone else who has?

    This is a real slap in the face to all the people who worked all their life only to end up sick and unable to work. NO cost of living and no stimulus that Obama wanted all due to the fact that our Democratic congree voted it down–but did they vote down their high salaries and paid medical benefits–no way would never happen.

    I live on SSDI and an a widow but not old enought to claim widow bebefits on what my spouse made.

    I cant qualify for medicaide or food stamps or anything.

    and I am really tired of people who put people who are retired or who are on disability as being freeloaders—all I have to say to them is wait–your turn is quickly coming

    I agree with Susan about the welfare and social security going to the illegals who have NOT paid into it NOR have they paid taxes. They tax our system so that Americans who REALLY need the help can’t get it. I am sick to death of illegals coming into this country and taking advantage of every American tax paying citizen who has worked all their lives and paid in to a system that is suppose to help support them in retirement. There isn’t enough money for that now because of government and illegals. I am disabled and unable to work. I get a small disability check and Medicare medical, but nothing else. My prescriptions cost me close to $500 a month and that is 3/4s of my income. Thanks to the pharmcutical makers and the pharmacies drug costs are out of reach for most of us so we go without. I could use that $250 check to pay some of my medical bills before they go to collection. One more thing, Obama DID NOT cause this mess. Bush did it. If you remember correctly, Bush set up those payouts to the big insurance companies and big businesses before Obama took office. That was one of the last things he did before he left and because it was already set up poor Obama had to finish what Bush started. I knew that when Obama got voted in that he was going to be blamed for everything that Bush did because he is a Democrat. During the campaigns there was lot of mud slinging going on and it wasn’t by the Dems it was by the Republicians. They cannot not stand it when they are not in power so they dig for dirt and if they can’t find any they make something up. This government is suppose to be by the people and for the people. As I see it, it is a government for the government and all the money that they can get into their pockets for THEM. They retire with full pay and benefits, does anyone else in this country get those types of benefits? NO. When are we Americans going to take back our country and our government? Our freedom of speech was attacked when Bush had an 82 year old women thrown in jail for carrying an anti-Bush poster. Look it up for yourselves on SNOPES.com. Now we have news blackouts about the oil spill because the government and BP doesn’t want us to know how bad it really is. No more freedom people, it is slowly being taken away from us and Americans don’t even realize it. WAKE up America and see what is going on around you. If you don’t, you will one day wake up to a communistic government. Then what will you think?

    I know that my husband and I could use the $250.00 dollars also. We are both disable. We are better off than some of the ones on retirement; but with the price of everything going up food, gas for the car, utilities, insurance , etc. We find it harder and harder to pay everything. You have plan b and d you have to pay for and when you go to get help they don’t take the cost of having medical bills off even so you can at least get help with the utilities. We make to much. I know if my husband and I got a divorce we would both get help but together we don’t. No raise, no $250; social security people got left behind as always. But cost of living keeps going up.

    Linda: I know what you are saying. When my husband and I got our yearly SS statement on what we will be getting paid for the year, ours said that because the economy was so bad that we wouldn’t be getting a raise in our Social Security checks for 3 years. THREE YEARS. Now how STUPID is that? With the cost of living going up around us everyday, and they say we don’t need a raise. I think that they are looking for a way to legally put euthanasia into effect for those of us on SS because we CAN’T afford high medical bills or the cost of our prescriptions.

    There are so many people out there that take advantage of the wellfare system. People like us who rely on SSDI, it isn’t fair. This is our oportunity to get help. I hope that we will get a stimules check of $250. I sure could use it! Especially for my medical bills!

    I Just got off the phone with Social Security. There will Be NO Stimulas Check only to those who fell in the doughnut hole of paying full price for medical coverage and medications. YES!! Bush started this mess giving away money former President Clinton Had in resevere for Socical Security. President Obama is putting the icing on the cake. I have worked and paid in taxes now I’m disabled and widowed. I choose every month what I can or can not pay. President Obama is a BIG dissapointment to all who are on Social Security and disability. Why should we work and pay taxes when illegals are reeping ALL our benifits. WAKE UP AMERICA AND FIGHT FOR OUR AMERICAN RIGHTS!! If we stand back and do nothing we are not only going to loose our rights as American’s also as Christian’s. If you are interested about Obama cancelling our National Day of Prayer but having a National Day of Prayer between the White house and the Capitol Buliding for over 50-thousands Muslam’s go to this web site ( http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/). It will SHOCK YOU!! If you would like to e-mail me for more infomation feel free to do so at hoo.tiej@hotmail.com..OUR NATION IS IN DANGER!! Judy Davidson

    I’ve been wondering about the Stimulus for awhile now and I’m glad to know whats going on now. I have to admit that I’m a registered democrat but I think I’m going to change my parties. My daughter and I are on SSI disability. I’m on it because I gave up most of life to stay home to take care of my mom. I had to quit school to take care of her and I got my GED over 20 years later after she passed away. I only get $654.00 a month to live on and this state only lets us have $76.00 a month in Food Stamps to eat on but yet others who have double our income are getting $300.00 or more in Food Stamps. I’ve appealed it but they tell me that these people aren’t getting that amount and I’m getting what I’m suppose to. But I’ve seen what they get and they pay out the same as we do for rent and utility’s. So right now that money would have helped buy us some food.
    My health is getting worse right now and even my freinds and neighbors have noticed it. I wish there was a Time Machine and we could go back and remember everything that has happened and re-do the election all over again. Because right now when the next term comes around I don’t who to I’ll be able to trust anymore after what has just happened these past couple of years. I totally lost all faith!!!!!

    Like alot of Americans on S/S, yes we could use a $250.00 Stimulast Check or any kind of check. The way things are going in this country, is kinda like the Roman Empire, do we even have a goverment or is it more like a dictatorship. I used to feel like we were the best but it seems to be changeing, I always looked at this country as the best but something seems wrong with things happening in this country. I hate letting all the trouble makers off the hook, but I always refer to the lord for help, and we all should do the same. Praise the Lord.

    IT’S ONLY BEFITTING THAT CONGESS EITHER NOTIFY THE CITZENS OF THE UNITED STATE AS TO WHETHER WE’RE GETTING $250 STIMULUS CHECK OR NOT. SIMPLY TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT THERES A CHANCE GIVES THEM HOPE. SO EITHER WE ARE OR WE’RE NOT. WHICH ONE IS IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON NATIONAL NEWS.

    You all are all so full of it. It took Bushy 2 years to erase the surplus and 6 more to run up the deficit by billions and billions, running 2 illegal wars (at the estimated cost of $10billion a month… do the math. It will certainly take more than 2 years just to sift through the rubble, nevermind turn things around. By the way, Haliburton (amongst several other Bush friends) made billions too, while you and I got nothing but a major recession and no cost of living increase.
    It is my opinion, as an independent voter and disabled Vet, that we should elect the most anti-corporation/rich people candidates as can be found and give them the same opportunity to make a difference as it took the last admin. to f#&>k it up (that’s six more years if you can’t figure it out. You know, ones that are on our side and not the 2% who own most of the wealth.
    We also need to find reps. and sens. who are not afraid to stand up and face off with the radical conservatives that will destroy our wonderful land of freedom and choice.
    THINK for god’s sake. Don’t just accept the demonizing of people who are doing their best to help the working poor and the middle class and don’t be ignorant and jump on a bandwagon that is headed foe disaster.

    First off what religion Obama chooses to follow is of his own business. In case you have forgotten we have the right for freedom of religion in this country. What does his religious beleifs have anything to do with weather we get a stimulus check or not.
    Just another religious fanactic trying to blame it on anyone whom does not share the Judeo/Christian belief. Bush and his cronies put us into this position Obama simply was elected into the mess as 8 years of mismanagement hit the fan. The republicans make sure that they are in the lowest or in the exemption of taxes. The wealthest americans need to pick up their fair share of taxes or go to jail. so lay off Obama throw at all career polititions and start over. They either work with us we the people or their asses are out next election!!!
