Hey Gang,
Last week I received an email that seemed legit. It came from my friend Tri in Indonesia. I opened it and my virus detector stopped a virus from taking hold. I found out she never sent it.
Today I received and email from Steve and something similar happened to him. Steve writes:
Carey...what is this. It asked for my cell phone number so I exited out.

Friends, I did not send this emal to Steve!!! It has to be a virus. I am not sure how these people are doing this or how we can stop it. Its scary that they are using addresses we know.
Does anyone have advice on how to be certain if an email is actually from a friend?

health care brought to you by big government
I was just watching cable news and the CEO of Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Delos Cosgrove, was being asked by reporter Shapiro his thoughts on the health care bill.
Three points stuck out, cost, disease control and hospitals will have to share.
The CEO said how will health care be paid we are not sure, this administration is not even sure. What a marvelous plan!
Disease control such as smoking and obesity will have to be addressed. Are we ready for more social police telling you what to do, eat and behave?
And sharing amongst hospitals to afford this big bill. In other words maybe in time one hospital system which means of course less choice and in the end inferior service. You get what we got and thats it.
You wanted socialism, well its cometh!
GC: A lot of people watching the health-care debate are thinking that they're going to see their costs stop rising.
The total bill for health care for the country is going to continue to go up. Individual costs may come down in terms of what people pay for insurance, but they're going to pay for it in a different way -- in taxes, one way or another.
GC: President Obama has to some extent demonized the insurance companies. What's their proper role in the system?
We're going to have to have some form of insurance, whether it's run by the government or run privately. Insurance runs on the basis that everybody contributes, whether you're sick or not, and it's there for you when you are sick, and the people who are well help support the people who are not. We're going to have to have some sort of pooling of financial support.
Most countries have a two-part system: They have a government program, and on top of that they have the ability to have private insurance. I hate to think that we're going to have a two-tiered system in the U.S., but we may well. (The reason a lot of people opt for a two-tiered system is because in most cases what the government provides fails so you need a back up plan- CKM)

Representative Kings discharge petition for Obama care
My favorite congressman Representative Steven King of Iowa, whom I would love to see make a run for president, has brought to the house a discharge petition for Obama care. Please read this thoroughly and click on the links.
CKM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Congressman King's petition is great beginning to ObamaCare's repeal
Months after the worst piece of legislation in American history -- and the most costly piece of legislation estimated to cost upwards of $2.5 trillion -- was passed, the massive effort to repeal Obamacare is growing. Polls show that this highly unpopular piece of socialism is still opposed by the American people as much as it was during the year-long debate and votes in the Democrat-controlled Congress.
A solid majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed. Even the selfish corporations, which gave the final impetus to passing Obamacare by supporting it, are now realizing what a terrible pact with the devil they made to cut out special exemptions for themselves. They are dropping health care plans, increasing health care costs to their employees, and writing off huge expenses due to the imposition of Obamacare on their companies, etc.
Now one of the most activist and courageous members of the United States Congress, Iowa Republican Congressman Steve King, has stepped forward to begin the arduous task of repealing Obamacare.
What Congressman Steve King has done is to introduce a discharge petition, which is a very public way of knowing which member of the House of Representatives who talks about repeal of Obamacare -- and there are a lot of moderate Democrats who say they want to repeal Obamacare to the voters in their congressional districts -- will actually vote for repeal of Obamacare. This will get them on record before the November election.
Indeed, with the new rules regarding the discharge petition procedure which a previous Republican-controlled Congress installed, American citizens can check this link to the Clerk of the House's website each and every day to see if their Congressman has signed the discharge petition: http://clerk.house.gov/111/lrc/pd/petitions/Dis11.htm
Once 218 members of the House of Representatives sign the discharge petition, Speaker Nancy Pelosi must bring the legislation to repeal Obamacare up for a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Already, all the members of the House Republican leadership -- including next year's probable new Speaker of the House, Congressman John Boehner, the House Republican Leader -- have signed on to Congressman King's discharge petition. Undoubtedly, most, if not all, of the 177 Republicans will be signing the discharge petition. Their constituents, of course, may check each day by clicking on the link to see if their Republican congressman has signed the discharge petition.
If all House Republicans sign Congressman King's discharge petition beginning the process of abolishing the abominable Obamacare legislation, 41 Democrats in the House will also need to sign the discharge petition. Americans need to put pressure on Democrat Congressmen, especially in districts which President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain won (and there are over 60 of those congressional districts which Democrats now control) to sign Congressman King's discharge petition.
Americans need to follow-up each day by going to the House Clerk's link and see if their member of the House of Representatives has signed on to the discharge petition. If they have not signed it, voters should contact their relatives, friends and neighbors to ensure that these Democrats who say they are for repeal actually sign the discharge petition.
Congressman Steve King has a special message to all Americans willing to help in this major effort to repeal Obamacare: "My friends, Congress will be out for 11 days starting from tomorrow, in that period of time I encourage all interested citizens and outside groups to republish the link that shows the list of those who have signed on to the discharge petitions. If you happen to see a member your group is familiar with or happen to see your own congressman, that has not signed onto the discharge petition, please call them immediately and urge them to sign right away. The final outcome of this discharge petition hinges on our grassroots, our conservative coalition groups and all concerned Americans. I thank you all for the support and look forward to seeing you at a future meeting soon."
This discharge petition on the part of Congressman Steve King is a very noble effort which should encourage all Americans who are disgusted at the sharp leftward turn the Obama administration and the Democrat-controlled Congress have taken America. Just this week, the Democrats in the House of Representatives "deemed" a budget to be passed (i.e. pretended they passed a budget) because even they were embarassed by the trillion dollar deficits year and year and year in their budgets.
Recently, Congressman Steve King and his partner in this effort to get 218 signatures on the discharge petition, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Republican from Minnesota, wrote this to their fellow members of the U.S. House of Representatives:
"...Since Obamacare was signed into law, the American people have become more and more opposed to it. With every new day, Americans learn more about the detrimental provisions that were tucked into the bill's 3,000 pages. They've seen the cost estimates skyrocket, and they've come to realize that they will not, in fact, get to keep the insurance that they currently have. Americans want this law repealed completely. Now it's time to turn up the heat. Now it's time to demand a vote. Unfortunately, in Congress the Speaker has almost total control over which bills are allowed a vote on the floor. In the case of the repeal of Obamacare, a discharge petition is the only way that the American people will get a vote in the House - so long as Nancy Pelosi holds the Speaker's gavel.
The American public is growing increasingly distrustful of politicians. The effort to move a discharge petition will allow the American people to separate the pretenders from those who are truly committed to repealing Obamacare. While individual Members can make this or that argument against signing on as a cosponsor of repeal legislation, a discharge petition puts the question in a different and simpler way: Do you want to repeal Obamacare or not?
The American people want action, and through the discharge petition, we can give them a very clear means by which to measure the effort of Congress to repeal Obamacare...."
All Americans who do not want to pass along these trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see to their children and grandchildren, need to step up and help Congressman Steve King get the 218 signatures on the discharge petition to repeal Obamacare."

Carey's current look at current events
Hey Gang,
I found a couple of industries that are busy and doing well. Yes even in this wonderful economy there is dollars to be made.
I met someone who sells and installs cabinetry. He said they are booming and can't keep up. I put this is my computer for a second and out came Who would be buying all these cabinets, would it be the government for HUD? His reply, Umm well yeah, but still we're busy.
Business number two. One of my clients is a foot doctor, OK for you tech heads podiatrist. I asked his wife if Obama care will be benefiting them. She said I am not sure, though I know right now my husband is very busy. Again I put this in my computer and the thought that registered was of course he is busy, people can't afford to drive so they are walking more and the more people walk the better the chance of sore feet. Maybe Obama really is business friendly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seen on Ebay: Basketball team for sale. Aging center, inconsistent point guard, lacking super star - Great fixer upper! Location Cleveland. Opening bid .99 cents. Free shipping.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know.... Jesse Jackson has to be one of my favorite people to quote for dumb things said. Like this last whopper by Jesse Jackson when he said that LeBron was like an escaping slave. C'mon Jesse even a person born yesterday knows escaping slaves never head south.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The good thing about all this LeBron hype in Cleveland is it has made us forget how awful the Indians are. Whoops, sorry to remind you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I told you before LeBron did campaign for Obama. So his decision to leave Cleveland really is a no brainer as he is just following Obama's socialist plan of haves and have nots. In basketball Miami is the haves and Cleveland is the have nots.
And thats the way the ball bounces.

LeBron n Oil
Well Friends it looks like my early prediction may come true. As I told my close friends and family weeks ago LeBron has 2 real options. And they are not NY or Chi-Town.
Playing in the shadow of Jordan in Chicago is not a good fit for LBJ's ego. NY & NJ has to much rebuilding to do and by the time they get all the right pieces in play LeBron could be close to 30.
So where does the indicators point to? Miami or Cleveland or ready for this... a real wild card, a western conference team - maybe Denver.
Why Miami? Well his good friend Dwayne Wade is down there and with the acquisition of Chris Bosh and Miami being a bigger market this would be a nice fit.
Why Cleveland? Perfect for his ego, nothing or anyone can challenge his demands, and a chance to set personal records that may never be reachable. He owns Cleveland now but if he resigns the city could even give him the keys and rename neighborhoods after him. Thats how lame Cleveland is. Pinning all their hopes on a sports player.
Western conference team? Just a wild hunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its pretty tiring hearing all this talk about a basketball player who has never won anything. Even if he has, leading off all news channels with sports updates is ridiculous. Maybe local Cleveland broadcasts because LeBron does bring in the dollars but national TV stations, such as CNN, when the world has far more serious concerns is a sad commentary on America.
America's love for sports icons supersedes real issues for the majority of Americans. People would rather eat chips, play arm chair quarterback and talk sports rather than discuss politics or religion. People know more about a teams starting lineup than their elected officials. And people know more about sports statistics than they do about issues and legislation that could affect their jobs and way of life. Sad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The spike cometh.
The oil game is being played again. Oil was down to about $71 and change it is now at over $75 per barrel. My hunch is a spike to over $85, I pray I am wrong.
The price of oil is so hard to judge unlike the stock market. The stock market rises when consumer confidence, growth and spending are up or hopes of Republicans being elected. You have the opposite and it falls.
With oil it can spike with fear of regulation, fear of shortages or when times are good and there is an increase of demand. For oil to drop you almost need a perfect calm, stock market steady, consumer confidence slowly gaining and/or stagnant to slow rise in demand.
If you want to alleviate some of this instability you need to drill baby drill.

Coming to Ohio? Lets hope
OHIOANS - Conservative Republican Ohio Senator Tim Grendell supports the Ohio Sovereignty Amendment and I have found that Sen. Grendell supports 99% of what I support 99% of the time. He's a good man that I've consistently voted for for every position he's run for and I have never regretted my vote. -- Donna

Registered voters might be asked to read a lengthy document for November ballot placement, then read it again to approve or disapprove the issue in the actual final Election Day decision.
That’s the Ohio Sovereignty Amendment.
The proposed Ohio Constitution change “expressly declares that Ohio citizens declare sovereignty over the state and their authority to alter or abolish government,” according to the amendment.
Among many issues, voters would be asked to:
* Give the people new power to recall any public officeholders by means of petition “whenever they deem necessary.”
* Mandate that recall vacancies be filled by the governor only with applicants nominated by citizens.
* “Substantially redefine the people’s right to bear arms (excluding explosives, biological and chemical systems).”
* “Secure the people’s right to operate their militia.”
* Require that all Ohio laws be “constitutionally compliant” before being enacted.
* Make the sheriff’s office “expressly preserved” in the Ohio Constitution and “not subject to infringement” by state legislators.
* Prohibit “federal or foreign agencies from enforcement activities in Ohio except through the sheriff at his sole discretion.”
* Give the Ohio Supreme Court new power to suspend “any law it deems to be unconstitutional.”
* Mandate that juries “may be comprised only of Ohio citizens.”
* Mandate that sovereignty “be supported in all schools in Ohio.”
* Declare that any attempts to “subvert the Constitution” are “not pardonable” by the governor if such acts are “deliberate or substantial subversive acts.”
In literature being distributed statewide, Michael Young, leader of the People’s Constitution Coalition of Ohio, wrote:
“The proposed amendment is not an attempt to secede from the union, to overthrow government or attack any race or culture. It simply provides the means by which the people can protect their rights and liberties with minimal government interference.
“(The proposed amendment) was constructed to hold government in compliance with and accountable to our state and federal constitutions. It provides the legal mechanisms that people need to ‘effectively and efficiently’ fulfill their duty in holding government accountable.
“There has not been a constitutionally compliant government in the United States for over 150 years. As a result, we find ourselves suffering today from a collapsing economy, perpetual debt, loss of our industrial base, surrendering of American sovereignty and destruction of our Christian heritage.”

Abolish the EPAs by Dave Macko
The federal Environmental Protection Agency was established by executive order by Nixon. Congress did not establish it.
It is not authorized by the Constitution and should be repealed.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Environmental_Protection_Agency Ohio's EPA was created on October 23, 1972 just after the state income tax was imposed so that the government could squander more money. But I was unable to find out the date of founding at my quick inspection of the EPA's own site. Are they trying to hide something?
The EPA's site tells how they want to regulate every aspect of your life, including the air in your home.
If anyone pollutes air or water they should be charged with trespass and compelled to repair the damage which they have caused. We have courts for that purpose. For this reason the federal and state EPA's should be abolished.
We got along without EPA for almost 170 years. We can do so again.

TAX-oline
Hey Gang,
I have been juggling back and forth between the research of the socialist lead law and the oil spill. But right now I need to write about the latest taxes being proposed by the Democrats. One increase is for .18 cents, the other is .42 cents. Both are for gasoline. I don't even remember their names who spoke this nonsense, I was so upset when I heard it I almost threw my toaster at the TV.
The .18 cent hike would be for road improvements as people are driving less because of the recession and the high price of gas. The result of less driving is less tax revenue being generated for road maintenance. This lady said .18 cents is not that much less than a penny per mile since new cars average about 25 mpg.
OK think of how goofy these people are. There is less people driving because of high prices and as a result less tax revenue being generated for road repairs. The solution? Raise gas tax which raises gas prices which means people will drive even less and even less tax will be generated for road repair so you will need to raise gas tax again and..... Are you following this pattern?
The other tax hike of .42 cents would be for environmental clean up in cases of oil spills. It didn't take long for the tax-oholics to spot this opportunity.
So lets add this up. Currently in Ohio the gas tax is about .47 cents per gallon of gas, add .18 for road repair, .42 for clean up and you have a nice little figure of only $1.07 per gallon.
But remember the average new car gets 25 mpg. So lets figure you drive annually about 12,000 miles. 12,000 divided by 25, the mpg of the average new car, and you get 480 gallons of gas, times that by $1.07 and that equals out to only $513.60 annually just for your gas tax bill for your car.
C'mon thats nothing. VP Biden said its patriotic to pay your taxes. So think of it every time you fill up as your patriotic duty.
And our friend EGore, he must be loving this. If you remember he declared war on the internal combustion engine. Furthermore why should he care. He doesn't need to drive anywhere. Al's going to be nice and cozy staying home in the sprawling estate he bought on the west coast.

Did they ever think of suspending the hideous and dangerous walls they are putting up along side the freeway at 1.8 million dollars per mile to cut the road repair shortfall?
I have been juggling back and forth between the research of the socialist lead law and the oil spill. But right now I need to write about the latest taxes being proposed by the Democrats. One increase is for .18 cents, the other is .42 cents. Both are for gasoline. I don't even remember their names who spoke this nonsense, I was so upset when I heard it I almost threw my toaster at the TV.

Here you go friends read it for yourself and WORRY! Welcome to communism.
This is the place, Glass Doctor, that I contacted to buy two more of the remaining windows I need at my rental. He wouldn't sell me the windows outright. So then I thought OK lets have them installed at a much greater cost and purchase them through Itex, a barter business association, that my cleaning business as well as the Glass Doctor belongs to. NOPE! Can't do that either.
Itex has really helped my cash situation as I have been bartering more and more. But now I can't even barter for windows???
Here's some figures for you on my one rental:
2003 bought the house, property tax about $965, now $1,663.86, rental fees $75.00 per year, trash fees just added $108 per year. Add that up, that is an additional $883.86 per year and now to upgrade the condition of the house is going to cost WAY MORE to remove windows that DON'T even have the original paint and that I could of done prior to April 20, 2010.
I am just sick to my stomach. Since 2005 when we elected the Democrats back into office its been an onslaught on our liberties.
Let me hear from you if you own a pre-1978 house. This is serious, don't hide your head in the sand, if it doesn't affect you now wait until you have to remodel or sell your house.
Carey, Given the age of this property, new EPA regulations require special procedures due to lead based paint. We are not able to do this through trade. Please let me know if you want to proceed under cash basis.
Best regards,
Matt - Glass Doctor
THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR CARS, WHAT WE DO TO THEM AND HOW WE DRIVE IN THEM - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR OLD CARS AND USED OUR MONEY TO CRUSH THEM - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR BANKS - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR HOUSES, 35% OF THE HOUSES IN THE US ARE NOW GOVERNMENT OWNED - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR HOMES WITH MANDATORY INSIDE INSPECTIONS AND REMODELING - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER HEALTHCARE - THEY HAVE TAKEN OVER WHAT KIND OF LIGHT-BULBS WE USE - THEY ARE TAKING OVER OUR MILITARY AND HOW ITS RUN - THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE INTERNET. WHATS LEFT THE VERY ACT OF LIVING ITSELF???
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Carey Masci
p.s. This has nothing to do with the quality of work or the way Glass Dr. does business. This has to do strictly with the EPA ruling that is forcing Glass Dr. to comply or face LARGE FINES of up to $36,000.00 for each violation.

Wayne sends this important info - careys research on the EPA lead law
Friends,
My friend Wayne is as incensed as we all are of the power of the EPA. No one is advocating pre-1970 standards but common sense needs to be applied. America is quickly becoming a Stalinist state while countries like China are growing and polluting far more than America is. EPA is suppose to protect the environment. What are they doing snooping around in people's houses trying to save us? Its not about our health, its about control.
Carey Masci
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally.... a Resolution/Bill proposed to cut the power of the EPA. ..be assured.... neither Casey nor Specter signed on to it. In the House version a few PA Reps had the cajones and a lot of Ohio Reps signed on. I do feel we will ...again... fold like a cheap suit and allow them to continue their unelected power position but this is showing even legislators are starting to question the powers of the EPA.
If jobs is what we need.... we need to rein in the EPA to a controlable level. There is a point where it goes too far. Then again, all who know me know of the "love" I have for the EPA, DEP and assorted uncontrolled money pits.

Finally someone understands
Ultimately, zoning, property taxes, lead laws and all such evil laws and regulations lead to one result, the abolition of private property in land, which the degenerate enemy of the human racewho founded the "modern" doctrine, Karl Marx, identified as Communism.
If I am elected I will work to abolish the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Our environment and, more importantly, our liberties, are best defended by the common law.
As for the fedgov EPA, which Nixon established by executive order, not by an act of Congress which is supposed to make all federal laws, this agency and its edicts are certainly prime targetsfor nullification and interposition by the state legislature.

This article is from a few weeks ago. Something caught my attention and had to share it with you.
AP - President Barack Obama moved aggressively to show his government is in charge of the Gulf oil spill on Thursday, calling the spill an "unprecedented disaster" and blasting a "scandalously close relationship" between oil companies and regulators.
Ok did you see it? Let me point it out in case you didn't. I will highlight what jumped out at me.

Since when is this Obama's government? I don't ever remember our American government being referred to as President Reagan's or President Bush's or actually any other president as His government.
We have a problem folks. Correct me if I am wrong.

Have you ever dressed like this??
Hey Gang,
Look at this link and please tell me if you ever dressed like this scraping and painting your pre-1978 home? I wear a dust mask and t-shirt and drink coffee.
Someone is making money on this.
Carey Masci
Pretty soon your house may be inspected for fast food residue!
From an EPA worker: home owners, contractors and real estate - careys research on the EPA lead law
Friends,
I am continuing on about the EPA law concerning pre-1978 homes. It is vital that I do.
Its one thing to have liberties and freedoms taken away out side of home, you can always retreat to your house, after all a mans home is his castle - right? But more and more property and homeowner rights have come under attack. Once this basic right is gone where does a person go?
I have been pounding away at educating people of the Fourth Amendment for 2 years since Euclid came after me concerning the rental houses I own. I warned you back then what next a residency permit to live in your own house? Well wake up, it can't be that far off if we don't do something now to protect property rights.
Read below what a friend sent me. She emailed my rant about the replacement windows to her cousin who works for the EPA. This is her cousins reply. I will comment in a follow up email plus I have more info from Wayne and what he is trying to do do repeal the lead law.
Carey Masci
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I work for Ohio EPA, not U.S. EPA, but this is true for the most part. You actually don't have to have a certified installer, but if you don't use one, it could hurt you later when you try to sell your home. The issue isn't the window, it's the lead paint that was used until 1978. Lead is a very hazardous substance and causes mental and neurological problems in chlidren. Many children have been poisoned over the years from exposure to lead paint in older homes and apartments.
Here's an article:http://content.usatoday.com/communities/greenhouse/post/2010/03/lack-of-epa-certified-workers-could-stall-home-remodeling/1 . Or go to U.S. EPA's web site and do some research.
Frankly, I personally wouldn't do much renovation work on a home that might contain lead paint. I offered to paint the out buildings on grandpa's farm last year. The new people moving in want the buildings scraped and painted. I told mom I wouldn't go near scraping those buildings and they should hire a pro company because I'm sure there is lead-based exterior paint underneath the outer layer of paint.
If your friend is renting or selling a property, the federal real estate law already requires him to verify that it is free of lead paint, or disclose if the residence DOES contain lead paint. Here is information on that:http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/enforcement/disclosure.cfm
Here's another good brochure: http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/leadpdfe.pdf
Feel free to forward this to your friend. He should be able to buy the windows and install them himself, especially if he is going to live there. He would just be risking losing money on the sale if he ever tries to sell it. I also think he would be risking a lawsuit if he doesn't take steps to make sure the property is either lead-free, or use a certified installer to do the work and take care of the lead paint in the process. What if there is lead and he rents it to someone with kids and the kids get lead poisoning? It's a big liability issue and, speaking peronally, for the cost of a few hundred dollars more, it would be worth having the peace of mind.
I'm sorry he thinks it's socialism - unless protecting children and society at large from hazardous material is socialism. He's free to poison himself if he wants, but not someone else. I'd think we are past the days of landlords being free to exploit renters in unsafe housing.

continuing on about the EPA lead law because of its direct impact on property
Friends, I am continuing on about the EPA lead law because of its direct impact on property rights. Please read these posting, these laws will affect you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wayne is a friend who lives in Pa. and is active on Capital Hill for vet rights. Below is his thoughts:
Carey,
I agree with your appallment of the requirement to check for lead in homes built before 1978. What this needs is a conserted effort by contractors that have expressed their limiting them taking jobs on homes older than 1978. Soon, this legislation will also include industrial buildings as well. If the present industrial site has given employment for the last 50 years and wants to revamp and expand by redoing or rebuilding...this could pose a rethink of hiring or even doing this at all. What these people think is that this is good, yet they waited years for this to be put inplace.... How urgent was that?
Now back to the residential homes.... You and I both live in areas of the cities that were put together in the late 19th and early 20th century..... Key word is CENTURY!!! We are now expected to pay for the legal activities of those who came before us??? Another point.... I was raised and still live in a home that is 100 years old. There has to be lead somewhere....from interior to the paint on the outside. So...I am also a Baby Boomer.... we had the LARGEST percentage of people who innovated and invented, from scotch tape, velcro, superglue, to Space Travel and Computers. Does that sound like a generation of people who were conversely affected by Lead Paint?? I would match my High School Diploma of 1966 against any 2 year( and more ) degree from College that any Burger Slinger has today. What we are basing this all on is the Government allowing Slumlords to kennel up low income families in sub level living quarters. Kids who would actually eat the paint chips... ( I never recalled eating any but I am sure PIKA affected snot bubble kids and even some pregnant women have.)
As far as this is all concerned, I think the Government efforts are better served to stop the proliferation of Cadmium laced McDonalds glasses. Our homes have become liabilies to us when we want to fix or sell them. Thus this increases the cost to stay in them or less money at resale.... making our economy slide even faster into this Government directed abyss. We have given and accepted the fact that NON ELECTED ENTITIES can make policy and OMG... LAW!! EPA is the worst of the agencies as is DEP. Even WHO has been shown to have money involved in the Pharm Companies that made H1N1 innoculations while claiming falsely, of the PANDEMIC!!!! I saw this crap with the first Swine Flu Scare... in the 70s.
I also found out.... I think you may have gotten some bad info. You as the home owner, can buy those windows and install them by your own means. I have installed them and it takes about an hour on the high side. I am sure you can find some "guys" who can do the work as "friends" who you would give a certain amount of Monetary "Barter". I think this BS law only affects Contractors, not individuals.
I am checking here in PA for something similar and as of yet it seems to be State Generated. I could be wrong but there has to be an outcry to the politcians and the shakiness of a revote....
Wayne
And Wayne wrote back today with:
Since this I contacted my local legislators and it wasn't in lights here (Pa.) but it is part of the FED EPA and as of yet, no one is pushing. I expressed basically the things I gave you to them and one has responded that they will look into this. They were involved in killing the Feds stopping the tolling of I-80 so there is no reason they can't band together again.
Lets hope Wayne is right or you may find yourself in a battle as I was with Euclid fighting fines and jail time for protecting my property rights.

News from Euclid
Hey Gang,
An IM from a friend:
hey Carey I ran into former Euclid Mayor candidate Chris Litinowitcz. He needs money to fix a flat he is going to start pan handling innocent citizens for the cash. Which is highly illegal in Euclid.
Rich called and asked did you listen to the Mike Trivisonno Show? A caller was complaining about Euclid and their new trash fee. This caller said his house has been empty 2 years so he called Euclid City Hall and complained why should he pay the trash pick up fee when he doesn't put out any garbage? Euclid agreed so they reduced his fee by 50%.
Crazy days indeed.
I was at my friend Bruce's garage sale in Mentor on Saturday. I had the health care petition with me. I asked a man if he would sign it. He said NOPE, it doesn't matter, even if you get your amendment passed they (politicians) will still do what they want. Take Euclid, I use to live there. We voted against that housing development and they still went ahead with it.
At Dollar General the cashier, an older gentleman, was talking to a customer about how Euclid imposed a trash fee and ready for this he told her, a street light fee! I had to chime in and said I know, I keep saying it, white flight is only part of Euclid's problem. He said I agree, they have high taxes, low services, they are killing the city. I bought my parents house because I love the area but now I am stuck.
Hmmm another white man not bothered by blacks moving in. Just had to make sure you got the point.
And the beat down goes on......
CKM
What does Dave Macko have to say about housing inspections and regulations?
No city, county, township or other local jurisdiction shall prohibit the owner of any property from letting anyone he wishes live in such property. Any other position is communism, the abolition of private property in land.
Likewise, all property taxes should be repealed and outlawed. Zoning should be phased out, with restrictive covenants reestablished to prevent disorder.

An IM from a friend:
hey Carey I ran into former Euclid Mayor candidate Chris Litinowitcz. He needs money to fix a flat he is going to start pan handling innocent citizens for the cash. Which is highly illegal in Euclid.
Rich called and asked did you listen to the Mike Trivisonno Show? A caller was complaining about Euclid and their new trash fee. This caller said his house has been empty 2 years so he called Euclid City Hall and complained why should he pay the trash pick up fee when he doesn't put out any garbage? Euclid agreed so they reduced his fee by 50%.
Crazy days indeed.
I was at my friend Bruce's garage sale in Mentor on Saturday. I had the health care petition with me. I asked a man if he would sign it. He said NOPE, it doesn't matter, even if you get your amendment passed they (politicians) will still do what they want. Take Euclid, I use to live there. We voted against that housing development and they still went ahead with it.
At Dollar General the cashier, an older gentleman, was talking to a customer about how Euclid imposed a trash fee and ready for this he told her, a street light fee! I had to chime in and said I know, I keep saying it, white flight is only part of Euclid's problem. He said I agree, they have high taxes, low services, they are killing the city. I bought my parents house because I love the area but now I am stuck.
Hmmm another white man not bothered by blacks moving in. Just had to make sure you got the point.
And the beat down goes on......

Carey's humorous look at un-humorous events
Hey Gang,
The recent floods in Tennessee did a lot of damage. The only bright spot was that they happened in Nashville, the Capital of Country Music. So I am sure you can expect a flood, I mean a slew of new songs being released because of it.
Songs like "I was trolling for my Ford but snagged your John Deere" - "My dog was swept away but the cat fishing's been great" - "You left me high and dry just when the flood left me low and wet" - "I told you not to leave the bass boat was needed".
I think we are expecting to much from Obama concerning the oil in the gulf. I mean he can't even stop the flow of illegal aliens and now we expect him to stop the flow of oil.
What does BP stand for? BIG PROBLEMS!
Representative Kucinich has vowed his soul to Obama in exchange for another 550 million in bailout funds for Cleveland. Dennis wants to use the money to keep LeBron James in Cleveland.
People are still blaming Bush for everything. The other day I over heard someone say its Bush's fault the Cavs lost to the Celtics.
Al and Tipper Gore are getting a divorce. Tipper said Al was so concerned their steamy love making was contributing to global warming that he became very frigid.
Citibank has supposedly fired a female worker because her beauty was distracting. Maybe they were just jealous because her figure was a lot better than the figures of Citibank.
And that gets you updated.

home owners, contractors and realtors - careys research on the EPA lead law
Friends, my email titled I can't believe this..... really hit home. I received lots of feedback and links to this new EPA law. You need to read this carefully if you are a home owner, prospective home buyer, contractor or into real estate, I guess that would include just about everyone.
My comments are in red. I will be sending another email soon from someone in the EPA.
Carey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A huge problem with this country is it’s need to certify and permit everything under the sun. Someone may point to the old snake oil salesmen etc and protection from scams but it is a huge problem that an agency that is not elected can actually have the force of law.
At the EPA site, they also have an official “rat someone out” hotline. Now tell me that doesn’t sound like Nazi Germany.
Maryanne
Think about this.... 1978 is 32 years ago.... Do you know how much time that is? They are chasing a dinosaur! I am sure a lot of these houses don't even have the original paint or windows but if they do they probably have been altered and/or modified over the years. If it was so dangerous get everyone out of their houses - NOW.
Q. What is the new EPA Law? A. In summary, the law states that all renovators and maintenance professionals that work in housing, childcare facilities and schools built prior to 1978 that are removing or disturbing more than six square feet of lead-based paint in a room or twenty square feet on the exterior must be trained and certified in the handling, clean up and disposal of these materials.

Maryanne
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It passed in 2008, went into effect 2010, basically so you don't disturb lead-based paint. There might be a loophole if there is no one under 6 yrs of age living in the home, Im not sure. You can be certified after a 8 hr course.

EPA Requirements
Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children.
To protect against this risk, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning April 22, 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination.
EPA requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices. Individuals can become certified renovators by taking an eight-hour training course from an EPA-approved training provider. Learn how to become an EPA certified firm and where to take a training course near you.

OK think about this.... April 2008 was when this law was made and now it is being enforced. IF it was so crucial and dangerous why did they wait the 2 years? C'mon people wake up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i dont read it that way. it says "CONTRACTORS" have to be certified. YOU aren't a contracter. you are a private individual.
if you still read it your way, that would mean everyone would have to hire a contracter to put a window in their own home. i've gone to lowes and 84 lumber,etc. here and bought windows without question. my electrician installed them. he is skilled at everything, but not certified.KRISTINE
The place I called here in Cleveland will not sell windows, I have to have them install the windows. YES as I said a place like Lowes and Home Depot you may be able to get away with it.
Your electrician can get away with it, read - get away with it also BUT IF the government finds out and wants to, he can be severly fined because he is a contractor that did not get the new certification.
Also the wording is tricky, if you live in your home you can still install them. Does this nonsense make sense? I live in my house so its less dangerous? THIS IS NOTHING BUT GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE HOUSING MARKET.
Furthermore, what about someone as myself, who has rental property. Am I in violation? I don't live there so does that mean I can't instal windows? Or paint?
Laws this broad, vague and intrusive is scary.
Another thing is cost. Windows will cost more to install because contractors need to be certified and that costs money for training AND if there is lead in the windows or frames will they be deemed hazardous? Will you need Hazmat to haul away your debris? Where will this end? Bad bill!
I would just install them anyway. No one has to know.
Bob
And what happens if the Feds want to inspect? Will I be fined and or jailed?
I haven't heard anything about it here. Not good for you, but hope it's only Ohio. ;-( John in Maine
Unfortunately no John. No one that I spoke with was aware of this bill either. Why weren't we informed of this legislation? How does something THAT CONTROLS your house or property get put into law without our knowledge? It should be buyer beware. If a person is so fearful of lead let them buy elsewhere or have it inspected at their expense. I myself could care less.
Wait till Euclid gets their hands on this.
Just remember my plight with Euclid, it looks like the Feds will be doing the same but worse.
Be afraid very afraid of a bill like this! Home owner rights are going to be a thing of the past.

Homosexuals in the military
Friends,
I am only sending this out to friends who were or are in the military or have spouses that are serving or served. I find it very unsettling that we will be tinkering with the greatest military in existence. When you are a super power why change things? From my civilians viewpoint I find it appalling that homosexuals and lesbians will be serving openly. Its immoral and does nothing for our Christian image. It disgusts me that they will be representing America.
I would like your viewpoint please.
Carey
These were the responses I received.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree with you Carey, but we are no longer, (until "We The People" wake up), a nation of majority, the minority & special interest rule. John in Maine
Most people in the military now don't care. The only problem will be with housing. Men and women are kept separate for many reasons, and you will see some issues on housing when it is repealed.
~PJM
I am a live and let live believer, do what you want, but leave me alone.
Whatever lifestyle you choose is your business…………..but…..
A homosexual person in the military can be easily compromised, blackmailed.
National security is at stake here.
Just like during Vietnam , judges were giving chronic law offenders a choice, go to jail or the military to get straightened out.
I say NO! they were not worthy to be in my fox hole, I would not trust them to watch my back when the rubber hit the road.
And I say NO to homosexuals serving also.
PS> and can you believe that some judges are still offering the choice of military service to offenders.!!
The good thing is, the military will be more selective of who they permit to serve.
Vince
This is my opinion..... Homosexuality is a world wide thing, not just here in the US. If those who practice that choose that lifestyle they will be judged by the lord and not by me. I can pray for those and hope they will see the wrong in that but I will not judge them. If they choose to join the military, and fulfill their duties as they are supposed to, that is also OK with me as long as they do not perform any acts that will bring disgrace to this country. name withheld
(Ummm the act of sodomy is deplorable. Sodomites serving this country openly is a disgrace. What you do in private or in the private sector is one thing, representing this great nation is another)
Thanks everyone for your feedback, as I said I find it appalling that homosexuals could be representing America. I will lose much respect for our military is this is allowed. God will not defend this nation and I wouldn't be surprised to see military defeats in the near future. What someone does in their privacy or in the private sector is one thing, representing a nation is another.
This is what Huckabee said while campaigning for president and its my thoughts also:
"Let me be very clear - what people do in the privacy of their own lives as adults is their business," Huckabee said. "Don’t want to know; don’t need to know......
By the time Obama's is done he will have had his hand in everything and leave untouched nothing. You wanted change, here it is.

Dave Macko's take on: a tale of 2 stories - which is true?
"Ten years ago, I would have dismissed the theory by Sorcha Faal which is reprinted in Godlike Productions without giving it any consideration.
However, the situation has become so ominous, especially since spokesmen for both the Bush and Obama regimes have defended the assertion that the president can have Americans executed without trial, i.e. murdered, that I no longer dismiss such speculation as ungrounded.
In short, I don't know.
We need to turn this country around so that we can be at least reasonably confident that such events are not happening."

Obama Care
IF anyone lives in the Cuyahoga or Lake County area and wants to sign the healthcare petition please let me know, I can come to you. OR if you want to get involved gathering signatures please let me know I can put you in touch with the appropriate party.
For those out of state wishing to repeal mandatory Obama Care and replace it with optional there may be a chapter in your state or contact the head of the Ohio group to learn how to organize this initiative.

Your Words
Hey Gang,
This is a gathering of some the latest responses I had of emails I sent out. Thanks as always for your input and feedback!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More info on the federal mutual fund
This is being pushed by the unions because most union pension plans are under water.
If the unions can manage to get the Feds to raid 401ks and the like and redistribute them, then they can get out of their underfunded pension programs. Most rank and file pension programs are less than 80% funded, which means they are in trouble!
Tiberi is a co-author of the bill.
http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2010/04/08/decrying_the_union_pension_bailout_bill_98411.html
Basically, if the unions get their way, they are setting up the path for the federal mutual fund raid. Pam M.
Mike P's. solution:
Carey: We hear government bemoan every other day that they (local, state, and federal) don't have any money. Several elected officials have told be that just about any government budget is somewhere between 80% - 85% salary, benefits, and pension. I have and idea!
Make some BIG cuts to the salary, benefits and pension of local, state and federal employees. Enough is enough!
Let's stop funding non-essential functions of government.
Cut recreation departments! Close parks! Close libraries! Privatize schools!
Contract out snow plowing, cutting of grass, and most functions of service departments.
Just a few thoughts.

A response from a democrat
Maybe its not needed as most of you know me quite well but I want to add that the reason I sent that email out "response from a democrat" was not to make fun of, show how ignorant, or to make myself look smarter BUT to show what we are up against. How do we educate these people? This is what the liberal anti-God agenda has made.
Slovak Mom says....
Their grammar and spelling are just as stupid as they are....this is a reflection of the idiocy of the electorate...Is it any wonder that "Barry" was elected? ....This is my greatest fear...."an uninformed, and stupid electorate"....I have similar friends and I would like to just "smack them across the head and tell them to wake up....Rome is burning"!
Brilliant insight from John in Maine
Hi Carey, You reach these people by VOTING their leaders that have the same mentality OUT OF OFFICE!!! Guess your friend doesn't know American history, & with blind eyes, no reason to explain it to him/her.

Something that I forgot to post, old news but interesting
Yikes, this was suppose to be sent awhile ago. Just now noticed it sitting in my draft folder

Hey Gang,
As you know Rep. Kucinich caved in and voted for Socialized medicine. Keep things in perspective. He was never on the side of the Right, he was holding out because the health care bill was not liberal enough.
It appears though that Dennis was bought, not for certain but it appears, because suddenly $172 million comes through for Ohio for the foreclosure mess. I want to know who gets the money and how it will be spent. I think that cities with as much corruption as Cleveland money should not be allocated to it until things are cleaned up.
My friend Ter' up in Michigan would like to see this duo.
So lets all get on the band wagon and start to support THIS TICKET for 2012. Gingrich/Palin
Palin said the Republican Party needs new blood and new leaders, "but we also need statesmen and heroes like John McCain in there to help us get through these challenging times."
When Sarah said these words while stumping for McCain she slipped a couple of notches in my standings. A speaker at the National Tea Party said their anger is also aimed at rhino Republicans. Well if Sarah is suppose to be our answer she needs to distance herself from rhinos like McCain. She owes him nothing, in fact McCain owes her. Even though he lost she revived his candidacy and made it a closer race. It would of been a lot uglier without her.

10 THINGS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HEALTH CARE REFORM
1. Once reform is fully implemented, over 95% of Americans will have health insurance coverage, including 32 million who are currently uninsured.
WHAT??? This is crazy talk. Over 95% including 32 million currently uninsured will have coverage. I thought this plan was coverage for everyone? So all this ballyhoo and still not everyone is covered?
3. Just like members of Congress, individuals and small businesses who can't afford to purchase insurance on their own will be able to pool together and choose from a variety of competing plans with lower premiums. And those who still can't afford it still get fined up to $1,000 for not carrying it.
5. Health care will be more affordable for families and small businesses thanks to new tax credits, subsidies, and other assistance—paid for largely by taxing insurance companies, drug companies, and the very wealthiest Americans.
SOCIALISM, TAX THE WEALTHY AND THE COMPANIES. How will this lower cost? Everyone knows companies pass cost increases on to the consumer in higher prices. More key wording to pay attention to is: paid for largely by, it doesn't say completely by, so where is the rest coming from?
Millard of Kentucky informed me with this news about China....
In China 35 million Chinese and 20 million migrant workers lost their jobs as thousands of factories closed with many more thousand slated to shut their doors because of the US economy. The US is not buying enough Chinese products.
...and about Kentucky.
34 thousand in Kentucky are on unemployment. The unemployment went broke so Kentucky had to borrow money from the Federal Government.
Joe U. told me somehow he was added on Facebook as a Friend of the city of Euclid. Joe writes...
Some how I became a friend of the city of Euclid. If Billy Boy (Mayor Cervenik) finds out he might kick me out or send those nasty inspectors over to my house. Joe U
Kristine in S. Ohio sends along this important tips.
Do your homework before you fly! Virgin Airlines just announced they will be charging fees for carryon luggage, rates will vary if you put it above your seat or in the belly of the plane and other airlines are going to do the same soon.
REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month. REMINDER.... All cell phone numbersare being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. .... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 888-382-1222 end_of_the_skype_highlighting. It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time.. It blocks your number for five years.

In the Cleveland Plain Dealer they had good news. The article title read house values rose in Cleveland. They sure did, a whopping .3%!!!! Take my one house in Euclid, in 2003 it was valued at $69,900, now its at $61,000 but with the .3% increase the new value is $61,183. I guess for the Cleveland area this is tremendous news.
My friends in Tracy City, Tennessee can be proud of their lil town, it made the national news. They elected a dead person for mayor. The towns people said it was much better than the opponent, Brock. Can you imagine losing to a dead person? Even though it does reminds me of John McCain. He's been dead awhile and he's still a senator.

Hello, tomorrow in Mentor behind the Civic Center is the National Lake County Tea Party at 3pm. Some will be dressed in period clothes of the 1700's. Call if you want to hook up for it. Should be a fun time. me
My democratic friend's reply, untouched as is:

Enough said, I don't need to go further. This is what we are up against, brainless and clueless with out the mind of Christ. How you reach these people is beyond me.

Help stop Washington's takeover of the Internet
We definitely need to stop our rogue government.
If they try to regulate the internet the access we have to the truth will be filtered. This is more government control over what we learn and what we want to watch. They will try to do it under the guise to rid the net of porn. Trust me, porn will survive but everything else will be scrutinized as to what they want us to know.
Who was against this from the beginning?
