A note from a   former U. S. Marine and Vietnam veteran   living in Danbury, Connecticut. . I am a 67-year-old former Marine and a Vietnam veteran.     And I say:     "Forget about living to age 75 in the USA!" This morning at Danbury Hospital here in Connecticut, I was scheduled for a cardio-lite stress test.   This is a treadmill stress test where nuclear dye is injected into your bloodstream and you are put in a CAT scan or something similar in order to take a picture of your heart.   If all is good, the heart shows up red;     if there are blocked arteries anywhere,   the heart shows up pink.     I have had three of these tests in the past twelve years due to blocked arteries discovered in 2000.   They use the test to determine if I need a "roto rooter" or a bypass operation. So, I arrived for my previously schedule appointment at the hospital at 8 a.m. this morning and in the process of checking in, the lady in the front desk said that my appointment has been canceled.     She made a call, spoke with someone,   and then she handed me the phone.     It was a nurse in the Cardiology Department who said that my medical insurance carrier denied the procedure. I said,   "It is a routine part of my heart maintenance program as ordered by my PCP and with approval from my cardiologist who is the head of Danbury Cardiology Department, which is right where I am standing right now." She went, "Yes, but our request was denied." So I said, "I have Medicare, so what is my backup insurance doing denying anything." Then the bombshell. . .she said,   "It was the Medicare Board that denied the procedure." At that point, I turned to everyone behind me, and it was a long line, and I said to them "Well, you won 't have to wait too long today because my stress test procedure was just canceled by a Medicare Death Panel.   I am only 67 so can you imagine what is going to happen when we really get old?" The entire waiting room and everyone there from patients to staff just went dead silent. Then, I turned to the front desk staff and told them, "I guess I will have to write a letter to the editor of the Danbury News Times and call my senators and congressman and let them know the Death Panels have already convened". Then I walked out. By the time I got home the message machine was blinking.   My PCP had called and so did the hospital and guess what?   Medicare decided to approve my stress test procedure, and I should get back down to the hospital,   and they would fit me in right away for the 3-hour procedure. I called back and told them that I couldn 't make it,   I was going fishing because I didn 't know how many more fishing trips I could get in before I went into cardiac arrest, but not to worry about me costing the government any money because I am a 30% disabled Army veteran due to Agent Orange poisoning which is what caused this heart problem to begin with, and I qualify to be buried for free in a plain pine box in the cheap graves section at any national cemetery.     I certainly don 't want to cost our government any money.   So, maybe we just won 't do the procedure anymore and we can use the money to redistribute it to all of the illegals to keep them alive so they can mow the lawns at the national cemeteries. And so this note is for everyone to know that the Death Panel crap has already started.     And if we don 't vote this guy and his criminal cronies out of office this November,   then we should all expect to die younger and as completely broke paupers as the country goes   further   down to hell. Feel free to distribute my note to anyone and make it your mission to not only make your vote count in November 2012 but on behalf of all of us,   please also make an effort to help convince everyone   to NOT vote for   the present White House occupant or any of his cronies in the November 2012 election if they want to receive proper medical care and expect to live to age 75 or older! Another forwarded email message from another Marine: Dr. Suzanne Allen, the head of Emergency Services at the Johnson City Medical Center in Johnson City, Tennessee,   was recently asked if she has seen any effects of ObamaCare in her work. Her reply was:     "Oh, yes.   We are already seeing cutbacks on the services we provide.   For example, we are now having to deal with patients who would normally receive dialysis, who no longer can.   In the past, there was always automatic approval under Medicare for anyone who needed dialysis -- not anymore." When asked what the outcome will be.   "The patient will die sooner without dialysis," she replied. What about other services?She said that as of 2013 (after the election),no one over 75 will be given major medical procedures unless approved by the government-appointed local Ethics Panel.   These Panels will determine whether a patient should receive medical treatment or not.   Dr. Allen points out that most life-threatening emergencies do not occur during normal hospital business hours, and if there are emergencies that need to be resolved within minutes or few hours, the likelihood of getting these Panels ' approval in time to save a patient life is going to be very challenging and difficult, if not impossible.     This applies to operations such as   stent placement, bypass surgery, kidney operation, or treating an aneurysm which are normally covered under Medicare today.     In other words, starting in 2013, if you needed a life-saving operation, it is likely that Medicare might not provide coverage anymore, or if it does, it will require approval by a government appointed Ethics Panel if you are age 75 or over.When in 2013?   "We haven 't been given a specific date, it could be in January or July,   but it 's after the 2012 election,"   says Dr. Allen. This is shocking to anyone who will be 75.   Her advice?   "Get healthy and stay healthy.   We do not know the specifics of the actual implementation of the full ObamaCare policies and procedures;   they haven 't filtered down to the local level yet.   But we are already seeing severe cuts in what we provide to the elderly.     We have refused dialysis to an individual who was 78 just the other day.   We have also refused to give stents to a gentleman who was in his late 80s.     Every day, we are seeing these cutbacks aimed at reducing care across the board for anyone who is over 75." This is a death sentence to those who are over 75....perhaps you should pass this on to your friends who are thinking of voting for Obama this year.   Regardless if you have private health care coverage now (I have Aetna Medicare Part B), it will no longer apply after 2013 if the Ethics Panels disapprove of a procedure that may save your life.     Scary!   Think about how this applies to you,   your parents,   and your other loved ones! If you didn 't know about it,   as Nancy Pelosi said, "Well, if you want to know what 's in the bill, you 'll have to read it...." (after it was already passed). This is an important reminder to stay healthy, and to get your plot at the nearest Forest Lawn Memorial Park now, while they are still available because the ObamaCare Plan is a death sentence to those who are age 75 or older!Semper Fi Mofak Back-to-Back We Face the Future

The Redundancies of The President

You'll probably NEVER see this on American TV or on late night talk shows like Letterman or Leno

This man (B.O.) cannot function without a script and/or teleprompter! And he really needs some new speech writers.

This is what is on European TV. Click below to watch.

This comes from Danish TV...how embarrassing for the USA.

:Romney - From Couple Who Bought His Park City Home

 

 

Hal and Corinne Prewitt distributed this email on their own  (scroll down), and it checks out.
 
FYI, Google lists many sources of info on this couple,  including an article in Park City Magazine , Winter 2012, that  describes how they eventually remodeled the home.
Sounds like Hal is pretty much a Renaissance guy and Corinne  graduated from Wharton and served as Asst. County Mgr. for Miami-Dade  County($7 billion govt.).

As, you may know we  own Mitt Romney's former Park City, Utah home. Corinne and I have written a  non-political-issue story that you very likely have not heard. We did this because many Democratic,  Republican and Independent voters strongly recommended and found it valuable.  Private details, how he acted out of public view and when not running for  office. We are messengers delivering facts not initially his supporters nor anti-Obama. Mitt  Romney is very different from the man that many Americans have been led to  believe. 

Regardless of who any of us are supporting in the  presidential election, we all are better served by knowing the truth as this  does influence who we support. It was not approved by Mitt Romney or his  campaign. A download PDF is  available www.prewitt.net/MittRomneyInsite2012-08-16.pdfyou are welcome to email the PDF, page  link,or forward this email to your friends. Sorry, if  you received this more than once. Like to hear your  thoughts...

Ours is a factual  story that provides a rare glimpse and insight into the real Mitt Romney. Does  he really relate to the average American? As President, would he impose his  beliefs on others? Is he really Christian?

When you buy a home and its contents from someone  you really learn a lot about their true character, values and beliefs. And  rarely does anyone have the opportunity to learn how a politician acts out of  the public's view and when they are not running for office. Well, this  actually happened. When? Only a few years ago, in spring of 2009 when we  bought Mitt Romney's Park City, Utah, home. His family lived in this home for about ten years. Because our deal  included most of the contents, we gained a unique and unusual perspective of  him and his family of which most Americans are completely unaware. What we  experienced was not what we expected--not the stereotypical actions of a millionaire and  more importantly not the image most Americans have of Mitt Romney.

When most of us buy a home, the real estate agent or seller hands over the keys at closing and then as buyers, we are on our own. Not this time. We met Mitt Romney by himself at the house. He spent as much time as we needed showing us around, answering our questions and explaining how to use and service the home's equipment. And when he was done, he gave us his direct contact information should we have problems.

To move, if we can afford the cost, most of us  would hire movers with a team of workers. To save money, many of us are the  do-it-our-selves types. Which did Mitt Romney do? Like many of us, on his own  he rented a six-wheel truck and moved himself. He drove to the local Home  Depot and purchased wood to build whatever he needed for the transport. Mitt  moved his family's clothes, his family's photos, his family's mementos, his  grandchildren's toys. With the help of a friend and family, they loaded the  truck. Then, after answering all our questions, Mitt  Romney said his goodbyes, climbed into the truck, and began the long drive to his new home by  himself.

The Romney Park City home, which they designed and built, and its contents had much to say. Having raised a family of our own, we saw that the home was built with a focus on his family. No swimming pool, tennis court or movie theater. There are no maid, butler, or nanny quarters. Clearly Ann and Mitt raised their kids. No gold faucets, no  fancy silverware. The kitchen was simple and typical of an average  three-bedroom home, very much like those in which we  were raised. We were struck by the discovery that most of the art,  furniture, and all the curtains were made in America and  many by local craftsmen. Most of the linens were of good quality but not what  is found at very high end, exclusive stores. The master bedroom pillows had  tags from the average American’s most popular discount store.

In the most honored place in the master bedroom  hung a painting of Jesus Christ. Most Americans know little about Mormonism  and we didn't either. Mitt Romney clearly had a home of faith and family just  like the rest of us.

One of the most interesting questions many have  asked is, "As president will he impose his beliefs on others?" Many claim that  a President Romney would take away rights and impose his beliefs on all  Americans. The Romney home contents gave us insight into this question. One of  the strongest Mormon beliefs is the prohibition against drinking alcohol. We  were surprised to find a small supply which we were told was available for  guests, not for the family. Mitt Romney had a respect for his guest's wishes.  By not imposing his beliefs on others even within his own home, then clearly a  President Romney would not take away rights and impose his beliefs on all  Americans. Those making such accusations should stop. The facts do not support  their claims.

It is amazing what can be learned about someone  from observing the smallest details. In the Romney's family mud room where the  boots and outdoor clothing were stored, we found the Governor's ski gloves.  One of his son's apologized for his dad's lack of concern about his appearance  when Mitt went skiing because the gloves would surely be noticed. They were  worn out and had holes in the fingers. Mitt had gone to the garage tool box  and wrapped them with duct tape. Thrifty? Yes, and the repair provided an  immediate practical solution rather than traveling to the store to buy a new  pair. His indifference to appearance demonstrated his confidence, true  character and priorities. Good qualities but easily misunderstood because they  are quite different from those displayed by many famous people and certainly  politicians, who highly protect and prize their appearance.

As you have read, our story is not about a  wealthy man's nice home or its beautiful contents. It is about the story they  tell and how our experiences with him showed the real Mitt Romney. How his  family truly lived is a real indication of their values and beliefs. There is  more we could tell, but hope we have provided enough facts to answer some key  questions on many voters' minds. Mitt Romney is very different from the man  that many of us have been led to believe. Clearly he is more like most  Americans than not. We learned many things about Mitt Romney that contradicted  what we have been told. He is not aloof or out of touch. He is a man of faith,  family and American values. A guy who is well-grounded. It is not beneath him  to roll up his shirt-sleeves and get the job done. The fact that he has  allowed this to be kept so very private is a true testament to his character  and shows how different he is from many other politicians.

Who are we and why are we speaking out? Growing  up in Florida and Pennsylvania, we knew little to nothing of Utah, Mitt  Romney, his family or values, beliefs, religion and his capabilities. We were  amazed by what we learned. We want nothing more than for our fellow citizens  to know what we know. We are not part of any campaign, not Mormon nor  religious activists. We have voted for Democrats and Republicans and were not  Governor Romney supporters. Hal is a farmer, race car driver and retired after  creating a number of successful businesses. Corinne is a retired government  employee. We do not come from wealthy families. Our parents worked average  jobs. Our fathers were a mailman and an engineer. Our mothers were a nurse and  a housewife. We struggled, worked hard and are grateful for having been  rewarded over the years. We have never given up on achieving the American  dream. But the story we tell is not about us.

As Americans, we depend on our press to provide  us with factual and unbiased information. We hear politicians sometimes  misspeak and others take their statements out of context. Many times it is  hard to tell what is fact and what is fiction. Over the past few months, we  have noticed how different from reality some of the public perceptions and  media presentations of Governor Romney are. Unfortunately, some political  opponents spread false information and misconceptions. This is  wrong.

This injustice and the value of our story has led us to speak up and provide these facts. No one can say with absolute certainty what kinds of decisions a president will make while still a candidate for that office. To predict, we only have access to their words, history and if available the most useful facts of all, how they acted out of public view and when they are not running for office. This is why our story is so important, valuable and must be told.

No doubt some will want to dismiss our story, argue that it is not newsworthy nor relevant and possibly subject us to an undesired spot light. However, we hope the American people are given the opportunity to hear the truth, especially when the facts directly contradict what many people think to be true.

A Must read Interesting & informative! The newsletter from, "The Texas Gardener Seeds" said: Put up a bat house to encourage the presence of these shy animals.  Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly, and bats are less likely to be rabid than dogs are. Need another reason? Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the seed dispersalessential to the regeneration of forests. Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures. Here are three from the Bat Family. Sucker-footed Bat Red-Winged Fruit Bat Left-WingedSocialist Ding Bat  So, 2 out of 3 Bats have a useful purpose! If only we could just train him to eat mosquitoes, or do anything useful for that matter!

Someone With a Brain Speaks too logical to register with most voters      Paradoxical Quote of The Day From Ben Stein:   "Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."   Now add this, "Many of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens. Think about it when you vote in November !

Hopefully.......
