"I look forward to the looters’ reactions when these give-aways are taken away. The gubmint thinks those folks are gonna riot? It’s gonna be US-rioting to protect what’s left of OUR hard work from these cretins. "

Isn't that what this is all about?

I had one as a backup Phone years ago.

It was a bit of a hassle to do the initial setup, but after the first use it just took a couple of minutes to add air time to it.

Can't remember what company it was.

Free Cell Phones And Free Cell Phone Minutes To Welfare Recipients

For everyone who opposes this kind of handout. Please support Newt Gingrich. I am sending him a copy of my own personal plan for dealing with the overwhelming number of welfare recipients and other gubmint benefits deadbeats. I have recently come to the realization that I may never be elected President of these United States. Therefore I am sending a copy of my plan to Newt for his use. The plan is really very simple and it will solve both the welfare and illegal immigration problem at the same time. We simply sign a brand new trade agreement with Mexico and we put it into effect immediately it is so simple all that we have to do is send Mexico three welfare recipients for every young person who would like to come to America. All they must do is obey our laws, learn to speak english, and have no prior criminal record. We can tell the welfare recipients they are getting a free gubmint paid vacation. This program will have to be implemented and carried out very quickly because as soon as Mexico figures out what we have done to them they will want to break the treaty. The more you think about it the more it makes sense.

"...and that for me is the outrage, programs most of us don’t realize exist and chew up billions of our tax dollars, while we are screaming now about just one of them."

A few weeks ago, someone posted an article about the number of people that were on food stamps.

So...I thought I'd see how easy it is/was to get food stamps and logged onto the program to do so. Soon, it was obvious I wasn't anywhere near qualified (which I knew before hand), anyway, the qualifications were higher than I had expected.

Now the suprising part... a couple days later, I started get solicited (spammed) by the government that if I was eligible for food stamps that I was probably eligible for: (a list of other programs, click here)...no kidding!!

I had to cut out home internet and cable since last March, along with other luxuries because my wife got sick and hasnt worked since, but I have to have my phone for my job, Thats why I havent posted lately,

I pay 30 bucks a month for 1000 min, 1000 texts, and 30 mb of data through straight talk, Up until last week, that little phone was my home internet,

My vehicle aint new,,,but its mine,

The laptop Im posting on I put together from two broken ones people didnt want to fix, The period button aint workin, but its mine,

We had to cut back on our food spending, Ate alot of beans and deer meat, The doggies still ate good though,

I couldve gotten Food stamps, Couldve got a free phone too,but I made it work without asking no one for nothing, Its called having priorities,

Actually, during this past year, some of the cutting back forced my wife and I to get closer, Instead of going out to eat, we would pack a picnic and hike down to the creek, We learned how to make do with less so when things get better, we can save more money every month,

"On the positive side, people do need to make a phone call sometimes,"

Oh, what are other fine reasons you think I should have my money taken from me? Do you want to come and take it yourself or are you content to send your government thugs. I'd really like you to try to take it from me. I'd like that very much.

You called me sir,,,lol,

Im very proud of my wife who has not complained one bit, but Ive done nothing special, Like millions of my fellow Americans I get up and go to work everyday, do the best I can,

To me, what makes America great, what makes her worth giving my life for, what made it worth growing up without my grandpa, is the fact that everyday people show up on our shores from all over the world with nothing more than the clothes on their backs and the promise that they can achieve whatever they are willing to work for,

I found it...

"A well regulated voice, data, and texting plan, being necessary to the security of an informed and up to date populace, the right of the people to receive and bear free Cell Phones courtesy of the State, shall not be infringed."

So is free assembly.

Without cell phones, how can a flash mob be organized?

Heck, put on daytime TV around here and you’ll get tons of ads for this service. Free cellphone and plan, but only if you’re on Welfare.

Yes, once my Sprint contract was up several years ago I switched to Tracfone & have used it ever since. I may have had to call them for help, but I did manage to get set up & I am very tech unsavvy...had to have help buying/setting up this laptop, my printer, the new antennae when we had the switch to digital (don’t have cable) etc.

On the positive side, those that commit the most crimes now carry personal tracking devices that ping their location periodically. It’s a slight software change to record all conversations and take photos and videos, even when the phone is powered off.
