Look at the larger picture here:
If the Upper Management decide to opt out for the cash vs.
coverage, and buy their own plan.
The rates on the Lower employees will increase to where they can no longer afford them.

Perhaps that is the plan!

I personally think that it should be even across the board.
Why punish the one who has moved up in ranks with the company. Did they not pay for their education, and experience to climb to their current Job Level.

Why is it if your successful, then you have to punished for that success?

No Matter How Much I Despise the Democratic Party and John Kerry, I have to give them a pat on the back for Doing the Right Thing for America and bowing down and conceding the election.This could have been drawn out over the course of the next few months and turned into a real election fiasco setting the precedence off all future elections. (Like Gore).
So I bid a sincere Thank You to the Democrats and the John Kerry Camp!

And now that that's over with,

THANK GOD BUSH WON! Many Prayers have been answered!

OBL is running out of time & he knows it. This is nothing but a desperate plea in the hopes that Kerry will win, therefore weakening America, at the same time making him appear victorious against the Evil Americans (sic). I hope that America can see thru his BS, and Vote Bush for 4 more years. He needs to be taken out by "Whatever Means Necessary." As a matter of fact, I'd love to be the one to put the bullet right in the middle of his "fricken" forehead, and rid the world of this piece of camel !@#$.

Actually in Georgia,

You either have to Show Id or a Utility Bill in your name.
If not then you have to swear under oath to your identity.
( False Identity is a Felony in Georgia and WILL be Prosecuted!). If your name is not on the Official Registry then it goes as a Provisional Ballot. "If the Provisional Ballot cannot be verified on a roll as being legit. then the vote does not count." ( This is were the DemonRats will try to push disinfranchisement)

I just returned from my orientation to be a Poll Watcher in the Great State of Georgia. Pre-Polls look good for Bush/Cheney in Georgia- A majority Republican State, however, Our election offices are seeking persons interested in going to Florida to assist there. Transportation and Lodging provided. If you live in Atlanta area and are interested in assisting in Florida email me @

Contact these !@#$%! and Let them know how TRUE Americans Feel!

CAST for Kerry- A New 527 ( Funded by Soros)

C-ommunist
A-thiest
S-ocialist
T-errorists

MmmmmmMmmmmmmm!
Don't they call the Hollywierd actors on a movie set
A CAST? Coincidnece?

O'Reilly seemed to bow down to Holbrooke.

Also Opined that he don't care who gets elected in Iraq, he just wants them to get out of there so no more Americans lose their life. We need to do what it takes to win, not tuck tail and run.

He also had to repeat that he was going to give equal time to be Fair & Balanced, but seemed to let Holbrooke speak uninterrupted. He even let him quote the New York Times and the Washington Post as reliable sources?

What gives with O' Reilly, is he starting to drift to the MSM, perhaps he's shooting for Dan Rather's Job.

Or maybe he's scared of the outcome of the lawsuit and wants support from all sides.

He definitely has swung towards the Liberal edge in the last several months. Its ashame, he just lost another viewer!

I have on on my car, It looks like a Kerry Sticker, below it reads
"Supported by C-OMMUNISTS
A-THEISTS
S-OCIALISTS
T-ERRORISTS
CAST YOUR VOTE for KERRy

Statement regarding derogatory portrayal of Special Olympics athletes in political flier
13 October 2004

From the office of Timothy P. Shriver
Chairman and CEO, Special Olympics

We at Special Olympics are astounded and appalled by a political flier being distributed in Tennessee, showing the head of President Bush superimposed on the body of a Special Olympics athlete, with the statement, "Even if you win, you're still retarded."

We see this communication as an egregious, gratuitous insult to our almost 1.4 million athletes in over 150 countries around the world and a stunning affront to the 170 million people in the world who have intellectual disabilities.

We cringe at the thought that any one of these capable and courageous athletes would ever have to endure the agony, embarrassment, pain and suffering that this flier would certainly cause.

We hope that the person or persons responsible for this outrageous political advertisement would come forward, identify themselves, and explain to the people of Tennessee and everywhere else why they would choose to denigrate the spirit, courage, and accomplishments of the Special Olympics athletes.

Sadly, this type of ignorance and bigotry is not uncommon. Comedians in the United States regularly mock people with intellectual disabilities; a common playground taunt even today is “retard”; people with intellectual disabilities remain the last to be respected or included in our schools, health care institutions, and society at large.

Our commitment in this political season and in every other is to reverse this ignorance and bigotry and to replace them with the stunning realization that many people with intellectual disabilities are, in fact, among the most gifted within our communities. Their valuable skills for promoting acceptance and understanding are most desperately needed in the political process and in the world today.

There is no reasonable and legitimate defense of this hateful material. We would expect those responsible to make an abject public apology and a sincere, determined effort to clear the public domain of this offensive material.

Earlier today I sent a copy of this horrible flyer and a copy of the story to the World Offices of Special Olympics. Here are some of their replies:

STATEMENT IN REGARDS TO DEROGATORY PORTRAYAL OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS ATHLETES IN POLITICAL FLYER

We see this communication as an egregious, gratuitous insult to our almost 2 million athletes in over 150 countries around the world and a stunning affront to the more than 200 million people in the world who have intellectual disabilities.

We cringe at the thought that any one of these capable and courageous athletes would ever have to endure the agony, embarrassment, pain and suffering that this flyer would certainly cause.

Dave,
absolutely appalling. We have responded and expect an apology or explanation.

That has to be one of the most appaling "flyers' ever seen.

I have taken the liberty of sending a copy of the flyer along with a copy of the "Story" to all of the Boards of Directors of the Special Olympics Worldwide.

I wonder how they feel about these peple being so cold and inhumane?
