This was the first time I have visited this website and surprisingly, I liked the website. I read an article from the alternet.org website based on marriage. Now everyone has their own views on how things are suppose to go in a marriage, some have been brought up by routine, some have saw that six or seven significant others is just fine. Below is what I found out.
This article starts out asking if you believe your marriage is a sacred thing. In all do respect, YES obviously it is. But, that is between you and your other. Although, I DO NOT agree that you should be able to marry just anyone. Either man to woman or vise versa. I dont believe that you could marry your grandma or grandchildren or that woman should marry woman. I believe and know that we were put on this earth to marry man to woman. This article is totally silly for putting an article like this on here but they are saying that it should be ok to do the 'wrongs' in states that agree to have set the law.
It just goes on about how in certain states marriage to the same sex is approiate to where in other states they are totally against same sex marriage.
No, there are no rational laws like a white cant marry a black or anything like that but same sex marriage I see is totally different. That is dealing with COLOR. We are dealing with the privacy area!
They say that if you want to pass the law in several states to leave same sex marriage out of the story you can stand in a long line at a city hall and protest. You can find me there!

Budget Cleared In Cali!
The article I chose to read is about clearing a buget plan that has been up in the air for quite some time. After 5 days of nonstop negonations of how to overcome a $42 billion gap in California, Thursday morning senators in the state of California agreed to pull something together. To overcome this $42 billion gap they have chosen to up taxes. Does this make sense?? Is this what we need in the economy RIGHT now? Who knows what we need. We have all of these people that 'think' they know what is best for our country and raising taxes is one of them?
Govener Arnold Schwarzenegger has also had something to do with this budget plan in California. He had agreed several weeks ago to plan a meeting to discuss this situation with the others but didnt get the full 2/3 votes that were needed so that did not go as planed. 2/3 votes is required by the California state law in order to pass a statement. This indeed left the Deomocrats in a tough situation and begging for a Republican to step up, which they are against the taxes being raised.
Mr. Maldonado, the State Senator, a Republican of California somehow has seemed to have won the decreasing in 12 cents in gasoline and amendment that would make California political primaries open and nonpartisan, a bill that many Democrats resisted to the bitter end.
These new statements(taxes) are set to last for at least two years, BUT could be extended another two if voters continue to approve.

health care for Women
"Health Care for Women Resolution Reintroduced in House and Senate" is an article fround in "Feminst Daily News". This article is fairly short that does not have a lot of information for an interested one to read. The title caught my eye, "HEALTH". Health care is so important to women and men now a days that whenever you see 'resolution' in the same sentence as 'health' you want to read the article.In this article it was just stating that health care had been re-introduced to the chambers of Congress yesterday by co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues Representative Jan Schakowsky and Senator Debbie Stabenow. If this is passed then that means "that the resolution would help to ensure the needs of women would be met in national healthcare reform," states the article.The article says that with this law being passed, "Congress has to pass a national healthcare reform bill within 18 months that directly addresses the healthcare needs of women." Which would not be hard to do at all because there are women all over the world that are starving for healthcare needs.The article stands up against women not being ablet to afford health care by saying that women who are divorced, or are a single parent, working full or part time, or caring for an elderly parent truely rely on healthcare being provided.I think this law should be and will be passed because it has become such a big deal within the past few years. But I want to ask myself and to you as a reader, Why just women? Why wouldnt it be availble for males as well? Is this judgemental? You tell me.

Stimulus OR Not??
The New York Times has a very interesting article about stimulus checks being handed out all over the U.S. The house in Washington is deciding on how much money they should 'give' to everyone depending on their situation. There have been many decisions already made, but still yet have many more to come. The senate has most of this on his shoulders. The senate has cut $40 billion of that aid from its bill which is expected to be approved on Tuesday. A situation has arose between democrats and republicans. From the article I received information on the democrats strongly for this bill, and republicans straying away from the stimulus plan. Although most republicans are against the stimulus plan, the senate has stated that they don't have enough votes to count and the voting will take place on Saturday.
This stimulus plan is suppose to be helping families in the low, middle and upper classes become familar with their money situtations. Though alot of people are in debt and have declared bankruptcy's, this stimulus plan from President Obama, is suppose to HELP the ones get out of debt and to help pay off personal belongings to help them live a much happier life and to become debt free.
In my opinion, money is always a good thing. But when you have to pay taxes on it--you are going to look at the situation in a whole nother perspective. But for me, I feel that if Obama is willing, at least I should try. I dont have any debt but I will use this money wisely and help my family have what they need.
