Evening,

In January of 2008, I was discussing with local (Scottdale Pa.15683) business owners about Disabled Veterans and their needs in the Fayette-Westmoreland Area. The Business owns volunteered their business to be used for help with some of those Veterans needs, they also arranged for a benefactor to cover the costs and overhead of the program.

The program is set up to address physical therapy & low impact water exercise. As you know water therapy is easy on the body, helps promote health and is alterative for pain medication or surgery. The program will run at least 4 days a month (closed to the public) and will be supervised by trained instructors. We now stand that we have a need for transportation, seeing as so many of the disabled Vets can not get around on their own, Vans and or a Bus is needed. We have called upon local Government officials and local transportation companies but none can help us due to the fact(s) t they can not or do not cover this AREA.

We would like to have the program open for the summer months of 2008, so the Disabled Veterans can benefit for this program. I hope you can pass these message around to your church’s , business, friends , family and local governing offices to see if anyone else can help with this gift to those that gave so much. The more people that know the more Veterans We can help.

We would also like to extend our hand to you in helping with this program. We need as much help as we can get spreading the news to our Veterans and their families.

Sincerely

Founder

The state should decide on a dedicated source of income for schools and eliminate local property taxes. Money raised by the state should be devided according to the number of children within a school district. The state should hand the money to the County Government to disperse to the various school districs within it's boundaries. The county should own the school buildings and grounds.

RE: Applebees in Mt. Pleasant
I agree 100%!!!!

I ate there last month and thought it was great. I spent a little more money than I had planned but the portions were good and it was worth it. Very nice restaurant for Mt. Pleasant.

Republican Party Description
True conservative Republicans believe less government and more individual freedom is the best solution for the human condition.
Through this they support:
- Less government spending, less government programs, more privatization.
- They trust individuals to decide what best to spend their money on, and don't trust government to properly utilize resources.
- Government spending should be limited only to what is outlined by the constitution of the United States.
- Taxing the flow of capital is detrimental to society -- it should flow freely and quickly through as little taxation as possible.
Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I just hope you all have been voting for the right party all of these years.

--Doesn't like or trust the two major political parties

--Understand the correlation between elephants and Republicans and jackasses and Democrats
--Does not throw fecal material "across the aisle", but tosses it up onto the ceiling, calls a Democrat and a Repulician over and tells them to look up.
--Is disgusted even further by TRR--Tape Recorder Republicans, these are parrots who look like people, smell like poo poo due to the brown residue on their noses, wear Ann Coulter boxers, and Newt Gingrich spiked hi-heels, and when nature calls, take a wide stance while repeatedly dropping and picking up sheets of toilet paper. High-density TRRs consistently lack the ability to think an intelligent thought, but contain an incredible capacity to lick boots, kiss hiney, and admire moronic mental midgets. When agitated they explode into turrets syndrome gutterances that sound like Lib-er-al, Lib-er-al,

RE: School system
Southmoreland School District is a nice district. Right now, there is a school for Kindergarten and 1st grade students. Southmoreland Elementary School has 2 through 6, The Jr. High has grades 7 and 8, the high school has grades 9 to 12. However, there is a middle school that is just now being built. Class sizes are anywhere from 22 to 27 students to a room. Where fdo you live now? What are the reasons for you to not knowing where to have your kids go to school? As far as I know, if you live in one school district, but send your children to another school district (unless it is a catholic/christian school) it is not a good idea, could have a lot of trouble.

My children go to Bullskin, I am very comfortable with them going there. I never knew anything about Southmoreland that is why I asked.

School system
We are thinking about moving to Scottdale with our family and I realized that I don't know anything about the school system there. What grades are your schools? Do you have elementary, junior high and high school or do you have a middle school? I have heard that class sizes are small, how small are they- I am just trying to find out if it is better for me to drive my kids to school or put them in Southmoreland- any help would be great-thanks.

RE: Republican Party Description
I am so confused by your descriptions.... is it not that Bush is Republican??? -His presidency has placed the USA in the financial drain. He has created more government than needed -If they trusted individuals to decide what to spend money on we wouldn't be paying for swimming pools and hot tubs in iraq -Government spending is at an all time high -lets not forget that he is being blamed for many things including 9-11 which if any one researched they can see why he is being blamed ....And for the record I have been voting for the right party all these years...good ol Bill Clinton may have been getting nookie in the oval office but at least while he was president there was no problem with planes being "used as bombs", government didn't kill thousands to hide little nasty secrets ot to solve their families vendedas,folks could afford their health care and perscriptions and those who wanted to work found jobs and when they worked those jobs they kept more of their money and lived better....you missed one very important thing about the Republican party -they don't find the "middle class" to be revelent and feel it must be done away with making only two classes, the rich (them) and the poor (the working people) If this country was dumb enough to allow yet another Bush serve 2 terms, then let it be smart enough to bring back a Clinton, or start fresh with Edwards!!!!!

By describing why you have voted Democrat your entire life, you described everything that has been going on in government forever. Yes, 9-11 was planned on Clinton's watch or do you truly believe that bin Laden waited until the day Bush was sworn in to start planning it? He was planning it since the last time he tried to blow up the World Trade Center while Clinton was president. Did he go after bin Laden? No. The US government has been assasinating heads of states and killing enemies without you knowing about it, since we became a nation over 250 years ago. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it's not happening. Read about Delta Force or the CIA, do some research. The only people who could afford their health care and prescriptions are the same people who can do it now. As a matter of fact, the unemployment rate is at an all time low. The Fayette County unemployment rate is lower under Bush than it ever was under Clinton and the average household income is larger now than when Clinton was president. People are paying less in taxes than when Clinton was president, because Bush cut our taxes while Clinton raised them. We don't need another Clinton or another Bush. There are other people out there better than those 2 families. Huckabee is the best choice. You whine about 2 classes rich and the poor. What did Clinton do for the middle class or poor? He did nothing but make promises. Hellary and Edwardo are both millionaires that have no idea what it's like to be poor or middle class. They make empty promises just like all the other democrats who only want to hold us down, so they can promise to pick us up. Well, they have been promising to do it for 200 years and many many many people have died waiting for the democrats to help them. It's time to see the light, ignore party labels and vote for the MAN that is best for the job. And even though Hellary walks like a man, talks like a man, and looks like a man, she is not the best man for the job. A vote for Hellary is a vote to run the US into the ground and allow the UN to take over. I guarantee it, because the Clinton's believe in the One World Order and Hellary will sell us out as quick as Bill sold all of our secrets to China.

With the three out at a time plan, I average 6 movies a week. Additionally, you can watch many movies / shows online for up to 17 hours (plan based).
I got rid of HBO and Showtime and now only have Netflix in addition to basic cable. You send the dvd back today and they ship the next movie tomorrow in most cases. You'll love it, and I think they have afree two week subscription.

Download movies and don't worry about going to the movie store or waiting for the mail. People go to the movie theater and record the movie on DVD with a camera, go home and upload it. I just put The Game Plan with the Rock on DVD and watched it last night. It was just released at the theater on Friday. I love the internet. I saw The Kingdom and We own the night already, but those were DVD Screeners which were perfect. Screeners are the DVDs that they give movie reviewers. You got to love high speed internet.

Yes, I use it and I love it! Much better than going to the video store. Very fast delivery time- very efficient.
