Another Japanese woman died last year after being denied admission to 20 hospitals She was pregnant.

WHY HAS MUSHARREF REJECTED AN OUTSIDE PROBE !!

Musharraf has rejected an outside probe into the death of Bhutto. There is controversy over her death, and he says Pakistan is capable of handling their own investigations.

He doesn 't want the United Nations and the United States to interfere. But he is consulting with other countries about outsiders mounting an investigation.

GIANT 150 INCH PLASMA T. V.'S

This t.v. will impress all of your friends. It's 12.5 feet wide and 6.5 feet high. But it will not fit into everyone's home.

This monster t. v. set will cost 100,000.00 dollars. Panasonic will unveil this t. v. at The Consumer Electronic's Show in Las Vegas next month. People are opting for more definition than bigger t. v. 's.

SNOW MOBILES IN NATIONAL PARKS

The National Park Service has made a decision to allow snow mobiles continued access in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

Conservation groups are going to appeal a court review. The decision was to allow 540 sleds per day into the park. The conservation groups want to switchfrom snow mobiles to coaches to protect the natural resources. This decision is ignoring the park services stand on impacts of snow mobiles.

WILL THE SUPREME COURT SETTLE ISSUE OF GOVERNMENT I .D.' S IN ORDER TO VOTE ?

In Indiana 2 years ago, a bill was passed into law requiring voters to show a government issued I D.

Several other states have instituted similar voter laws. Democrats are saying the law discourages Black's and Latinos, some who don't have drivers licenses or government I D 'S . In the 50's and 60's there were low turnouts because of voter exams and poll taxes.

THIS JUDGE DOES NOT DO OVERTIME !!!

An inmate in Texas was executed because Presiding Judge Sharon Keller refused to stey over 20 minutes to allow a clerk from the Texas Court of Appeals to file a death penalty appeal. Other judges were angry because they were there and she didn't notify them.

TEENS WITH LIFE SENTENCES

There are 227 juveniles serving life without possibility of parole in California. They committed these crimes before they were 18 years old.

A study was done and the US beats every other country with juveniles serving life sentences. There are now 2,387 incarcerated. Israel is second , they are the only country besides the US that sentences juveniles to life terms. Black juveniles are 10 times more likely to receive life sentences in California. Blacks are 20 times more likely to get the sentence.

THE FRANCIS URQUHART MINISERIES A FAVORITE

The Francis Urquhart Miniseries are a favorite of mine. And each election year, I want to look at it. It was a BBC miniseries and a political action thriller. The leading role was played by Ian Richardson, and he did a surpurb job. He was dynamite.

He is like what you would think a politician would be . A former chief of staff at Conservative Party Headquarters, set at the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It would be a good thing to go rent this triology. There are three cd's:

HOUSE OF CARDS

THE FINAL CUT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Cards

CALIFORNIA LOTTERY IS SELLING MILLIONS OF TICKETS AFTER THE TOP PRIZES ARE WON

The odds of winning prizes are none because of the facts stated above. Since 1995, California has sold millions of scratch-off tickets after the top prizes are already won. State officials admitted the practice last summer, and said the state is exempt from false-advertising laws.

One purchaser in San Francisco, was not satisfied with the explanation and filed a law-suit and will go to trial next month. Attorney Kevin Roddy said No one has a clue" . Since this suit has been filed,California has placed a disclaimer on it's tickets. A gambling watchdog group in Sacramento, California named " " I stand up for California", thinks it's great.

BRITISH MAN MURDERED HIS WIFE AND PLACED HER UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE !!

A man who killed his wife rammed his car into a tree and police later found his wife dead under the christmas tree. The man later died in the hoapital.

IS WILL SMITH GONNA LET TOM CRUISE DRAG HIM DOWN ???

I think Will Smith put his foot in his mouth when he said "Even Hitler didn't wake up in the morning going," let me do the most evil thing I can do today". "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was good" !!!

The reporter said, "Remarkably Will believes everyone is basically good".

Will replyed by saying the reporter was a dangerous ignorant person with a pen, and said it was an awful and disgusting lie". Then Smith went on to say Hitler was a vile heinous vicious killer. I think Will should be careful what he says without a prepared statement from his handlers.

Since Tom Cruise has fallen from grace, he has attached himself to Will. And Will is the number one man in America right now. It would be a tragedy that someone will trap him up and catch him off guard about a subject that he knows very little about. I wonder if Spielberg will will have Will in one of his films in the future?

He should remember Jimmy the Greek, Imus, Richards, and Mel Gipson.

KIDS SHOCKED AT SPECIAL EDUCATION SCHOOL

The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center in Canton, Mass. , is using shock therapy on students. And the parents are o k with this because they can't control their kids. This is the last stop for these special education students when no other schools can deal with them.

The parents say that this is the only school that teaches their child how to behave, not just keeping them doped up. It costs over 200 thousand a year per student for care. There is an enrollment of more than 200 children.

The students wear backpacks with a device that will allow staff members to deliver shocks to electrodes attached to limbs,torso,feet and psalms. I thought this therapy was stopped years ago. The kids parents have o k'ed this, so I guess the kids have no rights.

NEW CRAZE AND NICE CHRISTMAS PRESENT !! YOUR KIDS WILL WANT ONE !!

Skyrunner ! That will be the next hot thing that kids will want. Even if they can't dunk a basketball, they will be able to with this gadget. It will keep them fit. The cost is$299US for adults and $249US for kids.

It started in Europe and now is in the UK and the US.

He was a former KGB official, was picked to be Prime Minister in 1999. The magazine said he was not a good guy, but had done extraordinary things. Putin, in February accused the US of trying to dominate the world.

THE GRINCHES WHO STOLE MY CHRISTMAS : J.C. PENNEYS AND ANNA'S LINENS

I am complaining about the stores that took away my joy of Christmas time. I ordered table linens and home decor from Anna's linens on November 19th. Two weeks later I called to track the order and they said they never received it.

I reordered it and was waiting for it, and I called on December 22nd to track the order, and they said the order was pending. I asked what that meant and she said on Saturday's the shipping department was closed, so she couldn't tell me.

She said maybe they were waiting for all my items to ship out my order. I had been waiting everyday for my package to be delivered. I cancelled my order. Also I ordered some cookware as a Christmas gift from J C Penney"s. They were out of stock. I called back a week later to see if they were now in stock,

I was told they were shipped out on the 4th of December. On the 18th of December I called to track the order and was told they were out of stock and I was given the wrong information. They did have an invoice, but they didn't know why.

I had people back east looking out for the arrival every day. Neither store told me that I would not have these gifts so I could get something else, like a gift card or something. I will never order anything from these stores again.

OBAMA GAVE BACK

Obama was the first Black editor of the Harvard Law Review. After college, he could have taken a position in a large law firm.

Instead, he chose to give back to the community. He worked in civil rights and as a community activist in Chicago.

GENEALOGY ARE THOSE DNA LABS ANY GOOD ?

What can I do if the direct family lines in my family have died out ? Y chromosome DNA testing is the most accurate means of determining ancestral lines. There are no more males with a direct line to test.

This chromosome is passed on from father to son generation to generation like a DNA fingerprint. It is accurate back 350 years or more. My grandfather had two daughters, no sons ,and he died in 1927. Don't wait too long as I did to get a cheek swab of your male family member .

SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL'S GRAND DAUGHTER DIES

Sir Winston Churchill's granddaughter died in the UK yesterday. Arabella Spencer-Churchill, 58, was the founder of the "Children's World Charity". She died at her home in Glastonbury after a bout of pancreatic cancer.

Her 34 year old son, Nicholas Jake Barton,was not able to be with her. He has been sentenced to at least 20 months in jail in Australia for his part in a 15 million dollar ecstasy supply operation.

Spencer- Churchill was also Governor of the Avalon Special School. She married James Barton in August 1972 and later renowned juggler Ian "Huggist". She was a buddhist. She was survived by a son and daughter.

TANCREDO DROPS OUT - WHAT NOW ???

Rep. Tom Tancredo, the 5th term congressman from Colorado has dropped out of the presidential race. Who will take up his cause ? Mitt Romney has done some work on the immigration issue, so that is why Tancredo is throwing his support to him.

Tancredo had a hard line on immigration. He is known for sparking controversy.

INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OVER A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR CYBER CRIME RING

New Zealand police are working with the FBI in an international investigation over a multi-million dollar Cyber crime ring. An 18 year old New Zealander was supposedly involved. He was questioned by the police in November.

He was suspected of being "AKIII" ringleader of a "botnet" and has infected a million computers with a virus-that resulted in a 26 million-plus loss. The attack included the University of Pennsylvania.

SEMEN CAN CAUSE HIV RISK

There has been a study in Germany that supports this fact. A common protein in semen attaches onto cells and increases the risk of infection.

HIV has infected more than 60 million worldwide and led to 20 million deaths. A researcher, Frank Kirchhoff of the University of ULM and his team were looking for blockers, not enhancers.

ARE E-MAILS A THING OF THE PAST ???

Text messaging is the in thing now. A poll taken in South Korea revealed that two thirds of the young people never use e-mail.

South Korea is way ahead of even the Japanese in new technology. Many South Koreans use Cyworld, a version of Facebook. Young people say e-mail is for business or old folks.

ARE THE WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA BIG WIGS GETTING A PAYCHECK ???

That's what I would like to know. If the big wigs are sitting comfortably in their offices while the workers are out on the picket lines. I think the officers should forego getting a paycheck until the strike is settled.

They should show some kind of solidarity with the workers they represent. Why do they always try to strike near the holidays? The unions have deep pockets. If plan "A" doesn't work, they go to plan "B" .

I think the union members should have voted to go on strike after the holidays. It is such a strain for people who are at the bottom of the ladder.

SWEDISH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY FILES ACTION AGAINST U.S .GENERIC DRUG COMPANIES

Swedish Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca , plans to sue seven generic drug manufacturers

in the U.S. to defend it's patent of CRESTOR. The generic drugs are made by companies when the patent expires.

The action was filed in the Delaware U.S. District Court. Crestor is one of AstraZeneca's 5 top selling drugs. The company has seen profits sink to1.34 billion dollars. In the future they plan to cut 7,600 jobs.

IF YOUR CHILD IS A TEACHERS PET, RUN !!!

If your child is a teachers pet, run ! Miss Teen South Carolina made Time Magazine's Top Ten Awkward Moments List. She was #9 on the list.

"She said Americans don't know geography because they don't have maps." This was her explanation of why Americans can't locate the US on a world map.

I was sitting there with my mouth open, and on the edge of my seat. I did not believe what I was hearing. If your child is a favorite of the teachers, and is very adorable , respectful, honest and cute, get testing elsewhere.

You need to know if your child is being pushed from grade to grade. I would run straight to Kumon and Sylvan to get an honest opinion. I remember the athlete who enrolled in an elementary school to learn to read , after a successful career.

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A REPORT CARD OF THE CANDIDATES ?

I need a record of all the bills that these individuals have written and submitted for the last ten years. How many times they were not there for an important vote. How many times they were there and abstained from voting.

I want to know what they have done for the environment and for their constituients. I really want to see a track record and not promises of things they will do for America in the future

ARE ALL THE SERIAL KILLERS GOING TO FLOCK TO NEW JERSEY NOW?

Now that New Jersey is going to scrap the death penalty, are all the serious offenders going to move there. We will see. Some people say that the death penalty is no deterrant for them. They just don't care.

The number of executions and death sentences has dropped in the past few years. New Jersey has not executed anyone since 1963 and has 8 people on death row as of this time.

88% OF ALL DISEASES ARE CAUSE BY UNSAFE DRINKING WATER

Also inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. This was announced by the World Bank. Some of the diseases are malaria, diarrhea and hepatitis.

We spent so much money on bottled water to find out that the companies duped us. It was actually tap water. Now I am concerned about the pollution from the recycling of the plastic bottles.. We see them strewn everywhere.

It is a problem, and the environment suffers.

WHAT DOES AN ENDORSEMENT MEAN TO YOU?

Do you care? When some workers are in a union and they endorse a certain candidate, they forbid the employees to display the opposition's banners or bumper stickers. Most workers don't care who the endorsers are at this point of the game. Years ago they might have, but now there is so much distrust, it doesn't matter.

When I hear of the endorsements, I block them out. I have my own mind and will not let someone else control it. It seems like Leiberman is paying the Democrats back because they didn't support him last time around. McCain does seem like the only one who isn't using double talk like the other candidates are.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BREAK OUT THE MOVIE "PRIMARY COLORS" AGAIN !!!

Now is the time to bring out the movie "PRIMARY COLORS" again !!! With the surprising announcement that was put out by Clinton's camp, you will see that the tatics are the same. It seems that Obama is inching ahead, so now is the time to start playing dirty.

With the campaign worker stepping down, it seems he was made the patsy. Now some of the candidates are going to play dirty. But I think people are loyal to their candidates, and it doesn't matter how dirty they play, it doesn't mean they will get the vote.

Sometimes they have a lot of anger against the storyteller. So I think this will backfire against the Clinton campaign. People don't care about what you have done in the past, it's what are you doing now, and what will you do in the future. It doesn't matter how much dirt a person digs up on a candidate, because they already know who they are going to vote for.

And it doesn't necessarily mean they are going to vote for Obama and Clinton. I like Ron Paul and Joe Biden. It seems that Huckabee is putting his foot in his mouth lately, so I don't know if I would vote for him.

I hope that everyone will rent this movie or read the book "Primary Colors" and they will know what a typical election is like, with all the greed, corruption, and deceit and lies.

IKE TURNER , A ROCK AND ROLL LEGEND

Ike Turner 76, passed away at his home in San Marcos, California. He and ex-wife Tina were on top in the 50's and 60's.

My sister was a member of the Ikettes when they were an opening act for the 1969 Rolling Stones Tour in Europe. Ike had an ear for music. He was a great musician.

There were only three times that I have heard "The Sound". James Brown, Etta James, and Ike Turner. They had the greatest bands. They didn't even have to sing, their bands were so great.

ALBERTO GONZALES NAMED LAWYER OF THE YEAR

The magazine of the American Bar Association this week, has named Alberto Gonzales, Attorney of the year. In August of 2007 he resigned as Attorney General of the United States, because of controversies and allegations of perjury before congress.

There were many controversies under Gonzales's leadership:

Using the Patriot Act to uncover personal information about it's citizens.

Dismissal of seven US Attorneys

Right to Writ of Habeas Corpus in the US Constitution

NSA Domestic eavesdropping Program

Texas Youth Commission scandal that accused teachers, administrators and guards had sex with minor male inmates.

WHY DID THEY DIG ALAN KEYES BACK UP ?

Alan Keyes is the only guy that goes for everything that the right wants. He announced his bid for the presidency in September, but I guess the press didn't know of it. They have always dismissed him.

There is no shoo-in for either party. Alan Keyes has all the right answers and is a great debater. He is anti-abortion and anti-gay rights. Maybe the right thinks he is all they have left because the other candidates have baggage and Keyes seems squeaky clean.

WOULD YOU LIKE AN iPOD OR A SLIDE SHOW ON YOUR TOMBSTONE !!!

With modern technology, you can put your own eulogy on a chip and put it in an iPod on your tombstone. Others have put a slide show or music on it. You can also have poetry, videos and your last words on it.

There is a company named Vidstone LLC in Wisconsin in the United States that has invented this marvel. With myself into genealogy, I know tombstones break in half and the etchings disappear, but the computer chip seems like a good bet.

Most people think that the monuments last over a hundred years ,but they never visit the cemetery to see how it has aged or been vandalized.

HAS CHAVEZ GONE LOCO !!

Chavez has set clocks back 1/2 hour in Venezuela. This is an adjustment to the relationship with Greenwich Mean Time. This will put Venezuelans biologically in tune with the sun.

He has been making many changes: He ordered the horse on the national flag face left instead of right to reflect his socialist orientation. Chavez renamed the country the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela after the independence hero Simon Bolivar. He has also got together with 6 other Latin American Countries to form an international bank.

CLARENCE THOMAS'S BOOK "MY GRANDFATHER'S SON"

Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas is calling Anita Hill his "most traitorous adversary". I guess he thought she was his friend because, every department he went to work for, she came along and worked.

Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment that supposedly happened in 1983 when she worked for him. He was appointed and confirmed to the Supreme Court despite her testimony in the senate hearings . I am wondering if she would have turned against him if he had gotten her a job at the Supreme Court ?

I am not a fan of Clarence Thomas, but I believe he was not guilty.

VISA STOPS TRAVELERS CHECKS

Visa has stopped issuing travelers checks. Demand for travellers checks has fallen 50% over the last two years. People are using credit, debit, and prepaid cards. Visa will still sell them until the supplies run out.

American Express will continue to sell travellers checks. Travelers now use a cash passport" a prepaid card where you can withdraw cash from a foreign ATM.

UBS GETS A BIG INFUSION FROM SINGAPORE

10 Billion dollars has been invested in UBS from the government of Singapore. How can the Swiss Bank need help ? They have all the mystery and intrigue and secret numbered accounts. I thought they had the largest capital of any bank in the world.

Who would have known they were strapped for cash ? This latest trouble is blamed on the subprime mortgage business. Will Asia and middle eastern money buy out all of our banks ?

COULD TOM CRUISE BE RIGHT ?? PSYCH MEDS ARE NOT FOR ANYONE

Could Tom Cruise be right ? The latest mall shooting was by a teen who had a history of treatment with psychiratric drugs. They were for depression and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and according to press reports he was on prozac.

Tom has been spreading the word of the Church of Scientology that treatment of mind and brain altering drugs are wrong and the Church disapproves of it. These mall shooters seem bent on shooting as many people as they can, and seem to want to take out more than the last shooter.

MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON

Mr. Smith goes to Washington, Frank Capra's 1939 classic movie starring James Stewart. That's what we dream about. The guys we get back are not the ones we send up to the White House.

They are polished and slick and can only speak from a prepared speech. That's why people don't care about voting. They don't think there is a single person in Washington that cares about them.

Usually if a young and naive person goes to Washington it is not long before you will see a monster return. It's a struggle between good and evil. When we were kids, we loved the war movies, Frances the talking mule , Bob Hope and the Uso . We looked up to politicians and believed everything they said.

We were so patriotic and loved the meaning of America. In those times, if a politician said they were going to do something, they did it. We had buses with loudspeakers telling people to come out for a ride to vote. We would canvass the streets for our candidate.

EGG DONOR HAD FATAL BIRTH DEFECT AND IS INDIFFERENT TO IT

She donated eggs to several agencies. When she found out she didn't want to notify the agencies or parents about the Tay-Sachs disease. It is found in French Canadians and European Jewish peoples.

WHY DID IMUS HAVE TO HIRE TWO BLACK COMEDIANS!!!

I do not think he had to do this. If he comes back to T. V . , I might watch . I had no problems with Imus. He let Bernie do all the skits and the insults. Bernie and Sid had his blessings, I guess.

Imus did a lot of good things, he had them clean up Walter Reed and raised funds for his wife's charitable causes. Also he helped raise money for the Vets in Texas.

I guess his show was for the guys, like in a locker room. He discussed sports mainly. Raised money through his celebrity bouts. I think that the two comedians he has hired will be worse than the rappers and will always use the "N" word.

The politicians loved the show because it was free publicity and they could be seen. But if he thought they were lying, he would tell them so. He did not like for a person to beat around the bush and give half an answer.

I really liked Charles. He was a no-nonsense guy. He was not raunchy like to rest of the guys. I thought more people would come to the aid of Imus from his co.workers , but in the reports I had read, he treated them badly.

Just like Senator Craig, Imus had no one to vouch for his character. They all shied away. I think Bernard was the one to pay because he said it. Imus just went along with it. I know McCain wanted him back on before the primary so he could go on the show.

WHY DO EVANGELICALS THINK THEY CAN PUT A MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE ?

The evangelicals think they can put a man in the White House. I don't think they have as much pull as they think they have. They have tried it before, and it didn't work.

We don't want an "Elmer Gantry" type in the White House. I think that the Jehovah Witnesses could make a change in the polls,though. They don't vote for any party, because they say all governments are corrupt.

CHINA ACCUSES U S AND SAUDI ARABIA CREATED GLOBAL WARMING

China says the U S and Saudi Arabia and other wealthy nations created global warming with their lifestyle and consumption. They are the worst with poor policies for climate problems and letting greenhouse gases rise.

A top climate expert in China, Su Wei, said the job belongs to the wealthy. Asking developing nations for emission cuts are unfair.

MEAT PACKING PLANTS RECRUITING FROM PUERTO RICO

They are saying illegals are taking away jobs from Americans. That has been found not to be true. Many Americans cannot stomach the work.

Cargill Meat packing plant in Illinois ran ads in Puerto Rico. Company officials flew there to conduct interviews. Puerto Ricans are good candidates because they are U S citizens and have experience. A plant closed a year ago leaving many unemployed.

IS WHOOPI TRYING TO SAVE SHERRY ?

Is Whoopi trying to help or hurt Sherry ? It seems that Whoopi doesn't think Sherry is keeping up with world events . It seems like she doesn't know what the show is about. She is not preparing for the next day's show. It takes more than smiling and agreeing with everyone else. I think Whoopi is mentoring Sherri.

It looks like Whoopi is taking her questions from "What Every 5th Grader Should Know "! Maybe Whoopi's grandkids know the answers to these questions. I don't watch the show but , I see comments or highlights on late night cable.

PAT BUCHANAN IS HE THE MAN ?

Pat Buchanan is the man who should have been president. We as a country should have listened to him long ago. But it seems like he would not do the bidding of the big whigs in this country, so they blocked him. They said he was an isolationist.

He has a new book out now called "Day of Reckoning". The things that he has been talking about for years, has now come to pass. The political campaigns have gotten so silly since his days of being advisor to several presidents.



I think he is a great and wise man.

BYU EXPANDS THE IMMIGRANT PROJECT

10,000 new names will be added to this list. It specializes on info from documents from departure countries, instead of countries where they arrived. This will simplify the search and speed it up. Many times people do not know what town or city ancestors are from.

THE NATIONAL DEBT IS OUT OF HAND

The National Debt is growing at $1.4 billion a day. Thats $1 million a minute. Currently the National Debt is $9.13 trillion. The baby boomers are just now beginning to tap into their social security and their pensions.

Now they are talking about cutting the pensions and social security.How are we going to live ? What about our children and grandchildren? Something has to be done to curb spending. Or life as we know it now, will become a blurb.

We need to fight to save our livelyhoods, our style of living and the perks that we have gotten accustomed to. We are not ready to give them up.

DENNIS QUAID SUEING PHARMACEUTICAL FIRM OVER BLOOD THINNER DRUG

Dennis Quaid is sueing Baxter Healthcare Corporation in Deerfield, Illinois for product liability. The packaging on different doses are nearly indentical.He wanted recalls because three children died in Indiana from the same drug, but the company refused.



Baxter Healthcare called on medical facilities to educate their personnel on the drug. Cedars-Sinai is a very prestigous hospital in Los Angeles. In my area there were some deaths from the same drug.



I think some of the nurses also work 16 and 18 hour days.More attention needs to be paid to that fact also.

MILLS FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME ARE OVER

NEW JUMBO COMBO LOANS ARE NOW BEING OFFERED

Since the subprime loans have been a bust, now a large Mortgage and Loan Corporation has introduced a new tatic to keep from going under.

The company has announced that they will give you a refinance that can include a car. You can make all of your credit payments in one swift stroke of the pen.

What if you miss a car payment? Will all of your obligations become due? The government closed their eyes the first time around, will they follow suite this time? I just can't believe it. It is always in favor of the big corporations instead of the little guy.

By the time this scheme falls through, there will be another one in the works. Just as I tell people when they buy those games like x box. They are now working on the next biggest thing for Dec 2008.

The reason for being undeclared was I wanted to take my time and vote after I had researched each person. They said the reason for this was to make it an even playing field. It seems like some kind of blackmail to me.

They are going to force you to vote for a particular party. We have already had scandals in this area. People were complaining that after they registered to vote on the street, their affiliation was changed to the republican party, and they were democrats.

The signature gatherer changed the party after the person had signed. I was so upset that I threw the ballot in the trashcan. I did not vote at all . So I do not think third party candidates have a chance.

JUST NOTIFIED......CANNOT VOTE IN CALIFORNIA PRIMARY ELECTION 2008

I was just notified by the Registrar of Voters in California, that I cannot vote in the February 2008 Primary Election unless I declare Democratic or Republican ticket.

Since I am a undeclared voter, I am not with a qualified political party. There is an important election law that pertains to "unaffiliated" voters for the February 5, 2008 Consolidated Presidential Primary Election.

Although you did not select a qualified political party when you registered to vote, some of the political parties will allow you to vote for their candidates anyway.

The political parties that are allowing unaffiliated voters to request and vote their party's ballot at the February 5, 2008 Consolidated Presidential Primary Election are:

Democratic Party
American Independent Party

If we do not recieve a request from you by December 14, 2007, you will receive a non-partisian ballot.
