End the embargo NOW@!Cuba is suffering. They have been hit by yet another hurricane. The US embargo against Cuba is internationally condemned. The embargo does not work! Although many of these pictures remind me of the suffering of the Cubans it isn't the entire picture. The Cuban people also know how to enjoy life. I I could show a thousand more of happy faces.

Dear President-Elect Obama,Dear President-Elect Obama,
Finally! I feel a tremendous amount of pride and joy in my country. I'm 28 years old and I didn't think that I would every feel this way. Tears streamed down my face during your acceptance speech and I know that all across the globe people were experiencing the same feeling. I believe that you will lead us in a more safe and secure direction. I do not think that you can solve everything nor do I expect you to. Yet I trust in you to work on our behalf, the workers, the unemployed, the students those who are fighting for a place in this society. We are the ones who have elected you. I doubted democracy before today. I didn't think it was working. Please continue to bolster our faith in the ideals this country has to offer.
My concerns are vast but please take note of the following five of my top issues. First, I want the money to be removed from politics. That would mean giving equal access to the public airwaves to all candidates. Also, I would like relief in my student loan rates or opportunities to serve my country in a non violent way in exchange for real debt relief. I want more regulation of business. We have been shown what happens because of deregulation as our economy falls and our environment worsens. I want you to proceed as quickly as possible in withdrawing forces from Iraq. Finally, I want you to consider campaigning for the right for gays to marry. I do understand that it could be detrimental towards a second run for the White House but we should not be considered political pawns but real people who need real change.
Please stay safe. I'm looking forward to encouraging words from you and Michele when our nation needs it. We need it! You have a beautiful family and have an amazing opportunity to be the role model this country desperately is looking for.
Best wishes,
Libertad
I got this message on his website when I submitted it.
Wish he could personally read my message but I don't know if he will have the time to read so many letters. I never thought of writing Bush because I knew he didn't care about me.

We're receiving a large number of messages since the end of the campaign, and we ask for your patience as we try to respond to everyone.
Thank you again for your message.

That's a great little list of issues, all of them really, I can't even pick a favorite. Check out this site to stay active with equal rights marriage issues HRC :::link::: not sure if you herd about them.
I was thinking this morning, 2 things I love about this election. One is the message it sends to the World, that it's ok to like America again, because opportunity, democracy, and good will, still thrive here. The other is the message it sends to our young people. Dream big and go for it, you can make it if you try, there are no limits to what you can do in this country. Two things that make me get all weepy.

Nice letter. I do agree that Businesses should be regulated better, but there is something that must happen before they are. There must be some good law passed that stops them from leaving the country or moving jobs over there. I will admit that I love capitalism. But the problem is that often companies the goal is to make as much money as possible to have the highest profit. Yes profit is good but there is such a thing as business ethics. If the us regulates companies to much they will shut down and move to some country where they can pay people what they want and pump out as much poultion as they want so there is a very fine line there.

Female, 21 y/o and I Love to wash dishes. I love to scrub floors, I love to vacuum. I'm pretty sure there isn't too much I don't like to do as long as it has nothing to do with pets, bathrooms and cleaning your room. That's your space.. you can do that yourself.
Here's what I "envision":
Me, standing and leaning over your sink scrubbing a filthy dish, trying my darndest to not get my shirt wet while you are there taunting me... teasing me, trying to get me to get my shirt wet. Mind you, I was ordered to not get wet or else I'd be punished. A certain amount of time to get the dishes done before I'm to start out on my next task. Also, a Dominant figure would be with me, making sure I get my tasks done, both of you can relish on the fact that I would be trying so hard to please you both, yet failing at the timing factor since I am a perfectionist. He would show you how to handle me, since I am not easy to be handled. He'd come up behind me, hold his switchblade near me, making goosebumps form on my skin, me scrubbing faster and then.. **RIP** he tears off my shirt. Leaving me there, starting to turn red all over from the embarassment, pulling my hair, growling into my ear to hurry, my tasks are piling up and my punishment is getting greater. A spanking on my rump and a pinch on the small of my back before he walks away.
And what, would this cost, you ask?
Well, I'd say per hour, but that hardly seems fair.
I'd say a quote would be sent out to you, after showing me what kind of mess I'd be dealing with. That seems fair.
As far as travelling expenses, that would be included in the cost.
Tonawanda, Kenmore, Buffalo (certain areas), N. Buffalo, Cheektowaga (certain areas), Williamsville. Mainly these cities/towns. Anything bordering, may be taken into consideration.

Just reading it makes me get excited. I don't think that is a real cleaning service, or it is but it is an erotic one. I don't mean that she will have sex with you. But I have heard of places where the women will clean topless or in the nude. I'm guessing that the line about not cleaning the bedroom is a way to say that it is only to watch the two of them and that there is no sex. I assume that it is legit also but maybe not it is tough to know. I think that one of the reasons there isn't a rate is that the people don't want others to know how much they charge. Besides if you only want to watch the washing of dishes it might be different then if you want the living room vacumed and the kitchen cleaned.

So you would have to hire her *and* the "dominant figure"? In this economic meltdown, how many people would have the money to hire not one but TWO people to wash dishes and the time to watch them play-act it out?! Unreasonable. Your competition lacks a brain.

Thanks for the party!I had a great time at the party. Thanks for hosting it (e:pmt)! Sorry for passing out on your couch. I loved the tasty treats that (e:hodown) made, especially those stuffed figs. Everybody had really great costumes this year. I was happy to get to wear those pants that used to be my favorite but now have paint on them. Being Joey the plumber was way too much fun.

Yay I found the upload button!(e:mike) looked like this on the first flight heading towards Atlanta. It was my first time flying with him and it was also my worst flight. It was the closest thing to turbulence I have felt. Definitely had my stomach drop and it sounded like the plane was struggling a lot.
This is when he fell in love with Lenny. It was the cutest thing.
Here he is with PupperZ.
Looking hot in Florida.
Mike with my Mom.
Me and my M.O.M.
Mike and me.

My Mom about to hose down (e:mike) after he stepped in poo.

The thing about the embargo is that in Theory it is a good idea. But only in Theory. What it Happens most of the time is the government uses the military and takes stuff from the people and the People in Power stay that way and the people get poorer.
+1
I know this sounds harsh, but it reminds me of the collective punishment meted out by the Nazis in WW2.
The worst part of this whole embargo is: if the recent Cuban oil discovery pans out, the embargo will be lifted for the oil industry people in Texas. That is so shameful: we don't care about the suffering of the Cuban people, but if there's a dollar to be made, LET US IN!!
Soon, I hope. Soon.
It's funny - I had just turned my head to my co-worker and mentioned the Cuban embargo for some odd reason. I am going to write a journal entry.
