The founder of Planned Parenthood was Margaret Sanger. Factual research on her shows the type of person that she REALLY was, not the sanitized heroic woman that Planned Parenthood attempts to convey. Sanger was a racist and firmly believed in eugenics. Eugenics is a racist pseudo science that attempts to wipe away all human beings deemed "unfit," preserving only those who conform to a (her) specified higher human condition. In 1926 she spoke before a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silver Lake, New Jersey and said; "We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." She maintained that the brains of Australian Aborigines were only one step more evolved than chimpanzees and just under blacks, Jews and Italians. She was specifically concerned with reducing the population of the "less fit", including inferior races. Her magazine at the time called for state sponsored sterilization programs, even forcibly sterilizing the "less capable".
Sanger was an atheist, an avowed socialist, and she abhorred capitalism. She betrayed her 2 husbands and abandoned her own 3 children. She detested marriage, she wrote in the first issue of her journal, The Rebel Woman, that marriage is a "degenerate institution". She had no use for family or motherhood, and detested domestic life. She constantly attacked Christian leaders and the Catholic Church. Her most frightening comment was; "The most merciful thing a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
This was the person who founded Planned Parenthood. Think about it.
Planned Parenthood performed 324,000 abortions according to their 2008-09 Fact Sheet and this number appears to be increasing every year. They are now expanding their influence internationally in places like Kenya, Nigeria, Latin America and the Caribbean. Instead of preserving life, the United Sates, it seems, is now exporting death. If there is any doubt that Planned Parenthood's business is abortion, only about 0.7% of the cases handled through PP are referred to full term and adoption. Following Margaret Sanger's directional leadership PP has introduced a non surgical, permanent sterilization procedure. For example, seventeen women had received this procedure at the PP Family Practice Health Center in Des Moines, Iowa. In addition to the 324,000 abortions, PP issues 1,436,808 "Emergency Contraception Kits" according to the Fact Sheet, which amount to nothing more than an early abortion.
Even though polls show that the majority of people in America oppose abortion (51% Pro-Life, 42% Pro-Abortion, Gallup Poll 2009), over $360 million of taxpayer money is used to support Planned Parenthood. Supposedly PP is a non profit organization. Undeterred from any government accountability, they recently showed a profit of $110 million. More recently Planned Parenthood clinics in Perth Amboy, New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia;...as well as Roanoke, Charlottesville, and Falls Church, Virginia were all accused, willingly, of offering help to a pimp for the sexual exploitation of underage girls. This includes offering services including abortions and birth control, for girls as young as 14. This is a taxpayer funded organization!
Well over 50 million abortions have been performed in the United States alone since Roe vs. Wade. With early abortions this figure could easily be over 100 million. Permanent sterilization is now taking place in America. Mother Teresa said; "We cannot fight credibly against other social and moral evils, including poverty and violence, while we tolerate mass killing by abortion."
Isn't it about time we reviewed not only our support of Planned Parenthood, but the tragic American error of abortion itself?

Loyal Fans Out in Cold at Super Bowl
Submitted as a Letter to the Editor to Several Publications
Still another year that the loyal season ticket holders of participating teams get screwed when it comes to acquiring tickets to the Super Bowl. Each team playing in the Super Bowl will be allocated 17.5 percent of the roughly 100,000 seats (they will squeeze in 105 to 110,000) in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The Cowboys will get 5 percent and the remaining 29 teams will get 1.2 percent of the seats (29 X 1.2.). The league distributes the other 25.2 percent. What actually occurs is that the teams place a lower percentage of their 17.5% allocation toward a lottery for season ticket holders. Teams use some of their allocation for players, coaches, sponsors, big money people, and celebrities. They are often secretive about how many tickets actually go into a lottery for season ticket holding fans. These are the people who sat through cold and blistery weather in Green Bay and Pittsburgh in support of their team. As an example, generously, I would guess that about 10% or 10,000 tickets go into the lottery for each team. That means that over 80,000 tickets (80%) go to those other than season ticket holders. This should NEVER be.
Now these same loyal fans, if they wish to attend the Super Bowl in support of their teams are stuck with paying anywhere from an average price of $4,000 a ticket, upwards to $30,000! Isn't it interesting that scalpers ALWAYS seem to get plentiful tickets, in fact they are so confident that they advertise tickets sales weeks in advance to the game. The fact is the NFL system is set up to feed the scalpers the Super Bowl tickets each and every year. Face value of the tickets runs from $600 to $1200.
The "celebrities" at the Super Bowl should be the season ticket holders of the participating teams, but they are last on the list. Taking precedent over them are coaches, players, sponsors, big money people, celebrities, and of course, scalpers.
Year after year the NFL and owners receive complaints over Super Bowl ticket distribution. They could care less.

Alfredo's Gallery
Alfredo's Gallery, Suffield, Connecticut, will be closed today due to Global Warming. Although the immediate reason for closing is a record snowfall, freezing temperatures, and freezing rain...this nonetheless is a result of the overall warming of the earth that is taking place. The United Nations, Al Gore, and climate scientists have told us this, and warned of this happening...erratic weather. Their explanation: If it is too hot, then that is global warming. If it is very cold and freezing, that is global warming. If we have record rain, or record snowfalls, you guessed it, that is global warming. All the weather that we are experiencing today is all part of global warming according to the experts.
For those that are skeptical, then they have recommended to just call it climate change. It should also be added that those that question or criticize the scientists that falsified the infamous "hockey stick" graph that proves warming, as well as falsifying other mathematical factors showing warming, and falsifying other information, we should accept their explanation that scientists always do this, there is nothing unusual about what they did. Also, our federal government and the media have told us that the earth is warming, so it must be a fact.
Further, the UN has stated it is a fact and pronounced that the debate is over. No contrary facts, science, or opinions will be allowed. Enough is enough, we should just believe it and get on with it.
As we go forward, at all costs, we must protect the environment and all wildlife. Therefore no action will be allowed to overcome warming that will affect our precious environment and wildlife. We must also accept the fact that MAN (Men & Women, Us) has caused warming to occur in our planet. WE are at fault. WE cause carbon emissions, that affect the environment, that causes warming. As a solution to what we caused, we must be responsible and offer offsets to the carbon emissions that we cause, in order to prevent warming from increasing even further. Please go to AlGore.com to find out how YOU can offset the carbon emissions that YOU cause. If you can't find an offset, then you will be required to pay a fine for your carbon emissions.
As we go forward in seeking energy independence, there are certain ground rules that we must follow. We can't drill for oil, even though we have MORE than enough offshore and in the continental United States because that will affect the environment and wildlife. We can't use nuclear power due to the radiation hazard. We can't mine and use coal due to detrimental affects to the environment. I am not sure why, but we can't use hydro-electric power. (Must be a good reason, just not familiar with it.) Natural gas has been suggested, but there may be a problem with that. What we must focus on, as recommended by our federal government, are solar and wind energy production. Our federal government has aligned themselves with General Electric to manufacture wind and solar equipment. (If you are buying stock, buy GE, they are a sure thing to make billions of dollars from their environmentally responsible approach to energy.)
There is a problem with all this however. President Obama has warned us that our energy costs, in combating warming, "will necessarily sky rocket". This means our heating, energy, gasoline costs, and more, will cost us 2 to 5 times, what we are currently paying, or more! The answer to this problem (they have it all figured out for us) is to work on CONSERVATION. What this means is smaller and fuel efficient cars, electric cars...no more SUVs, (they are bad). We can also see that our tungsten light bulbs are disappearing, and that will certainly make a difference. We also need to do our part and use less energy. Such things as staying home instead of traveling, keeping the temperature down in our homes...or use less air conditioning, not using appliances or devices that use power and energy...and...always, always, looking for carbon emission offsets. We must all face up to the fact that our standard of living will significantly decrease, while keeping in mind we are doing this to preserve our planet.
There are a few problems that remain, that I am sure will be all worked out by our federal government and the UN. All of this will be a huge negative effect on our manufacturing companies, many will close or go overseas. Millions of jobs will be lost. The prices of energy, to individuals (you and me) will not only skyrocket, but everything we purchase will skyrocket in cost. It has to. In addition, there is one major problem that will exist....all the solar and wind mill energy will be far, far short of our requirements. What that means is that our dependence on foreign oil will linger on, if fact, we will be even MORE dependent upon foreign oil. I sure hope all those nations learn to like us and not hate us anymore...and all this terrorism ends. (I am sure they have all of that figured out.)
Please do your part in all this.
Anyway, Alfredo's Gallery is closed today due to global warming.

Obama Administration Bears Responsibility
The polarization of America and ensuing rhetoric has to fall directly on the shoulders of the Obama administration. The American people have watched in horror as our great country is being destroyed right before us. This includes trillions of dollars added to our national debt coupled with out of control spending that is driving our country to financial ruin. The federal government seizures in the car industry, financial institutions and banking, the energy industry, and more, has further alarmed the American people. Legislation against the will of the American people rammed through Congress without even reading it, using deceit, back door deals, and bribes to accomplish it, is cause for further alarm. Out of session, and other appointments, to critical positions in government, circumventing the Congress, is even further cause. Age discrimination against the elderly that is both implied and overt is of deep concern in regard to healthcare rationing and more that is aimed against seniors. Our American heritage and pride as a nation are being undercut in the international arena by an apologetic approach, inaccuracies about our history, and demeaning comments about our country. Laws are being selectively and unevenly enforced. Our Constitution is being routinely violated and our freedoms are being eroded. People see a direct path toward socialism, an ideology that has shown historically to be destructive to a country and oppressive to the people.
People have not only a perfect right, but an obligation, to speak out. It goes without saying that any form of violence or threatening rhetoric has no place in America. At the same time you can't blame people for being angry over what they see happening to their country and expressing it strongly. The federal government and elected officials are accountable to the people. If it were not for the direction of the Obama administration there would be no Tea Party. This grass roots movement began for all of the reasons stated above, and more.
What is causing even further divide in our country is the verbal backlash by the Obama administration against opposition voices to their policies in calling them racists, hate mongers, radicals, Nazi's, and worse. The media has also widely carried these false accusations against ordinary Americans who are simply expressing their concern. Conflict management teaches not to escalate disagreement, yet this is exactly what the Obama administration, with full complicity of the media, does. Further there is serious talk and direction in attempting to shut off talk radio and cable news that present opposite opinions...a direct assault on free speech.
The American people should continue, and continue strongly, to peacefully speak out against the policies of the current administration and those in government who are in concert with it. Recent attempts to shut off opposition opinion and communication are out of order and not in keeping with the Constitution and our rights as Americans.

Shocking Info on Flu Vaccine
Would you allow, under the direction of the United Nations, a "leftover" substance manufactured in China, to be injected into your body? Most people would emphatically say NO! Yet this is exactly what happened, unknowingly, when millions of Americans received their recent seasonal flu vaccine shot.
There appears to be very short memories over the fact that through the UN's World Health Organization (WHO) a false panic alarm was issued over the "swine flu" predicting a pandemic where millions would die. This was headline news throughout the world for many weeks. At first it was reported that no vaccine was known or available for the swine flu. Then suddenly and mysteriously a vaccine appeared with no explanation over the first claim of none available. People were confused. The source of this vaccine was not reported, but apparently the H1N1 vaccine swine flu strain was manufactured in China by the Chinese pharmaceutical company, Sinovac. Americans, naturally very worried about fatality claims of the swine flu were urged to get vaccinated and many did. Others were more skeptical. Huge quantities of the swine flu were produced and there was an eventual under use and therefore over supply. What to do with all this leftover vaccine?
The answer was that the UN through, the World Health Organization, directed that a new trivalent vaccine use this leftover H1N1 swine flu strain as a component of the regular seasonal flu vaccine for use in the 2010-2011 Northern Hemisphere influenza season.
Many, many questions should be asked. First, where is the accountability for the false alarm swine flu pandemic that was claimed? By the US Congress? By the media? Secondly, why is the UN dictating to America what vaccines we should use? Where is the US Center of Disease Control and Prevention where we pump ongoing billions of taxpayer dollars? Where is the US Department of Health and Human Services? Where is the American Medical Association and the medical profession? Where is the US Congress?
Why are we allowing an unknown, untested, leftover substance manufactured in China to be injected into our bodies? This is the same China that has demonstrated little care over safety, the environment, health, and quality in regard to goods imported into the United States. Witness quality / safety / health issues with toys, cribs, high chairs, building materials, contaminated and poisonous pet food, harmful stuffing in pet beds and toys, and more? And our Congress and responsible agencies of our government just allow the UN to decide? There should be outrage over all this!
For those who may think that this is a nothing issue, it is suggested that you do your own research on the Internet. What you will find, is not just a few, but thousands of complaints over the after effects of the seasonal flu vaccine such a severe and prolonged joint pain and swelling, some even reporting difficulty walking, and many other negative side effects.
There needs to be serious look at how we are administrating the health safety, as well as the vaccination management process for all Americans. Certainly we should NEVER allow an outside organization to dictate health issues in America. We should hold our current government agencies accountable in doing so.

Letter to Senator Scott Brown on START Vote
To: Senator Scott Brown December 23, 2010
Dear Senator Brown:
This is to let you know of my extreme disappointment for your vote in favor of the START Treaty. Instead of allowing time for due consideration with the new Congress you allowed the Obama administration to again rush and ram through legislation under a false banner of end of year urgency...and you fell for it.
Worse, by your vote you allowed Russia to dictate the terms on a treaty that is detrimental to the safety and security of the United States. While we reduce our nuclear capability, Russia has been given an opportunity to increase their strength against us. Any concessions by them are meaningless, since as history has proven...they always cheat and renege on their agreements.
The worst part of this so called "Treaty" is the fact that we have given up our right to defend ourselves!! If nothing else was evident to you about how bad this Treaty is, all logic and common sense are absent on your part... how in the world could you EVER vote to give up our right to self defense?!
By your voting record you are fast becoming the Olympia Snowe of Massachusetts. All of us who worked so hard to get you elected have effectively been spit upon. We will remember you at re-election time.

Truth & Fact: Obamacare a Disaster for Seniors
An Associated Press article was recently carried in newspapers throughout the country on a back page: "Congress postpones cuts to doctors' Medicare payments". This SHOULD have been a front page article since it gets right to the heart of the affect of Obamacare on seniors. It should not be overlooked that in the new national healthcare plan $1/2 trillion will be taken out of Medicare. Among other things what this means is that doctors will receive a 23% pay cut for Medicare expenses. There is little doubt that doctors, in turn, will start refusing new Medicare patients (seniors), and some may eliminate existing ones.
From the start, for those who have theirs eyes, ears, and minds wide open, the path has been as clear as can be. It strains credulity to believe otherwise and not look at the facts. From the very beginning, a chief advisor to President Obama on healthcare, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, is ON RECORD saying many times that healthcare should be rationed in favor of those "most productive in society". This specifically excludes seniors. This has been followed by Obama, himself, in answer to questions on ABC, where he said that "maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller." (In reference to the elderly). In another instance he said, "I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance". All of this is on record and shows the mind set in regard to healthcare for seniors with respect to Obamacare. In effect all of this says...Healthcare for seniors is very expensive, decisions need to be made (by some group), It might be better to give the senior a painkiller than expensive treatment. This is the ONLY conclusion that can be drawn from the facts by any informed and intelligent person. Further, it can be clearly concluded that seniors are increasingly going to find it difficult to even get a doctor to see them!
Yet there is still further proof on the mind set behind Obamacare in regard to seniors.
Not known by many, even those in Congress who voted for it, H.R. 1 (the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill) contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (An obfuscatory title, wouldn't you say?) The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council's purpose, that effectively has the goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions, and more. Call this "Council" , this panel, what you will, but if one looks thoroughly and factually into it, there is little question that it is detrimental to seniors...by design! By the way, who do you think is on this "Council"? Ezekiel Emanuel, so you can see right away the thinking that will be prevalent.
Further evidence behind the mind set behind Obamacare was shown by Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar, who wrote in a New York Times op-ed that healthcare rationing (for people) is both moral and good public policy. He believes "government has to lead you by the nose in every facet of life". Sunstein believes that all of your rights exist only because the federal government allows you to have them.
Still further, David Berwick, Obama's appointee to head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who will be overseeing implementation of America’s new government-run health care told the Biotechnology Journal in 2009, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care; the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open". Earlier he had lamented that America’s current health system was designed to respond to the needs of individual patients, and he said a new health system instead should require patients to prove the value of proposed treatment. Still more he stated costs must be contained, so decisions are made through a "comparative effectiveness" formula, which compares various treatments versus benefits the patient receives. If a treatment costs more than the "quality adjusted life years" merit, treatment is denied. Is there any doubt whatsoever that this will be extremely detrimental to seniors and their healthcare?
There is overwhelming proof, based upon facts that the new government-run health care will be both detrimental and discriminatory against seniors. This is not the America we once knew. These truths should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
From the start, for those who have theirs eyes, ears, and minds wide open, the path has been as clear as can be. It strains credulity to believe otherwise and not look at the facts.

Not known by many, even those in Congress who voted for it, H.R. 1 (the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill) contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (An obfuscatory title, wouldn't you say?) The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council's purpose, that effectively has the goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions, and more. Call this "Council" , this panel, what you will, but if one looks thoroughly and factually into it, there is little question that it is detrimental to seniors...by design! By the way, who do you think is on this "Council"? Ezekiel Emanuel, so you can see right away the thinking that will be prevalent.
Further evidence behind the mind set behind Obamacare was shown by Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar, who wrote in a New York Times op-ed that healthcare rationing (for people) is both moral and good public policy. He believes "government has to lead you by the nose in every facet of life". Sunstein believes that all of your rights exist only because the federal government allows you to have them.
Still further, David Berwick, Obama's appointee to head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who will be overseeing implementation of America’s new government-run health care told the Biotechnology Journal in 2009, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care; the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open". Earlier he had lamented that America’s current health system was designed to respond to the needs of individual patients, and he said a new health system instead should require patients to prove the value of proposed treatment. Still more he stated costs must be contained, so decisions are made through a "comparative effectiveness" formula, which compares various treatments versus benefits the patient receives. If a treatment costs more than the "quality adjusted life years" merit, treatment is denied. Is there any doubt whatsoever that this will be extremely detrimental to seniors and their healthcare?
There is overwhelming proof, based upon facts that the new government-run health care will be both detrimental and discriminatory against seniors. This is not the America we once knew. These truths should be on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
