Let me first start off saying 2 things 1. This is Mr. Furious WIFE 2. I am not prejudice!!!!!
There is a place here in Oklahoma called Neighbor for Neighbor. What they do is assist people who can't afford insurance or just plain can't get it for one reason or another. It is funded buy our tax dollars. They provide limited dental, medical and you may get glasses for $30. Me and my husband have not been able to receive insurance for some time now either because it is to expensive or it's not offered to us. Take me for instance. I work for my sister part time through a company and can not get full time because I am only able to work for her because of the family plan they have. I can not get insurance because I HAVE to be working full time but they won't let me work full time because I'm working through the family plan. Stinks!!!! Anyway!!! I have had to use Neighbor for Neighbor before but is near to impossible to get in. It's a first come first serve thing. That is not what makes me angry though. What I am vary angry about is that me and others are put off because illegal immigrants are being aloud to use this service too. I have a couple of dear friends that are full blooded Mexicans. One of them is going through a very hard time right now with a loss of job and her daughter is VARY sick with lupus. My friend needs medical care her self right now and some dental. Do you think me or her are at the top of the list to get some help. NOPE!!!!! When you walk in that place it is FULL and I mean FULL of illegal immigrants. I'm not saying we should not help them but I am saying the tax paying Americans who are helping with the funding should be first. We should not be pushed aside so they can use it all up. On top of which they are also able to receive food stamps and other benefits. Now let me tell you something. I don't feel tax paying Americans should have to put up with this kind of junk. If you want to work hear and live hear. Get your citizenship or a work visa and I won't say a word about you getting help. It would only be fair. I don't understand why when I go into the DHS office to receive help I am told I have to have social security cards for all persons living in the home, birth certificate, photo ID, paycheck stubs for 60 days, all utility bills, bank statements, titles for vehicles, rent receipts or house payments, right arm, left leg, one eye, some strands of hair and finger prints ect....... just to even start the process to receive benefits. God forbid if you miss one cause you WILL be denied. On the other hand I am curious what the illegal immigrants have to provide. We all know they work under the table to get there money and they are NOT paying taxes on it. Is it being turned in to the DHS office as money received in the home????? I would hope so but probably not. If that where one of us we would be facing jail time for lying to the state. Why are we changing our legal documents to Spanish to conform.. This is America not Mexico we speak English. Grant it it's hard to learn to speak and spell but we did it. If you want to do something to help illegal immigrants try to make it easier to get their citizenship or work visas and for the illegals who just don't want to do that send them back. Don't just GIVE them the freedoms our soldiers fight and die for. And the TAX PAYING AMERICANS pay for. It's NOT RIGHT.

I have been bitching about the same things now for over ten years and many people older than me have been bitching for decades about it.
Things have a way of workign out and all shall get theirs in due time.
Yet another reason to not vote McCain in 2008 and to find a good leader for the GOP. Amnesty is not an answer.
Who is on your ticket? I am thinking maybe Mitt Romney but who the hell knows.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and know that I am about to embark on the job-no job-job-no job rollercoaster as well in just a few days.
Godspeed.
