My letter sent today to Illinois Representatives Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk

 Below is a letter I sent today to my state representatives in Illinois, requesting their support for: 

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

 

This information came from posts on Facebook and online at several blogs and forums. After reading it I realized that this needs to be passed on as far as it can go so that all United States citizens can contact their state representatives in Washington and help protect their rights.

Sir,
  As you know there is a new 28th amendment to be voted on soon. I would like this to be pushed forward. "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
 
The article below disturbs me and I'm afraid that the people of the citizens, including my self, have been taken advantage of for too long by the unfortunate self-serving politicians in Washington.

I challenge you to read this and NOT have the will to pass it on to all your friends!

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense..

Monday we learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.

This is an idea that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed while citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

If each person that receives this will share it, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

  These kinds of actions that the politicians in congress have been passing amendments for their own needs and not the needs of our Citizens as well as the members of our armed forces is unforgivable.
 I'm hopeful that I can count you as not someone who would support legislature that benefits all citizens and not just you and your fellow politicians. As with our men and women in the armed forces of the United States of America, Service is it's own reward.
 Thank you for your attention,
Tom Shields

Google Music Store Chases Apple’s ITunes - Bloomberg

Google Music Store Chases Apple’s ITunes - Bloomberg:

'via Blog this'

Doesn't matter if Apple has a head start, look how long it took Google Android phone to catch the iPhone in sales. I think we will see a similar action against iTunes. :)

Seriously though, Apple is the top gun in this situation. Even with Amazon and Spotify as competitors, Google is the challenger to Apple. Google has shown that people who enjoy easy access to their apps and internet while on the go, can give what they want for a cheaper price and easier problem solving. In many ways we are looking at a new match that used to be Microsoft and Apple. Now it's Google and Apple.

The funny thing is that Google may be late getting the store up, but they were one of the first for creating a cloud service for music storage and access, besides Amazon. Granted Amazon got to the line first, but Google came right back and offered access for free, no fees. Also the storage on Google's Music is much larger then what Apple and Amazon offer and requires no purchases to have access.

   Apple iTunes has the massive library, also ease of purchasing both on your computer and through mobile devices as well as easy sync of music and apps, not to mention back-up. Google does have a big monster of a dragon to slay in matters of iTunes. But as the defeat of the Apple iPhone has shown, Google is up to the task.

The Female version of Penis Envy

Tonight a friend of mine, a girl and she is a friend on Facebook and I know her from work, told me about how she had seen a young blonde woman, about her age, driving a muscle car that she would love to have. See that particular car has always given her a little hotness down in her nether region.  She said that it worried her that she was turned on by such a thing, seeing a woman driving a car she likes and it made her excited.
  I told her it was nothing to be ashamed or worried about. She was just having the female version of penis envy. She saw another woman with something she wanted. Not unusual, a simple fact. I see guys everyday with something I want, but I can't have it. Penis Envy. Women get the same thing.  In this case she saw a car that another woman had and was turned on and she wanted that car.
  Which when you think about it.....a car is very similar to a man's penis. It is very strong and hard when it's turned on. It makes women excited when it drives by them. And it can come really fast when pushed to the limit.
