TIME TO PROVE WE HAVE GROWN UP…

Posted on 27 January, 2013 by Emma R. Sullivan

I firmly believe it is about time that the United States finally legalize the use of marijuana. Can the government believe the amount of revenue our country could make if they sold it with the same guidelines as alcohol and tobacco, and stop spending needless funds trying to stop it's sale and distribution? We can definitely make a major dent in our country's deficit with this golden crop. There are more important and deadlier drugs out in our streets that need to be stopped and confiscated. So if Boehner wants to st

op abortion (which I believe he stands a better chance of seeing Jesus touring in concert), then can we please show that we have grown up enough to realize that marijuana is not the danger the government tried to make it out to be. If we can legalize marijuana, along with adding legalized gay unions and women and gays in our military, it would prove that this country has taken a giant leap forward in proving that we have matured and have finally faced facts instead of fearing things that have made us afraid of our

own shadows.

MOMENTS THAT TOUCHES THE HEART…….

Posted on 25 January, 2013 by Emma R. Sullivan

I have not been on as of late due to dislocating my shoulder and severe neck disc compression of my spine and awaiting a visit to a surgeon to see if cortisone shots will help or else surgery will be needed. Unfortunately, it is affecting the use of my right arm in any way, shape or form, so that is why I have been unable to post some things I’ve wanted to say.

Please take this as my personal feelings and not wanting an ounce of pity or sympathy, cause Lord knows, there are many others who do deserve our compassion and sympathy today.

When 9/11 happened and when I visited ground zero in Manhattan, it knock the wind right out of

my lungs and broke my heart bringing me to tears. Not only because I lost my innocence on feeling secure in my own homeland, but that I was born blocks away from that very site and that my birthday is 9/12. It is hard to feel like celebrating when the day before was a memory I will never forget as I watched with disbelief as the planes crashed into the towers and the horror that unfolded afterwards. I remembered having a hand over my mouth and the other over my heart. It hurt me to my very core.

Then this fall a late season hurricane did the unexpected and traveled up the east coast slamming into New Jersey, New York and Connecticut causing billions in damage. Luckily, I had to replace part of my roof and that was all, but many were so severely impacted by this storm named Sandy that they are still trying to recover from it and many are living in motels after losing mostly everything in their homes due to flooding. It was a very big shock to us all.

Then slightly over a month ago a madman decided to go to an elementary school and kill 26 precious human beings, taking them from our lives forever. This happened in my home state and once again, I had a hand over my mouth and the other over my heart as I heard the news. I didn’t know any one of them, but I wept for them and their families and keep them in my prayers hoping that they can find solace in the knowledge that other people share in their pain. This was to be known

as the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, CT.

I was grateful at the way our elected officials, from our President on down, showed the families and friends of the victims how we can all come together to help them in their time of horror and despair.

Now what we need is legislation that will stop events like this from happening. My partner in life tells me there is no way of stopping this because if the people can’t purchase them legally they will purchase them illegally and he is right. That no matter what laws are placed, like in prohibition, people will find a way. Even though these arms are meant to kill humans and not to be used to hunt animals, our second amendment right says we have the right. Now when those laws were written, people living in the prairie, were fighting off Indians and using them to hunt for food. Today, they are used for us to kill each other.

Now a few years back, I remembered watching a movie in which the only people allowed to bear arms were military, police and every form of law enforcement and government. It was a scary thought and a scary film. When you are unable to protect yourself and your loved ones against people who make their own rules as law, as in the movie, and you are unable to fight back without risking your life, things can go quickly awry.

Yes, I believe restricting the magazine clips for these assault guns should be a law. I believe guns with magazines should be abolished all together. Making it harder for a gun you have to load every 10 rounds will slow an assailant down. That is one law which may protect massacres from occurring, giving time for security to step in while the gunman has to reload. Armed school security (which must be part of the police force) should be part of today’s way of life. There have been too many of these occurrences and little done to prevent it. Plus, metal detectors should also be part of a school security to make sure anyone entering the building will be unable to sneak a weapon in. It sadly is the world we live in today and we must accept and face this cruel fact.

HEY, JOHN BOEHNER, WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION……

Posted on 21 December, 2012 by Emma R. Sullivan

I hope that the American public can now realize that the GOP darn right refuses to work with the President on anything that he attempts to put forward unless he doesn’t keep out of his (John Boehner’s) tanned pockets, including his rich friends.This is starting to look very bad for

the GOP, while the president is kept with his back against the wall and left shoveling (whatever) against the tide with no way to help this country’s problems. I hope they are proud of themselves as they keep looking for ways to cut programs that the American public have invested in, in hopes of counting on those funds for their retirement and left wondering what will they have to look forward to when it is time to retire. Does the GOP even care about the hard working american elderly? NOT ONE BIT! They can’t even relate what we have to cope with without Social Security or Medicare. Sure they can continue due to their well-to-do life styles and fine retirement programs they receive when they retire from government service and yet we can’t expect the same. How unfair is that, to work all your life investing in a program that will be slashed to bits that we will not be able to look forward to a decent retirement lifestyle ourselves ?? Heaven help us baby boomers and those that are on disability.

HERE WE GO AGAIN…..

Posted on 5 December, 2012 by Emma R. Sullivan

What caused me to get so infuriated and lock myself in a room

for four solid days and nights and write a book about the dysfunctional government that we the people are stuck with is happening again. Here we go, boys and girls. Let’s hold hands as we jump off, the FISCAL CLIFF!!! Expletive (fill in whatever word you chose, my friends)! As I wrote in my book, there is an answer for all the problems that’s besieiging our country and expletive, the answers are not that difficult. I must revise my original manuscript to add the way our country can revise the way we can add funds to the fiscal empty wallet. There are already some ideas, but I missed one. Now I tell you, folks, if Clinton can do it, why can’t we do it again? And it always ends up with the same answer, those gosh darn republicans that don’t want to open their wallets to help the country that they supposedly love and represent. I don’t buy it. If they are so ardent in keeping their wealthy selves, friends, families and corporations without paying their fair share, IT IS TIME, GOP and ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HELP THE PRESIDENT ON THIS ISSUE, TO STEP UP or risk the chance of not being re-elected for another term. And also, forget about touching Social Security and Medicare. These are not really hand outs, but money that we the people have invested in our own future!

The Closing Down of Hostess

Posted on 19 November, 2012 by Emma R. Sullivan

I am so saddened and disappointed that companies that are able to generate 2.5 billion in revenue close their doors,

unemploy their workers and last, but not least discontinue producing the products that we enjoyed from our childhood to this very

day. What happened to the pride in producing a product enjoyed by millions for so many years? What happened to the pride of keeping Americans working at full time jobs producing said products? Have we no pride left?

Pitiful Mitt……

Posted on 10 November, 2012 by Emma R. Sullivan

He was too arrogant and full of himself, so that is why it was such a knock out blow to both him and his wife. Telling reporters that he had already wrote his victory speech without having a concession speech as a backup. Who told him he was going

to win, his Mormon God? It was bizarre how he took so long to concede. It was as if a staff member had to drag him by his feet from his hotel room to the hall against his will. And how odd was his wife’s behavior when she came in the hall, gave him a peck, and left him to deal with his children and grandchildren, when during the

The Grand Republican Party……

Posted on 10 November, 2012 by Emma R. Sullivan

The Republican Party has left most of the people in

this country with not wanting to having anything to do with them. They make up most of the 1% of the wealth in this country and do not have any idea what being part of a struggling family is in t

his day and age. Food, fuel, clothing, medications and necessities prices going through the roof that it is getting too hard to even barely get by. If you have a chance read “What the Hell is Wrong With the US Government or How Truly Easy it is to Balance the Budget or Budget Balancing for Idiots (101) or the US Senate” by yours truly and see if you don’t feel the same. It is available at justanamericanlikeyou.org or on facebook Just an American Like You. And as soon as the election is over they are discussing raising taxes? PLEASEEEE have mercy on us all.

Dear People of New England,

For two days prior to today, I witness the strangest thing. Small birds, don’t know if they were partridges or what but small with white bellies covered the whole circumference of lawn around my house
