Own Your Future

Interesting mail today. I received a mailing from the Office of The Governor, State of Iowa. This mailing is a new initiative called "Own Your Future". This is an initiative by the Federal Govt and State of Iowa. The purpose of this initiative is to encourage people between the ages of 45 & 65 to begin planning for their long-term care. They offer a free kit that can be ordered, called a Long Term Care Planning Kit, which was created by the US Dept of Health & Human Services.

The website provided a link www.longtermcare.gov/campaign/ia

I checked this out and basically it seems be all good but of course there is the end of life discussions. Surprise. Is this the new watered down version of the VA Booklet that the DHS has been giving to our Veterans? I am not a veteran so it seems this is going public.

It is disgusting the way this admin is and has been treating our veterans. The veterans know more about hard work and sacrifice than any of those thugs and thieves in DC.

Just thought I would share my interesting mail today. If you are able to find out any more info about this, like, is this every state doing this or just Iowa, let me know.

It is truly amazing what these dimwits are doing. Granted there could be some good legislation going on, hard to find. If you like the bills being introduced call your congressman and give him/her support. Otherwise, if you don't like what is in the bill please contact your representatives and spread the word around.

We have to watch everything "those people" do and get the word out. This is truly the only way to effect change. It wont be immediate but I can bet that the representatives are freaking out a little bit with the pressure we have put on them so far.

So that brings us 9/12. On 9/12 there is going to be a large rally in Washington DC, for lovers of this country and defenders of the constitution. Left, right, in between or what have you. Check out the 912 website for more details. If you cant make it to Washington DC for the rally, check with your local/state 912 orgs as they might have something planned somewhat locally. We need to RALLY and RALLY now!! Start making your plans!
