Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4391 (SPECIAL QUOTE)
---- That quote is worth sharing, James. And very timely. I was watching C-SPAN last night. Ross Perot was addressing an assembly of folks in his United We Stand organization in MD. I wish I had taped the "facts" he quoted about us being sold down the river. I just wrote a letter to UWS, asking for an application for membership. I called our local tax payers association and will be joining them as well. Why? As the country knows, Califronia is in a depression. We, too, have been sold down the river. We had an vote, a few days ago, regarding stopping local funding being sent to the state, and if we wanted a special assessment to protect our fire departments. The first issue was yes, the second, no. Prior to the vote, I called the supervisor's office and the office of personnel to find out exactly how much fire folks make. To my amazement, a starting fire person earns $3,2xx. per month and a $99x. benefits package. Just add that up. That's a starting wage of over $4,000.00 a month. That's not right! With all this equipment laying around here, and my knowledge, I can set up an automated blizzard that will choke them to death until they comply. They all have faxes. I can fax them every evening with a demand. They all receive mail. I can auto-mail the whole lot for pennies--again, with demands. I will focus each demand around the platforms presented to me by UWS and the tax payers association. I will also publish what works and what does not and how to set up your own blizzard. Good quote, James... thanks! -Rick-
