If you didn't run for office, who would have voted for you.
No controvery, fights over, so get back to work.

That's what the boss at my job would say, has said, & it didn't matter, right or wrong. Even if the boss was losing money & I showed him how to save or quit wasting money. Ask Dari Gold which used my ideas to save hundreds of thousands of $ on my ideas then fired me. My boss lost $ through what appeared to be kickbacks in the highly subsidized dairy industry. He had to start selling snow mobiles when the company didn't need the outside carrier he brought in at $50 more per load than company drivers could & quit using as many old semi trailers he leased at $1,200 a month, years on end, which could have been purchased for a few thousand $, one time cost?

I answered a letter from the corporate office asking for information into theft, fraud, & waste which emphasized no retaliation. They used my advise, relocated a warehouse to Boise verses Fruitland saving thousands of miles a year in transportation costs by eliminating the need to outsource transportation, money for empolyees as one driver could haul 10 to 12 loads a day verses four, & leasing/renting less equipment. They paid $160 per load to an outside carriers, four to eight loads a day while renting trailers at $1,200 each plus eight or more loads by Dari Gold drivers to haul to Fruitland. Required more trailers at $1,200 each & more hours by more Dari Gold employees making $20 an hour, kmore fuel to run trucks & reefers, more gridlock, pollution, accidents whcih did occur. I could go on.

With fuel costs, diesel at $3.25 & up, pollution, traffic/gridlock, & trucks doing much of the damage to roads compared to cars the cost of leasing in Boise is less than lease in Fruitland plus transportation I would think Dari Gold & the Gov. & legislature would appreciate a citizen stepping up. If you can't get the job done speak up & I'll make some suggestions to help you out.

But then what's more important? Agri business which contrubutes to the campaign of our representation or the health of the people/taxpayer, roads, gridlock, tax $, pollution, the EPA coming in to cut federal $, & a list perpetual? If Otter & the rest of our representatives want money for roads they might look within the pocket in which they're so comfortable.

When my boss harrassed me, corporate wouldn't step in so I made life a living h-ll for Dari Gold. Brought in the Federal Motor Carriers & DOT for an audit in which they gave Dari Gold a pass in log book violations & inspections which were handed over, dates & times! I was told by investigators that they gave Dari Gold a break in violations, allowed 10% without penalty? That should make people driving next to a semi feel good. What good are regulations when the law gives corporations a pass because they're in agri culture. Look into the laws & regulations & you should find it interesting that AG related businesses can run less regulated than over the road trucks. In many cases just because they're close to home, no log book, longer hours. I guess a driver doesn't get tired after 24 hours as long as he's within 100 miles of home.

When Dari Gold came out bragging they passed the audit with flying colors & my boss continued to harrass me I sent pictures to the USDA of trailers that hadn't been washed out in two years & the USDA went to Dari Gold & made them clean them out. Recent articles about food poisoning, E. Coli, beef recalls, & Mad Cow should make people think about the things we can do as individuals if the highly subsidized dairy, agri corruption, & our misrepresentatives won't. I don't need their job, I need the representation I pay for.

Other drivers at Dari Gold cowared when my boss told them their jobs would be lost if they don't cover up. They are some if Idaho's best no doubt putting money ahead of food & conditions the food their customers eat. Dari Gold sold private label to WINCO, Paul's, Ridley's so you decide what milk to drink & if milk should be Idaho's berverage. There were several occasions we delivered milk one day & had to go pick it up the next because it was bad! Much of it already sold, returned & thrown out because people took one drink. If Senator Langhorst would like to see pictures I'd be glad to send them. I didn't think so.

You can also decide if Otter who would raise vehicle registration to $150 per vehicle, use good judgement when he had his flunky write me a letter stating the USDA & FDA do inspections. If they do inspections, why hadn't the trailers at Dari Gold been washed out in two years? Do they do inspections every three years? That's how the recent beef recall came about isn't it?

Read the label on ground beef the next time you're at the store. Cook at 160 degrees for however long before eating. The USDA OKs that too. Another recent article in the Statesman pointed out problems, years later which people unforuntate enough to get food poisoning or E. Coli, should they live through the initial illness. Kidney failure sound like a day in the park?

Do you know what E. Coli is Senator? Enjoy your next burger/sh-t sandwich & glass of bacteria/milk. Do your kids eat the same beef or drink the milk sold to public schools, inspected by the USDA? You might want to pack them a lunch. Road kill might be safer.

continue to show disapproval of our representation. While our misrepresentatives themselves, {BSali} point out disapproval numbers some people continue to support representaives of millionaire status who spend millions of their own $ to get elected. Why would they do that?

Doesn't matter how you spell it, a certain few will never admit they have been taken. Gamblers never lose either. I can't help but wonder if those who suggest others need a doctor aren't seeing one themselves, or should be. Others who suggest ideas they would never have thought of don't have any of their own, go along with the people who manipulate them through public service, if that's what you would call it. I call it a shell game, slight of hand, a manipulation.

Politics is like the article in the business page, Survey: Patients pick up on companies' drug ads. Patients are easily duped into asking for drugs they don't need because they saw an advrtisement & the doctors, some suggest we need, sell us those drugs & whatever else they can while we're in a panic about something we don't even have?

Politics work the same way. It's all a manipulation, a scam, a con game & people who fall for it wouldn't listen if they were about to gove away their last dollar. Like Benny Hinn slapping some poor slob accross the head & suddenly he can walk. The blind can see if they give me all their worldly possessions, I'll save your soul from those evil doers.

Bush's war in Iraq is doing a bang up job of saving US from terror too. Iran & the new Iraq will no doubt be partners in the oil business before long, while WE the People pay $4 or $5 a gallon for gas & $150 auto registration fees. We'll no doubt be in Pakistan fighting terror with someone like McCain preaching war, war, war.

I don't care, pay the $150 registration, grocery taxes on top of a farm bill worth billions, drink the rotten milk, eat the E. Coli, pay your representatives $170K a year plus health care & retirement while you lose all the same. Don't forget why, campaign contributions! Somebody made bank on American blood.

I didn't vote for Bush, Craig, BSali, or very many of the people in office, now or in the past. I didn't go along with NAFTA vote for Clinton either. I'm not republican or democrat, I'm an American. Too bad that can't be said for either of the two parties selling US out for profit while sending Americans to war. The same two parties taking millions, {campaign contributions} in return for billions in tax cuts which average Americans will pay an enternity for.

What percentage of Americans disagree with the war in Iraq? 70%, they must need a doctor & the other 30% must be right in their mind. Broke, but doing as they're told & of healthy mind? What are those approval ratings? 14% for Congress, 25% for Bush. Don't count me as approving of the job they do while they take millions & hand out billions.

it's little wonder you're unaware of Bush's war. Confused & unaware pretty much covers it. I never claimed to own anything but the property I am buying, & paying more than my share of taxes evaded through campaign finance. Those are the tax cuts I'm talking about. Who do you think pays more taxes when corporate unAmerica pay less? Does the number $9 trillion sound familiar?

I don't have a problem fighting terror, just agree with most of America in that Iraq wasn't the threat Bush claimed it was. Maybe you have something on those WMD that you could share, something we don't know. If you were so afraid Iraq was going to attack US, let US know what the threat really was. They couldn't fire a scud across their own border & hit a target in a neighboring country, did they have the technology to nuke US?

Why spend billons & drive our economy into recession, following in Russia's footsteps? Is the the value of an Ivy League education from Harvard or Yale? Clinton cut our military & Bush did a 180. Between the two of them they pretty much prove the two party joke we call democracy doesn't work very well. Volley back & forth, undo everything the other party did while taking campaign contributions & handing out tax cuts in return. Promote free trade, illegal immigration, & war. That has American written all over it. If I don't agree with the way our government is doing things, maybe I'm not as American as you would dictate I should be.

The only reason 09/11 happened is failure by our government. The warnings of terrorist using of planes as bombs was out there years before it happened. Why didn't the President, Clinton or Bush or Congress for that matter, do something before that real threat instead of spend billions after 9/11 in a war we didn't need when the threat of WMD have been proven not to exist? That's all history, proven history.

Who is American? Who is just another republican trying to justify voting for a mistake & not willing to admit they were wrong? Those terrorist are going to get you. What's the problem, so scared you can't sleep at night?

Years ago we had President that said we had nothing to fear but fear itself, he got the job done without claiming to be a war president. Now we have a self proclaimed war President/oil man using fear as a tool to make money.

Full dosclosure, lets see how much $ the Bush dynasty has made in the last seven years. Let's see where all our representatives have their money invested. If they have noting to hide they won't mind.

It only works for bicycles and old cars or stereos or tube radios and records.
