plan, Anna will pay almost $700 a month for health insurance.
Anna will be living on a negative $300 a month!
This $300 a month will add to her arrears. Once the arrears reach $10,000 Anna can be put in jail and
receive a felony charge!

Both of these women were stay at home moms who volunteered at there children's school and helped with
fund raisers and taking children to sports and other after school events. These women get divorced from
abusive husbands and then go through a court battle where they all the sudden, are incompetent, crazy, or
abusive mothers. They go from taking care of their children to being the reason for all the problems in the
court case. Now they live in poverty. If you can't see what is happening in these cases and that the money is
the deciding factor of who got custody, please leave this website. We can not help you here!

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3
months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was
in 1971...before computers, before
e-mail, before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to
become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
Asking a minimum of twenty people on your E-mail address list to forward
information; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people
in The United States of America will have the message.
