Will Obamacare cost you?
IF you work for Boeing and are in management it will. What if you don’t? Lets look at the following from (AP). Someone has to pay for the uninsured and that someone is a working class person who received benefits from their employer. So, if a major company like Boeing is expecting a cost increase so will the company you work for. Therefore look for less benefits or higher cost of the benefits you are currently getting, and you owe this all to Obamacare.
“WASHINGTON (AP) — Aerospace giant Boeing is joining the list of companies that say the new health care law could have a potential downside for their workers.
In a letter mailed to employees late last week, the company cited the overhaul as part of the reason it is asking some 90,000 nonunion workers to pay significantly more for their health plan next year. A copy of the letter was obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
“The newly enacted health care reform legislation, while intended to expand access to care for millions of uninsured Americans, is also adding cost pressure as requirements of the new law are phased in over the next several years,” wrote Rick Stephens, Boeing’s senior vice president for human resources.”

“The bill of rights” what it means.
The bill of rights was added to the constitution to protect the rights of a U.S. Citizen, not an illegal alien, or any other non resident.
Please read the Bill right of rights and ask each on your elected officials to read it again before they in act a bill that does not follow the intentions of the writers of this most famous of all documents of the U.S of America.
“Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a “bill of rights” that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens.”
For your benefit and rights, The Bill of Rights
To fully understand the meaning of each amendment, you need the definition of each word as it was meant when written in 1789. Therefore, I present Websters dictionary version 1789. You can search this dictionary on Google books. Search for “An American dictionary of English Language”

“We the people” The US Constitution
“We the People” starts the preamble to the U.S. Constitution. It is time for our elected representatives to read this document and live by its creed. IF it was followed as written and in the context of which it was written, we would not have the problems our country faces today.
For your viewing pleasure The U.S Constitution.

Web Censorship Bill – Must Read
“A markup on SJC Chairman Leahy’s IP infringement bill was postponed late Wednesday, as staffers anticipated the chamber would finish legislative work and adjourn for recess before the hearing could commence,” says Politico.
A group of 87 prominent engineers who played critical roles in the development of the Internet have also voiced their objections to the COICA in a joint letter submitted to the US Senate Judiciary Committee.
“If enacted, this legislation will risk fragmenting the Internet’s global domain name system (DNS), create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure,” they warn. “In exchange for this, the bill will introduce censorship that will simultaneously be circumvented by deliberate infringers while hampering innocent parties’ ability to communicate.”
