Norm Coleman answered my letter.
I sent a email to Norm Coleman asking him to work on taking care or Global Climate change and to get programs in place to make it slow down and stop not for us, but for our childrens children.
this ass sent me this email calling me a Ms.???? what the fuck dicwad!
Dear Ms. Janssen:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding your support for the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008 (S. 3606).  I share your concern about greenhouse gas emissions; climate change is not a problem we can leave to our children to solve.
The Climate Security Act empowers Americans to transform our production of energy. It sets up a cap-and-trade system, just as was done in the 1990 Clean Air Act to combat acid rain, that gives greenhouse gas producers flexibility in meeting their obligations through submission of tradable allowances, which are permits to emit carbon dioxide. Additionally, this bill allocates these allowances in a manner that helps the producers transition to clean energy and to help energy consumers, both families and businesses, with their energy costs.
I believe that the America’s Climate Security Act will provide the economy-wide signals necessary to protect our climate for future generations, while defending the most vulnerable Americans and securing our global economic competitiveness from any unintended consequences. This legislation represents a bipartisan breakthrough that will put America on a path to a stable climate through a tremendous reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Though successful in achieving climate change objectives, over the last year I have made clear to Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA) that this legislation must do more to assist middle class families with energy prices and to protect U.S. jobs. I believe the latest version of this bill has made great strides in that direction.
First, this legislation dramatically increases the resources dedicated to help consumers, both families and businesses, with energy costs, bringing the total assistance to $1.7 trillion. Eight-hundred million dollars of this amount would be used for a tax cut for low-income Americans’ energy costs. Also, this legislation increases the funding that will go to consumers through their utility bill by 40 percent to $900 billion.
Secondly, this bill includes a new provision that would provide an important off-ramp should the cost of an allowance escalate. If the price is between $22 and $30 per allowance, this provision triggers a mechanism to bring down the cost of compliance to ensure the cost does not increase further. This trigger is critical because economic consequences are greater when the price of an allowance increases. Many of the high energy cost and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates cited by opponents of this bill have been taken from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) study that assumes an allowance price of at least $46 per allowance. Under this legislation, prices will not be allowed to get anywhere near that level.
Also, to protect American consumers at the pump, I authored an amendment to create a Fuel Assistance Fund to lower federal fuel taxes by an amount equal to increases in the price of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that are caused by this bill. Together with the $800 billion in the bill for low income tax cuts, this amendment could bring tax cuts to families dealing with higher energy costs to about $1.8 trillion by 2050.
Finally, this bill places a purchase requirement on importers of products like steel, chemicals, and other energy intensive products, should a commission find that the country of origin is not taking comparable action to curb greenhouse gases.
Thank you once again for contacting me. I will continue to look for innovative solutions to our environmental challenges. If I may be of further assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Sincerely,
Norm Coleman
I emailed Norm Coleman on the FISA Act.
I emailed Mr Coleman (I can not call him Senator do to the fact I did not vote for him and he does everything assbackwards) Telling him to vote against the FISA act and this is the lies he send back to me.
Dear Mr. Janssen:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the proposal for immunity for telecommunication companies included in the modernization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). I respectfully disagree with your view on this matter.
I believe that it is unfair to penalize companies for responding to written assurances from the highest levels of the government that their help is legal and essential for saving lives. The immunity provision will only apply to companies if they have official documents from the government demonstrating the activities were deemed legal and authorized by the President. I would also point out that the Senate Intelligence Committee looked into this matter and found that the telecom companies acted in “good faith” based on the information they had.
Whether the government acted properly is a different question from whether a private person has acted properly in responding to the government’s call for help. I have supported efforts to investigate the legality of the wireless surveillance program, and believe that if any wrongdoing is found, measures should be taken accordingly.
As you may know, the FISA Amendments Act of 2007 (S. 2248) was introduced by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) on October 26, 2007. This bill seeks to amend the FISA Act of 1978 in order to modernize and streamline its provisions, which is necessary for our country to enhance our nation’s capability to prevent future terrorist attacks. S. 2248 also includes a retroactive liability protection for telecommunication companies that assisted our government in a warrantless surveillance program in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. The bill was approved by the Intelligence Committee on a bipartisan basis and currently awaits consideration by the full Senate.
I support national intelligence activities undertaken by the federal government which are lawful and necessary for the pursuit of terrorists. I recognize that we need to strike a balance between preventing another terrorist attack and defending civil liberties. For this reason I am a strong proponent of Congressional oversight of surveillance activities.
I will continue to follow this important issue. While we may agree on some issues and disagree on others, I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to contact me on any issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Norm Coleman

Officers Mistaken Identity leads to felonies?.
How is this Fair?
My family is dealing with something very troublesome. Please read below a letter we have sent to a senator for help. It explains everything. I have been tweeting about this, and I have decided to post this blog so people can get as much info about this. The support we have is amazing and so much of the town of Abilene is presently rallying with us. But knowing how ugly the fight could get, I just want to have as much support, and prayer with us as we fight for justice here.
Dear Senator
I have a twelve-year-old nephew in Abilene, TX.  He is an A-honor-roll student and scores 100s on every state test.  He has never had disorderly conduct in school or been aggressive in any way.  Several former teachers have spoken on his behalf to a school board hearing stating that he is well-liked, helpful to others, not disruptive, and one said “The best student I’ve ever had.† (If you met him, you’d know what a loving personality he has. )  One day an incident occurred that changed my nephew’s life.  My nephew, Wyatt, (who is only twelve—but tall for his age) was a victim.  He’s never done anything wrong or been in any kind of trouble.  He was surprised one day that two regularly-dressed strangers tried to restrain him and handcuff him.  He thought he was being kidnapped, but was mistaken for a different boy who the officers were seeking.  He fought to get away, and bit one of his ‘abductors.’  He was fighting for his life.  Eventually, Wyatt discovered they were real peace officers.  After taking Wyatt to the juvenile detention center, he proved to them he was not who they thought.  Upon realizing their mistake, they decided to cover themselves by giving him felony charges.  That’s where that penal code comes in.  They used this law to threaten him into a plea bargain, so the family would not go forward in filing a law suit.  The family understands why this law is made—to protect, but in this instance, Wyatt should be an exception—because he is not a danger to others and is an outstanding student.  Please, Senator, continue reading…
My sister and brother-in-law have investigated the situation thoroughly.  My sister knows city officials personally and has now heard that the officers are claiming to have shown their badges to Wyatt and are suddenly claiming to have been in marked vehicles—while Wyatt’s father removed Wyatt’s belongings from the officer’s unmarked vehicle.  The same vehicle Wyatt saw them pull up in.   The officers have now changed their claims about the original pursuant they were after, being younger than 16 (since Wyatt is only 12), but his birth records show his age is 16.
Here’s the statement from his father at the school board meeting—while fighting for his son to stay in his honors program at his own school:
The Moment of Wyatt’s Alleged
Felony Assault of a Peace OfficerTwo adults in regular clothing with guns on their hips emerge from a blue car, approach, and stand at the entrance to fenced-in the skating area.
Detectives: “Colton, Colton, come here.â€
Wyatt steps tentatively toward them.
Wyatt: “Excuse me, did I do something wrong?â€
Detectives: “Do you think you did something wrong?â€
Wyatt, believing these people might be park workers, responds: “Is the skate park closed today?â€
Detectives: “You’re under arrest, Colton.â€
The detectives step toward Wyatt and grab Wyatt’s arms. Wyatt tries to pull away and run. Both detectives attack him and attempt to handcuff him.  As Wyatt struggles to free himself, he screams: “Help! Help! These aren’t real police! Help! Help! They’re trying to kidnap me!†Everyone out in the surrounding Rose Park simply looks on. During the struggle to handcuff him, the detectives tear out a handful of Wyatt’s hair and scour a large ten-inch abrasion and bruise across his chest. They handcuff him, hands behind his back, to the fence of the skate-park. They pull his shirt over his head to blind him and muffle his cries for help.
Four Important Points Regarding Wyatt’s
Alleged Felony Assault of a Peace Officer1. Before these two plain-clothed detectives accosted Wyatt and began grabbing and apprehending him, never, not once, did they identify themselves as police officers.
2. The detectives called Wyatt by the wrong name several times. This frightened and disoriented Wyatt.
3. Wyatt did exactly as he’d been taught to do by the AISD and by the Abilene Police Department. He tried to evade being grabbed; he repeatedly screamed for help and created a scene to draw attention; and he fought being abducted.
4. Wyatt attempted only to defend himself. By definition, assault is a willful offensive attack. Wyatt never did this. Wyatt fought to keep from being handcuffed by two plain-clothed, dangerously armed strangers who didn’t even know who Wyatt was. Wyatt’s actions were strictly defensive. He was trying to free himself and to run away.
Senator,  Wyatt’s teachers cried at the school board hearing, and so did the superintendent when he first viewed the photos of Wyatt’s wounds after the incident.  He has many supporters that know and will testify he is a good kid.  It’s not fair.  Being in an alternative school would scar him and scare him.  When did Wyatt make a bad decision?  What will he learn from this lesson?  I don’t see where he went wrong and has to be subjected to an alternative school-deprived of his GT classes, football, and UIL activities.  The experience could ruin him—and he’d be introduced to some REAL aggressive students of whom we don’t want him to know or them to know Wyatt.
What I’d also like to bring to your attention is that the one person on the board who did not seem to be in favor of Wyatt’s petition was a middle school principal (from another campus) who knew all about the details of the incident before he should have.  One of the two officers is a security guard at this principal’s campus.  They are friends.
The superintendent had already said in a prior meeting that he’d seek the minimum of one day at the alternative school.  I think when all had to come to an agreement,  the only minimum reached was a whole month—thanks to that officer’s friend on the board as that was an unfair judging.  Why is this alternative school being used as a place of punishment, instead of concerns that he could be a danger to others?   Since Wyatt did not “know†this was a public servant and since he was an innocent victim of mistaken identity and wounding—shouldn’t that count for his innocence.  The police are making themselves look like the victims now.  How can they do that?
Please, Senator, what can be done to help this situation?  Wyatt’s parents have been working with a local attorney and the real court hearing is much later after school begins—which, hopefully, will clear these felony charges against him.  They are currently seeking an out-of-town attorney and has sent Wyatt to live with an uncle in Victoria to attend a private school—only to protect him from being exposed to the environment of the alternative school.
There are already rumors that the officers and police chief are working to cover this up from being their mistake in the first place.  (According to supporters who’ve called the police chief and DA on Wyatt’s behalf.)
Wyatt’s father is a graduate of Harvard and is currently a professor at McMurry University.  His mother has connections in the city since has been an associate editor for the Abilene Reporter News and Director of the Tourism and Convention Bureau.  They have local support, but cannot convince the DA to be open-minded in the matter of their son.  They have kept the story from the media because of the two officers’ known efforts to cover their tracks in rebuttal.  However, the story will surface eventually as they are awaiting a fair trial.
Based on his outstanding student record, shouldn’t he be proven guilty BEFORE being sent to an alternative campus?
If you can help in some way, or have any contacts who would be willing to help with this, please call me.  This can happen to any innocent child—even the best of them, like Wyatt.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Now officers are spreading rumors deliberately to supporters implying ugly lies in “trench warfare†alleging to have evidence against Wyatt to scare the family into the plea bargain. The story implications are only vague enough to get by as rumors, but not specific—such as nasty rumors implying my nephew as doing something sexual in the back seat of their car.  Those who know him & his own teachers KNOW he would NEVER be vulgar or disrespectful in such a way.  He is not capable of it.  Though the officers know what is on the vehicle surveillance video—as does the attorney who has viewed it—the video WILL NOT show these alleged acts or ANY profanity (allegedly said by Wyatt as they are claiming)—to intimidate the family or convince the public before the hearing.  Wyatt’s mother heard these nasty accusations about her son and became physically sick and nauseous over these officers’ lack of integrity.
I am calling out all fans of New Media and all Podcasters! This is time where we can make a difference and help Geoff Smith’s nephew Wyatt and call the city and Police chief and Senators up and scream for justice!

Civilianism.com & Shelly Thomas.
Well I got a email from Shelly about how I blocker her on Twitter which I did not do. I have or had a ton of respect for her and her website and her podcast, I have NEVER said a bad thing about her or her podcast or her site, no I have always been a big backer of her and her site. when others attacked her I was there for her and what she was doing.
For some odd reason Shelly is mad at me, I have not idea what I did to her. but if she had emailed me and talked to me for what ever the problem is she would have found out the truth.
Refresh.
