OK. I'll stand corrected. Seems a lot easier than this, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (H.R. 3200)

Also C-SPAN, I think Washington Journal will have someone talking about the British and French systems.
Available now is a video about the Canadian System. It's biased, but informative.

As I inderstand the bill, Everyone will have a choice. If they can find an approved provider they like, they can use it.
What is important it will be mandatory that all wage earners will be responsible to pay their share.
How the government is going to enforce this isn't clear to me as yet. In fact that is the problem. Very little of this whole bill is clear at this time. It doesn't matter, just vote and hope.
FYI, from my stste rep web site. He has a simplified format PDF where there is a plain language description of the bill.
http://www.farr.house.gov/
TITLE III—SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
SUBTITLE A – INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
Sec. 301. Individual responsibility. Cross-references the shared responsibility provision in the Internal Revenue Code where an individual has the choice of maintaining acceptable coverage or paying a tax.
I suspect the IRS will become the bill collector. They haven't done so well these past years, so I expect that will be another area where the new administration will venture.

Democratic Health Care Bill Divulges IRS Tax Data
Declan McCullagh also reports that, under Section 1801(a) “the Social Security Administration can obtain tax return data on anyone who may be eligible for a ‘low-income prescription drug subsidy’ but has not applied for it.”
So the Health Choices Commissioner and anyone in his office, the fifty state health programs and their staffs, and the vast Social Security Administration will all now have access to your personal tax information.

The latest I have heard is there will be a fee of 2.5% of their wages.
For the sake of argument lets say $50,000 would be $1,200.00 or roughly 100.00 per month. Mandatory. The government is setting us facilities so this can be paid directly from the bank to the fund.

Obama's Civilian National Security Force
How about this one? I'm still concerned about the direction the politics of this administration is taking the country I love. The spending, growing government size, and scope of control is not what I think Obama promised before the election. Where is the transparency? SharonB
Senator Obama was nearly 17 minutes into his July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Colorado and made this pronouncement.
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." (emphasis added)

Does this seem to be laying the ground work for complete control of our economy, communications, and free speech rights? Am I getting paranoid? There is already an active effort to shut down the conservative talk shows free speech rights called the Fairness Doctrine. SharonB
Legislation currently is before Congress that would reinstate a federal communications policy known as the "fairness doctrine." The legislation, entitled the "Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1993," is sponsored in the Senate (S. 333) by Ernest Hollings, the South Carolina Democrat, and in the House (H.R. 1985) by Bill Hefner, the North Carolina Democrat.

Is the Internet next?
Senate Bill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 show the Senate bill could give the president a "kill switch" on the Internet and allow him to shut out private networks from online access.
A Senate bill would offer President Obama emergency control of the Internet and may give him a "kill switch" to shut down online traffic by seizing private networks -- a move cybersecurity experts worry will choke off industry and civil liberties.
Details of a revamped version of the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 emerged late Thursday, months after an initial version authored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., was blasted in Silicon Valley as dangerous government intrusion.
"In the original bill they empowered the president to essentially turn off the Internet in the case of a 'cyber-emergency,' which they didn't define," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which represents the telecommunications industry.
"We think it's a very bad idea ... to put in legislation," he told FOXNews.com.
Clinton said the new version of the bill that surfaced this week is improved from its first draft, but troubling language that was removed was replaced by vague language that could still offer the same powers to the president in case of an emergency.
"The current language is so unclear that we can't be confident that the changes have actually been made," he said.
The new legislation allows the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and make a plan to respond to the danger, according to an excerpt published online -- a broad license that rights experts worry would give the president "amorphous powers" over private users.
"As soon as you're saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it's going to be a really big issue," Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told CNET News.
A Senate source familiar with the bill likened the new power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when he grounded all aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001, CNET News reported.
Spokesmen for Senator Rockefeller and the Commerce Committee did not return calls seeking comment before this article was published.
But Rockefeller, who introduced the bill in April with bipartisan support, said the legislation was critical to protecting everything from water and electricity to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records.
"I know the threats we face," Rockefeller said in a prepared statement when the legislation was introduced. "Our enemies are real. They are sophisticated, they are determined and they will not rest."
The bill would also let the government create a detailed set of standards for licensing "cybersecurity professionals" who would oversee a single standard for security measures.
But many in the technology sector believe it's a job the government is ill-equipped to handle, said Franck Journoud, a policy analyst with the Business Software Alliance.
"Simply put, who has the expertise?" he told FOXNews.com in April. "It's the industry, not the government. We have a responsibility to increase and improve security. That responsibility cannot be captured in a government standard."
Clinton, of the Internet Security Alliance, praised President Obama's May science policy review, which he said would take cybersecurity in the right direction by promoting incentives to get the private industry to improve its own security measures.
But he faulted the Senate bill, which he said would centralize regulations for an industry that is too varied to fall under the control of a single set of rules without endangering the economy and security.
"We think a lot of things need to be done to enhance cybersecurity," he told FOXNews.com, but this bill is "not something that we could support."

Bill would give president emergency control of Internet
by Declan McCullagh
Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.
They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.
The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.
"I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its vagueness," said Larry Clinton, president of the Internet Security Alliance, which counts representatives of Verizon, Verisign, Nortel, and Carnegie Mellon University on its board. "It is unclear what authority Sen. Rockefeller thinks is necessary over the private sector. Unless this is clarified, we cannot properly analyze, let alone support the bill."
Representatives of other large Internet and telecommunications companies expressed concerns about the bill in a teleconference with Rockefeller's aides this week, but were not immediately available for interviews on Thursday.
A spokesman for Rockefeller also declined to comment on the record Thursday, saying that many people were unavailable because of the summer recess. A Senate source familiar with the bill compared the president's power to take control of portions of the Internet to what President Bush did when grounding all aircraft on Sept. 11, 2001. The source said that one primary concern was the electrical grid, and what would happen if it were attacked from a broadband connection.
When Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) introduced the original bill in April, they claimed it was vital to protect national cybersecurity. "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs--from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records," Rockefeller said.
The Rockefeller proposal plays out against a broader concern in Washington, D.C., about the government's role in cybersecurity. In May, President Obama acknowledged that the government is "not as prepared" as it should be to respond to disruptions and announced that a new cybersecurity coordinator position would be created inside the White House staff. Three months later, that post remains empty, one top cybersecurity aide has quit, and some wags have begun to wonder why a government that receives failing marks on cybersecurity should be trusted to instruct the private sector what to do.
Rockefeller's revised legislation seeks to reshuffle the way the federal government addresses the topic. It requires a "cybersecurity workforce plan" from every federal agency, a "dashboard" pilot project, measurements of hiring effectiveness, and the implementation of a "comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy" in six months--even though its mandatory legal review will take a year to complete.
The privacy implications of sweeping changes implemented before the legal review is finished worry Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco. "As soon as you're saying that the federal government is going to be exercising this kind of power over private networks, it's going to be a really big issue," he says.
Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to "direct the national response to the cyber threat" if necessary for "the national defense and security." The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.)
"The language has changed but it doesn't contain any real additional limits," EFF's Tien says. "It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There's no provision for any administrative process or review. That's where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it."
Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, and when the government would exercise control over your computers or network.
The Internet Security Alliance's Clinton adds that his group is "supportive of increased federal involvement to enhance cyber security, but we believe that the wrong approach, as embodied in this bill as introduced, will be counterproductive both from an national economic and national secuity perspective."
Update at 3:14 p.m. PDT: I just talked to Jena Longo, deputy communications director for the Senate Commerce committee, on the phone. She sent me e-mail with this statement:
The president of the United States has always had the constitutional authority, and duty, to protect the American people and direct the national response to any emergency that threatens the security and safety of the United States. The Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity bill makes it clear that the president's authority includes securing our national cyber infrastructure from attack. The section of the bill that addresses this issue, applies specifically to the national response to a severe attack or natural disaster. This particular legislative language is based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks. To be very clear, the Rockefeller-Snowe bill will not empower a "government shutdown or takeover of the Internet" and any suggestion otherwise is misleading and false. The purpose of this language is to clarify how the president directs the public-private response to a crisis, secure our economy and safeguard our financial networks, protect the American people, their privacy and civil liberties, and coordinate the government's response.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for an on-the-record answer to these four questions that I asked her colleague on Wednesday. I'll let you know if and when I get a response.

Anastasia: I have tried numerous times to get the answers to your questions. Blair returns my letters even though they are plainly addressed to him. The first was to him as President and CEO,Prior co. name, at the SD address. The next to Blair Kreuger CEO at Green Card Capital Corp., the SD address. Undeliverable as addressed.
Here are the questions in my last letter. If someone can get him or any representative to respond it would be appreciated.
I really want to help, not hinder the company in anyway.
...
Mr Blair Kreuger, CEO and Mr. Farooq, Investor Relations.
I was told by you Mr. Krueger, that price appreciation is not a priority at this time and future growth is where the concentration of efforts will be made. The bid price at that time was $1.25 a share. The current bid price of GALH is .08 cents a share. How are these efforts proceeding? It is now 9 months later.
For instance, do we still have an interest in the Days Inn Property in New Orleans? What is the current status of this project?
I am contacting you Mr. Blair Krueger as I have not been able to arrange a communications link with Ali Farooq for inquires.
Has the domestic limited partnership (a “Fund Partnership”) and the warrants been established?
What is the current status with the acquired 160 acres in Duchesne, Utah? The intention is to develop the land parcel into a mixed-use commercial center?
Are there any new projects that can be announced?
Have there been any changes since the last report was made at this link:
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=galh on May 2, 2008. Will you be updating the filings with Pink Sheets?
Can you reply or refer me to another source for a response to these questions?

God bless the Marine corp on their birthday. more
Marine Corps Birthday: (excerpt from Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines, copyright 2001 Marion F. Sturkey)
All U.S. Marines are gung-ho. But, few can match the vision and total commitment of the famous 13th Commandant, Gen. John A. Lejeune. In 1921 he issued Marine Corps Order No. 47, Series 1921.
Gen. Lejeune's order summarized the history, mission, and tradition of the Corps. It further directed that the order be read to all Marines on 10 November of each year to honor the founding of the Marine Corps. Thereafter, 10 November became a unique day for U.S. Marines throughout the world.
Soon, some Marine commands began to not only honor the birthday, but celebrate it. In 1923 the Marine Barracks at Ft. Mifflin, Pennsylvania, staged a formal dance. The Marines at the Washington Navy Yard arranged a mock battle on the parade ground. At Quantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Marine baseball team played a Cuban team and won, 9 to 8.
The first "formal" Birthday Ball took place on Philadelphia in 1925. First class Marine Corps style, all the way! Guests included the Commandant, the Secretary of War (in 1925 the term "politically correct" didn't exist; it was Secretary of War, not Secretary of Defense), and a host of statesmen and elected officials. Prior to the Ball, Gen. Lejeune unveiled a memorial plaque at Tun Tavern. Then the entourage headed for the Benjamin Franklin Hotel and an evening of festivities and frolicking.
Over the years the annual Birthday Ball grew and grew, taking on a life of its own. In 1952 the Commandant, Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr., formalized the cake-cutting ceremony and other traditional observances. For example, Marine Corps policy now mandates that the first piece of cake must be presented to the oldest U.S. Marine present. The second piece goes to the youngest Marine. Among the many such mandates is a solemn reading of the Commandant's birthday message to the Corps.
Like the U.S. Marine Corps itself, the annual Birthday Ball has evolved from simple origins to the polished and professional functions of today. Nonetheless, one thing remains constant, the tenth day of November! This unique holiday for warriors is a day of camaraderie, a day to honor Corps and Country. Throughout the world on 10 November, U.S. Marines celebrate the birth of their Corps -- the most loyal, most feared, most revered, and most professional fighting force the world has ever known.

Over the years the annual Birthday Ball grew and grew, taking on a life of its own. In 1952 the Commandant, Gen. Lemuel C. Shepherd Jr., formalized the cake-cutting ceremony and other traditional observances. For example, Marine Corps policy now mandates that the first piece of cake must be presented to the oldest U.S. Marine present. The second piece goes to the youngest Marine. Among the many such mandates is a solemn reading of the Commandant's birthday message to the Corps.
Like the U.S. Marine Corps itself, the annual Birthday Ball has evolved from simple origins to the polished and professional functions of today. Nonetheless, one thing remains constant, the tenth day of November! This unique holiday for warriors is a day of camaraderie, a day to honor Corps and Country. Throughout the world on 10 November, U.S. Marines celebrate the birth of their Corps -- the most loyal, most feared, most revered, and most professional fighting force the world has ever known.

I like Carly.eom
I am pro-life but far from a single issue voter. That is what makes elections a lot of hard work. I have to decide which party has the overall best to offer to my country. I sometimes have to forgo voting for my favorite because the opposite party seemed better for the nation. This happened to me in President Clintons second term.

A friend posted this interesting fact about BO and his financial advisors. I wonder if that the kind of change his supporters want?
Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.
Franklin Raines
was a Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae's accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ' Raines, who long defended the company's accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn't proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that 'mistakes were made' and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company's books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.'
Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.
Raines left with a 'golden parachute valued at $240 million in benefits. The Government filed suit against R aines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/
The Government noted, 'The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.' These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the misstated Fannie Mae profits.
Tim Howard
Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard 'was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a 'stable pattern of earnings' at Fannie. In everyday English - he was cooking the books.
The Government Investigation determined that, 'Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae.' On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant's income statement to achieve management pay bonuses.
Investigations by federal regulators and the company's board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard's Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson
A former executive at Lehman Brothers, who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you'll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson's 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million. Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.
Johnson's Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
FRANKLIN RAINES -- works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor
TIM HOWARD -- is an Economic Advisor to Obama
JIM JOHNSON -- Senior Obama Finance Advisor and ran Obama's Vice Presidential Search

Look at our congress. In the old days there was mutual respect and decisions were made by compromises made on the floor and out in the open. Now the minority party can't get a word in to modify a bill to make it more fair to all citizens not just their party line constituents. The same happened when the Republicans had the majority.
There are 2 societies in Washington and they don't even have cocktails, lunch, dinner, beers, nada together after hours. There is no sense of duty to the country in total like the pre-Clinton days.
SharonB
That is ridiculous. Your outstanding principals are in your mind only and are not applicable to common, rational.. and serious citizens wanting a better life for all citizens in a fair and respectful manner.
President Bush went to Washington with the idea that he wanted to be a uniter and not a divider. He was beat down by the very elitist folks you want so much. It is a shame that such a good team. Bush/Cheney was stopped by the Washington elitist society and their partisan attitudes.
Until this disharmoney between the two societies is curtailed
this will be a festering sore and just get worse with each election.
SharonB
That is why we have elections. I disagree with the author and only point to the facts that when we have reduced taxes, had government step aside, and let entrepreneurs and venture capitalists legally operate, we did very well as a nation.
Proper oversight would have prevented many excesses and the streching of legal principals and moral ethics.
SharonB
I suspect most are elitist liberals who have their own distorted sense of values when compared with the middle of America, straight talking, joe six-pack, hard working folks.
This is why you see so much fuss about Palin and her style of speaking.
SharonB
Not funny at all. I live in California. We have a Prop 11 coming up this election to change the gerrymandering that has kept the minority party out of politics and is partly responsible for this fiasco. 7 Billion dollar loan just to cover police, hospital and some other necessary employees salaries.
Pathetic.

Are you concerned that there may be an extremely liberal Congress headed by Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid with a President who has voted 94% of the time with the liberal agenda? A Senator rated the most Liberal Senator using voting records as a basis and a VP who is rated third most liberal. I think this is very dangerous at this time as our current financial status is in such jeopardy and a large government which the Democratic Party has always seemed to favor with raising taxes on the very people and companies that are our way out of this mess. We are currently the second highest corporate taxing country in the listing of major world economies. Japan has the top spot.

High Corporate Taxes Undermine U.S. Global Competitiveness
by Ambassador Terry Miller and Anthony B. Kim
In the meantime, the U.S.'s top federal corporate tax rate has not been cut in over a decade. In fact, the last time the U.S. adjusted its top federal corporate tax rate, in 1993, it actually increased the rate from 34 percent to 35 percent. Our economy now has, on average, a statutory corporate tax rate of 39 percent (including state corporate tax rates, which range from 0 percent in Washington to 12 percent in Iowa). This average rate is higher than the rates of all 27 members of the EU.
With such high rates, the U.S. can no longer afford to remain inactive. In a business environment where capital flows are extremely mobile, lower tax rates do matter in attracting more business investment. With the nation's economy slowing, the need to attract and inspire more business investment has never been stronger. It is such private investment, not government handouts or fiscal stimulus packages, that will get the economy moving again. As President Reagan reminded us, "government must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it."

20 Reasons to Kill Corporate Taxes
August 22, 2008 03:02 PM ET | James Pethokoukis
What to do about corporate tax rates represents a key difference between Obamanomics and McCainomics. John McCain wants to cut them. Barack Obama wants to raise them, at least on oil companies, through a windfall profits tax. But maybe they're both wrong. Maybe we should just get rid of these levies altogether. Here are 20 reasons why it's time to sack the corporate income tax:
1) The United States has the second-highest corporate tax rate in the world, just shy of 40 percent when you combine state and federal taxes.

Saturday 10/04/2008 Status = SOS. Sending another e-mail to Ali Farooq. ZZZZzzzz
Web site still under construction.
No volume since Sept 10,2008. 142 shares to close down $1.00.
No response from Ali Farooq our Investor relations rep.
Will try once again to contact Mr. Farooq with the following request for information.
Dear Ali Farooq: Date October 4, 2008
I am moderator of the GALH message board on Investoreshub and this can be verified at the following link:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/post_new.asp?board_id=3810
At this link you will see copy of this e-mail with edited personal information.
I have been requested and personally desire to make another attempt to establish contact with you. As a fellow investor, albeit a very minor one and a senior citizen, couldn’t you put out an update as to the current status of GALH operations?
As the public Investor Relations representative for Green America Land Holdings, Inc. you, most likely have in your job description a responsibility to provide information to current and prospective shareholders. As such, a progress report would be appreciated by both this current shareholder and future investors.
The current bid price is .25 cents a share. I was told by CEO Mr. Krueger that price appreciation is not a priority at this time and future growth is where the concentration of efforts will be made. How are these efforts proceeding? It is now 4 months later since that conversation. For instance, do we still have an interest in the Days Inn Property in New Orleans? What is the current status of this project?
Has the domestic limited partnership (a “Fund Partnership”) and warrants been established?
What is the current status with the acquired 160 acres in Duchesne, Utah? The intention is to develop the land parcel into a mixed-use commercial center.
Are there any new projects that can be announced?
What is the general health, financial and managerial, status of Green America Land Holdings Inc.? Have there been any changes since the last report made at this link:
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=galh on May 2, 2008.
Can you reply or refer me to another source for a response to these questions?
Sincerely,
Sharon Bxxxxxx (Current investor and message board moderator)

Dear Mr. Blair Krueger, Date: September 11, 2008
As moderator of the GALH message board on Raging Bull I have been requested to make another attempt to establish contact with you. As a fellow investor, albeit a very minor one and a senior citizen, couldn’t you put out an update as to the current status of GALH operations? I realize you are, as the most senior member of management, unable to reply directly with anything even slightly resembling inside knowledge. You do have the authority to make a public announcement in the form of a press release and most certainly establish a new or operational Investor Relations position to help assuage the anxieties of your investors.
Today on CNBC-TV I heard a brief statement by some financial advisor that because of the current financial environment this represents what may be a once in a lifetime opportunity for wealthy foreign investors to acquire valuable properties here in the US at very reasonable prices. There was a suggestion that immigration visas be given to such investors who acquire depressed properties. This sounds to me to be the GALH game plan (EB-5) and as such we will get even more competition.
The current bid price is .25 cents a share. I remember you told me that price appreciation is not a priority and future growth is where the concentration of efforts will be made. How are these efforts proceeding? For instance, do we still have an interest in the Days Inn Property in New Orleans? Has the domestic limited partnership (a “Fund Partnership”) and warrants been established? How about the acquired 160 acres in Duchesne, Utah, which you intend to develop into a mixed-use commercial center?
Can you reply or refer me to another source for a response?
Sincerely,

Friday-SOS Samo=samo or save our ship. This is really dead money without any form of a concern for the former long shareholders. Totally sucks, IMO. Can't even get out without incurring a big loss. I hope the longs, if there are still any, get some big capitol gains that these tax losses will help their bottom line.
I sent Blair Krueger, CEO, President, Chairman, an e-mail about the situation and received silence.
We don't even have an investor relations position to contact.
