Health Care

I read an article this morning that made me shake my head that,  “Contra Costa County” is allowing funds to be used for undocumented adults to have free health care. But they can’t find the money to have decent fire protection for East Contra Costa County.

This makes me wonder about our Supervisors and elected officialsThere are people in Contra Costa County who cannot afford the high health care prices for their family, who work for minimum wage that the county offers to support a wife and kids but be an illegal undocumented adult, and we will give you free health care. What’s next, free housing? Free cars? 

Where do we draw the line and say enough is enough?

 Has this gone too far where they are more important than the citizens that have a right to live here, who pay taxes, and are part of their community.

 It needs to stop. Let’s take care of our own citizens first and make sure the counties have adequate fire, and first responders protection; take care of our homeless, our poor, our sick and mentally ill citizens. Then IF there is any money left over, we can help the rest.

East Contra Costa County is suffering with “LACK” of fire protection as they have closed two major fire stations and that leaves East Contra Costa in a potential crisis

IF we should have a major emergency that requires all fire stations attention, or have all stations tied up on different calls, we have to depend on other resources to help cover calls.

We are told they closed the stations due to lack of funding. How can there be no funding to keep our fire stations open, but funding to allow health care to undocumented adults? Is this fair? I think not. What do you think?

I think we need to do something to let our elected officials know how we feel.  Let's start a petition and let our voices be heard in a peaceful protest. This has to stop now before it gets out of hand. We can’t sit and do nothing, and hope it goes away, because it won't. We need to elect officials who care about their citizens in this amazing county, and who are willing to do something to improve what is now a disaster in progress.

A little poem to our dear mayor

Mr. Mayor you say crime is down. You must think we are a bunch of clowns Why is there is crime tape all around?

How come there are shootouts in the streets? Is this a place where people grieve?

They see a yellow tarp on the ground, covering someone that was shot down.

 Families are being torn apart. Do you REALLY think this is smart?

 When are these shootings going to stop, and we hear silence instead of gun pops?

While you’re in your office safe and sound, you can’t hear the cries of this town. And see the dead bodies on the ground? You need to take a look around.

You ask the people how they feel, and then throw a temper tantrum when OUR plan is revealed; like a child who is throwing a fit on the ground.

We did not get enough signatures this time, but we are not ready to give up or cross the line. We need you out ASAP, so we can finally get some sleep.

We need to take our great town back, and not listen to any useless flack. Heck we’ll help you pack.

Letter to the Mayor

Mr. Mayor,

 

First off I would like to know “ ARE YOU NUTS??” How can you say violent crime is down when there are people shooting all around?

If you think crime is down, then you must be a clown, because violent crime in our fair city Dear Sir is “NOT DOWN”!!!

 

Ask any person whose house has been invaded, or a parent who has lost a child because of shooting or street racing. Ask our Police Officers as they run from one shooting to another in one evening to gangs, or a firefighter that has to perform CPR on a child that was playing in front of his house that was caught in the crossfire of a gang shooting, as the parents watch their child die Or ask any citizen who has had a knife or gun placed near them for something as simple as having a cell phone. These people will not say crime is down, violent or non-violent; crime in Antioch is here to stay as long as you are in office.

NO we did not win the signatures that we set out to get. But we will win this battle, you just watch us. You state that you have a group of followers - I don’t think so. If you would take a poll to see how you are fairing, you would be shocked to see how many people you actually have following you, and how many want you out of office.

 

We will win this fight, get you out of office and take back Antioch once and for all.!!!!!!!

 

You will be running with your tail between your legs, and not looking back.

We have had enough, and will not stand for anymore.

We all love this city and with you in office hiding under your desk and not leading up to your lies that we all believed when you first took office, we have no choice but to throw you out like the trash you are. We will elect someone who will clean up the mess that you made, and turn this city into the gem that it once was before you took office.

 

 

Yes MR. Mayor your time in office is short, and you should find a city that does not know you and move there. “Because the citizens of this great city are taking over, and we will not stop until you are gone”

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 Concerned Antioch Citizens

Free speech mean to you?

 

What does Free Speech mean to you?

According to the First Amendment written in 1791,it guarantees freedoms concerning Religion, Expression, Assembly, and the Right to Petition.

It also states; that it guarantees Freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. NOWHERE in this Amendment did I read, you don’t have a right to be heard or be heard.

I read an article that a local parent that had her first Amendment taken away and was not able to voice her concerns to the local city counsel. She was shut down after three min of speaking and was told to leave. As I was watching this video, I noticed a light that was turning different colors as a timer to those who are speaking to the counsel. I found this strange and begin to wonder how many other people’s voices have been shut down when this light goes from go to stop.

This parent was simply trying to have the city pay for speed bumps down her street, as her son was killed by a young man who decided to do a side show, hit her son, and dragging him under the car. Her son died from the wounds.

IS this really too much to ask for? I think not, but since the parent was shut down, the family has installed speed bumps them selves to slow down traffic, and prevent this from occurring again having another family lose a family member do to senseless people doing sideshows.  Which the city will take down as soon as they realize what the family has done, strange the city can pay someone to take them down, but not put them up.

Why do we need a city counsel when we have to take matters into our own hands? Isn’t their elected duty to support the citizens of their city?  How many people have to die before something is done to stop all of this? I know our local police department is stretched thin, and cannot respond to every call. But when is it ENOUGH? When do we say, “IVE had enough, and do something about all of this? When do we put our foot down and say “NO MORE” my time is not over stand our ground and let our voices be heard?

Weather in a peaceful protest or a city meeting, we can no longer sit back and do nothing, this city is being run by people who just don’t care, and we need to take action to take it back.

Fires

I read an article the other day that stated congress could not stay; they needed to pass a bill that would help our fires up on the hill. Every time I turn around, another station is closing down. We really need to this turned around. They say California’s going broke, come on is this an joke? What will happen if your house is on fire lets say, and the only station is 5 miles away? This could really ruin your day. California is burning down, so many fires all around. All the parks are up in flames this is no guessing game. We need Congress to return back, so our fire fighters can start the attack. When Congress left for vacation till the fall, they really did drop the ball. They gave the Bill to our president with out signing off a single cent. Obma has enough to do, then cleaning up r mess two. It does not matter what the budget, these are peoples live not a subject. I don’t get the big delay; we could really use some more rain that would help the fires out, Shoot that would save a lot of loot. We need some one to pass the bill, and not left standing on this hill.  As we start looking down, we notice our town is burning down. No help is available because they are on vacation shoot they closed another station. How bout this, when you get back, we all start our own kind of attack.  We will take away your bonus pay, and keep it for a rainy day.  Wait as I recall, California does not have any rain at all. I need you to just look back, help us with this fire attack. You say you will resume back in the fall, with out a worry at all. I have a question; fall is in September, that’s a month away or do you not remember? if we wait that long, we will have nowhere to stay. Because the time you get back, there will be nothing to attack, the entire state will have burned to the ground, with noting left, just look around. Our parks are gone and so are the trees, nothing left but the birds and bees. So you really think you break ok, when all when all you did was run away? You left the burden on all us folk; this is really a great big joke. You ran away with out passing the bill, and left us standing on this hill.  You took our money to start the attack, all we ask is can we have it back? I hate to see these states burn, I don’t know if they ever learn?  Peoples live are at stake, during there summer break. While Congress is shutting, I hope their vacation spot is burning down. Maybe then the will realize what’s at steak  during the vacation break
