ACK! Measure 28 didn't pass. What is in store for our future? There are threats of the disabled getting kicked out of their homes, getting less money, ect. I am already suffering from it. And I don't even have my degree yet
I have been literaly in TEARS alll day. It was good to cry.....but it hurts so bad. My benifits are being cut, on top of charging extra money for perscriptions. I cried to my mom when I got out of Safeway "WHY CAN'T THEY TAKE MONEY FROM THE RICH? WHY DO THEY TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO ALREADY BARELY CAN SURVIVE? WHY IS THIS WORLD SO GREEDY?" I am NOT a money or material item person. Not at all. I don't care about the latest fashion, the newest shoes, I don't even watch tv, I don't buy CD's by the newest hot pop artist, I don't buy petty teen/fashion magazines, I budget my food spending(I rarely buy junkfood), I don't spend 20 dollars on a tube of eyeliner, I don't shop at convenience stores, i don't smoke therefore I don't buy ciggerettes, my car is a 1981volvo my dad built for me, FUCK 2003 BMWS OR FERRARIS....WHY DO YOU NEED A CAR TO SHOW OFF WHEN A CAR WAS MEANT FOR GOING TO AND FRO PLACES?, I tolerate dial up internet, I don't buy the newest peice of furniture that is on the market, I don't buy useless decorative items.....ect, ect, ect...... I was fine on the small amount I did have, until the current budget crisis. I had just enough money for rent, bills, gas.....but now i can't even afford hand soap for my bathroom. I don't need the fancy hand soap. I go to win-co and compare prices by the ounce and get the cheapest one for the value. I am most worried about my future. My son is growing up, how will I afford his clothes? How will I afford his allowence, things he needs? I am majoring in psychology right now(unfourtunatly I can only take 3 classes a term because of my full time parenting schedule)......SO someday soon I will get a job. But there is the communication thing. I have such trouble talking to people. How can I be a counsuler when I am so shy? WHY DOES MONEY RUN THIS WORLD? argggggg!

The world we live in is such a crazy place. It breaks my heart to know that the State of Oregon, and the citizens that voted against Measure 28 can be so selfish when people need the aid in desperate times.....they vote down a tax increase, but yet, they complain about why they are having to close schools, cut back on assisted living, and essentials for people to not only have a life, but to SURVIVE......

Me being a long time forest/human rights/and electronion freedom activist, I understand all to well your frustrations but the world needs people like me and you to push things suchs as measure 28 and push against things like the DMCA. Without us the rich white men like bush would be getting away with more then they do already.
