Question: Anyone have any recommendations on how I find a VERY good, ethical and innovative class action attorney? I have a very large, extremely winnable potential class action against a major American corporation. I don't want to deal with an attorney looking for a few bucks from me, because this is a legitimate actionable behavior on the corporation's part and I can't afford to mount a suit on my own. I'd need to find a class action attorney who is ethical, brave and competent (the defendent will have corporate resources) and innovative (someone who's stupid won't begin to grasp the technical intricacies of the case, let alone win it). Any reasonable, responsible suggestions?
Answer: This website http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/ is nothing but class action lawsuits. It even has a law firm directory for attorneys that specialize in class action suits.
Good luck!

Question: Is this actionable in regards to my rental agreement? I began living in my apartment in January 2007. At that time, the premises was well-kept, habitable, and full of residents that were respectful and courteous.
I moved in to this building for a number of reasons. The rent was good, utilities were almost completely paid. It was advertised as having secure, intercom access, on-site management, after-hours emergency support, and working laundry facilities, along with free heat.
I live here, happily, for over a year. When my one year lease was up, I decided to continue month to month, as I anticipated moving in with my boyfriend.
In May 2008, without notice to the residence, they fired the on-site manager. I did not find this out until a couple months later, when locked out and could not find anyone to help me get in... It took the management company over an hour to get someone to let me in, and they charged me 50 dollars. Since then, we have lost a number of residents, who were replaced with a ridiculous bunch, that now cause police calls to the building one or more times a month. There is a hotbed apartment now. There are regular acts of vandalism, ranging anywhere from writing on the walls of the elevators, to human feces being left in the hallways in paper bags, and the stairwells are regularly trashed by "parties".
The front doors are glass, and have been broken before, to let people in. Windows in the lobby were dismantled to let people in. Now, the "secure access" front doors are regularly left unlocked by careless residents, so people can get in.
The management company still advertises as having onsite management and secure access, despite not having a building manager for over 6 months, and my repeated calls to report compromising of the security of the building.
It's to the point where I finally flat out offered to take on temporary building manager status. I want to move, but I don't have the money, but I know something needs to be done. There are elderly people living here, along with young women, and rising crime rates in the area have me fearful of the safety of the residents.
The building management company keeps saying they will call me about it, to discuss the temp arrangement. They use the "we aren't getting any responses from our ad" as an excuse to do nothing to ensure the safety of the residents. Even though in situations, such as an idiot setting off our fire alarm, I have taken the responsibility of handling the situation on, they still have yet to come through with their "promise" to instill authority, so that I can address the rising number of incidents. They mostly just say, call the cops.
I'm tired, and I'm wondering if there's any actionable standpoint I have to cause forced action from the company. I believe my original lease states that there is a secure entry, and I agreed to respect that fact, so why aren't they? Do I have any ground to stand on since I'm still on a month to month?
I can't find any renter's rights documentation that address security issues like this specifically. Any help or advice I can get would be most appreciated.
I am not saying that they are responsible for local crime rates. What I am saying is that they are misrepresenting the property by saying it is secure, when it is not, and by saying there is on-site management, when there is not. I'm saying my concern is escalated due to the fact that crime is going up a bit. Meaning, there are people that are moving in, thinking we have secure access, but we don't despite having the capacity for it, because the company is not putting anyone on site to enforce the regulations. I know that if they had someone on site, people would have been evicted by now.
I don't think it's an unrealistic expectation for the company to uphold their side of the advertising and the rental agreements they have already put in place.
I am in Omaha, NE.
Answer: Anything on your lease is actionable. However, the "action" for the security violations is to allow you to move. You are month to month anyway, so taking action will not get you much.
Question: What lie does America have to tell to "legitimize" the invasion of Iran? So far the lie that Iran threatened to "wipe Israel off the map" has not worked well enough.
The lie about the "attempt to construct nuclear weapons" is powerful but it's been used before in Iraq which seems to have taken away some it's shine.
The lie that Iran is a violent nation helps but without any real evidence of hostile action from the accused the US cannot make it's invasion plan actionable.
What lie / false flag operation does America need to commit to get international and domestic support to invade Iran?
Answer: Unless Iran invades a neighbor, the international community will not assist in this.
Question: What would you do if you knew where Bin Laden was? If we had actionable intelligence about the location of Osama Bin Laden do you think we should ask Pakistan's permission to take action, tell them and see if they do anything, or do you think we should just launch every cruise missile we have in his vicinity, and deal with the consequences later?
Killing Bin Laden might not destroy al Qaeda, but I think Americans would like to see it happen. We still have not had justice done for 9-11. I think destroying the leadership would be better than letting them run free.
Oh, and let me know if you think it would be a good idea to capture him alive, let the CIA interrogate the living hell out of him, and then drop him off in downtown New York and see what happens.
Answer: I would go spend every peny I have on obtaining an illegal russian aircraft. Fly into pakistani airspace i meen common we all know he is there. then drop a carpet bomb all over the place like im laying your mother flat out on your daddys bed. Also i would go to pilot school.
Question: Are the following published watchtower statements fact or opinion? And actionable? Are the following published watchtower statements fact or opinion?
For the benefit of non witnesses who do not have a copy/acsess to the Watchtower publication online, in print, or on CD, as do jws who should be able to VERIFY....AS IF....Please see reference below
w 85 7/15 Questions From Readers ***
THOSE WHO DISASSOCIATE
But what about those who John said “went out from us”? .... did they act similarly toward someone who was NOT EXPELLED but who willfully renounced the Christian way?
WATCHTOWER IN THE ABOVE STATEMENT EQUATE LEAVING THEIR ORGANIZATION WITH LEAVING CHRISITIANITY!
ABANDOMENT OF MORAL STANDARDS (2 Pet. 2:15-22), the heeding of the ‘counterfeit words’ of false teachers and ‘misleading inspired utterances’
( . . . 1 Tim. 4:1-3) . . . Such ones willfully abandoning the Christian congregation thereby become part of the ‘ANTICHRIST.’
LIBEL DEFINITION
.....Libel is the publication - in words...... of false statements of fact that harm another's reputation. (Libel is a form of defamation......... However, if a statement is true, it cannot be the basis of a successful libel claim.
There are four elements a person must establish in order to prove he or she has been defamed:
I. Publication
* A statement is "published" if it is communicated to someone other than the person whom the statement is about.
* Publication can take many forms and does not simply mean that the statement has been printed in a newspaper or other document. For example, a defamatory statement's presence on a computer screen in the newsroom where it is read by other students could constitute publication.
II. Identification
A statement "identifies" a person if it is shown that it is "of and concerning" that person.
III. Harm
A statement is harmful if it seriously shames, ridicules, disgraces or injures a person's reputation or causes others to do so. Statements that are mildly embarrassing or merely confusing or inacurate will not meet the "harm" test.
Would the discription used by watchtower, of persons canceling membership with the org as SUBMORAL, ANTICHRIST, be considered a fact or an opinion IN COURT since this is published as a fact AND ENFORCED WITH PUNITIVE ACTION IN THEIR COMMUNITY regarding individuals WHO LEAVE WITHOUT COMMITTING ANY CHURCH VIOLATION?
IS THIS UNETHICAL? AND ACTIONABLE?
Also could you please include in your comments the answer to Are WATCHTOWER STATEMENTS LABELING anyone canceling membership, AS SUBMORAL, AND ANTICHRIST JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT TO LEAVE THE WT, IS THIS LIBELOUS?
Answer: As far as a public announcement even in a group such as the Watchtower Kingdom Hall.
It may be considered slander if it can be shown that such a public statement was made.
Look into "theocratic warfare" to see if the people that follow the Watchtower would make a statement/testify accurately.
From 1976 for about a decade or so many Jehovah's Witness's left over the much published "Stay Alive till '75" end of the 6000 years and Armageddon is around the corner teaching. Many Christians see this the same as the scary hell-fire doctrine of some groups.
People were still leaving and to stop the bleeding out the WT came out strongly that people that left were following the antiChrist and under the influence of demons. The idea was and is for JWs to not have any contact with them because it may turn them away from the WT.
So the WT article you gave dated in 1985 follows this reason for such a statement.
Question: Where is the line between authentic religious belief and societally actionable sociopathic insanity? At what point on the belief spectrum do we send A back to his mosque and B to an insane asylum? Is it talking about violent acts of treason? Is it organizing the resources and knowledge need to commit an act of mass murder? Is it developing a team of trained killers? Is it developing a plan for trained killers to follow? Is it combining the team and the plan and the equipment? Somewhere along this spectrum a person stops being a individual exercising their rights to Freedom of religion and becomes a certifiable criminal lunatic -- but where? Does the legitimate practice of Jihad include talking about the vulnerabilities of ones perceived enemies? How about organizing to take advantage of those vulnerabilities? How about making a specific plan, and assigning specialists to roles within that plan? How about getting the equipment? How about going out into public places with the equipment ready for action? Does society have any rights to protect itself from persons claiming to be exercising their religious rights? If so, when does society's right become actionable? When can sociopaths be taken off the streets and locked up? Is it only after the big BOOM!
Answer: oh, wow you sound smart, kind of hard to understand,
but if I'm getting what your saying, it's the point where what your doing effects another person, if it only effects you and possibly other people willing, it's ok, but if it effects an unwilling person, it has crossed the line, your as free as you want as long as you do not effect another person, the second your choices, or "religion" effects another person it has crossed the line.
The insane asylme, thing I don't get ethier, I think it should be counted as regular murder, even an insane person knows what there doing, anyways I believe the classificications on insane people are kind of vauge anyone can fit under the insane label if they want to.
oh and your right is after the big "BOOM", :P
uh if I'm really off topic, just disregard anything I said k? :)
Question: British Airways (BA) new seat charging policy, collective action needed? As you may/may not be aware British Airways (BA) are launching a charging option ((£10-£60 or $15-$90, depending on your flight class/destination) for seat reservations in order to 'give you more control over your choice of seats' as they say on their website. Customers who are Gold/Silver Executive Club members, travelling in 1st class, have a fully flexible ticket or have special needs/infants are eligible for free advance seat choice.
The above charges are applicable for flights bought before/after 7 October 2009. Seats can be paid for at the time of booking, on/after 7 October if you have already booked a flight before that date or 10-4 days in advance of departure if you want an exit row seat (£50 or $75). However, if you wait until check-in, i.e. 24 hours departure, you can get a seat for free as is normally the case with BA (first come first served regards seat location).
I would like to know who will join in and wait until 24 hours before their flight and thus, through collective action, get the seats for free? Doing this could result in a change of policy by BA and thus stop it going down the money grabbing route of the so called 'low cost' airlines. With the latter you have no choice, not even to sit for free outside the plane:)
Anyone know how to organise a campaign online to spread the word and thus inform others that waiting to choose your seat is the best financial option for everyone?
I look forward to reading your replies and actionable ideas.
Answer: I got my own pilot lic and now just fly my self. No more TSA, no more fee's for this and that, no more showing up 90 minutes early, not more crying brats, no more stinking people.
Question: What is the difference between libel and slander? Can you please give me some examples of the two? I have learned that libel is actionable per se, and thus no loss or damage needs to be alleged or proved. Other torts like slander are not actionable per se, so a plaintiff will only succeed in his actions if he can prove that he has suffered damage. I am not a native English speaker, and unfortunately libel and slander tarnslate to the same word. Can someone please explain the difference with some examples?
Answer: Yahoo! says you're asking this question from Australia. In Australia, the legal distinction between libel and slander was abolished a few years ago by the uniform defamation legislation in all states. All defamation is now dealt with the same way in Australia, regardless of the whether the defamatory material is written or spoken. So all defamation is now actionable per se.
Back when there was a recognised difference between them, libel referred to defamation in a recorded format. That includes writing, but also things like television broadcasts. The difference is one of permanency. Slander, on the other hand, referred to defamation that was not recorded, in writing or otherwise.
Question: 'to one who is willing , no (actionable ) harm can be done'.? consider the extent to which this is a defence to actions based in the law of tort.
Answer: This is akin to the term "coming to the nuisance" in which you can't sue someone when you knowingly put yourself in the place of potential harm. For example, you can't sue someone for excessive pollution if you knew the pollutants were being emitted and you moved in next door anyway. Or, on a more basic level, you can't sue someone for getting injured on their property if you knew there were hazards and you went on the property anyway. This is why construction sites are covered with signs and have fences and other safety precautions. Not only does it prevent injuries, but if someone goes under the fence and falls in a hole, the construction company will not be liable.
Question: What are some ways employers can prevent actionable claims of retaliation in the work place? I am looking for ideas on how employee handbooks or policies can be revised or if there are some things employers can do to prevent actionable claims of retaliation when a complaint for discrmination or harassment is filed. The recent supreme court decision in Burlington Northern v. White broadened actionable claims of retalition to acts which cna occur outside or inside thwe workplace and that would pose as "materially adverse" (an action which would deter a 'reasonable employee from filing or participating in a claim) to a "reasonable employee." Becuase this is broad and ambiguous it runs the risk of greatly increasing employer liability. So how can this liability be reduced by preventing claims?
Answer: Depending on if you are a service profession or a product profession, we are beginning to have all of our new employees sign contracts stating that they will not take any information discovered during the course of work for use for their own personal gain subject to the severest of penalties. All information gained during employment belongs to the company. Having them sign some form of contract should deter any such action simply for retaliation.
Question: Civil libertarians did u c ruling that spying on Americans through the internet is not actionable because? it is too generalized, because nearly everyone has a telephone and internet connection per a San Francisco judge?
" Court Rules That Mass Surveillance of Americans is Immune From Judicial Review
San Francisco - A federal judge has dismissed Jewel v. NSA, a case from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on behalf of AT&T customers challenging the National Security Agency's mass surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls and emails.
"We're deeply disappointed in the judge's ruling," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "This ruling robs innocent telecom customers of their privacy rights without due process of law. Setting limits on Executive power is one of the most important elements of America's system of government, and judicial oversight is a critical part of that."
In the ruling, issued late Thursday, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker held that the privacy harm to millions of Americans from the illegal spying dragnet was not a "particularized injury" but instead a "generalized grievance" because almost everyone in the United States has a phone and Internet service.
"The alarming upshot of the court's decision is that so long as the government spies on all Americans, the courts have no power to review or halt such mass surveillance even when it is flatly illegal and unconstitutional," said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "With new revelations of illegal spying being reported practically every other week -- just this week, we learned that the FBI has been unlawfully obtaining Americans' phone records using Post-It notes rather than proper legal process -- the need for judicial oversight when it comes to government surveillance has never been clearer."
Jewel v. NSA is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it. Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by former AT&T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&T has routed copies of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA. That same evidence is central to Hepting v. AT&T, a class-action lawsuit that's currently under appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. "
What do you think of this case?
SilverPhoenix, I'd rather enforce the one we have. Particularly given the clowns we know would be the ones to write a new one.
Answer: Its bull crap. They love to watch us but when the camera is turned on them they dont like it. They negotiate behind closed doors and operate in secret all the while watching and listening to us. Its crap.
Question: Is there a step by step action plan to overcome anxiety and panic attacks? Hello everybody,
I'm new here and I want to make clear that I don't suffer from anxiety, but my girlfriend is...and I just want to do my best to help her out and do whatever I can do.
I've been reading a couple of books I found on amazon, but none of them mentioned if there's any step by step process and since I'm analytical guy I was thinking if there's any at all.
Let me explain what I mean...
If for example our end-goal here is to get our life back and enjoy life we did before anxiety struck (I'm just paraphrasing what I learned from my girlfriend) what would be Step 1 in this whole process?
Should we change our diet? Start changing our mindset? Start journaling and recording our thoughts?
In other words if your goal is to lose 30 pounds you should do it step by step. You can't do that overnight, you must break this process into small actionable steps.
For me, step one was to find time for exercise.
Step 2: Start jogging
Step 3: Minimize carbs intake
etc. etc.
Step 21: Enjoy your new lean body and radiant health
You see what I mean? When you do that, it's so much easier to achieve your goals.
So is there any actionable steps to eliminate anxiety and panic attacks?
Sorry for rambling on for so long, but this is something that I really want to find out so I can do whatever I can to help my girlfriend...
Answer: i have an anxiety disorder, and have done since i 15, i am now 21.
I went to see two psychologists, although i wasnt told anything different from what i knew myself. I study psychology and they were telling me things i already knew.
I also refused meds. I was given diazepam but i found it made me even more depressed.
From personal experience (I was anxious about everything, health, croweded rooms, lots of people), a change of mindset is the obvious answer.
Something you should look in to is Cognitive Behavioural Techniques. This is very helpful with anxiety and is a therapy which helps change your mindset of the things which are making you anxious.
It is not a quick fix though. It takes time and a lot of patience, but it does help so much. Especially depending on the seriousness of her anxiety.
Light exercise is a good way to get rid of some extra adrenaline built up from anxiety and panic. introducing heavy exercise can exhaust her even more and make it harded to deal with anxiety in the end.
She will need to learn some relaxation techniques too. People can hyperventilate without knowing, and this causes anxiety symptoms. Get her to pay attention to her breathing. If she is hyperventilating, she will be getting too much oxygen which isnt dangerous, its just causes the panic symptoms, to alleviate the symptoms tell her to cup her hand over her mouth and tell her to breathe deeply and slowly.
If your girlfriend has a reason or cause behind her anxiety, she will need to work through it before she can move on and have the strength to confront her anxiety.
i cant give you an action plan because everyone is different. Everyone responds differently to various therapies.
My main tips would be to let her get the bottom of her anxiety, ie what is causing it, if anything. 2. do some research in to Cognitive Behavioural techniques and discuss it with your girlfriend. She may need your support with this. 3. Get her to introduce some light exercise in to her lifestyle, even if just walking a little more.
some people just get scared of anxiety and panic symptoms themselves, which can stem from stress, but can become routine and form a disorder.
I always have a full list of anxiety symptoms so i can remind myself that is the reason im feeling the way i am... not because i have an illness or im having a heart attack, as it sometimes seems like!
here is a full list of the symptoms if this would benefit her at all... it might not, everyones different, but just incase.

all the best and i hope your girlfriend eventually finds peace.
Question: What is faith? What is blind faith? Are they different? Faith is not about turning off the brain and merely relying on the heart, or squashing reason in favor of emotion. No, Christian faith is about seeking and knowing Jesus with all facets of the human character. It's not a "blind faith" as I once thought... It's a "calculated faith" based on a preponderance of the evidence. Well, I've collected the evidence, and I've put it on trial... After a number of months in the jury room, I have returned with my personal verdict... Jesus Christ is who he claims to be... the Son of God who came to this earth about 2,000 years ago to offer true and lasting hope for mankind.
OK, now what...? I intellectually believe, by a preponderance of the evidence, that God exists, that the Bible is true, and that Jesus is his Son... How does this affect me? What is faith, as far as it concerns me?
I love the metaphor of a chair... Find the chair closest to you. Look at it closely. Examine its design. Is it structurally sound? Is it sufficiently engineered? Will the materials chosen by the manufacturer support your weight?
Most likely, you picked a chair that you believe will support you. That's belief. You applied logic, knowledge and experience to make an informed intellectual decision.
Now sit in the chair... That's faith! At one point, intellectual assent only goes so far. True living requires that we put our beliefs into action. Intellectual belief without actionable faith is hollow and meaningless...
Answer: "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld." (Hebrews 11:1)
"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ”.
(John 17:3)
"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
Faith goes hand in hand with the knowledge about the TRUTH. I say I found the truth that the bible talks about by gaining knowledge in learning the bible itself and thats how my faith about God and Jesus was built.
Question: In bureaucracies, does "Tortious interference" occur a lot.? (from Wikipedia : Tortious interference)
Tortious interference, in the common law of tort, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract).
Tortious interference with contract rights can occur where the tortfeasor convinces a party to breach the contract against the plaintiff, or where the tortfeasor disrupts the ability of one party to perform his obligations under the contract, thereby preventing the plaintiff from receiving the performance promised. The hardcore instance of this tort occurs when one party induces another party to breach a contract with a third party, in circumstances where the first party has no privilege to act as it does and acts with knowledge of the existence of the contract. Such conduct is termed tortious inducement of breach of contract.
Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships. This tort may occur when a first party's conduct intentionally causes a second party not to enter into a business relationship with a third party that otherwise would probably have occurred. Such conduct is termed tortious interference with prospective business relations, expectations, or advantage or with prospective economic advantage.
An early, perhaps the earliest, instance of recognition of this tort occurred in Garret v. Taylor, 79 Eng. Rep. 485 (K.B. 1620). In that case, the defendant drove customers away from the plaintiff’s quarry by threatening them with mayhem and also threatening to “vex [them] with suits.” The King's Bench court said that “the defendant threatened violence to the extent of committing an assault upon ... customers of the plaintiff ... whereupon ‘they all desisted from buying.’’ The court therefore upheld a judgment for the plaintiff.
In a similar case, Tarleton v. McGawley, 170 Eng. Rep. 153 (K.B. 1793), the defendant shot from its ship Othello off the coast of Africa upon natives while “contriving and maliciously intending to hinder and deter the natives from trading with” plaintiff’s rival trading ship Bannister. This action caused the natives (plaintiff’s prospective customers) to flee the scene, depriving the plaintiff of their potential business. The King's Bench court held the conduct actionable. The defendant claimed, by way of justification, that the local native ruler had given it an exclusive franchise to trade with his subjects, but the court rejected this defense.
The tort was described in the case of Keeble v. Hickeringill, (1707) 103 Eng. Rep. 1127, styled as a "trespass on the case". In that case, the defendant had used a shotgun to drive ducks away from a pond that the plaintiff had built for the purpose of capturing ducks. Thus, unlike the foregoing cases, here the actionable conduct was not directly driving the prospective customers away, but rather eliminating the subject matter of the prospective business. Although the ducks had not yet been captured, the Justice Holt wrote for the court that "where a violent or malicious act is done to a man's occupation, profession, or way of getting a livelihood, there an action lies in all cases." The court noted that the defendant would have the right to draw away ducks to a pond of his own, raising as a comparison a 1410 case in which the court deemed that no cause of action would lie where a schoolmaster opened a new school that drew students away from an old school.
Typical examples
Tortious interference of business.- When false claims and accusations are made against a business or an individual's reputation in order to drive business away.
Tortious interference of contract.- When an individual uses "tort" (a wrongful act) to come in between two parties mutual contract.
Elements
Although the specific elements required to prove a claim of tortious interference vary from one jurisdiction to another, they typically include the following:
The existence of a contractual relationship or beneficial business relationship between two parties.
Knowledge of that relationship by a third party.
Intent of the third party to induce a party to the relationship to breach the relationship.
Lack of any privilege on the part of the third party to induce such a breach.
Damage to the party against whom the breach occurs.
The first element may, in employment at will jurisdictions, be held fulfilled in regards to a previously unterminated employer/employee relationship.
Answer: There are ample opportunities for this to occur, especially with all the lawyers we have these days.
Question: Why does Bush talk out of both sides of his mouth? he says he would take out Al Queda leaders in Pakistan if he had "actionable intelligence". But when he and his cronies knew that Bin Ladin and other Al Queda leaders were meeting in Pakistan they did nothing. When asked about why they did not take action, Rove responded that the administration "had concerns about invading a sovereign nation"...which is it?
Answer: He also talks out of his butt!
Question: When selecting a canidate...? are people really researching all the informaton.. I've seen many people make claims about how their canidate will do this and that? but have you actually verified this and do you have the facts?
For example, Barack Obama..has made it fairly obvious he is opposed to the war in Iraq, but what about entering a war with Pakistan and Iran now, immigration, the economy, why did he reauthorize the Patriot Act?
-Military action in Pakistan if we have actionable intel. (Aug 2007)
-FactCheck: Yes, Obama said invade Pakistan to get al Qaeda. (Aug 2007)
-Extend welfare and Medicaid to immigrants. (Jul 1998)
-Voted NO on declaring English as the official language of the US government. (Jun 2007)
-Voted YES on establishing a Guest Worker program. (May 2006)
-Voted YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006)
-Register women for draft, but not for combat. (Jul 2007)
-Voted YES on preserving habeus corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
-Voted YES on on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act. (Mar 2006)-Opposes gay marriage; supports civil union & gay equality. (Oct 2006)
-Supports affirmative action in colleges and government. (Jul 1998)
-Explore nuclear power as part of alternative energy mix. (Jul 2007)
I'm not trying to discredit Barack Obama, I just want to make sure that before voting everyone is clear on where he and the other candidates stand… I find that some not all avid supporters of the mainstream candidates believe their candidate is for something just because they are a democrat or republican, or just because they made a speech mentioning it… You really have to check the candidates track records.. and SEE for yourself what they have and have not voted for…

Answer: I am completely for what your are saying. This is why I don't watch very much TV when the elections come around because it can become so biased. People need to get out of the media and really start doing some research on who they are supporting. Plus, a lot of Americans have no earthly idea what's going on in this country and they need to get off the tube to discover that as well. The majority, I believe, chooses their candidates based on whether they are going to "win" or not.
I'm also seeing a trend between the candidates about nation building and such. All people are concerned about these days are abortion and gay rights, which shouldn't even be a matter handled by the president. That's a state issue.
I know I'm saying too much, but people need to get real and look behind what the candidates are really saying. One thing I really pay attention to when I'm looking for a candidate to support is consistency. Nice question/comment!
Ron Paul 08!
Question: Are you an informed voter? Are people really researching all the information.. I've seen many people make claims about how their candidate will do this and that? but have you actually verified this and do you have the facts?

I'm not trying to discredit any of these candidates; I just want to make sure that before voting everyone is clear on where the candidates stand… I find that some not all avid supporters of the mainstream candidates believe their candidate is for something just because they are a democrat or republican, or just because they made a speech mentioning it… You really have to check the candidate’s track records.. and SEE for yourself what they have and have not voted for…

Answer: in this political climiate no one believes the canidates anymore. They are all corrupt. No one is going to go to the trouble of reading that. It depends on who wrote it.
Listen to the questions on here. If it is wrote by a Republican God is with them and to vote other wise we go to hell.
The democrats say that Republicans are breaking the country and they are corrupt and they are. A bunch of war mongers who hide behind religion.

Answer: Wow, with your credentials, I could see you being very successful in the business that I am in...Freelife International.
This would be perfect for creating leverage as well as residual income. Freelife is an 11 year old, debt free company that is in excellent standing with the Better Business Bureau.
They also have a cutting edge compensation plan unlike any other out there.
I think you should have a look at it and let me know what you think of it, perhaps this is the break you've been looking for.
Question: What was Collins project was about ? Was there tortious interference ? Tortious interference, in the common law of tort, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract).
Tortious interference with contract rights can occur where the tortfeasor convinces a party to breach the contract against the plaintiff, or where the tortfeasor disrupts the ability of one party to perform his obligations under the contract, thereby preventing the plaintiff from receiving the performance promised. The hardcore instance of this tort occurs when one party induces another party to breach a contract with a third party, in circumstances where the first party has no privilege to act as it does and acts with knowledge of the existence of the contract. Such conduct is termed tortious inducement of breach of contract.
Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships. This tort may occur when a first party's conduct intentionally causes a second party not to enter into a business relationship with a third party that otherwise would probably have occurred. Such conduct is termed tortious interference with prospective business relations, expectations, or advantage or with prospective economic advantage.
An early, perhaps the earliest, instance of recognition of this tort occurred in Garret v. Taylor, 79 Eng. Rep. 485 (K.B. 1620). In that case, the defendant drove customers away from the plaintiff’s quarry by threatening them with mayhem and also threatening to “vex [them] with suits.” The King's Bench court said that “the defendant threatened violence to the extent of committing an assault upon ... customers of the plaintiff ... whereupon ‘they all desisted from buying.’’ The court therefore upheld a judgment for the plaintiff.
In a similar case, Tarleton v. McGawley, 170 Eng. Rep. 153 (K.B. 1793), the defendant shot from its ship Othello off the coast of Africa upon natives while “contriving and maliciously intending to hinder and deter the natives from trading with” plaintiff’s rival trading ship Bannister. This action caused the natives (plaintiff’s prospective customers) to flee the scene, depriving the plaintiff of their potential business. The King's Bench court held the conduct actionable. The defendant claimed, by way of justification, that the local native ruler had given it an exclusive franchise to trade with his subjects, but the court rejected this defense.
The tort was described in the case of Keeble v. Hickeringill, (1707) 103 Eng. Rep. 1127, styled as a "trespass on the case". In that case, the defendant had used a shotgun to drive ducks away from a pond that the plaintiff had built for the purpose of capturing ducks. Thus, unlike the foregoing cases, here the actionable conduct was not directly driving the prospective customers away, but rather eliminating the subject matter of the prospective business. Although the ducks had not yet been captured, the Justice Holt wrote for the court that "where a violent or malicious act is done to a man's occupation, profession, or way of getting a livelihood, there an action lies in all cases." The court noted that the defendant would have the right to draw away ducks to a pond of his own, raising as a comparison a 1410 case in which the court deemed that no cause of action would lie where a schoolmaster opened a new school that drew students away from an old school.
Typical examples
Tortious interference of business.- When false claims and accusations are made against a business or an individual's reputation in order to drive business away.
Tortious interference of contract.- When an individual uses "tort" (a wrongful act) to come in between two parties mutual contract.
Elements
Although the specific elements required to prove a claim of tortious interference vary from one jurisdiction to another, they typically include the following:
The existence of a contractual relationship or beneficial business relationship between two parties.
Knowledge of that relationship by a third party.
Intent of the third party to induce a party to the relationship to breach the relationship.
Lack of any privilege on the part of the third party to induce such a breach.
Damage to the party against whom the breach occurs.
The first element may, in employment at will jurisdictions, be held fulfilled in regards to a previously unterminated employer/employee relationship.
