In today’s Fort Worth Paper, Section B, the headline reads as follows: Preventive Healthcare: JPS BOARD OPTS NOT TO VOTE ON ILLEGAL-IMMIGRANT CARE.

The article is continued in (Section B, Page 9) “JPS Members Decided to Create Committee to Study Access to Hospital.

“The decision follows a consultant’s $145,000 study that concluded that it would cost more than $40 million the first year to include Illegal immigrants in JPS Connection, a program for low-income residents. But those who support inclusion estimates the cost at $2 million to $4.2 million.”Board member Tonya Veasey stated “To send this on to a committee to look at is not doing any justice to this issue. We’ve paid a great deal of money to do a study, so I thank as a board we should make a decision.”

Guess which amount it’s going to be??? Not the $2 Million to $4.2 million some of the board members who want the program in to include the illegal immigrants! Guess who’s going to have to pay it?? Not the illegal immigrants!! The good’ol boys and girls who always pay it - the tax payers!! Guess who’s insurance is going to go up?? The taxed out tax payers.

My husband and I are both 59 and we have insurance through his workplace. The company deducts approximately $400 every 2 weeks for our insurance. If we continue to pay for the illegals, no one will be able to pay insurance, not matter how much they make.

We need to write letters to the Editors, Letters to our Congressmen (for all the good that will do), and we need to keep fighting to keep the illegals out. They are called Illegal Immigrants - because they are breaking the law by being here. We need to do something.

The McCanns say Madeleine vanished from a hotel room in southern Portugal's Algarve region, where she and her siblings were sleeping, while her parents ate dinner at a nearby restaurant.

The case took a turn in recent days, after police said new forensic tests done on evidence gathered months after the girl vanished found traces of blood in the couple's car. The traces of blood, apparently missed in earlier forensic tests, were uncovered by sniffer dogs brought from Britain

As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine leaving a 4-year-old child and 2-year-old twins in a room alone.    If they wanted to eat dinner alone, why in the world didn't they get a babysitter?  Why didn't they leave the children at home with family and friends?  I know what a 4-year-old can do if they wake up alone in their room.  My children have woken from a nap in their own bedrooms and have wrecked havoc..  There's always danger of a fire, the child falling while climbing and getting hurt, or even wandering out the door looking for their parents. 

From the beginning, I have thought something was fishy about this story.  There are too may "Whys?" and " What if's."   Even if the parents are innocent, they are bad parents to say the least.  In this day and age, it is so dangerous to leave children alone.  There are laws in the United States against leaving children alone in cars, and even laws against leaving animals alone in hot cars.  Surely Great Britian has such laws.  I would hope so.

The world may never know what happened to this little girl, but the parents will always have this stigma hanging over their heads.

Since the Revolutionary War, Americans have fought for the right to free speech and the freedom to think.  Now someone is trying to take the right to have a "Moment of Silence" taken from us??  Get a life.  If you don't want to take "one minute of silence that could be used for other things at school?" -  then home school.  Or go somewhere else where you don't have the right to think or do anything else.  Then maybe you would not be so quick to judge to majority of people who love the "right" to be able to "have a moment of silence,"  Leave the courts out of this.  They have better things to do.
