Do you have a tag program in your state? Because after Bush got into office someone cute the javits funding for all gifted individuals so along with that cuts were made to AP curriculum as well. Today is my birthday, and my wish would be that you restore IDEA to full capacity, fund it, as well as address gifted learners as we need to think outside ... See Morethe box, eh. I'm probably asking for the impossible here Arne Duncan couldn't possible care about my Child who is a dual learner NCLB who is gifted but LD, who doesn't get accommodated and is flunking two subjects no child left behind. I'm attending the 60th annual dyslexia conference would you please address this issue as well? Some changes were made under IDEA that hurt this particular group, back in nov. 2004. And its disciminating against my son William's civil rights.

Senath, remove that comment or I will report it. I'm a Lynch/ Fitzgerald and I do not appreciate that verbal attack which is a complete lie! Please find another sight to get attention from, not from someone who is doing the best for his community.

Recovery.gov, the government’s official website to track funding from

dollars are being spent. Additionally, citizens are encouraged to use
the website to report any wast...e or fraud associated with recovery funds
to federal, state, and local officials. The new design corresponds

accountability.

I've been trying to find out if there is a project to fix the I-95 bridge in Pawtucket. Seems to me that that would be a good use of these funds.

Medicaid is doing a poor job serving the current people so how would you justify an open border with amnesty coming for illegal alien care to jack up the rates in the free market in a depression and calling this a fix? I'm sorry I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. The cold hard truth is my Grandma suffered a cracked hip for 12 years ... See Morethey left her in pain, due to her age. O your heart is weak they said. No they figured she'd be dead by now.

In Cuba or other socialized countries things are not like Micheal Moore claimed. We are being lied too again. Why don't you open up the free market from state to state? Why don't you reform the existing programs and make it so free enterprise can't exclude people after they insure them? Why don't you allow people to come together and help fix this? Or what about health clinics that base a fee on a sliding scale due to income. Government can not be all to us. Look at the state we are in? Look at Katrina. Look at this war, the never ending war.

I believe we need health care reform, but your missing some key things that would help all American's become insured. I would like to see this work in a bipartisen effort. I've never had a mammogram, approaching 45. Both my Great Grandmothers died of cervical cancer and breast cancer. I would love to see incentives for free Mammograms and paps to ... See Morecatch cancer in the earliest stages possible which would save money and lives.

Also I would love to see competition in the free market work. As I would like to see safe guards put in place when people pay for private insurance its upsetting when they try to get out of paying or deny people coverage over pre-existing conditions. I believe we need balance in the free market and gov. in order to keep our economy going. I believe we need to reform what is not working in medicaid, as I have seen much abuse. I would hope that you as a Kennedy can lead in this effort. We need to stop care for criminals who come to this country illegally. Thanks.
