depression

I know everyone goes through depressing times and situations, but what if you seem to be depressed all the time? I am so frustrated with my job, my relationships and my life in general. I have for about 20 years now worked a job that is stressful in an industry that is very demanding and intricate, always changing making it always hard to keep up with. But in the past we could afford at least one vacation per year. now we can't even do that. I am so sick of working my tail off and getting no where. I know it is my own fault for not finishing school when i had the chance, but that's when i got laid off and there was nothing to do... what a crappy ride so far. My kids are about the only thing on this earth that give me joy! They deserve so much more... I love you Sarah and Nattie and am so sorry for this! prayin for a change soon... very soon i hope!

A letter sent to the Mayor of Columbus Ohio


Mr Coleman,

I am very frustrated with the politics in this day in age that keeps us from enforcing the law as it stands. Yes, Border security is a federal matter, but the Constitution of the United States gives the right to State to uphold there own security measures when needed. I believe Arizona has every right to pass legislation like Senate bill 1070 for there own security needs. I wonder, have you read Arizona bill 1070? If not, you should, because in the bill, If a law enforcement official is found to have discriminated unlawfully, they:

G. A PERSON MAY BRING AN ACTION IN SUPERIOR COURT TO CHALLENGE ANY

OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL

SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE THAT ADOPTS OR IMPLEMENTS A POLICY THAT LIMITS OR

RESTRICTS THE ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS TO LESS THAN THE FULL

EXTENT PERMITTED BY FEDERAL LAW. IF THERE IS A JUDICIAL FINDING THAT AN

ENTITY HAS VIOLATED THIS SECTION, THE COURT SHALL ORDER ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. THAT THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT THE ACTION RECOVER COURT COSTS AND

ATTORNEY FEES.

2. THAT THE ENTITY PAY A CIVIL PENALTY OF NOT LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND

DOLLARS AND NOT MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR EACH DAY THAT THE POLICY

HAS REMAINED IN EFFECT AFTER THE FILING OF AN ACTION PURSUANT TO THIS

SUBSECTION.

H. A COURT SHALL COLLECT THE CIVIL PENALTY PRESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION G

AND REMIT THE CIVIL PENALTY TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR DEPOSIT IN

THE GANG AND IMMIGRATION INTELLIGENCE TEAM ENFORCEMENT MISSION FUND

ESTABLISHED BY SECTION 41-1724.

I. A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IS INDEMNIFIED BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

OFFICER'S AGENCY AGAINST REASONABLE COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY

FEES, INCURRED BY THE OFFICER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION, SUIT OR

PROCEEDING BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION TO WHICH THE OFFICER MAY BE A

PARTY BY REASON OF THE OFFICER BEING OR HAVING BEEN A MEMBER OF THE LAW

ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, EXCEPT IN RELATION TO MATTERS IN WHICH THE OFFICER IS

ADJUDGED TO HAVE ACTED IN BAD FAITH.

J. THIS SECTION SHALL BE IMPLEMENTED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH

FEDERAL LAWS REGULATING IMMIGRATION, PROTECTING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF ALL

PERSONS AND RESPECTING THE PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES OF UNITED STATES

CITIZENS.

I believe any law enforcement official faced with the option to discriminate in any way unlawfully will think twice knowing the consequences that await him or her if they are wrong.

Let's stop the politics and understand why they have to take these measures. Our government is broken and is not doing the ONE thing that is most important for them to do for us and that is protect us. When this happens every state has the right and responsibility to pick up where the feds dropped the ball.

It is my request that you read the bill and then make a public apology to the people of Arizona for your decision to boy-cot them. Because that is truly who you are hurting is the people, not the politicians making this decision.

Thank you for any attention in this matter! It is extremely important to the safety and security of this nation!
