How do I find out what my passcode is for my friend to use my wifi on CISCO?

All I can find is an internet security key. She is staying here from Sunday on to watch my dogs and I have to leave her the passcode. Century Link has been no help so far. They keep saying to log off and when I log on it will ask me for my passcode but it always just logs me back on.

It that all she needs?

Thanks!

Here is the video I wanted to see! Too short but it's good! Mitt Romney dabates himself.

Mitt Romney Debates Himself.

For all you praying people or visualizers or ones who send out positive energy.

I think it is 100% OK for us to pray, send energy, visualize, whatever your thing is, to re-elect President Obama. For one thing it will save lives. Mitt Romney will take away health care for 10's of millions of people, including children and many will die if he is elected. I also believe he will start another unnecessary war with Iran which mean more deaths. And the poverty, pollution and misery that will happen when he gives more tax cuts to the wealthy, cuts regulations, Medicare and all sort of entitlement programs is frightening.

For this reason I believe it is right for people who believe in spiritual energy to use that spiritual energy to help our country.

Whatever you do. However you do it. I don't think it matters. All that matters is that you have good intentions.

This is my advise for President Obama for taking on whack job in the next debate

Casually accuse him of lying when he is, "Now you're lying again Mitt" and then school him on foreign policy since he is such and idiot. Talk to him like you are teaching him because he doesn't know. Because it's true, he doesn't know.

I bet that would make the guy blow a gasket.

WTF? Joe Scarborough is saying that the debate has changed the whole campaign and Democrats

are all disappointed and think the President is not qualified and crap like this. I don't see this.

Does anyone see this?

I want to hit this guy. I watched Fox news for about 1/2 hour yesterday when MSNBC went to its shit programming and they were saying the same thing but I expected it out of them.

Someone make me feel better please!

Alan Grayson needs our help. Remember he was always a great friend to us.

Apparently I spoke too soon and from wrong information. From others on this thread the information is he is doing very well.

I just gave to his campaign. Maybe someone else wants to too.

Alan Grayson is BACK -- and running strong in a new Democratic-leaning Florida congressional district. If he wins, it sure will be nice to have his voice representing Florida and all of us in Congress again!

Last cycle, PCCC members made over 215,000 calls for Grayson -- contacting key voters from our homes.

This coming Tuesday, we are honored to kick off our 2012 Call Out The Vote program by making calls for Alan Grayson!

(You can also donate $3 to fund Grayson's comeback! https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/graysonboldprogressives?refcode=e4-florida

Grayson is famous for his honesty. He said the Republican health care plan is "Don't get sick. If and you do get sick, die quickly."

Alan Grayson is also an effective, progressive fighter. He passed a bill into law to audit the Federal Reserve, which unearthed trillions in secret bailouts to the big banks.

Thousands of folks have made these calls before. We use special technology so you never get answering machines or busy signals. It's fun, it's easy, and Alan Grayson needs our help.

This link is for making calls. I don't know if you can do that from your home but I'll leave the link anyway.

I just watched an anti-Obama ad here in FL where they said Obama and Nancy Pelosi

and the Democrats would add $4,000 to the middle class in taxes and it was at American.com

I'm at American.com and can't find anything there that says anything of the sort. They have a long article that says Romney won't increase taxes on the middle class, (sort of because they say that Obama is not taking the great increase in the economy......I think) Here is the link.

http://american.com/archive/2012/october/the-romney-tax-plan-not-a-tax-hike-on-the-middle-class

Anyway it was the most blatant lie I have heard in a TV ad so far from the Romney camp. I guess he thinks he got away with them at the debates all bets are off for his campaign.

I went into the belly of the beast and found out some specifics about what Romney plans to do.

I copied some of the here. I added some explanations of the letters he used since he did not take the time to explain what they were, (Like the LSC - Legal Services Council which he wants to eliminate).
Anyway I hope I help someone with this information.

http://www.mittromney.com/learn/mitt

These are some of his proposals - straight from his site.


Reduce Subsidies For

The National Endowments For The Arts And Humanities,
The Corporation For Public Broadcasting,
The Legal Services Corporation
NEA, (National Educational Association - my addition clarification)
NEH, (National Endowment for the Humanities - my clarification)
CPB, (Corporate public broadcasting - my clarification)
LSC, (Legal Services Corporations - my clarification) funds services mostly duplicative of those already offered by states, localities, bar associations and private organizations.
Eliminate Title X Family Planning Funding — Title X subsidizes family planning programs that benefit abortion groups like Planned Parenthood.

Empower States To Innovate

Block grants have huge potential to generate both superior results and cost savings by establishing local control and promoting innovation in areas such as Medicaid and Worker Retraining. Medicaid spending should be capped and increased each year by CPI + 1%. Department of Labor retraining spending should be capped and will increase in future years. These funds should then be given to the states to spend on their own residents. States will be free from Washington micromanagement, allowing them to develop innovative approaches that improve quality and reduce cost.


Align Federal Employee Compensation With The Private Sector — Federal compensation exceeds private sector levels by as much as 30 to 40 percent when benefits are taken into account. This must be corrected.
Repeal The Davis-Bacon Act — Davis-Bacon forces the government to pay above-market wages, insulating labor unions from competition and driving up project costs by approximately 10 percent.

(me - The Davis-Bacon Act is a requirement to pay prevailing wages for federal contractors not above market wages)

Reform Environmental Regulation

As president, Mitt Romney will eliminate the regulations promulgated in pursuit of the Obama administration’s costly and ineffective anti-carbon agenda. Romney will also press Congress to reform our environmental laws to ensure that they allow for a proper assessment of their costs.

Ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process
Provide multi-year lead times before companies must come into compliance with onerous new environmental regulations

Adopt Structural Reforms

An agency may be able to conceive of ten different regulations, each imposing costs of $10 billion while producing at least as much in social benefit. Moving forward might sound like a great idea to the typical regulator. But imposing those regulations, no matter what the social benefits, has a similar effect to raising taxes by $100 billion. Regulatory costs need to be treated like the very real costs they are.

Impose a regulatory cap of zero dollars on all federal agencies
Require congressional approval of all new “major” regulations
Reform legal liability system to prevent spurious litigation




Free Enterprise

Amend NLRA, (National Labor Relations Act - my clarification) to explicitly protect the right of business owners to allocate their capital as they see fit
Reverse executive orders issued by President Obama that tilt the playing field toward organized labor

Support states in pursuing Right-to-Work laws, (Right-to-work states prohibit mandatory organized labor and thus the labor unions have very little clout and the wages in these states, such as Florida are very low - me)


Individual Taxes


Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI, (Adjusted gross income) below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate the Death Tax
Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)


ENERGY

Mitt will establish the most robust five-year offshore lease plan in history, that opens new areas for resource development – including off the coasts of Virginia and the Carolinas – and sets minimum production targets to increase accountability.

Instead of relying on decades-old surveys developed with decades-old technologies, Mitt’s plan facilitates new energy assessments to determine the true extent of our resource endowment.

Mitt will pursue measured reforms of our environmental laws and regulations to strengthen environmental protection without destroying jobs or paralyzing industries. Mitt’s plan will also streamline the gauntlet of reviews, processes, administrative procedures, and lawsuits that mire so many new projects in red tape.

(me - more drilling, fracking and bad things for the environment)

Can someone get together or find someone to get together a video of Romney's lies

tonight at the debate, one by one, followed by him telling something completely different at another debate, rally or fundraiser and get it on TV or put it here and we'll get it to go viral?

For one thing the people who think Romney did a good job will see how he was just full of it again and another thing Romney will lose confidence for the next debate.

And the final reason is it is the right thing to do damn it!

I don't know how to make videos but I would be very willing to help locate the "otherwise stated".

The Dem Congressional Campaign Committee is tripp-ling all donations today! Get rid of Boehner!

(From an email sent to me. I think this is the first time I ever gave to them.)

Folks, if you're sick and tired of John Boehner & his Tea Party Congress controlling the House, here's your chance to do something about it. Our friends at the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) are leading the effort to take back the House. All gifts today will be triple matched!

We can do it. Help the DCCC make it happen.

John Hlinko, Left Action

If the Republicans win the House again in November, they aren’t going to come back to Washington, have a change of heart, and play nice with President Obama.

The only way to stop these extremists is to defeat them in November.

There are just 24 hours until the most important fundraising deadline of the election. The DCCC must raise $240,000 more before tomorrow's midnight deadline to wage a winning campaign for a Democratic House.

This is our chance to end the national nightmare of Tea Party Republican rule.

Donate $3 or whatever you can today: http://dccc.org/24-Hours

Thanks,

Barney Frank
