What do you WANT for Christmas?
I have a big box under our tree, and other presents that I don't need, but it is Christmas.

I would ADORE a new 111th Congress that would listen to the will of the people instead of thinking we're stupid and go with the status quo until November.

Someone, WEXLER, call for IMPEACHMENT, and people get on board.

The best part would be if they actually loaded that train.

2. The boxes under our tree are empty so far, but I want healthcare.
Neither of my kids has it, and all we can swing is catastrophic.

4. Damn. Why didn't you say something?
I am not in your boots, but I hear you, as many people do.
The threat of a debilitating disease or injury is scary.

Merry X-mas, and I hope we all can vote for someone who can get to the answer.

After the movie 'Sicko', it's time.

15. I met Dennis; he ate oatmeal and I
was in awe he was there, and that's almost a year ago. Yes, I picked someone else in case Dennis didn't make it, and I live in TX, so it doesn't matter here anyway.

I loved John Kerry, still do, but I am about to love Senator Barack Obama. First. I will enjoy any Dem over any rethug.

12. A best seller.
Of course, my best novel doesn't hit paper until March, but I'd love to see "Sword and Shadow" explode.

In lieu of that, I'm pretty content with what I have now. I literally don't want anything material for Christmas. My boys will be calling me, or I'll be calling them, and my wife and I will spend the day doing pretty much what suits us.

I didn't want anything for my birthday, and I don't really want anything for Christmas.

Nothing within reach, anyway.

:)

16. What Do I Want?
My daughters laughter/health
Food on the table
Heat in the winter
Air in the summer
Good friends and intelligent conversation
Peace (finally without the hangover of republicans)

P.S.

Before anyone knocks me on the order of things listed...I just cannot ever list my daughter and the word republican near each other. It gives me the creeps. :)

18. I want
I want everyone to be free of abuse,exploitation, manipulation,and away from control freaks,psychopaths authoritarians,narcissists and bullies.

I want EVERYONE to have everything listed in this pyramid and then some..


http://www.ruralhealth.utas.edu.au/comm-lead/leadership/Maslow-Diagram.htm

I want everyone to know what freedom is and how to be responsible for it,I want everyone to know they are not alone.

And for the wealthy and the abusive people let this quote be tattooed on their foreheads..where they will be forced to see it every time they look at themselves..

You have no more right to consume happiness without returning it, than you do to consume wealth without sharing it.

19. Thank you for asking. Peace. And the BFEE enterprise in jail.
That is all we want Santa, can you make it be so?

Thank you for asking.

We want the Constitution back. We want true representatives back that represent us, the people. We want them to stand up for the oath they swore to when they took their jobs. Have they lost sight of that oath? Did they forget it?

What the F)((&^?

It is not hard?

We are so ashamed of what has happened here, we let it. Yes, we did. We boomers, us Yuppies and Yippies, we Gen X'ers, we tweens, we all just left. We lost sight somewhere along the way of what it means to be a citizen of this "democracy".

We all let it go....................

24. Articles of Impeachment
And then, indictments. Meanwhile, subpoenas and contempt citations issued by committees of the House of Representatives. Testimony. Exhibits. Transcripts. Grand jury investigations. Private lawsuits. Injunctions. Press conferences. Alberto Gonzalez' ticket to practice law.

Then . . . (like Lucy Van Pelt) . . . real estate. :-)

I doubt that's true but if so you ARE in the minority!
NO "Religious holidays" would work for me!
(NO religion would be even better.)

My "minority" trumps yours I bet.

34. Well I don't care if there are religious holidays
what with the First Amendment and all, although they seem rather silly to me. But not having them forced on society by government edict would be nice. :hi:

No one's future to decide."

Have a wonderful holiday, and thanks for that song! I shared it with my nephew who's a guitar player and loves that kind of music.

This coming year seems to be one where we can but hope damage is minimized. Sigh. It's gonna be a long one. :hug:

39. I want many things
I want the American people to have the wisdom to elect a president who will lead us into a peaceful world. I want a president who embraces new ideas, respects other countries' cultures, and is willing to make difficult changes in the areas of healthcare and the environment. I want our president to have the ability to inspire people to accomplish these things. I want our Constitution to shine again.

46. I want my chain saw back, and an electric log splitter.
I'd like a raise, and to be able to replace this decrepit, rat-infested, falling apart old mobile home with something better.

Politically?

I want impeachment, and I want HR 676.
