Harmony Health and Longevity

One of the people that I spent many long hours on the highways of America with last weekend was Missouri State Representative Jim Guest.  This is a great and couragous man.  He is standing up against the central party politic of his republican party to do the right thing.  Here is a breif video just released by Representative Guest regarding the Real ID card.   Put your seatbelts on folks, this could get a little rocky.

This is going to be a September to remember!

As the Republican National Convention gears up to nominate a candidate at odds with so many of the party’s traditional principles, and who promises us four more years of war, inflation, and financial ruin, we’ll be holding our Rally for the Republic in neighboring Minneapolis.

On September 2nd, at the University of Minnesota’s Williams Arena, the message of freedom and the Constitution will be shouted from the rooftops.  We’ll hear from top-notch speakers, musicians, and organizations who share our message.  (We’ve already revealed a few of them, with many more to be announced in the coming weeks.)  We’ll stand up for the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and respect for the Constitution that were once the hallmarks of the Republican Party.

And we’ll have a great time.

Our program in the Twin Cities will be unforgettable.  With your help, this can be the biggest event the freedom movement has ever seen.

At the rally we’ll also officially launch the Campaign for Liberty , complete with a multimedia presentation introducing the organization and laying out our short- and long-term goals. We’ll also hold workshops on how to organize and win in your precinct, district, and state. There are no shortcuts: this is the kind of knowledge we need if we are to translate great ideas into electoral victories.

But that’s not all: we also have exciting events planned for September 1st, the day the GOP convention opens.  First, Ron Paul will hold a book signing for his #1 New York Times bestseller, The Revolution: A Manifesto, at 1:00pm at a Borders bookstore on the outskirts of St. Paul (866 Rosedale Center, Roseville, Minn.).  That night, as a thank-you to all those who worked so hard on the campaign, we are pleased to announce the Ron Paul Nation Celebration , a free concert by musicians who supported Ron Paul.

Next week we will debut a new website dedicated exclusively to our events in Minnesota, including logistical support, information on performers, a working schedule, and promotional items to download and distribute. We’ll let you know as soon as it’s up and running.

In short, please come to Minneapolis if you possibly can.  Urge your friends and family to do the same.  Be a part of the grand culmination of Ron Paul’s historic campaign, and the official launch of his new one, the Campaign for Liberty.  There is no better or more dramatic way to declare that we are here to stay, that Dr. Paul’s support was no flash in the pan.

Ron Paul has made incalculable contributions to the cause of freedom, and inspired millions with his message.  Will you join us in standing beside him in September, at a critical watershed for the freedom movement?

In liberty,

The Campaign for Liberty Team

P.S. With the two major-party nominees rattling sabers at Iran and making phony promises with money that doesn’t exist, our message of peace and freedom needs a high-profile boost more than ever.  Come to Minneapolis, and let’s make it happen!

P.P.S. We want to reach 100,000 members of the Campaign for Liberty by September.  Can you lend a hand by signing up one friend or family member by the end of the week?

Too little of HDL (high density lipoprotien), one type of cholesterol, has been linked to memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists studied more than 3,500 civil servants to investigate how levels of HDL or “good” cholesterol were associated with memory. HDL cholesterol can influence the formation of the beta-amyloid “plaques” that are a distinctive feature in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

Higher levels of HDL are also believed to protect against damage to blood supply caused by the narrowing of the arteries.

After the five-year study period, the researchers found that people with low levels of HDL were 53 percent more likely to suffer memory loss than people with the highest levels of HDL.

Those with impaired memory are at an increased risk of developing dementia later in life.

There are an estimated 6,500 collection agencies in the United States, and complaints against them rose 26 percent in 2007, and 43 percent in the last five years, according to the Better Business Bureau.

For the past three years, in fact, debt collectors have been the subject of more complaints than any other industry, according to The Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Among the top complaints:

• Using vulgar language
• Trying to collect more than they’re owed
• Sharing the person’s debt information with friends and family
• Trying to collect extra fees such as late fees or court costs

It’s quite common for debt collectors to use this type of harassing, intimidating behavior to try to get you to pay … but it’s not always legal for them to do so.

If a Debt Collector Calls, What Rights Do You Have?

Knowing your rights is the first step to protecting yourself from a collection agency, and your first right is to have proof that the debt is yours. Ask the debt collector to send you written proof of the debt.

Otherwise, it’s possible the debt may actually belong to someone else with a similar name. Also, before you agree to pay anything or state that you do owe the money, find out if the debt is still enforceable. Depending on your state, certain debts have statute of limitations that range from three to 15 years.

If, in fact, you believe you don’t owe the debt, you can get a debt collector to stop contacting you by sending them a written letter stating you do not owe the money. While the debt collector may not contact you after this point, you can still be sued for the money if it’s determined that the debt is yours.

What CAN the Debt Collector Do?

The collector may contact you by mail, in person, by telephone, telegram or fax. However, they may not contact you at unreasonable times or places, such as before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m., unless you agree.

If you have an attorney, the collector is required to contact him or her instead of you. However, if you don’t have an attorney a debt collector may contact other people, typically only once, to find out where you live or work, or to get your phone number. The collector may not tell anyone other than your attorney that you owe money.

What CAN’T the Debt Collector Do?

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act requires that debt collectors treat you fairly and prohibits certain methods of debt collection. According to the FTC, debt collectors may NOT:

• Use threats of violence or harm
• Publish a list of consumers who refuse to pay their debts (except to a credit bureau)
• Use obscene or profane language; or repeatedly use the telephone to annoy someone
• Falsely imply that they are attorneys or government representatives
• Falsely imply that you have committed a crime
• Falsely represent that they operate or work for a credit bureau
• Misrepresent the amount of your debt
• Say you will be arrested if you do not pay your debt
• Say they will seize, garnish, attach, or sell your property or wages, unless the collection agency or creditor intends to do so, and it is legal to do so
• Say actions, such as a lawsuit, will be taken against you, when such action legally may not be taken, or when they do not intend to take such action
• Send you anything that looks like an official document from a court or government agency when it is not
• Use a false name
• Collect any amount greater than your debt, unless your state law permits such a charge
• Deposit a post-dated check prematurely
• Use deception to make you accept collect calls or pay for telegrams

Consumer Justice

If you feel you have been harassed or abused by a debt collector, report the problems to your state attorney general’s office and the Federal Trade Commission.

You can also sue a debt collector you believe has violated the law up to one year from the date of the violation. You can recover damages, attorney’s fees, and court costs, along with up to $1,000 additional. A group may also sue a collector for up to $500,000 in damages or 1 percent of the collector’s net worth, whichever is less.

If you do enter into negotiations with a debt collector, make sure to get everything in writing BEFORE you pay anything. Along with the amount you agree to pay, ask for the negative information to be removed from your credit report, or at least listed as “paid in full” rather than “paid in settlement.”

One final tip, debt collectors’ commissions are based on the business they do each month. So negotiating near the end of the month may give you some leverage.
