I would agree that it is not of benefit for those looking for advice, support,
etc. from fellow TM'ers to hear one-sided advertisements or promotional
materials from supporters of political candidates.
However, keep in mind that it is of benefit to be informed of such a candidate
who, although "physically fit" himself (as stated today by Frank) is, from my
understanding, a documented pro-abortionist whose position reveals a lack of
sympathy for the "weak" in which category we with TM could be placed. In fact,
this may not turn out to be only a lack of sympathy by rather a pro-active
stance which could and most likely would lead to an attitude which considers
the elderly or sickly a detriment to the economy or society in general.
Therefore, the very nature of this "list" should call for warnings, or at least
information, about certain ones seeking office who will have an influence on
our well-being as pertaining to TM.
Again, though, I agree we should not have to listen to (read) other general
political opinions, warnings, etc, when our main attention should be on TM and
closely related topics.

The guidelines need to include "political messages" We are one group united
by our common factor TM. but when a member spouts political rhetoric we are
divided into the right and the left. There are tons of groups devoted to this
type of political banter but only one for TM sufferers! I happen to be very
politically active (even volunteering for my party) but I respect the rights of
my fellow TM family members to have their Own Opinion politically, I respect
that they were not born yesterday, have a lifetime of experiences shaping
their views and have a sovereign right to their opinions! keep politics out
of this one please!

Subject: Fw: New Company Policy
Notice to All Employees
As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially
elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in
keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses
into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will
serve to give those of you who are underachieving a "fair shake."
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages,
including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves.
This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from
those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as "the
government." We will not participate in this "pool ing" experience because the
law doesn't apply to us.
4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all
employees every week, encouraging it's workers to continue to work hard "for
the good of all.=E 2
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies
because it's "good to spread the wealth." Those of you who have underachieved
will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had
success will feel more "patriotic."
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their
desks. Don't feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free
healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps,
and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't
pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you
might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't
all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!!
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies, you
may want to rethink your vote on November 4th.
