President Bush To Cut DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS SPENDING

[mkemse]

Maybe you don't have what I'm talking about near you. I'm talking about a organization around my area that is funded by churches and private donors. They help a lot of people with bills, food, even toys at Christmas. They are completely ran off donor dollars. Perhaps if you are worried you should look into the possibility of helping to open something of that nature in your community. Surely you couldn't do it on your own but I'm sure if your community has nothing like this it's probably needed and probably others that would help put it together with a little push.

i have catholic charities but in this area all the help with 1 time is $50 for rent, no energy assistance no medication and even with food it has to be an emergency i checked with my state about a link card (food stamps) my disbilty pay is $2.00 over their limit, they coulds give me $10 but that intails a 2 hour orientation, and i need to fill uot papaer work ect and wait 6-8 month for approval if i even get it

aren't you exaggerating a little bit, two hours for an orientation for food stamps, I seriously doubt this, I'm not calling you a liar I just think you are exaggerating the facts

I went in and was told the orientation process is 2 hours long, I was stunned,
I have no reason to exaggerate because I need them, I just could not justy the time they required for the amount they would give me, Illinois does not pay for Medication either anymore due to Medicare D, I also pay more for my Medication now, I used to pay $9.00 a month, I now pay $30.00, with Medicaid through the State 2 of my Meds were free, no more, I now have tp pay for all the medication, but i do that through Medicare D, but it is still far more expensive for me then when the State Paid, but that's life not much I can do about it

all I can say is that somebody is jerking you off, they are trying to scare you away from signing up, it took me less than 30 minutes at the local food stamps office to get my card, and what orientation? I never did get one, I was lucky in that I was in by myself, so it might take longer with other people

it is all because of my month income from SSDI nothing more i knew that going in
They told me that with the income I have i do not need State assistance
