RANDOM!!!
When are the leaders of America going to stop being such haters? Eventually the minority will crush you so why all the difficulties in showing some respect? I mean, because if ever there is an opportunity to reverse roles then many of them are in trouble! No mercy! and I'm not evening saying that because that's how I feel. I don't ever wanna hate or hurt someone but I know a few in America's slave/control camps (aka prisons) that would...

Some things I am confused about?
-Is the guy in charge of this census really a red neck? So I heard. What's his name?
-How come there is only one option for "Whites"? Weren't they once referred to as Caucasion?
-How come our president has yet to address this?Or has he? If so let us know!
-Aren't we all one race? One people. One heart beat? This can't be the United States. Whoever told you that LIED big time! Nothing united about what we do here!
-Didn't we all originate from our fathers testicles who then placed us in our mother's egg where we developed for 9 months? Why is that not an option? Daddy's nuts?! That's what I'm putting. I got a lot more questions and yes I'll be on GT TV addressing them all! More later!

August is the make-or-break month for health care reform.

Can you come to an event with Senator Arlen Specter in State College tomorrow?

Right-wing extremists have been crashing tons of events and trying to dominate the national debate. But MoveOn members won't let them succeed—we're pushing back with Real Voices for Change, an ambitious campaign to show that the overwhelming majority of Americans continue to support President Obama's plans for change. Now, we need to make sure Sen. Specter knows that constituents are counting on him to pass health care reform with a real public health insurance option—that's key to expanding coverage and helping bring down costs for all of us.

We have numbers on our side, but Sen. Specter won't know it unless we all show up. Important votes on health care will come as soon as Congress returns to Washington, so there's no time to waste.

The event location is: The Penn Stater, President's Hall 4 in State College.

We're in a critical month for President Obama's agenda. Corporate lobbyists are trying to weaken or kill both his health care and energy plans.

And recently, right-wingers have been hijacking town halls and other public events. They're even using fraudulent tactics, like bringing in people who don't live in the district.1 We urgently need to make sure everyday constituents are heard in the public debate over health care—and coming to this event is a timely and easy way to do that.

Can you be there on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.?

Yes, I'll be there.

Sorry, I can't make it.

Thanks for all you do.

Driving while under the influence (DUI) is very common in the US because we enjoy drinking. Just in 2006 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated nearly 18,000 people died in "alcohol-related" collisions; that’s about 41% of total traffic deaths. We think too many people, and especially students, don’t understand the effects and consequences of driving under the influence. We hope to help change all of that…at least at Penn State!

Here are the limits you should consider if you are 21+ and decide to drink. Of course these numbers differ for each person given size/weight, sex, etc., so do not quote us on this. It is just a reference to help you better understand. Also, one drink per hour is ideal for these measurements. This is the rate at which your body should be able to get rid of the alcohol and this will also vary for each person.

Standard limits*

• one 12 oz-beer (5% alcohol)
• one 5-oz glass wine (12% alcohol)
• one and 1/2 oz of 80-proof liquor (40% alcohol)

Levels of impairment for PA

1. General Impairment (.08 to .099% BAC)
2. High BAC (.10 to .159% BAC)
3. Highest BAC (.16% and higher)

The higher your Blood Alcohol Level (BAC) the greater the consequences! When you risk a DUI you risk:

• Spending time in jail
• Giving up your license
• Paying hefty fines
• Attending Safety and Drinking Classes
• Attending Rehab if the judge so desires
• Having a criminal record
• Killing or injuring yourself or worst…OTHERS!
• And more!

Here are some other resources for you to get more information. Be smart about your decisions and know what’s at stake. We're not saying don't have your fun we're just saying drink responsibly!
