Florida - Say NO to higher electric bills


Subject: Say NO to higher electric bills

Forward to a Friend
Header
Dear William,

After months of public meetings around the state, the Public Service Commission (PSC) hearings regarding Florida Power & Light’s (FPL) request for a $690 million rate increase are coming to an end. 
The PSC is expected to make their final decision by November.
 
As Florida’s largest utility, this rate increase will affect 8 million Floridians.
 
FPL's original request was for a 16 percent increase in base rates starting in 2013. Then, this month after weeks of public testimony, FPL announced a "settlement" with three of the groups that had been opposing their rate increase.

Although FPL has portrayed the settlement as a decrease from their originally requested rate increase, it is actually shifting $50 million a year in increases from major power users to residential consumers. The "settlement" also gives FPL automatic rate increases for three future power plants and increases monthly late fees on residential bills.
 
All told, the new agreement would give FPL nearly one billion dollars more revenue over four years than their original request.
 
 
FPL has a monopoly on its services – they have no competition and have a guaranteed return on investment. Their CFO says a rate increase is necessary “to continue to deliver value to its customers” and a “fair return” to investors. However, shareholders of FPL’s parent company NextEra received a 22% return in 2011, and their profits increased 72% in the first quarter of 2012!
 
This certainly begs us to ask - why does FPL need a rate increase?
 
FPL’s President says that the company has a history of tightening its belt, but their rate increase request includes $100 million for salary and benefits increases, and NextEra’s CEO made $14.8 million in 2011! This doesn’t seem like belt-tightening to us.
 
Governor Scott has said his focus is on leaving money in Florida families' pockets. At this time in Florida's economic recovery, he knows families need every dollar that comes in. When the average consumer is lucky to receive one percent return on their savings, if they even have any savings, why would FPL ask for such an unfounded and outrageous rate increase? It's time for FPL to be good stewards and watch out for their customers, not just their shareholders.
 
Governor Scott and the members of the PSC need to know that you can’t afford increased utility rates. Voice your opposition to FPL’s request and ask them to protect the interest of all Floridians.
 
In pursuit of liberty,
 
Slade O’Brien
State Director

Global Coherence Initiative by Drake

Global Coherence Initiative

by Drake
 Start here:
------------------------------------------------------
       This was requested and is how everyone can help.
Follow the instructions :
One of the most effective energetic contributions we can make to help co-create a positive future for ourselves and the planet is to replace our tendencies towards negative, downsided projections regarding personal or planetary outcomes. A downsided projection is a negative perception or speculation about how something will play out. For example, say you’re planning to meet someone with whom you have a hard time communicating. Instead of projecting judgment, dread or anxiety, replace that feeling with a heart intention to drop your presets and judgments while maintaining the state of calm and neutrality. This creates an environment where people and situations can change for the better – and even if they don’t change, you benefit from clearing the negative presets from your personal energy field.
Negative projections are registered in the heart’s and brain’s electromagnetic fields, generating waves of incoherence in the energy field environment around us that serve to create outcomes we don’t want. Most of us have done this at times, especially in the midst of challenges. It’s a societal habit handed down through generations that can seem normal and without consequence. As we practice changing the habit of negative projections, we reduce much personal stress and increase our power to manifest a higher vibrational field environment, which is our highest contribution to the global consciousness shift.
Remember, we each have a choice to add incoherence or coherence to the energetic field environment.
Care Focus: Replacing Negative Projections
For this full moon Care Focus, breathe love and compassion into the planetary field environment, while imagining our collective heart energy helping to ease the cumulative stressors from ongoing global conflicts and weather challenges. Then visualize more people beginning to realize that negative projections create the unwanted energy field environment we are trying to dissipate by sending love and compassionate care. As we practice replacing negative projections, this builds an energetic grid that makes it easier for others to be intuitively inspired to do the same. This full moon period is a supportive time to launch or re-commit to these types of habit changes.

40 QUOTES FROM CLINT EASTWOOD REGARDING OBUMMMMMER....


FROM CLINT....
 
ALL YOUR FRIENDS NEED A LAUGH, SO SEND IT ON SO THEY CAN HAVE ONE TOO....
 

Danger? by Drake

Danger?

by Drake
      As reported by Alex Jones on Info Wars:
          Dangerous knowledge?
        IF the general press knows about this, then so do those who would kill us with the same system.
       I understand this is a test, but I also am aware that our government has a history of 'testing' various chemical and biological weapons on the general population.
      Are the 'test' systems to be removed after this 'test' or not?
      Is it possible that the harmless might be replaced with something dangerous? Thus leaving a residue that could kill those who use this place after the 'test'?
      There is no way to offer complete safety for anyone. Very simply, when the person doing this type of attack, is willing to sacrifice themselves, there is almost no defense.
      I am posting this as a warning, not to cause fear, but to have everyone start being aware of the fact that several organizations and groups have declared war on ALL of us.
      In places where attacks are common, the people are watchful of anything out of place, out of the ordinary. Simply, who wants to be standing next to a bomb, biological weapon, when it goes off?
      In the near future information will be provided that shows that some who are supposed to protect us, are involved in many of these so called terrorist actions.
      It is certain that those who give these orders will be taken down along with their mercenaries.
      Keep aware, look around, be safe.

Australians implant "World First" bionic eye

Australians implant 'world first' bionic eye
by Staff Writers
Sydney (AFP) Aug 30, 2012



Australian scientists said 


Thursday they had successfully implanted a "world first" bionic eye prototype, describing it as a major breakthrough for the visually impaired.
Bionic Vision Australia (BVA), a government-funded science consortium, said it had surgically installed an "early prototype" robotic eye in a woman with hereditary sight loss caused by degenerative retinitis pigmentosa.
Described as a "pre-bionic eye", the tiny device is attached to Dianne Ashworth's retina and contains 24 electrodes which send electrical impulses to stimulate her eye's nerve cells.
Researchers switched on the device in their laboratory last month after Ashworth had fully recovered from surgery and she said it was an incredible experience.
"I didn't know what to expect, but all of a sudden, I could see a little flash -- it was amazing," she said in a statement.
"Every time there was stimulation there was a different shape that appeared in front of my eye.
Penny Allen, the surgeon who implanted the device, described it as a "world first".
Ashworth's device only works when it is connected inside the lab and BVA chairman David Penington said it would be used to explore how images were "built" by the brain and eye.
Feedback from the device will be fed into a "vision processor" allowingdoctors to determine exactly what Ashworth sees when her retina is subjected to various levels of stimulation.
"The team is looking for consistency of shapes, brightness, size and location of flashes to determine how the brain interprets this information," explained Rob Shepherd, director of the Bionics Institute which was also involved in the breakthrough.
The team is working towards a "wide-view" 98-electrode device that will provide users with the ability to perceive large objects such as buildings and cars, and a "high-acuity" 1,024-electrode device.
Patients with the high-acuity device are expected to be able to recognise faces and read large print, and BVA said it would be suitable for people with retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration.
Penington said the early results from Ashworth had "fulfilled our best expectations, giving us confidence that with further development we can achieve useful vision".
"The next big step will be when we commence implants of the full devices," he said.

Hello All:
                     A good up date from SaLuSa. Be sure and read the seventh Paragraph.

The dark Ones really thought they had won the day, and the New World order was in their reach. However, they reckoned without your resilience and determination to stand up to them, and in the relatively short period since your present century started, you have exponentially increased the Light on Earth to defeat them. They still make noises and believe that they can still interfere with the plans for Ascension, but the fact is that they are now no more than a minor irritation. They no longer have the power or support to achieve any real measure of success, and are witnessing the demise of their empire.

What we are dealing with now is the system that they set up that still functions. It does for example stand in the way of  Disclosure, but with each day that passes their obstruction is being removed. Once Disclosure becomes officially approved, it will open the floodgates to many other aspects of our ongoing relationship with you. Open contact has to be seen as a separate issue, but will take place before Ascension occurs. The way must be first prepared for such great revelations, because many people are still in denial of our existence let alone ready to receive us. However, the truth must come out as your future is very much  bound up with ours, because we are All One.

Our arrival will not signal any intent to take anything away from you, and it is quite the opposite as we have so much to give you to help you leap into the New Age. That of course is not the end of it as you will then join up with us on an equal basis, and together we will serve others who are needing the type of experience that we can give. Your future will bear little or no similarity to what you have been experiencing, and will be totally different but also very acceptable. We might say that you have not lived yet, because your lives have been served in a false reality. It is one that you were given freewill to create as you wished, but was taken over by the dark forces.

Your freewill will not be taken away from you, and whatever you choose will be your new pathway that will commence after this present cycle ends. In these circumstances, there is no point in trying to persuade others to do differently, as they will not feel comfortable out of their depth. Furthermore, there are no such things as deadlines where your evolution is concerned. You progress at your own pace, and if souls choose to stay in the lower dimensions then quite clearly they are not ready to move on. In all probability they will not need to stay in them for very long, as like you they can call upon their earlier experiences.

Whether the media care to report it or not, we are progressing very steadily and matters are building up for a grand finale. The new financial situation is taking shape and the necessity for great change is being accepted. It cannot therefore be very long before some announcements about it are forthcoming. It will certainly be the beginning of the end of the Illuminati. Without control of the money supply they disjointed and unable to fund their various activities. We are in any event recovering vast sums of money, bonds and valuable metals that will be returned to their rightful owners or placed into a worldwide Redistribution Fund.

Dear Ones we are very busy overseeing our allies activities, and the more we work together the more success we are achieving. After Ascension our relationship with you will become even more personal, and you will quickly become Star Beings as you were eons of time ago. For that reason you will take to it very easily and feel at home with what you will be doing. It will all be very purposeful and aimed at bringing you fully into your new lives. How nice it will be for you to know that everyone you meet will be trustworthy and sincere in their activities. Honesty will be taken for granted, as in the higher dimensions there is no place for anything less.

So hold on for while longer as whatever your problems whether they be physical or otherwise they will be solved. We know that many suffer the physical ills associated with life on Earth, but rest easy in the knowledge that all of them will be put right. There is absolutely nothing that cannot be remedied though our healing methods, and as a Being of energy you will find that sound and colours are very central to them. Crystals are also very much involved and can be used in ways that creates the most powerful energies for transformation and cures. In fact crystals will play a very big part in your lives in future. These concepts are by no means new to you, as many of you were in Atlantis in the periods that they were widely used.

We believe you are beginning to understand why you are so highly thought of, because your levels of consciousness were much higher in the past. The lower vibrations of duality have made it difficult for you recall those times, and it is only recently that you have started to awaken to your true selves. Your potential is unlimited and you will soon find your true place in the scheme of things. When you get to know us you will see yourselves in us, and that is because many of you came from the civilizations that are members of the Galactic Federation of Light. When you meet your own you will know immediately that they relate to you, and what a reunion you will have. Indeed, there will be celebrations when we can openly meet you, because you will realize that we have always been close to each other. It will be the most natural coming together of souls who have worked together for eons of time.

You have so much to look forward to, so do not waste your time or energy worrying what will happen to the dark Ones. You will certainly be informed who has been behind the plans to take over you and your world, and who has been responsible for the atrocities committed throughout your history. Naturally you will be more interested in those that have occurred in your own lifetimes. There will be many shocks as people that you may have respected will be revealed for what they really are. Let the information clear the air of the speculation that surrounds tragedies such as 9/11, but please do not use it to seek revenge against those involved. Leave those matters to the higher authorities who know exactly what to do, so that you know justice will prevail.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and wish you success in preparing for Ascension.

Thank you SaLuSa.
Mike Quinsey.

HOME MADE SOUTHERN SWEET TEA



Posted on June 4, 2011 by The Southern Lady
When life hands you lemons… squeeze them into some sweet iced tea and thank God you were born a southern girl!
Southerners love iced tea and drink it by the gallon! We even like it in a Mason jar. It was Dolly Parton in the movie, Steel Magnolias, that called Southern sweet tea, “the house wine of the South”. There was never a truer statement. Talk about the South and sooner or later sweet tea comes to mind. Southerners love this sweet liquid and Southern girls are taught to make it by their Southern mamas. In the South, sweet tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it before you can walk. Sweet tea makes Southerners think of home, tradition, picnics and hot afternoons “sippin” sweet tea while “swayin” in the swing on the front porch. Southern girls know you can’t be considered a serious Southern belle unless you know how to make sweet tea.
There are lots of ways to make sweet tea but it has to have sugar. In many cases, the more sugar the better and I prefer to use Luzianne tea.
4 family sized tea bags
1 1/2 to 2 cups sugar
3 quarts water
Bring the water to a boil. Remove from stove and add sugar so it will dissolve in the hot water. Add tea bags and let steep about 30 minutes. Pour in enough water and ice to make a gallon of tea.
(I like a couple sprigs of mint in my iced tea, too)
Some people add a pinch of baking soda. This is supposed to keep the tea from becoming cloudy. Enjoy!

NEITHER ROMNEY OR THE IMPOSTER PRESIDENT WILL CREATE JOBS


NEITHER ROMNEY OR THE IMPOSTER PRESIDENT WILL CREATE JOBS


By: Devvy
August 31, 2012
NewsWithViews.com


Jobs and the economy are at the top of the list for the upcoming election. Those who count the votes will decide who wins. Between illegal aliens voting, electronic machines, scanners, tainted voting rolls and cheaters, we won't know who actually won from the top down. Again. Of course, Soetoro/Obama has no legal right to be on the ballot, but since every member of Congress is a gutless coward, as well as Georgia's Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, and cowardly judges, the same fraud could happen again this November as did four years ago: an illegitimate candidate "wins" the presidential election.
If you've spent the time researching who is behind the curtain and how the dirty game is played, it doesn't matter to the global ruling elite which candidate from the two "major" parties wins. Only those who can be controlled make it to the top for decades. A sad, sad thing for us, our children and grand children.
I know that is negative, but people have got to open their eyes. “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and to provide for it.” -Patrick Henry
There is no reason for high unemployment in this country. A nation rich in human and natural resources has been destroyed by Congress after Congress after Congress and signed on by presidents for nearly 100 years.
I watched about three minutes of Gov. Chris Christie's speech the other night at the GOP convention on tv. The poster boy for gluttony and sloth, who protects illegal aliens in his state who steal jobs that belong to the people of New Jersey. Christie's get tough, we're taking back America sounds great. I saw the same orchestrated "show" in 2008, when I attended the GOP convention up in St. Paul, Minnesota. But, in reality, it's just more of the same because solutions are never even discussed. Certainly not by the impostor president and not by Williard Romney or Paul Ryan.
A large block of voters are too young to remember when the real destruction of good paying jobs started. NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement aka No American Factories Taking Applications), CAFTA and a dozen job killing treaties over the past 17 years has gutted our most important job sectors: agriculture, manufacturing and industrial. Let's not leave out the big one: GATT/WTO. Full page ad, New York Times, April 15, 1994:
"1944. Bretton Woods: The IMF and the World Bank. 1945. San Francisco: The United Nations. 1994, Marrakech: The World Trade Organization. History knows where it's going. The final act of the Uruguay Round....to the WTO, the third pillar of the New World Order, along with the UN and the IMF."
Paul Ryan, as well as Speaker of the House, John Boehner, voted to keep the US in that damnable treaty.
Yet, election after election, all I hear is "create jobs" from voters, but not one word about demanding a candidate or incumbent pledge to get us out of all those treaties and bring the jobs home.
America used to be a producing nation. We produced, we kept the wealth. Since NAFTA and every "free" treaty passed since then, you now pay a foreign worker the fruits of your labor for a job you once had or would like to have from manufacturing to engineering. They keep the gold while you live hand to mouth. America has become a service oriented, entertainment based economy and that is one of the major reasons our economy is on life support.
Every time you buy made in a foreign country - especially communist China -your consumer dollar goes to keep someone employed in another country. "Free" trade has cost this nation more than 8 MILLION good paying jobs, and yet, the American people continue to send the same incumbents who destroyed their jobs right back to Congress to continue down the path to ruin. When you go shopping, tell retailers you want Made in America and walk out. They will get the message. Take a stand for American workers.
Of course, another big problem is lack of qualified workers to fill jobs in our three most important job sectors, but that's another column. A sad one to be sure.
I highly recommend people shop local; keep the money in your community. Support farmers markets and craft fairs where you buy made in America by talented Americans.
The other component is employers are not hiring because many of them see what's coming and have to hoard their cash to stay in business. Can you blame them? They also don't know what's coming out of the Outlaw Congress week after week in regulations that kill their businesses. The Outlaw Congress has no constitutional authority to dictate to private businesses how to do their business, what health insurance they must carry for employees and a million other things.
Whose fault is it? Why the long time incumbent who will get voted back into office in November. The same insanity over and over and over.
The Big Daddy
Unless a person fully understands the evil of fiat currency, they will continue to cheer on the Willard Romney's in the political world. The unconstitutional "Federal" Reserve is the head of the beast and it is what grabbed my attention over two decades ago. Once I began researching, I was sickened and horrified by what I was learning. The impostor in the White House has and will never utter the words Abolish the Fed and neither will Willard or Paul Ryan. They talk only of more Band Aids that will not create jobs.
There is speculation as to whether or not Willard, if elected, will keep the inept "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke as head of the "Fed". So, you see, the solution is ignored while we slide down the razor blade into poverty. On September 29, 1993, my Project on Winning Economic Reform (all the great people who went to Washington, DC that day to support it is a wonderful memory) submitted over 1.7 million petition signatures to abolish the "Fed" and the IRS. Nineteen years ago next month. Nothing has changed except the Congressionally created "national" debt went from $4,387,836,063,260.07 to $15,978,918,589,911.74 in unpayable debt. So, you see, it doesn't matter if a Democrat or Republican is in the White House or which party controls Congress. They're all crooks and thieves, simple as that.
Until the American people take the time to fully understand how the magical money machine works (the "Fed"), they will continue cheering on their own destruction.
There's a lot of talk about the "national" debt created by the Outlaw Congress. But, it's tens of millions of Americans who demand the outlaws in the U.S. Congress violate the U.S. Constitution by stealing the fruits of your labor to give to them in one form of government check or another. Every penny is borrowed from the privately owned "Federal" Reserve. The fruits of our labor are stolen to pay the interest for all the reckless and immoral spending longer than I've been alive.
Unless Americans become educated about inflation, deflation and depressions and how the "Federal" Reserve causes it, they will continue cheering on Band Aid pushers like Soetoro, Romney, Ryan, Bush, Pelosi, Rubio, Reid; the list is endless.
Everything about the "Fed" is evil. The continued devaluing of the dollar is what's killing this country. George Ure summed it up last week on his web site, Urban Survival:
"One reason for the surge in gold prices this week: The Fed is sounding in the FOMC minutes like they are open to another quantitative easing of the money supply. In other words, they are likely to print more money - and this watering down of paper money's purchasing power is what makes it seem like prices are going up.
"The truth - and not very well taught in politically-correct schooling these days - is that prices don't really go up - so much as there's just more and more paper chasing the same goods and services so it takes more paper.
"How much more paper? Well, since the Fed got into the business of renting America its paper money, back in 1913, what used to cost $1-dollar now costs $23.52. Which is why in 1913 a steak dinner was $1 and today it's about $23-$24 for the same thing.
"Plain as I can tell you: A dollar is only worth 4.2517 percent of what it was in 1913. Almost 96% of its purchasing power has been watered down by too many paper dollars floating around. But without that kind of accounting, what government services would you like to do without...since that's largely made possible by deficit spending and the fine art of "making up money."
Which is why I have sounded like a broken record for the past 15 years or so about putting most of your assets into gold. Yes, food, guns and ammunition are critical, but for folks blessed with large savings and 401(k)s, they need to get out of worthless paper.
Sadly, it's too far gone. What's coming at us like a freight train cannot be stopped. If people thought 2008 was bad, they had better prepare themselves. All the campaign promises in the world cannot stop the charge to the edge of the cliff because we're going over. Listen to a man whose extensive credentials and accuracy are well known in the financial world:
"I am a successful small businessman and a patriot who loves America and always sees its greatness. I am also an optimistic, positive thinker who always sees the glass half full. But not this time. This time we are in such deep trouble, the only solution is a radical restructuring of the politicians, the economy, and the way we view personal responsibility versus government handouts. If those changes don't come then we are facing a long decline and the eventual end of America."
Back in September 2004, like so many others, I warned what was coming:Ignore Danger Signs of the Coming Financial Catastrophe At Your Own Risk
In 2005, Dr. Edwin Vieira, warned people: Are Monetary & Banking Crises Inevitable in the Near Future?
Well, we all know what happened and it's not over by a long shot.
The changes won't be coming because the banking cartel owns Congress and the White House, right along side the communist Chinese. It is why I wrote the working paper for our state legislature (and yours) for a constitutional money bill. Americans must get out of denial. Your favorite candidate for president or Congress is NOT going to do what should have been done decades ago: Abolish the unconstitutional "Federal" Reserve Banking System. That's why the states must pass a bill in the 2013 session or they will regret it.
In my column with that working paper are several links towards the bottom.Take the time to read them and the working paper so you understand the problem. Armed with knowledge and the solution, you can then continue pounding on your state representative and senator to get the bill passed. Then put the pressure on your governor to sign it. It takes boots on the ground, not calling talk radio, watching Hannity or some other cable talk show.
If you think this is all hyperbole or paranoia, just take a look at the debt states find themselves drowning in:
Aug 28 (Reuters) - "America's 50 state governments owe $4.19 trillion, including outstanding bonds, unfunded pension commitments and budget gaps, according to a new report. At $617.6 billion, California had by far the biggest total debt, more than twice the total of No. 2, New York, with $300.1 billion owed, according to State Budget Solutions, a research and non-partisan advocacy group.
"Texas, with $287 billion owed, New Jersey, with $282.4 billion, and Illinois, with $271.1 billion, ranked next among states with the biggest total debt, according to State Budget Solutions. Vermont had the smallest debt load at $5.85 billion. The annual study said state governments had benefited in the last year from smaller budget gaps and reductions in loans taken from the federal government during the worst of the Great Recession to pay unemployment claims. Those trends helped reduce total debt, which includes medical insurance due retired government workers, from last year's $4.24 trillion of total debts owed by the 50 states, according to State Budget Solutions.
"Our states are in trouble and no amount of budget gimmicks, political posturing or hiding bills will fix the massive debt that they face," said Bob Williams, president of State Budget Solutions. "Drastic reforms, innovations and political courage are needed to put our states back on the road to fiscal survival."
I live in Texas. Thank you, Governor Ricky Perry. The guy who was in the early running for president. Of course, it's our state legislature's fault, but Perry signed the budgets and pension commitments. My state legislature and yours had better pass a constitutional money bill. If they don't, it will be doubly painful next year and at least through 2015, if not longer.

The only jobs Willard or God forbid, if the impostor president "wins", will be government jobs. I highly recommend this excellent piece by Lawrence Reed:Great Myths of the Great Depression. If you can't read it now, book mark and read over the weekend. Reed does an outstanding job explaining what happened during the "great" depression. It is the blue print the impostor president, Soetoro/Obama and his rotten, corrupt administration have followed to a T. They just changed the names of the programs, but it is history painfully repeating.

For Romney or Soetoro to say they are going to create jobs, the only legal way they can is to use the bully pulpit to get Congress to abolish the "Fed", get out of the aforementioned treaties, overturn the thousands of regulations killing businesses across this country and abolish unconstitutional cabinets and agencies and all unconstitutional spending like foreign aid and the hundreds of billions stolen from you and me to the UN, the IMF and World Bank. Think that will happen?It will also validate what I just said about government jobs. The only jobs a lawfully elected president has the authority to create come via legislation from Congress: Support staff for constitutional agencies and cabinets, the courts and military. Period.
