I agree with you 100%.  We must unite and fight those that oppose this manmade hell.  It will continue long after I'm gone.  I would of loved to see my fathers retirement with my mother and family.  It didn't happen and it won't.  The government is too busy blowing up countries and rebuilding, taxing us for working, then tax our checks BEFORE we receive them then taxing us again when we spend what little is left!!

I will oppose Bill 852, if you are a true American you will too!  There is probably someone out of all American families that have been or will be affected by this in some sort of way.  Nobody is immune not matter your income!!!  I have filed a claim with Celotex and filed before they went bankrupt.  I don't know what is going to become of it, but I would of loved to watch my father grow old and happy verses the hell he and my family went through and are still going through but the greedy grow-richer politicians, as we all know will have no worries so they think someone very close to them will be affected, just a matter of time.

No amount of money could replace what was lost it's the principle, hoping they take responsibility in that they have profited from the misery of others!!!!  We should be thinking about now, past and present day....and for the future of all mankind.  Keep up the journey and may we all be heard.

SINCERELY, CATHIE SHIRLEY
