PETITION

Dear friends,

I wanted to let you know about a new petition I created on We the People, a new feature on WhiteHouse.gov, and ask for your support. Will you add your name to mine? If this petition gets 25,000 signatures by November 25, 2011, the White House will review it and respond!
We the People allows anyone to create and sign petitions asking the Obama Administration to take action on a range of issues. If a petition gets enough support, the Obama Administration will issue an official response.

You can view and sign the petition here:

Here's some more information about this petition:

prevent large corporations like AT&T from firing senior employees (I was fired for sickness) to avoid pensions/health care!

Large corporations, such as AT&T, are getting rid of their senior employees by firing and making them leave for unjust reasons. I was fired, after 20+ years, for sickness and they turn around and say it was because 'I did not return during an unapproved absence.' All three of my doctors advised against going back to work and spoke with AT&T by phone and faxed medical documents. They claim they had no knowledge of my sickness. The driving force behind this is to avoid paying me a larger pension and health care as was negotiated in our union contract for my job title. Now they hire people under a different job title 'SERVICE CONSULTANT' with no pension and no benefits. IBEW LOCAL 21 went along with this under the guise of it saved jobs BUT it did not...it lowered the quality of jobs.

I worked with a management team.. that I had no idea how they tied their shoes in the morning everyday.

Does anyone know what this is?

OR where it came from? I know that it is NOT the santa from RANKIN/BASS' SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN...not sure where it came from. Looks like air brush touch up that went terribly wrong. Many people have also emailed me about JUSTIN BIEBER being inserted into the RANKIN/BASS classic TV Special via a poor man's CGI. I have not watched it...I saw a still frame from the video and that was enough.

We wish Andy Williams well!

...my mom called today and said they reported on the NEWS that he has bladder cancer...We wish him well!

BURR TILSTROM'S KUKLA, FRAN and OLLIE...Here we go again!










Amongst many of my early childhood TV memories is KUKLA, FRAN and OLLIE :) They were still going strong in the late 1960's and early 1970's....so were many other puppet shows like GARFIELD GOOSE & FRIENDS, B.J. & DIRTY DRAGON, etc. This is probably why I love puppets so much!
