But Mr. Johnson also clearly has his own agenda. Staff members on Capitol Hill credit him with playing a pivotal role in 2002 in pushing members of Congress, including Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, to allocate $750 million over five years for juvenile diabetes research. Mr. Johnson’s oldest daughter, Casey, has Type 1 diabetes, and he has given millions to the search for a cure.
“We sat down and talked a couple times,” said Mr. Hastert, who added that he and Mr. Johnson had bonded over football. “He made a very good case that by investing U.S. dollars, we could actually save money.”
Mr. Johnson, who has another daughter with the autoimmune disease lupus and raised millions for that cause, also met with President Bush in the White House to push for embryonic stem-cell research, a meeting Mr. Johnson believes might have helped Mr. Bush to compromise in his policy and still allow federal financing for research on existing stem-cell lines.
Silence! and preserve respectful distance.
For I perceive approaching
The Rock. Who will perhaps answer our doubtings.

The Witness. The Critc. The Stranger.
The God-shaken, in whom is the truth inborn.
has anybody brought this up? it's a movie worth seeing especially if you're a paranoid conspiracy theorist. hey, who's to say it's not possible? POW brainwashed to start a nuclear war once elected president.
Report: Turkey Sandwiches An Excellent Source Of Turkey Sandwiches
CHICAGO—Turkey sandwiches, long suspected of being a rich source of turkey sandwiches, were found to contain a substantial amount of turkey sandwich in every bite, the Food and Drug Administration reported Monday. "While traces of turkey sandwich can be found in other foods, such as turkey, bread, mayonnaise, or turkey-and-ham sandwiches, only turkey sandwiches contain 100 percent turkey sandwich," the report read in part. "In addition, eating a turkey sandwich a day is proven to help reduce the risk of not eating turkey sandwiches. This is great news for the 12 million Americans who aren't currently getting enough turkey sandwich." The report noted that turkey sandwiches are no longer considered to be a good source of hot dogs.

The simple reason for that is because there is no money for it!The least Rivkah Devora deserves is to be remembered in a dignified manner. A stone incl. shipping and installation etc cost several thousand $$. If you would like to contribute or know of someone who might be interested in helping please contact us. Details on how to get money to the right place without invading people's privacy etc. is still being worked out. Possibly there will be a paypall button soon. In the mean time please get to work and put together money. We got $600 so far. Way more is needed. This is chesed shel emes. A kindness for which you will not receive a thank you note from the soul you did it for. You won't even get a thank you note from the relatives for then it won't be chesed shel emes. Hoping to hear from you soon!
