Americans Are Sending Washington A Message, Why Don't They Get It?

The American people are showing up to town hall meetings all over the country in numbers never before seen in our history. Why? To send a strong message to Washington. Does anyone in Washington know what that message is? They don't. The administration along with it's supporters, including the majority
of the main stream media, are too busy insulting American citizens with claims of Racism, Mobs, Nuts, Swastika wearing Nazi's, Astro turf organizations and many other claims. These kinds of derogatory remarks are just adding fuel to the fires of freedom loving Americans all over the country.
 
The opposition, including the Obama administration and the main steam media continue to disregard the messages of these grassroots movements with claims they have nothing to do with the Health care reform bill. What the opposition doesn't understand, doesn't get, or just plain ignores because they are blinded by their own socialist agenda, is that the American people are fed up with big Government invading our lives and telling us what we want rather than asking us what we want.
 
The American people have one simple message, just put in many different forms, if only those opposed would take the blinders off and ear plugs out, they would hear that simple message. Leave our freedoms alone.
 
All you hear from the media with exception of Fox News, is that these people don't want change or don't understand the necessity of Health care reform. What they don't understand about this uprising, is that it's not just about Health care anymore. The American people do want reform contrary to what the media says. Reform needs to come in the form of insurance companies finding ways to save their customers money and they need help by the Government.
 
Open up state borders to initiate stronger competition, put a cap on law suit claims, implement counter punishments to those who bring frivolous law suits to cut down on claims and court costs, mandate laws requiring acceptance of preexisting conditions, fix the current problems with medicare and medicaid. These are a few examples of what the people really want to see happen.
 
When the Government can't clearly explain how to pay for this new Health care bill, but in some cases says it won't cost anything while the CBO claims it will be well over a Trillion dollars. One claim is to stop fraud and waste in the current  programs. Shouldn't that be done anyway? The fact that the cost estimate for the current Government programs were off by approximately nine times the amount and If history repeats itself, and it usually does, the cost could sky rocket to over thirteen trillion dollars in the next ten years.
 
It's very clear to those who who are responsible Americans trying to bring our country back to the level it was intended when we first declared our Independence from the British crown 233 years ago. We elected these people to act responsibly on out behalf and not fill their own agenda by voting on things they were told, was in our best interest. People do want change, they do want reform of the Health care, but not in the hand of a complete Government take over, masked with lies and deceit. Contrary to what the elected officials believe, the American people are not stupid, and will not tolerate insubordination any longer.

Trying to follow a photoshop tutorial and I'm stuck--please help!?

I just created a Curves Adjustment Layer above another layer and it's telling me to "check the box that's marked 'Use Previous Layer to Create a Clipping Mask'". I've looked everywhere and I can't find the box. I have the CS4 program, so maybe it's different, or maybe I'm just blind? How can I locate and check this box?

Wow, I just learned something new from Ralphus' answer. I'm guessing you have been adding your adjustment layers from the bottom of the layer palette - when you do that, the Previous Layer option does not show up. However, aside from using the Layer --> New Adjustment Layer pulldown, you can also create the adjustment layer in the layer palette, then right click on it and select Create Clipping Mask for the same effect.

This is a Center for Data Analysis Report On Labor
Abstract: Salaries and benefits—for identical jobs—are 30 percent to 40 percent higher in the federal government than in the private sector. Claims that this dramatic discrepancy in compensation is warranted because of government workers’ high skills are unjustified, as this study shows.
