I Need Help…

UPDATE: So when things go wrong… The lights on my van are out and my MS is getting worse.  When I say my MS is getting worse I mean I’ll be typing and my left thumb start wagging and as I try to control it my whole hand starts then my arm etc.  I have to stop to avoid              too                     many       spaces appearing in my text. I have had small tremors since I was in my 40s but could always control them. Now my left leg has micro tremors that feel like vibrations coming up from the earth.  The fascinating thing is when I am hiking on uneven trails my leg does not bother me.  My brain sees the terrain and I am agile leaping about.  On flat surfaces like sidewalk my left leg feels heavy like I am pulling it along.  I have discovered a morning routine (about an hour or more) of yoga stretches, Qigong, Tai Chi followed by a free wight routine gets me through my day.  Replacing my camera seems further away.

I am balanced on the edge of hoping someone will read this and the dread that someone might.

It has taken me 2 days to work up the courage to announce I Need Help…… Three words that have made me feel shame, fear, embarrassment and defeat.  We are poorer than some richer than others.  If we can’t afford it we don’t buy it.   The vicious cycle of debt is always something we avoid. My beloved husband is disabled (congestive heart decease, diabetes, high blood pressure, vegus nerve implant and he recently learned he is autistic) but we are blessed everything is under control via healthy vegan diet, medication and exercise (hiking).  I am lucky to be healthy as this allows me to be a health advocate for my beloved husband.

For the past year I have been slowly using youtube videos to diagnose and repair my 1997 160,000+ miles Chrysler van.  I am proud to announce that on March 27th, 2019 I turned the key and the joyous sound of the engine turning over occurred.  I was very happy and suddenly felt an overwhelming success.  My personal health regime is hiking and photography hikeourplanet.com. These two combined help me weather the man storms of life.  A working vehicle meant we could go further afield to hike and capture Natures beauty. It was a exciting day!

Life is always a delicate balancing act and within a few hours the price for a working vehicle was revealed.  As I focused on a spectacular wildflower and pressed down to take the shot a horrific thunk sound emerged from my camera.  I knew the sound as it had happened once before. My camera is nearly 10 years old and had been previously repaired.  I did some quick math and of course my extended warranty was long expired.  It meant I no longer had a working camera.  Photography is for me one of my senses.  A reflection of how my soul sees the world.  I finished our hike in a fog of despair knowing it would take at least 18 months like 24 to save a enough for a replacement.

I Need Help…

Can you help me get another Sony alpha slt-a55 camera (my lenses only fit the slt-a55 a65 a77 etc. series camera) and the a55 is the least expensive in the series.  I am good at promoting products/businesses (vegan friendly no animal products) on Social Media and wondered if a barter could be made.  Camera replacement for 1 year of daily social media.  I have been contracted in the past to promote films, high end skin care, make up and vitamins, vegan health products, hiking gear and snacks, towels, mouth wash, shoe inserts etc. in exchange for products.

If barter is not an option could you please send a donation to help me purchase a new camera via PayPal email address.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea.
Kindest Thoughts and Wishes,

Yes Bernie Sanders Has super PACs and uses their money

The big lie in the Democrat race for the presidential nomination is Bernie Sanders Claim he does not use PAC money or have Super PACs supporting him.  Until today March 31, 2016 I believed this to be true.  Then I saw an article in USA buried on the Election 2016 page.

March 31, 2016 – USAToday – Hillary Clinton ally hits Bernie Sanders with FEC complaints

I thought okay this is just a partisan skirmish between candidates.  What caught my eye was not theat the Sanders Campaign was accepting donations over the $2700 limit but that he was accepting support from Super PACs. When I did a search for the named super PACs I found this.

March 29 2016 ADLF – ADLF FILES COMPLAINT AGAINST BERNIE SANDERS, NATIONAL NURSES UNITED AND PROGRESSIVE KICK

I was really surprised no papers or 24 hour cable news channels had not covered this.  A deeper search lead me to this article. It appears they have brushed the surface but Bernie fanatics do not care.

January 28, 2016 – The New York Times – Bernie Sanders Tops His Rivals in Use of Outside Money
“Bernie Sanders of Vermont rarely passed up a chance to bash the rising tide of money in politics, a system he said on Tuesday was “corrupt and undermining American democracy.” At many of these stops, he was accompanied by members of National Nurses United, a seven-year-old union, fanning out from a bright-red bus in matching red scrubs to corral potential Sanders votes But the union is not just busing nurses into Iowa. The union’s super PAC has spent close to $1 million on ads and other support for Mr. Sanders, the Democratic presidential candidate who has inspired liberal voters with his calls to eradicate such outside groups.”

It appears Bernie first started using PAC money to try and win the Iowa Caucus. Hillary still squeaked out a win.

November 24, 2015 –  CNN – Union super PAC helps Sanders and he won’t tell them to stop
“Bernie Sanders declined to disavow a super PAC spending money on his behalf in an interview with CNN on Monday and contradicted a statement his campaign made about the political entities he has long spoken out against.”

How has he gotten this far without being exposed for this hypocrisy?

November 18, 2015 – The Examiner – A super PAC helps Sanders after all
“Nurses United for Patient Protection, a super PAC tied to the National Nurses United union that backs Sanders, has spent over $569,000 supporting the socialist candidate, according to reports.”

December 6th, 2015 – Iowa Starting Line – Sunday Grab Bag: Boring Reporting, Bernie’s Super PAC, Chelgren Toast?
““I am the only major candidate running for president that does not have a Super PAC.”
That’s a common refrain from Bernie Sanders out on the campaign trail. However, it’s not exactly an accurate one anymore. In recent weeks several news outlets have noted how he actually is receiving some Super PAC help, specifically from the National Nurses United union that has endorsed him.”

I am suspicious about a moment before the Colorado Caucus was to start.  MSNBC or maybe CNN had a live broadcast all day from a Bernie Sanders campaign office.  For most of the day it was cheery but at about an hour before caucus time they resumed feed unexpectedly.  A woman in the background suddenly realized she was on TV and looked angry and dashed out of frame. I thought it was weird at the time. I now have to consider she might have been someone from a super PAC that is not supposed to be coordinating with the Bernie campaign.

Dear Voters Bernie Sanders is NOT a friend to Women or Children

Daily Mail Photo – Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ 1960s love life revealed

This article is not a criticism of Bernie for having a son out of wedlock.  I was a single Mom in the 80s/90s and Love my son dearly.  However, I never tried to rewrite my history by implying I had him while I was married.

Prior to his Presidential bid Bernie Sander allowed his bio to imply his son Levi was born to him and his first wife Deborah Shiling. This is NOT true. By allowing this lie to live for decades he was erasing the Mother of his child. Treating her as non-existent. Disposable. A despicable act of both cowardice and misogyny.

Susan Campbell Mott is Levi’s mother

“All reports about Sanders have previously said that Levi was the result of Sanders’ first marriage, although the name of his first wife has never before been revealed.

In its biography, CNN says his first wife’s name is ‘unavailable publicly’ and lists Levi as a child of that marriage.” (note his bio on CNN was updated with the truth after publication of this Daily Mail article).  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3155396/Bernie-Sanders-1960s-love-life-revealed-wife-woman-son-sugar-shack-home-lived-revolutionary.html

Susan Campbell Mott is Levi’s mother…

Bernie Sanders is not a warm caring man, he is a cold calculating politician. Don’t ever forget that! This is ALL about him. He is not for women or he would NOT have continued until caught by the Daily Mail to erase from history Susan Campbell Mott the mother of his ONLY biological child.
