Save Net Neutrality, copy of letter to Rep. Wu, Portland, OR
I am writing today to urge you to co-sponsor the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2008 (HR 5353). This important, bipartisan legislation protects the free-flowing Internet from blocking, censorship and discrimination by powerful phone and cable companies.
Tens of millions of Americans rely upon an open Internet in their daily lives. Our elected leaders must protect our basic right to communicate from those who want to take it from us. The legislation calls for a nationwide series of public hearings about what the future of the Internet should look like a an important step to bring these crucial issues into the light of day.
Please help in this effort by joining Reps. Markey and Pickering in support of the bipartisan Internet Freedom Preservation Act. Thank you.

The San Francisco Antiquarian Book Fair - A Way to Connect Internationally

While finalizing details to revived our Rare Books site, an antiquarian friend reminded me that tomorrow is the opening of the SAN FRANCISCO Book Fair for Antiquarian books at the San Francisco Concourse.
This year, they will have about 200 exhibitors locally and internationally. First Editions, rare manuscripts and rare books are somewhat the equivalent of Rare Art for the Bookselling industry. It takes a lot of ethics, professionalism and honesty to be in this group.
They are open from 10 AM - 7 pm and then on Sunday from 10 AM - 5 pm.
Admission is about $10.00 but with return privileges.
So if you are book enthusiasts at heart, come visit the show and experience the once in a lifetime
rare books worlds.
Books are a way for people to connect as well from different facets of SOCIETY.
Good luck to the world of rare books exhibitors.

Political Grassroots Campaigning At It's Best

Feb. 05, 2008 should be a day in history. Notwithstanding Black Month History, I think these primaries might have the greatest numbers of young voters ever in American History.
The US ECONOMY is now finally accepting the facts of recession. Yet, politics is at it's best as if it was show business' over and over advertising.
The day starts with suprisingly lines of people depositing money at a local bank. Yet, on a bus saw someone on a corner with placard saying Vote for "___________"
The phone rings as it was Stevie Wonder calling to endorse Obama. Then the streets of Mission District suddenly saw one to two cars blowing their horns with an Obama for president placard.
For a change, open the TV and it was news about John McCain having a sweep republican victory.
Finally, saw HILLARY back in New York voting together with Bill when a canvasser had to verify that she was indeed a Democrat.
Never again, will America Go to a war on terror, have an oil warlord and be in such financial shame.

Americans come next year will see a new Democratic President sits on the White House. Hopefully, it course it be http://www.hillaryclinton.com/

The lesson is fixed ourselves before we mingle with others mess and issues. Read more on my wordpress blogs at: www.wordpress.com/adleinternational

Bill Clinton, Diane and Gavin in full force today for Hillary
The Democrats were in full force today roaming Churches in California.
Bill Clinton was seen in Southern California. I watched Sen. Diane Feinstein (D) today at the 9:00 AM service the Glide United Methodist Church.
Mayor Gavin Newsom was the Phone banking center of Hillary's HQ today as well.
And yes, again and again, I don't get paid for advertising space here.
This is just a wayof showing support for Hillary win or not.
Hope people exercise their rights as there is only a few hours left for Super Tuesday.

700,000 Asians for Hillary and no Obama
My question is that it has been publicized that Hillary got the endorsement of the 700,00 strong Asians in the USA for signing the paper fighting for the rights of Asian Americans?
Yet, as an mixed racial Asian living in America, I am not aware of such issues signed by Hillary. And most importantly I am known to be a Hillary Clinton supporter without such politicking.
So my dear fellow Asian, we cannot say we would remain neutral if only Obama would only sign like Hillary.
I believe such thing is hypocrisy. The question here is who do we really believe in and support.
Our culture comes from family and belief of the positive. If we think a candidate is the best to run the country, we don't need some re-assurance. So, in which case I don't blame Obama either for not signing.
Yet it does not mean, that I will be deviating from my belief in Hillary Clinton, win or lose.
This is what we should focus. i simply believe that limited income and disabled like me struggling have more hope through a lady president.
After all, it is values not politics.
How about you?

It always takes a Heath Ledger to be understood on Loss and Depression
From Marilyn Monroe, River Phoenix to Anna Nicole Smith and now actor Heath Ledger's death has to serve as model on how someone's loss and depression to be talked about and given some attention.
It doesn't take a pathologist or histologist to go over toxicology reports' to rule out that such death's are not intentional. Neither does one's feeling of loss and depression can only be felt by the same very people who are experiencing it too.
When we tell the signs of our loss and depression through our actions but people are simply too uncaring or simply be ignored.
When you see the character of Heath, people would think he is strong, prominent and confident. Only then if you are real close and personal to the person will one understand his passion, his love, his challenges, yet his emptinesss, fear, loss and anger. After all, depression is all about our inner anger about the trauma that one has been through.
I hope that this tragic loss will once again reinforced about being misunderstood on one's asymptomatic disability.
May Heath Ledger rest in peace and may he find the peace and solice that due him all this time.

Asymptomatic Disability and Hillary Clinton

As many know, I am a die hard supporter of http://www.hillaryclinton.com/ to become president.
Through here, I would like to educate people of what "Asymptomatic Illness and Disability" means.
Many people sometimes look at people from their outside appearance.
A lot of us who look to be in good health from the outside are sometimes suffering from very serious chronic and terminal illness.
Such illnesses can be Cancer, HIV, AIDS, Leukemia just to name a few. The hardest part of the illness sometimes affects the emotional and mental repercussions that prescriptions drugs do and some are effects of the disease itself. Such emotional state might be anxiety, depression, bi-polar or even Britney Spears syndrome.
So I suggest before we prejudged someone by their physical look when they say the are asymptomatically disabled, I suggest we think twice.
The Universal Health Care system in America is broken. The only person that is highly intellectual enough to understand this is my ally, Hillary Clinton.
And yes, this is why you don't see me physically rally with Hillary because of having to suffer asymptomatic disability.

Civil Rights of People with Disabilities
Civil Rights of People with Disabilities
In the last few weeks, I had been ill and I apologize for my readers fot not being able to post online.
I am thankful to some friends for taking care of me and for even posting this. I am aware of the importance of staying in touch but as some of you have known not when I am extremely sick will I not have the determination to touch base.
I wrote this post on paper and someone had to help me post it online. I am touched with the reminder of Martin Luther King when I was brought to church yesterday. It was also a eventful Sunday having Chelsea Clinton as our visitor in Glide United Methodist Church.
Glide has been a personal refuge to me even when I first move to San Francisco for daily meals.
Not all people online have all the material wealth that life has to offer. But then again, on the internet, I on the thinking that everyone is the same rich, poor and even disabled.
Sometimes, it tiring when one receives so much harrassment over money and credit issues especially on the state of the economy today.
But there are resources that a disbled person can tap as we do have civil rights.
I have found this out recently and one would be amaze how people violate the civil rights of people with disabilities.
I can't really do much writing being currently frail. But, I thought I touched base to my readers.
Don't let people exploit the circumstances of illness and disability.

Alliance Title closes in California
Alliance Title Group, a division of the Mercury Group closes it's doors for the employees just before christmas.
Sounds like familiar to small online sellers being booted out in certain marketplaces. Of course, the big wigs will create all the reasons in the world.
So being self employed as market place retailer is just something similar to the Alliance Title story of suddenly closing it's doors.
For all you know, the bigwigs are also preparing to close. Good luck to their invetsors though. Stocks are steadily going down. But it's up for the people to think who these big wigs are?
Small but surviving and thriving
Karma always goes back, careful!

Today is Nov. 16, Black Friday weekend - 6 days before Thanksgiving!
www.adleinternational.com
Payday Friday yet Black Friday weekend before Thanksgiving.
Today is the last day to get the super deals out there for your christmas shopping.
As expected, right after Thanksgiving you'll see the prices go up due to the coming Christmas. It is just the way it is through the years.
I believe that as information dessiminators, we have a obligation to remind people to get the super deals when you can.
So, good luck!
