Voting Question: With today's SCOTUS ruling, will non-citizens now have the ability to elect our government for us?

For example, does Honda now have enough influence (as they certainly have the budget) to elect a Senator from a state in which they are looking for cheap land to build a new factory? Will BP now elect our Governors...perhaps the ones from Alaska, Oklahoma and Texas? After all, those two indeed have a large presence and offices in the US, do they not? Perhaps the Bank of China electing our Presidents soon? True, no presence in the US quite yet...but quite possibly in the future, indeed. A question also if I may to those who state that they prohibition is only on advertisement for a political candidate of their choice (and bidding): aren't you the same people who said the government is evil and - once presented with a new law - will take it and expand it ad infinitum? So please tell me: what makes the corporations, flush with money, any different? Did you enjoy how they played with - and lost - your money? Perhaps you were overjoyed when they fired you without reason? Or maybe you relished the fact that they about brought our economy to its knees? Indeed, how can you say that the government will grab power and never relinquish it...when the big corporations do the exact same thing? So...will foreign companies with a presence in the US be "helping" us elect our politicians soon? Or more correctly should the term be "plutocrats"?Bethy: "They only said corporations can give money not that they did not have to report it" Oh? Please tell me exactly where that is written as law? Also:"If you dont like it vote with your VOTE". Oh once again? What effect will a common citizen's measly vote have against a corporation whose directors have more than one vote (a vote as a citizen...and the more powerful vote: that of cold, hard cash). Since the "common" citizens have lost a good amount of their voting power today, all I will say is: I wish my voted still actually counted for something.MichaelL: "The ruling actually underscores freedom of speech". Now that is funny...just how did you arrive at such a decision? Fox doesn't have free reign to broadcast non-news? And regarding those you seem to think had access (i.e. unions, etc.) while others did not: so instead of reforming a system that is flawed currently, you are in favor of opening the flood gates to all now, making the situation much, much worse? more

Resolved Question: NO POLICE REPORT,, NO INSURANCE AT THE TIME, PLEASE HELP..!?

My husband was involved in an accident in December, he had just bought a truck owner to owner and did not have liability on it yet. The accident occured in a bank parking area where he was parked and was on his way out on reverse and the other person was speeding and my husband hit the side of the back of her car. It wasn't anything big, only small damages to her car and basically if you can say nothing happened to his truck. The police arrived but he didn't file a police report on the accident, he only gave my husband a ticket for no insurance. The lady wanted to settle this with my husband directly but her husband on the phone recommended she not do so. Well, now the big problem is here. Her insurance (ALLSTATE) is sending us letters that state that if they find him liable he may be obligated to pay them directly. I talked to them yesterday and they said so far the costs have been $1,499 including a car she rented, and that's not it, they're going to sue him for no insurance plus a deductible, plus any other cost that may come forth, that's easily a total of more than $2,000, easily. I told ALLSTATE that I could buy two cars with that amount. My questions are, why are they already charging us when there isn't even a police report on the accident, they don't even know for sure who was at fault, and what can I do about this. This amount is ridiculous, seriously it wasn't even a big accident, no big damages were made to the car. I could have easily taken care of the costs in fixing that and I'm sure it wouldn't even have gotten up to $1500 !!!! Please help me, I've already tried talking to two attorneys but they said they don't handle these type of cases, only ones where injuries are involved !!! PLEASE HELP HELP HELP!!! I LIVE IN TEXASHIS FAULT??????? The woman even admitted it was part her fault because she was speeding at a parking area. more

Resolved Question: Does proof of retirement income suffice as a proof of income for getting into an apartment?

Hi All! I am writing this as a question for a dear retired friend of mine. She has recently relocated to Austin, Texas and lives off of her State of California retirement income as well as her Social Security. We were getting her situated in an apartment, providing details of the retirement pay( which mind you is almost 4 times the monthly rent... and the apartment complex staff is demanding that she show bank information because they are titling her as UNEMPLOYED! Although she is UNEMPLOYED, she is RETIRED and receives more than enough income to pay the rent (x4). Is there a way that we can provide retirement income as a proof of income, this just doesn't seem fair! Her bank account balance isn't all that high because she moved from california where almost the entire retirement pay was put towards outrageous rent, can they base it off of solely her bank account average balance!!?!?! more

Resolved Question: Boise State is whining that they didn't get a BCS bid?

While Asker is not a fan of any of the two college teams in contention in the Fiesta Bowl nor for the two teams in the upcoming BCS Championship Bowl, but why is there so much belly aching coming from Boise State that they were shafted again by the BCS? Q's: ♦ It's not like Boise St. is being mistreated by the BCS-stats/records system, correct? ♦ EVERY TEAM gets funneled through it's data-bank, correct? ♦ Have there not been other undefeated teams in the past that have also been looked-over/passed-up by the BCS system in years past? ♦ What do the Broncos' fans want... .. . a trip to the Super Bowl for 'effin out loud? ♦ If Asker is not mistaken, Texas Longhorns, Alabama, and TCU Horned Toads/Frogs are ALSO undefeated? <~~~ are all of their fans crying like the Boise St. fans? I say just have a big playoff-a-la-NFL, to have one team stand victorious in the end. < JUST MY OPINION.

Resolved Question: Do I have a case? Will hiring a lawyer make a difference to the insurance co?

In a nutshell: I am threatening to sue an accountant and investor regarding a real estate deal between the investor and I that went bad. I wrote an initial letter (not shown) threatening a lawsuit which they turned over to their insurance agent. The insurance agent then wrote me requesting information (her letter is on the bottom). I then wrote the insurance agent a more detailed letter which I have not sent but appears below. I'm wondering about the following: A. Is this worth putting my time into? Do I have a case, or even if I don't, might the insurance agent, or the parties settle out of court to avoid a costly court case? Important note: There are lots of e-mails, but we never signed a written agreement between us regarding the profits of the house and what I should get (see below). B. Can I file the case in any state, or does it have to be Texas? (the two parties live and signed in California), I myself was overseas the whole time. C. Would hiring a lawyer (not really cost effective for this small amount) make a difference? Here is the letter: Dear Ms. Sanchez, I am writing this letter to explain the circumstances regarding my claim. Mr. Murray Marks and Mr. Ron Glass approached me in 2008 about using my name and credit history to help them to draw some further cash out a property located at 7017 Tocken Court, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78414. Apparently, they were both in serious financial trouble. Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks have been financial partners for many years together, and have vast experience in the area of real estate and own numerous properties. In this particular deal, Mr. Marks acted as the accountant. Mr. Glass acted as the investor who sold me the property. Both Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks were also partners in this deal as well. For example, Mr. Glass bought this house from a business connection, Scott Cohen, who then sold it to Murray Marks, who then turned around and sold it back to Mr. Glass. They were both investors in the LLC that they formed and were working together. They are in constant communication even up to the present. I am 51 years old, but I have never owned a home in the U.S. I have been a permanent resident of a Middle Eastern country since 1994, and know nothing about the real estate industry in the U.S. I have never been to Texas and had no motivation to own a home there, especially one with no equity in it, and especially at this point in my life when I am in serious financial difficulties and have been threatened by my creditors with prison over here. I initially entered into this agreement with both Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks because they were my friends, their advanced ages led me to respect them both, and they had huge experience in real estate. In addition, they told me that they would split 50% of the proceeds from the profit on the house with me to help me out of my own financial situation. They also said that they would set up a fund to take care of the mortgage payments and that we would split any problems that might arise such as repairs. Both Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks instructed me to advance money towards the house. This was supposed to be for repairs and the loan paperwork for the house, as well as to help settle the financial difficulties of Mr. Glass. Both assured me that, when the house was sold, they would return the money I had advanced to Mr. Glass. This amounted to about 8,000 dollars as is documented in e-mails between the three of us. Mr. Marks and I calculated the correct amount and were more or less in agreement; however, Mr. Glass refused to acknowledge that any money was owed. He gave me verbal reasons for this in e-mail, but none were based on any records, bank statements, or bills that could be verified. In contrast, all of the funds that I forwarded to him were documented, and the financial records of Mr. Marks and Mr. Glass will bear this out if they would open these records and e-mails for inspection. In terms of how I was harmed, first, and as was stated above, Mr. Glass never returned any of the money to me that I had advanced him for the home or as loans. Second I have incurred losses due to having to shoulder the mortgage from this house on my own, after Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks had said that they would set up a fund to ensure that there would be money for monthly payments. Third, Mr. Glass and Mr. Marks promised me that I would get 50% of any of the profits on the sale of this house after they had the house independently re-appraised. Mr. Marks never signed a letter of engagement with me, but he acted as my financial advisor. In reality of fact, he acted as my representative, as well as Mr. Glasses. He represented himself as my accountant and explained that the deal would actually be to all of our benefit and that he would oversee the whole transaction. Mr. Glass, for his part, also advised me on other financial matters as well. Throughout this real estat more

Resolved Question: Craigslist check scam (again)?

so, i got a check from somebody on craigslist that is obviously not real. my question is... who is the scammer? the person who sent the check (someone from "North View, CA") or the person i am supposed to wire the "difference" to (someone is Sarasota, FL) and... can you send something via UPS without putting your real city/state, or would they stop you? basically, could "Mark Figenbaum" from Florida send me the check through UPS, trying to act like he is from a local zip code to gain my trust. also, the check came from somewhere in texas, so could the real guy be in texas, or he just put some random state and bank on the check? http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/leasbored/100_0488.jpg anyway, is there any way to track who the scammer is, before he takes advantage of anyone? more

Resolved Question: Why are there a lot of Malinchistas here?

They are always talking bad about Mexicans and they are Mexican... WHy do you blame Mexicans for their own problems. We don't cause our problems...they come to us....Gringos are to blame.... Did we invade France or did France invade us? THink about it... Did we ever try to start a war (no the wars came to us) Mexico would be a great country if it wasn't for the U.S. Mexico ended slavery in Texas before the U.S. Texas was a slave state after they took it away from us... Mexico legalized homosexuality in the late 1800s...sodomy (anal sex) was allowed and homosexual was not a mental disease as was in the US until the late 1900s...The last state Texas to legalize homosexuality was Texas in 2003 (YES 2003). There are more homosexuals in Mexico and people are more open minded in Mexico about homosexuality than the U.S. (yes most state in the U.S. are homophobic, just b/c you live in California does not mean anything)... Indigenous societies in the South and North Mexico (not the Aztecs) were open about sexual diversity... Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz spoke for womens rights way before the gringo woman did... Indigenous people were more open about womens rights than the Europeans... El Yanga (the West African Prince) in the port of Veracruz was the first African to unite against slavery and started a free colony in the 1600s in the state of Veracruz...Indios and Africans unite to fight against Spanish imperialism.. Also, lets talk about the success about the Revolution and the nationalization of Mexican products from PRI. Mexico became a model for nationalism and socialist democracy after the Revolution... The U.S. and European countries would start screwing over Mexicans again in the 1980s (with the debt that was impossible to pay off due to their social position in the world bank, yes social position). The U.S. is in more debt than Mexico but the Swiss allow the U.S. to become more in-debt because of that social connection (you know the White pride thing) .... You people need to stop blaming yourselves and your ancestors....it was them who did this to us.... more

Resolved Question: Nebraska gets exempt forever from paying it's share of medicaid. Is that really fair to the other 49 states?

It's the game we all pay for called the healthcare giveaways - Billions to Senators to get them to vote YES on Obamacare. Senator Ben Nelson said he had his concerns over the Abortion language, but they bought his vote with an exemption to Nebraska from ever having to pay it state's share of the medicaid cost from the expanded medicaid coverage under Obamacare. Now is that fair to the other 49 states who are also facing the same unfunded mandate? Why shouldn't Arkansas' senator demand the same deal or California yeah California has big budget problems. Why not exempt all states with at least one democrat senator? That way you can buy every democrat senator and leave those pesky Republican Senators high and dry if there is 2 of them from the same state like Texas. Why don't we just offer to pay the budget shortfalls for all states with two democrat senators like California? Why not hold out??? Come on the American people have barely begun to be fleeced and this way you can stick to the "red" states and repay the "blue" states!!! Isn't this fun.... Are you ready to play the Senate give away game ... there's plenty of money the printing presses are at full bore. See the Federal Reserve prints the money and "loans" it to banks at ZERO percent interest. Banks then turn around and buy Treasury bonds from the U.S. government for 3% guaranteed interest. So the Fed prints it launders it through the banks and gives it to the Federal Government with interest and Obama complains the "Fat Cats" won't lend money to the "risky" small business owner when he knows they are buying government bonds at guaranteed interest. So are the other 49 states and 98 senators going to sit back and take the Nebraska free pass forever clause in Obamacare just to get it done??? more

Resolved Question: Recieved random check in the mail for high dollar amount.?

So today is my eighteenth birthday, and today I recieved a check for $2,600. The check is from a company called Dinner's Served, INC., in Richmond, TX. I live in Utah. I have never heard of this company. I looked it up online, and it is a catering service in Texas. The check is real, and when I took it into my bank to see if I could deposit it, the bank verified it was real by checking the florcensent fibers and water stains. They told me not to deposit it until I find out what it is for. In the memo, it states Pay By Cash. I recieved it through UPS, they had to pay for it to be shipped. There was only the check in the envelope, nothing else. It was made to me, and they have my PO Box and home address. It was made to my maiden name. The thing is, on the address on the envelope, it has an address from Las Vegas, NV. Obviously I am really confused. I have the companys phone number and plan on calling them in the morning, but I am curious if this could be a scam or something else. The account was real. If you think you can help, please do.

As with every divorce, there's a long story behind why my parents are getting theirs. However, their divorce isn't going to affect me much aside from leaving the town I live in to attend college. I am a Junior in high school, and I already know where I want to go to college and what I want to do with my life. This college is the University of Texas, or at least Austin Community College first and then move up. I live in the military town of Killeen, which is an hour north. My question with all of this is if my parents divorce, I may have to leave with one of them to wherever they choose to live. So at 16 [going to be 17 by the time any of this goes into effect], what can I do for my own placement in the state of Texas and what financial aid for college can I apply for? Asking the military for any dependency college funds will be out of the question by the time I'm able to ask for it Senior year. My mother works as a mere teller at a bank and my already step-father is a military officer. Once they divorce, I'm more than likely to live with my mother who will not be financially well. So what can I do so I can finish high school at my own and go to college successfully? I want to leave their problems behind me. more

Resolved Question: Tampering with government document?

A friend of mine in Texas went to open a bank account with an expired Drivers license (hers) that had been tampered with to make it seem still valid. The bank employee called the cops and subsiquently she got arrested. I understand its a violation under the Texas penal code 37.10. My question is what is the worst charge she could be hit with that is a Class A, B, C misdemeanor or a state jail felony? since it was her Id and it was just expired is it still considered "intent to defraud"? finally if she states another friend was the one who tampered with the DL what charges if any could or would be filled against that friend. Mind you this is her only offense ever not even a traffic ticketThat is what I was hoping for Shogun ... my main issue is the fact that it was tampered with; that's what the charge is or am I mistaken more

Resolved Question: Are we going into a one world government or coming out from under it?

1. China, India, the MidEast, and Russia were bit players or non-existent financial entities until the 1990's. India proved today that it is a major player in the gold market by single-handedly blasting the players who have been holding down the gold price for years. China, for all of its internal problems, is now the big kid on the block. Russia can crush Europe without firing a shot. All they have to do is to turn a few valves on various pipelines, and Europe grinds to a halt in the dead of winter. I don't think that any of these guys will quietly kneel down to an English-speaking world government. They want to make their own voices heard and accumulate as much power as possible. 2. We have already had a one-world currency: the soon-to-falter dollar. The Bretton Woods agreements after WWII basically set up the dollar as a gold-equivalent, but Nixon crapped on that parade when he slammed the gold window shut on Charles DeGaulle's bony fingers. What we are seeing now is not the birth of a new one-world currency, but rather the death of a faded fiat currency whose handlers are intent on inflating it away in order to retain their elusive power for a few more weeks or days. If there is to be a new one-world currency, it will have a nice shiny yellow color. Most central banks have now stopped selling gold and are intent on restocking their gold stores. No other fiat currency can fill the dollar void, and I don't believe that anyone will take seriously any new fiat currency that is issued without a solid gold backing. Fiat is so 20th century. 3. We have already had a one-world government: the wishes and demands of the United States. Everywhere we go, we insist on setting up naval or airforce bases, essentially occupying every country in the world except for a handful. When the Chinese invade Africa or South America, they build schools and hospitals and offer to trade in the local currency. The paradigm has shifted, and the old world government is on the way out. The new regime will be diversified, not centralized. The League of Nations and the United Nations were earlier attempts at centralized one-world government, and both organizations failed to hold up their ends of the bargain. 4. The climate change treaty due to be signed next month has been viewed by some to be the harbinger of a new world government, but look at the countries who have refused to sign it: China and India. How is any world organization going to force those two countries to succumb to such assinine demands? How do you force China to do anything it refused to do? Nobody has any leverage whatsoever over them. They may have a tiny economy when compared to the United States, but they have so much inertia that, to move them in any direction is akin to moving an aircraft carrier with a rowboat: ain't gonna happen, no matter how much we "hope" we can "change" them. How can you have a one-world government when 25 percent of the population brushes off the new Powerz-dat-be? 5. Will the good folks in the Great Republic of Texas, or our "friend", Hugo Chavez, or the North Korean nutjob even consider for one second the possibility of submitting to some out-there one-world government? I think not. With so much dissention, not to mention outright snubbing, how can any centralized government succeed? My conclusion is that we have already experienced a one-government, one-currency system, and it is now falling apart, leaving the way clear for a myriad of local sovereign governments to come to the fore. Gold is the once and future universal currency, and, unfortunately for us, the United States will lose its top-dog status. " more

Resolved Question: My credit card company is suing me. How much can they really do?

I owe them $2000, $1000 being interest. They offered a settlement plan of cutting the interest off and splitting the payments in 2, which would be perfect if I could afford to do it. They won't offer any other type of payment plan, such as over a longer period of time, so that I can actually come up with the money. I was just wondering, if they sue me and win, how much can they actually do? I know in the state of texas they can't garnish my wages, I have no possessions for them to take because I don't own anything of value, I have no money in the bank, and I cash my checks at the bank my employer uses. I'm literally completely broke and I only make about enough to cover gas, phone, and car. more

Resolved Question: Counteroffer made by hand on the copy of my original offer, help!?

I made an offer on a property. The seller made a counter offer a day after the 3 day time period I gave them to respond. (BUT anyway) The sellers agent took my original offer in which I signed, made all the changes to it by hand -with an ink pen (which I do not like the counteroffer and will be refusing regardless) and had the seller initial and sign it. If you didn't know any better this document would appear as if it was a counter offer signed by both parties, even though my signature was applied to the document only when I signed it as the original offer. What do you guys think? Is this normal, does this sound weird, send red flags up to you? Please advise! My plan is to email my agent (whom I am not happy with) after I visit the bank to cancel the check for my earnest money of $1,000 then email him that I am not going to accept this offer what so ever and negotiations are over and I am walking away. At a minimum the sellers agent appears unprofessional or ill prepared, and I don't feel my interests are being represented very well by my agent. FYI - I am in the state of Texas, and there is no place to put a date where the signatures go on this document. The sellers disclosure notices are not properly filled out, there are even entire sections left blank! Even the additional notices to the buyer is completely blank, but they say I am suppose to sign this (blank) and return it if I want to accept? (which I will not) Just as a legal document alone it's amazing how sloppy and unprofessional it appears.eric m, Thank you for your response. This form is a TREC standard 1 to 4 residential contract. There is no place for ANY date that I can tell. Perhaps the evidence of date is via fax or email transmission. And an offer needs to be signed before it it sent to the perspective seller. I take exception to the fact that they had scribbled all over it, among some other shady things that were not mentioned because it is not specific to this question. Signing a offer is standard. It isn't an offer without my initials or signature. But what I question how the counteroffer was done. I don't care if it was to make changes more noticeable or not. (with pen marks) I have purchased real estate before and never ran into this previously even though some ppl claim that it is normal. more

Resolved Question: Why do Liberals think Capitalism works with government Intervention?

Capitalism doesn't require government intervention. When you force companies for example, to pay for useless measures. Like workers comp, unions, licenses, permits, and so fourth. (It all adds up and becomes too expensive) You drive their incentive to be in America. It even happens inside of America from state to state. California is too expensive to have a factory in because it's so die hard liberal with Unions and Workers Comp. So they all move to Texas. Ask anyone that works for a major payroll company that knows taxes well. They will tell you this. The more you restrain Capitalism, the more it turns into a monopoly, the more it shifts. If you let it be free and open. Competition will always arise, someone will always want to be better then what the status qou is. The best example of this is Fast Food. It's so diverse, so many choices it's a very competitive industry. The best example of government intervention that ruined a free market would be oil companies and banks. If Banks where not forced to give bad loans (CRA), or had so many hard regulations that restrict growth, you would have many small banks forming. Instead with massive regulations, small banks can't afford to compete, so very few survive. Oil Companies are the same way, how can anyone start an oil company or even drill oil if it's impossible to drill. If oil could be drilled any where, it would be very competitive. Anyone could enter the market, you could pump oil out of your own backyard if you sat on it. Farmers in the midwest can probably get oil out from under their corn farms. Yet even those areas are restricted. You can't have massive government regulation, and expect the free market to function. Less options, results in less opportunity. Which is why jobs go over seas.If you want Unions and workers to have administrative ability in the work force. That's socialism. Look up the definition. I can't sugar coat reality for you. If you like socialism that's your thing. You can't have both systems. It's either socialism or not.Guy: Sigh, another small picture liberal.Jean Luc Picard: Lol I love how you use children. Who is more responsible for the child, the parent or society? Was FDR's Child Labor regulation common sense, or lack of proper parenting?R.I.P. GOP: LOL Texas has the most poverty? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#States Rated by Crime http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_GDP_(nominal) States by GDP, tell me why Texas is #2KO the Con's: Name me an industry that collapsed 100% that didn't have government intervention. Banks you can't use, because they got bailed out, have massive regulations, and where forced to give bad loans (CRA). Can't use Oil Companies since they're restricted on where they can drill. They're put in a choke hold and can't compete fairly. Go ahead and try. more

Resolved Question: Should I rent an apartment?

Okay, I am just wanting some clarification... should I rent an apartment or should I stay put at home? I'm 18, in college and want to become more independent and less reliant of my parents (because with reliance comes control). I have a job at a grocery store and make $7.50 an hour (I live in Texas with no state income tax if that helps. Also no labor dues) and will probably have a room-mate who works at another grocery store (makes around the same as me. I think 7.45). We both have around $1000 in bank accounts. The apartment we are looking at has rent set at $450 for the floor plan that we both like the most. It's not that far from college (just take a freeway). We've toured it and seen it and really like it. I'm just wondering whether we could be financially stable in our apartment or run into problems. We'd both be willing to work 40 hours a week if it meant having secure finances.It's a community college. No student housing. more

Voting Question: Attn. Legal Eagles, Is it legal for my divorce attorney to have my settlement check sent to her office?

I live in Texas and I was awarded a buy-out settlement from the house my ex and I owned together. The Final Divorce Decree states that a check for $1500.00 be "Made out to me solely" and sent to "My home address" which is listed on the decree under the "Recipients Address" this is a legal document. The payments started on June 2009, and since that date my Divorce Attorney has had the check sent to her office, she then sends me a letter advising me (more like threatening me) to come to her office to endorse the check over to her to pay the legal fees due to her. Is it legal for her to have a check made out to me, NOT HER, and sent to her office to intercept before I get it? The address where the check is supposed to be sent is on a Legal Document. She is bullying me into giving her half the check each month, and literally drives me to the bank to get me to cash it and give her the money! Is this legal behavior? Or protocol? more

Resolved Question: will I be arrested during court for a traffic warrant and a pending case?

I got in a bit of trouble a few months ago.. I was caught stealing at my local mall.. I pleaded guilty and did 2 weeks in jail. I got caught stealing again in august of this year.. I still haven't gone to court for this one. Anyways, I went to my courthouse last thursday to get my paperwork/court date and I was arrested because I had a warrant for theft by check..(a 3rd completely different case) The judge agreed to release me on a "PR" bond as long as I agreed to appear in court tomorrow(on Monday) I looked myself up on the county website and saw that I had 2 outstanding traffic warrants as of july 2009. This never came up when I was arrested in the courthouse on thursday.. Will it come up tomorrow during my pre trial/arrainment hearing? On the website, my name was misspelled.. Maybe that's why its not showing up? But then again, the theft by check warrant had my name misspelled also and they arrested me. Also, I did not write those checks.. My identity was stolen when I was a kid.. I was in foster care and I had immigrant parents and they stole my info.. I have proof from the bank that states it wasn't me.. So I think it'll be dismissed.. Do you think I will have my PR bond revolked tomorrow because of my other pending theft case and the other already on my background? These are all misdemeanors. I live in Texas btw.. And please, I know what I did wrong.. I don't need you to tell me what I did was stupid. I just want to know what to expect tomorrow. Thanks everyone. One more thing.. The baliff at the court told me to bring $250 on Monday when I show up to court.. Do you know why? I thought it would be a fee for the checks but im going to plead not guilty and then show my bank paperwork..so I shouldn't have to pay unless I plead guilty. Also, I got a paper that says the court is charging court fees immediatley after I plead.. Is this why I was told to bring the money? Im just confused. Please give me some info on stuff I should know before I go into court tomorrow. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Will I be arrested for theft by check during court?

Hi, I went into my courthouse on Thursday to set up a court date.. When I was asked if I wanted a public attorney, I said yes and met with a case worker. After my meeting, the case worker told me that I had a "theft by check" warrant. I denied ever writing any bad checks.. Since I was already at the county courthouse, a baliff came down to pick me up.. He took me to his floor and told me there was a warrant for 6 checks that totaled $497.00. I told him I never wrote anything and he said I would need to pay or go to jail. After a while, he made a few calls and was able to release me on a "PR" bond. He scheduled a court for this Monday, October 26, 2009. My question is, will I be arrested as soon as I show up for court on Monday? Also, the bank account(wells fargo) was opened fraudulently under my name in 2007. I actually went into wells fargo to open a bank account in August because of a promotion my college had. That is where I found out that the account was opened. I reported it and the bank allowed me to open the bank account because there was enough proof to show that I did not open the previous account..(My name was misspelled, it was registered under an address in a different state.) After I explained this to the officer, he released me and told me to bring $250 and my paperwork from my bank on Monday. I went to the bank, they told me that they would not have paperwork in time for Monday.. I have no idea what to do.. The court order says that an attorney is not required.. It also says pre trial/arraignment.. I don't know what to expect... are they going to arrest me? what do you recommend? Also, I do have a previous misdemeanor theft charge.. when I was 18 and very stupid.. But it was not theft by check... will this hurt me? I live in Texas. Thanks everyone more

Resolved Question: WOW!!! Could it be?!?!?!?!!!?

Could it be, that President Obama's detractors may be (dare I say it) WRONG??? Could it be that President Obama is actually doing what he said he was going to do?? Maybe i'm jumping the gun, but I've just read a few different articles that may validate my potential offsides penalty. Either way, it's good new for Americans who have been seeking some good news when it comes to politics. Maybe patience is what the doctor ordered.... On Yahoo!, from the Associated Press: President Barack Obama's stimulus plan spared tens of thousands of teachers from losing their jobs, state officials said Monday amid a nationwide effort to calculate the effect of Washington's $787 billion recovery package. State officials around the U.S. worked to meet a Saturday reporting deadline as part of the most ambitious effort to calculate in real time the effect of a government spending program. From 11 jobs repaving a road in Caldwell, Texas, to one job at Utah food banks, to two forensic scientist positions in North Dakota, states were required to say exactly what became of billions in government aid. The national data won't be available until later this month. But based on preliminary information obtained by The Associated Press from a handful of states, teachers appear to have benefited most from early spending. That's because the stimulus sent billions of dollars to help stabilize state budgets, sparing what officials said would have teacher layoffs..... Here are some links: Stimulus Package helps Americans keep their jobs: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091012/ap_on_go_ot/us_stimulus_jobs Economy recovering: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091012/ap_on_bi_ge/us_economic_recovery more
