Have Your Home Tested For Radon!

 Radon is a leading cause of nonsmoking lung cancer cases which have also been on the rise. If you smoke, that's all the more reason you should have your home tested. Smokers have an even higher risk than nonsmokers of developing cancer as a result of radon gas exposure.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and eight other federal agencies announced a new effort this week to strengthen the fight against exposure by creating a national risk reduction plan for radon.

The EPA and Surgeon General are urging every homeowner who hasn't tested for radon in at least two years to do so. Radon levels in soil can vary over time, so getting clean results on your new home doesn't guarantee that you aren't being exposed five years later. People can contact their state radon office for information on locating qualified test kits or radon testers. You'll also be able to see if your area tend to have high radon levels.

Radon is a naturally occurring, invisible and odorless radioactive gas that's present at high levels in one in 15 American homes. Millions of Americans are unknowingly exposed to this dangerous gas, but testing your home and fixing any problem avoids the health hazard from it.

In fact, I wish radon risks were more publicized years ago, especially the fact that levels vary over time and when you hear stories like this;

"My mother, who never smoked a day in her life, developed lung cancer. It's true that she was exposed to secondhand smoke. But as a stay-at-home mom, she was the one at home the most. The same home for more than 40 years. We did test the house once after she was diagnosed and radon levels weren't excessive. But one unsettling piece of information we did learn was that the county in which she lives, and particularly her town, has higher-than-average levels of radon. So who knows what the levels might have been 20 or 30 years ago coming into her home?"

The EPA and Surgeon General's advice this month to get your home tested every two years seems like a good idea to me.

The great mystery..............

         Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him,     attended school with him, was his friend, etc. ??  Not one person has ever come forward from his past.


               VERY, VERY STRANGE..

               This should really be a cause for great concern.  To those
who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced shadow man.

Reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate....

             Let's face it.  As insignificant as we all are .. someone
whom we went to school with remembers our name or face ... someone
remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or
the bully or something about us.

           George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during
the 2008 campaign.  He questions why no one has acknowledged the
president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made
impromptu speeches on campus.

           Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the
class of 1984.  He says he never had a single class with him.

           While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's
college class remember him?  And, why won't he allow Columbia to release
his records?

           NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA !

         Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400
Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have
been there, but none remembered him.

         Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at
Columbia who also graduated in 1983  In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I
don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know
me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia.
EVER!

         Nobody recalls him.  Root adds that he was also, like Obama,
"Class of  '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more
exact or closer than that."  Never met him in my life, don't know anyone
who ever met him.  At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago,
who was asked to be the speaker of the class?  Me.  No one ever heard of
Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.

         The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say
in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a
human who ever met him."


         Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and
Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia,
provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or
friends while at Columbia.



         NOTE:  Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983
as a Political Science major in the same class that Barack Hussein Obama
was supposed to have been in.

         Some other interesting questions..

         Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?

         Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by Court Order?

         It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is
only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.

 WHAT!!  ???   The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he
is never reported to have lived.

         No wonder all his records are sealed!

         Please continue sending this out to everyone.  Somewhere, someone knew him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention & made us all swoon with his charm, poise & speaking pizzazz.

Pass this on to everyone on your mailing list ... pass it across America!

Somthing to Ponder (Post Deleted)

I removed an earlier post due to information I had recieved from a reader.
As I did not know the true origin or the validity of the story, I felt it best to simply remove it.
I truly hope no one was offended.
