MJ’s executors …

12/17/2009 Nativegrl77

The executors of Michael Jackson‘s estate have filed documents, explaining why they should be entitled to more than the statutory fee most executors get — a big reason … Joe Jackson.

We all have our opinions about Katherine and or Joe Jackson, but for me the comments from

the Executors were just offensive and it reads, looks smells like they are going in for the kill, to take over the MJ Estate, the kids need to grow up fast and put their 2cents in there before this gets even more ugly.

This is yet another reason Katherine Jackson should be allowed a seat at the Jackson Trust table. These people were suppose to be his friends? how could they not know or have absolutely no idea that the duties of handling an estate such as MJ’s would be this tedious? not to mention they declared Katherine and or Joe Jackson of being the cause for them going beyond the call of duty and attacked by?, please, in death MJ is still getting abused, financially and emotionally, is it me, or does anyone else feel they have been lying in wait for this?

Let Dems hear from you…202-225-3121… this HCR bill is for the People

12/14/2009 Nativegrl77

REPOST

The Democrats who’ve said — either in interviews or press releases — that they’re opposing the HCR bill include: 15 so far

Members of Congress need to hear from you. Lieberman may have wanted Medicare buy in and HCR before he didn’t; he is now showing how Politicians can easily put aside the rights of their constituents and fellow Americans. We need to get Progressive Democrats to Unite and push pass and shove a Bill toward our President’s desk that has been a long time in the making and one that can change not just health care, it will create jobs, will not kill grandma and will definitely need to be adjusted frequently.

The number to the Congressional switch board is 202-225-3121. If you get a busy signal, don’t be discouraged. Keep dialing.
