AN OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR MOORE, OUR BAY VIEW SENATOR.
IF YOU AGREE WITH IT, SEND HER A COPY WITH YOUR INFORMATION AND SIGNATURE. THANKS FOR HELPING.
The Honorable Gwen Moore
House of Representatives
1239 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515-4904 |
| Re: HR 333 - Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act |
| Dear Representative Moore: |
|
I strongly urge you to cosponsor HR 333, the Disabled Veterans Tax Termination Act, submitted by Representative Jim Marshall on January 8, 2009.
If enacted HR 333 would correct several wrongs enacted with the original concurrent receipt legislation in 2004.
First, HR 333 would enfranchise those 400,000 retired members of the Armed Forces with disability ratings less than 50% to draw both their VA disability compensation and their military retirement pay under CRDP (Concurrent Retirement Disability Pay, 10 US Code Section 1414) without offset. If the disability was combat-related, these retirees were enfranchised for CRSC (Combat Related Special Compensation, 10 USC Section 1413a) with the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.
Second, HR 333 would enfranchise those 200,000 members of the Armed Forces who were retired for medical disability with less than 20 years service under 10 US Code, Chapter 61, to draw both their VA disability compensation and their earned military retirement pay under CRDP. If the disability was combat-related, these retirees were enfranchised for CRSC with the 2008 NDAA.
Third, HR 333 would eliminate the 10-year phase in of CRDP, which is currently in the 6th year, and is 88% restored. In 2010, it will be 95% restored. Distributing the remaining 5% over 4 years is not cost effective.
Fourth, HR 333 would cause the Department of Defense (DoD) to compute CRSC pay for Chapter 61 retirees as originally intended Congress. These changes have been agreed upon by the DoD, the Military Officers Association of America, and the several Congressional Committees involved.
Lastly, while not stated in the legislation, such enfranchisement of these retirees to receive both their VA compensation and their earned military retirement pay would be consistent with President Obama's economic stimulation policies.
Please actively support HR 333. |

Dear Mr. President: My name is Melissa and I need your help.
I am a young woman trying to make ends meet in today’s tough economic climate. I have some bills that need to be paid. I fell behind in some of my bills. I made a choice, food and shelter or be cold and hungry. I choose to eat and be warm.
I fell behind on some of my bills and incurred about $1,500.00 in debt. A few creditors are calling for the money. I try the best I can to make payments but at times; I cannot make all the payments.
Mr. President, I have been following the economic bailout you provided to multimillion-dollar companies and banks. Bank and big corporation CEO’s are still getting their multimillion dollar salaries and the companies getting millions of dollars to stay in business, all financed by tax payers dollars.
I would like to know if I could get just $1,500 of that money to help bailout me out of my financial crises. I look forward to your reply.
Respectfully,
Melissa THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE
Ms. Melissa:
I received your letter and read it carefully. I gave allot of thought to how things were when I was young. Let me explain and make a few suggestions.
While it is true we are bailing out companies in tough financial circumstances, we did it to help stabilize the economy. Yes, the companies CEO still get their salaries and do so to maintain the lifestyle they are used to.
Unfortunately, there is no money left for you or any other person in your situation. That money was earmarked for large businesses that made poor business decisions, not the common folk trying to make a go of it.
Perhaps you could try to see if someone in your family can loan you some money. Perhaps you could get help from a retired grand parent on a fixed income. Alternatively, your parents or a title loan company may be of assistance.
There are many companies out their willing to help bail you out in your economic crises. Unlike the government, no strings attached loan program, others may have some strings attached to make sure you pay them back. That is business.
Sorry I could not help you but maybe my suggestions will help lighten the load for you.
Sincerely,
The President

Differences between Grandfathers and Grandmothers
A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a special effort with his family on the weekends.
Every Sunday morning he would take his 7-year old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time. Just he and his granddaughter.
One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and really didn't feel like being up at all. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather. 'Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?'
'Oh yes, PaPa' the girl replied, 'and do you know what? We didn't see a single idiot or knucklehead anywhere we went today!'
All joking aside - drive careful - the roads are nasty and there are plenty of the aforementioned drivers out there.

New Technique Utilizing Private Branch Exchange (PBX) Systems To Conduct Vishing Attacks
The FBI has received information concerning a new technique used to conduct vishingi attacks. The recent attacks were conducted by hackers exploiting a security vulnerability in Asterisk software. Asterisk is free and widely used software developed to integrate PBXii systems with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), digital Internet voice calling services; however, early versions of the Asterisk software are known to have a vulnerability. The vulnerability can be exploited by cyber criminals to use the system as an auto dialer, generating thousands of vishing telephone calls to consumers within one hour.
The vulnerability referred to in this alert is a known vulnerability. Digium, the original creator and primary developer of Asterisk, released a Security Advisory, AST-2008-003, in March of 2008, which contains the information necessary for users to configure a system, patch the software or upgrade the software to protect against this vulnerability.
If a consumer falls victim to this exploit, their personally identifiable information (PII) will be compromised. To prevent further loss of consumers' PII and to reduce the spread of this new technique, it is imperative businesses, using Asterisk, upgrade their software to a version that has had the vulnerability fixed.
Further, consumers should not release personal information in response to unsolicited telephone calls. Providing your PII will compromise your identity!
If you have been a victim of Internet crime, please file a complaint at www.IC3.gov.

Winter recreation is a great time of year. We enjoy ice fishing, sledding, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing to name a few. I felt it was appropriate to talk about ice safety.
Ice on ponds, rivers, and lakes can be affected by many things. The strength and the thickness of the ice must be known before any activity by you or a family member takes place on it. Safety is of paramount importance.
The rule of thumb for ice safety is as follows:
- 2 inches of new clear ice is ok for walking on.
- 4 inches of new clear ice is ok to spend time fishing on.
- 5 inches of new clear ice is ok to snowmobile on.
- 8-13 inches of new clear ice is ok to drive a vehicle on.
REMEMBER – RIVER ICE IS USUALLY 15 – 20 PERCENT WEAKER THAN POND OR LAKE ICE.
Slush is a danger sign. It indicates that the ice is no longer freezing from the bottom and indicates it is weak and or deteriorating.
Temperatures, precipitation (snow, sleet, rain) are all factors that affect the strength of the ice.
Never check the ice alone or try to rescue a victim of an ice failure. Why? Because you could end up going from rescuer to victim very quickly. If you fall through the ice, try to climb out toward the direct you came from. You know the ice was strong up to that point.
In closing, be aware that ice thickness and strength can vary from location to location. By following the few safety tips you can be safer and enjoy the many winter activities in our great outdoors

Peacemaking is not . . . appeasement. Always giving in, acting like a doormat, and allowing others to always run over you is not what Jesus had in mind. He refused to back down on many issues, standing his ground in the face of evil opposition.

Capitol Democrats, you just got what you wished for. Are you still sure it's what you want?
For at least two years, you'll have to run state government - and it's in a deep financial hole.
Tuesday's victories by Democrats mean that Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle will have 70 partners - the 18 Democrats who will run the Senate and the 52 Assembly Democrats - in crafting the next two-year budget. That won't be easy because Doyle has said that budget faces a deficit of more than $3 billion.
The 2009-'10 budget that Doyle must recommend early next year will be his hardest, for several reasons. It's the last budget before he is expected to seek a third term in 2010. The current budget had $750 million in tax and fee increases, which raised taxes on cigarettes and license plate renewals. Accounting tricks used by both parties over the past eight years are no longer available. Long-term debt has risen dramatically, raising questions about how much more debt the state can handle.
"This is going to be a very difficult time," Doyle said.
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) said Democrats would quickly pass bills to increase job training, boost spending on green energy, require businesses to more publicly disclose their tax liabilities and bar the state from contracting with companies that ship jobs overseas.
"Our number one thing we want to do is get in there and work on the economy and jobs and the cost of living," Pocan said. "And when working on the (state) budget, we're going to do it with working families and the middle class first and foremost in mind, and not the special interests."
Republican Sen. Ted Kanavas of Brookfield said Thursday that Republicans know they won't be able to pass anything in the next legislative session, but they can be advocates for taxpayers.
"We can't lead, but we can point out" problems in the choices Democrats make, Kanavas said.
The issues ahead:
Smoking ban. Doyle has pushed for a smoking ban in public places but was thwarted by Republicans and members of his party. After Tuesday, he said: "We're in a lot better shape."
Health care reform. Doyle and legislative leaders must find changes that don't include the so-called Healthy Wisconsin universal coverage plan that Senate Democrats passed last year. Barack Obama's election as president "takes the pressure off" for Healthy Wisconsin, Doyle said. Instead, he may again push an expanded state pool for health care insurance.
Insurance for childhood autism. When Doyle finally signed the overdue state budget in October 2007, he said the most important change left out was mandating insurance coverage to treat childhood autism. Doyle said this is a top goal for 2009.
Health insurance for domestic partners. For years, Republicans blocked changes that would allow domestic partners of state workers to get health care through state-provided plans. There will be a new push for that benefit, especially since the University of Wisconsin System is the only Big Ten school that does not offer it.
Drunken driving. Lawmakers will consider whether to toughen penalties for drunken drivers, including granting prosecutors the power to charge third offenses as felonies. Current law says a fifth violation can be prosecuted as a felony. Also planned are moves to let judges require more ignition interlocks on vehicles owned by drunken drivers and to legalize roadside sobriety checkpoints.
Taxes on businesses. Senate Democratic leaders say businesses widely use tax loopholes, so they want to tax the profits of parent companies and end the current system that taxes corporate subsidiaries separately. That would amount to an $80 million annual tax increase on Wisconsin businesses. Also pending is a plan to adopt national standards on what should be subject to the 5% sales tax.
Limits on teacher pay and school finance. In his three budgets, Doyle has asked for repeal of the "qualified economic offer" that limits pay and benefit increases for teachers to 3.8% a year. But tied to that is a push to overhaul the school finance system, which rural districts and Milwaukee school officials say is broken. They want to end spending limits, saying they have forced them to lay off teachers and to end language and math programs. But these changes could raise property taxes.
Campaign-finance reform. Democratic legislators have called for changes to diminish the role of cash in Capitol campaigns, and they likely will push requirements that all groups that run political ads disclose where they get their money. Some want to go further, but they will face opposition. A compromise may involve making changes that affect state Supreme Court races, but not gubernatorial and legislative contests. Whatever is adopted likely would face a court challenge on First Amendment grounds.

With an expected 300,000 people flocking to the polls in Milwaukee this November 4th, one cannot help but ask, “When is the best time to vote to avoid the long lines?’
This election has created allot of excitement and voters are anxious to get to the polls and vote for their candidate. As of Friday, October 30th, the Milwaukee Election Commission has received nearly 30,000 absentee ballots. That is 10% of the city’s eligible voters. The other 90% will brave the weather and lines to cast their ballot.
Everyone should expect to wait in line this year. If you want to avoid the long lines, and I know because I work the polls, try not to vote between the following hours:
- 7 am – 9 am
- 12 noon – 1:30 pm
- 5 pm – 6:30 pm
If you have not registered to vote, try to follow these steps to help you speed up the process:
- Check what ward you live in and go to the appropriate ward to register. You will not be allowed to register in a ward you do not reside in.
- All Election Day registrants must have proof of residence. An acceptable form of proof of residence, when voting on Election Day, must include a current and complete name, including both the first and last name, a current and complete residential address, including a numbered street address and the name of a municipality.
- In order to register to vote, an individual must provide proof that he or she has been a resident at their registration address for at least 10 days preceding the election.
There are a number of acceptable proof of residence documents a person can use. To name a few:
- A current and valid Wisconsin Driver’s License or Wisconsin ID card.
- A residential lease effective for the period that includes Election Day.
- A bank statement or a paycheck.
- A check or other document issued by a unit of government.
- A utility bill including cable television, gas, electric, or telephone for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before Election Day.
These are just a few items and to get a complete listing you can log into the City of Milwaukee Election web page for additional information .
Every inspector at the polling locations has received training to assist you in the registration process. If you have not registered to vote, I urge you to register at your ward on Election Day. Your vote does make a difference.

(critical videos and documents below)
Four years ago, when I had just about completed the lengthy legal and financial vetting process required by the U.S. government to place my then-92-year-old-mother in a nursing home, I was asked to produce her birth certificate as “proof” of her citizenship. While she was born in America, had voted in every election for untold decades, and paid her taxes religiously, that wasn’t good enough to qualify my elderly mother –deaf, legally blind, and confined to a wheelchair – to be admitted to the facility I had chosen for her near my home.
Frankly, I didn't think finding my mother's birth certificate was possible, given the fact that she had been born in a farmhouse in Storrs, CT, along with nine of her 10 siblings, to parents who didn't speak English. Despairing that she would never be "qualified" to receive the care she desperately needed, I set about to find the document, which I was sure had vanished in the unreliable record-keeping of 1913. First I called an official in Hartford, the capitol of Connecticut, who recommended that I call the Storrs record-keeping office. That took two minutes. Next I called the Storrs office and was told to call another number. That took two minutes. When I called the third number, I explained to the woman who answered the phone that I was "asking something impossible." I gave her my mother's first name and her father's last name. Within four minutes, she said, "Here it is!" She had found my mother's birth certificate, and it surprised me when I learned my mother's "real" first name and "real" last name had changed significantly as she and her family became Americanized. When I expressed my amazement, the woman said: "That's nothing...we're routinely asked to find birth certificates from the 1800s, and we do that all the time!" Total time it took me to find my mother's 1913, born-in-a-farmhouse birth certificate: 10 minutes! WHERE IS OBAMA'S?To this date, Barack Obama has refused - or been unable -to produce an authentic birth certificate that attests to the fact he is an American-born citizen. He has had more than the two-years of campaigning for the presidency of the United States to do this, but failed. Why is this important? Because the Constitution of the United States expressly forbids anyone born on foreign soil to run for the highest office in our land! You would think that Obama would have volunteered the "proof" of his eligibility within a nanosecond of entering the race. But here we are, less than two weeks away from the election, and Americans still don't know if Obama is an American! While Obama's camp submitted a supposedly authentic birth certificate to the far-left blog Daily Kos, it was found to have been a photo-shopped version of the birth certificate of his half-sister, who was actually born in Hawaii, as Obama claims he was. While this glaring omission in Obama's eligibility to become the most powerful man on earth mystified some and rankled others, a few people - clearly alarmed at what they considered a stealth candidate's attempt to dance his way around the Constitution and venture into the realm of criminality- took action. SLEUTH #1The first sleuth was lawyer Philip J. Berg, a Democrat from Pennsylvania and an undisguised Hillary fan. Last August, Berg - a former deputy attorney general of Pennsylvania and one-time candidate for both governor and senator -filed a lawsuit in Federal Court (Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083) seeking a Declaratory Judgment and an Injunction against Obama, alleging that the first-term Illinois senator did not meet the qualifications to be President of the United States.
CLICK THIS->RELATED BIRTH CERTIFICATE EXAMINATIONS LINKBerg's suit was based on Obama's failure to answer satisfactorily the question of where he was born. Was it in Hawaii, Kenya, or Indonesia? Was his legal name Barack Hussein Obama, Barry Soetoro (his stepfather's surname), Barry Obama, Barack Dunham (his maternal grandparents' surname), or Barry Dunham? Among the other questions Berg raised were the authenticity of the name Obama used on his Illinois Bar Application and his possible allegiance to other countries. Details of the case, including direct quotations, are found on Berg's website: http://www.obamacrimes.com/. "Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Senator Obama's lies and obfuscations," Berg said. "He clearly shows a conscience of guilt by his actions in using the forged birth certificate and the lies he's told to cover his loss of citizenship. We believe he...supported this belief by his actions in hiding his secret, in that he failed to regain his citizenship and used documents to further his position as a natural born citizen...His very acts prove he knew he was no longer a natural born citizen. We believe he knew he was defrauding the country or else why use the forged birth certificate of his half sister?...If the DNC officers and/or leaders had performed one ounce of due diligence, we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament...from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship through an oath of allegiance at age eighteen [18] as prescribed by Constitutional laws!" The net result of Berg's efforts was that, on September 9, both Obama and the Democratic National Committee filed a joint motion for a Protective Order to Stay Discovery pending a decision on the Motion to Dismiss his lawsuit. In other words, to make Berg's lawsuit go away! Berg said he was "outraged, as this is another attempt to hide the truth from the public; it is obvious that documents do not exist to prove that Obama is qualified to be President." The joint motion, Berg asserted, was a concerted effort to avoid the truth by attempting to delay the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama meets the qualifications to be President. He said it is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the qualifications to be President of the United States. Simply stated, Obama "is unable to produce a certified copy of his Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist." An e-mail friend of mine, a lawyer, stated: "What has boggled my mind about this case is that Berg simply waited for a court order to compel the production of the birth certificate, when he could just as easily have served a subpoena on the Hawaii County Clerk or County Recorder - or whoever is the custodian of records in Hawaii - to produce the original birth certificate for examination by an expert forensic-document examiner to produce certified copies to the Court, the Plaintiff, and the Defendants, which would have shifted the burden to Obama to quash the subpoena - and if he filed a motion to quash the subpoena to produce his own birth certificate, that would sure as hell tell us that he has a lot to hide." SLEUTH #2Also in August, longtime Obama nemesis Andy Martin - a Chicago journalist, lawyer, author of the bestseller, "Obama: The Man Behind The Mask," and executive editor or http://www.contrariancommentary.com/ - filed a suit in the Court of the First Circuit State of Hawaii (08-1-2147-10) against the Republican governor, Linda Lingle, and the director of the Department of Health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino. Martin's suit alleged that the defendants had refused to provide a copy of the requested, certified copy of the birth certificate of Senator Obama "attested to by the State and not a `certificate' which is posted on a website and which has been debunked as possibly having been altered." "It is axiomatic," Martin's suit said, "that the birth certificate of a presidential candidate is a document of crucial public concern and significance." Failing both his petition and an initial "emergency motion," Martin filed his second emergency motion this month (-1-2147-10 BIA) "for an Order to Show Cause (`OSC') directing the defendants...on or before October 22, 2008...at a hearing before this Court why the relief requested by the Plaintiff should not be granted...This lawsuit does not involve complicated or disputed facts." "Why is Barack Obama obstructing access to his birth records?" Martin asks. "Along with his obstructing access to college records and other essential information about his past? I want to see a certified copy issued by the State of Hawaii, not one issued by the State of Obama... Interestingly, we think we also know now why he has virtually imprisoned his white grandmother and refuses to allow her to appear in public?" Numerous conservative journalists, talking heads and bloggers have addressed Obama's fitness to be president, questioning his:

- * Stunning lack of concrete legislative accomplishments (both in the Illinois legislature and the U.S. Senate).
- * Long-time close relationships and associations with Marxists and anti-American militants like Frank Marshall, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Father Michael Phleger, Khalid Rashidi, et al.
- * Failure to provide transcripts of his years at Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School.
- * Failure to provide any more than a one-page "report" from his medical doctor about his health status.
- • * Rationale for flip-flopping on every major issue - economic policy, domestic policy, foreign policy, et al - during this campaign.
The sleuthing continues. According to Berg, Martin, and a number of other sources, Obama was really born in the Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombassa, Kenya at 7.24 PM on August 4, 1961, a birth that was documented by a certificate with an embossed seal that displays the name of the hospital, as well as witness signatures. In addition, if these reports are accurate, his grandmother in Kenya, as well as his brother and sister, claim they were present during Obama's birth in Kenya.
GRAMMY DEAREST
Now - belatedly - that the net is closing in on Obama, and the suspicions, as many have alleged, are that he is a Trojan Horse for Islamic interests, or a Manchurian Candidate, or a total fraud - Obama has seemingly discovered an interest in his ailing grandmother. Yes, that Grammy who he so facilely threw under the bus during the early days of his campaign.
He is now so worried about Grandma Dunham - the woman who raised him but strangely didn't attend his nomination - that he is taking a few days off from his intense campaign to visit this ailing widow.
Or could his strangely-timed trip to Hawaii really be to "clear up" the sticky case of his missing birth certificate?
I live in New York, where it is not uncommon for BIG payoffs to influence people to come up with "the goods." A half-a-million here, a dire threat there, often influence people to do things - like perjure themselves, produce phony documents, et al - that they would never do under less "pressured" circumstances.
If the magic document doesn't appear, it is possible, and entirely legal, that Obama could be removed from the ballots in states that are questioning his eligibility.
According to a recent article in The Daily Herald in Everett, WA, a civil action was filed in Washington State Superior Court against Sam Reed, Secretary of State, demanding that Illinois Sen. Barack Obama be removed from the ballot in Washington unless he can provide verification of his status as a United States citizen. The citizen who filed the suit, Steven Marquis, asked that Reed verify - by looking at "original or certified verifiable official documents" - that Obama is a natural-born citizen of the United States and eligible to serve as president, and that the office do so by Election Day.
Like others investigating the matter, Marquis said that answering the unanswered questions about Obama's citizenship and background would "preclude a constitutional crisis and likely civil unrest" that would arise if information about Obama's ineligibility came to light after the election.
EXPLOSIVE PRESS RELEASE
This week, on October 21, 2008, Mr. Berg released the result of his investigation. In a startling press release, he has announced that "Obama & DNC admit all allegations in Berg v. Obama."
In his release, Berg explained that "by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions...the DNC `ADMITTED' that Obama is "NOT QUALIFIED" to be President and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate."
Berg stated that he filed Requests for Admissions on September 15, 2008 with a response by way of answer or objection had to be served within thirty [30] days. No response to the Requests for Admissions was served by way of response or objection. Thus, all of the Admissions directed to Obama and the DNC are deemed "ADMITTED." Therefore, Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for President.
According to Berg, Obama - by default - admitted to every charge the lawyer made., among them:
1. I was born in Kenya.
2. I am a Kenya "natural born" citizen.
3. My foreign birth was registered in the State of Hawaii.
4. My father, Barrack Hussein Obama, Sr. admitted Paternity of me.
5. My mother gave birth to me in Mombosa, Kenya.
The list includes 56 admissions.
The DNC's admissions, which number 27, include that:
1. They nominated Barack Hussein Obama as the Democratic Nominee for President.
2. Have not vetted Barack Hussein Obama.
3. They did not have a background check performed on Barack Hussein Obama.
4. They did not verify Barack Hussein Obama's eligibility to serve as President of the United States.
5. Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya.

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Interest in this case is understandably intense. Berg's website has already received over 55 million hits. But predictably, the overwhelmingly liberal media has yet to pick up on this story, as if ignoring a story that has profound implications for our Republic and for the potential of a Constitutional crisis is less important than discussing Sarah Palin's wardrobe.
It's possible that all the states that are working on obtaining Obama's birth certificate will simultaneously remove him from the ballot at one time.
It's also possible that, failing to produce the birth certificate, Obama will voluntarily step aside, leaving a breach through which Hillary will walk.
Meanwhile, as legal challenges proceed at warp speed, and Obama's lawyers scramble to avoid the Scandal of the Century, one thing remains intractably the same: Obama still hasn't produced proof of his U.S. citizenship! Critical Videos below, documented

The Jury Is Out A guy was on trial for murder and if convicted would be executed. His brother, slippery Sam, found out a redneck was on the jury and figured he would be the one to bribe Slippery Sam told the brother he would pay him $10,000 if he could convince the jury that the charge should be manslaughter. The jury was out an entire week and finally returned with a verdict of manslaughter.
After the trial Slippery Sam went to the red neck’s house, told him what a great job he had done and paid him the $10,000.The red neck thanked him for the money, and said, “That money was hard earned; it wasn’t easy to convince the rest of the jury to make the charge manslaughter. They all wanted to let him go”.
