Dell Byrd Supports Education In Atlanta

by  C. Henry Adams

Quietly tucked away in an inner city Atlanta community,  Dell for the Board and Dell Byrd herself work diligently to say that it is not over.  

I can hear somebody  asking me,  " What is not over, C. Henry ?"

My reply:   Dell Byrd is in a Runoff Election between Ms. Collins for the 6th District Seat of the Atlanta Board of Education.

On Tuesday, December 3rd 2013,  Dell Byrd is asking for your support because she cares.

Speaking of the word - "care".   I believe she has created an acronym that describes her well.

Committed.  Attentive. Responsible. Enthusiastic.

However, I notice that two words were missing.   Highly Intelligent.

I support Dr. Dell Byrd and I would like to encourage the voters in the APS School Board - District 6 to consider her for this particular seat.

Gone Atlanta Braves And The Economy Too...

Warning!  I maybe updating these comments while you are reading.  LOL

by   C. Henry Adams


Sorry,  but I did not have time during the rush hour to go by the 1996 built stadium in downtown Atlanta to snap a picture of it.  Now it (Turner Field Atlanta Fulton County Stadium)  is possibly slated for demolition.

Sorry, but it appears the people living in the Summer Hill and Mechanicsville Communities don't have a say regarding the future of the stadium as well.

I was on facebook today when a very good facebook friend posed a question to the Mayor of Atlanta regarding this outcome and wrote this acronym following her comment - " smh " or  " shake my head ".

Disclaimer:  I do not claim to know if the Mayor of Atlanta can see the person I'm not mentioning, facebook page, but I can...

To shake your head means to NOT understand or this is crazy, don't make sense or ridiculous in my professional opinion.

Somebody asked,  " So, what should we do next -  C. Henry?"

My Reply:  Huh?  You asking me?   Well, I guess it depends on how you see the glass.  Is it half full or half empty?

Here is what I see....  an opportunity to introduce another Major League Baseball Team to Atlanta, the South, the Country and perhaps the World.

Then I would guess somebody else would come behind the person to say...

" Ain't nobody got that kind of money, C. Henry! "

My Reply:  My late father use to say, if you don't have a job, create one.

Perhaps there is a need to create a New Team, Sports of something.

Let's Do Something...

Atlanta, State of Georgia, Southeastern Region of the USA or whoever, please consider the option.

Thanks!

The Questions After The US Government Averted A Complete Shutdown In My Mind

Notice:   Comments made by C. Henry Adams does not directly reflect the views or opinions of Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. ,as well as, BIE Media Group, LLC.  Nor will his statements in this discussion relate to any policy or procedures utilize to operate the companies.

By C. Henry Adams

You can call me ' Chief Just Running His Mouth ' or whatever.  But, I'm going to ask questions after the U.S. Government averted a complete shutdown whether liked or not. 

Please forgive me for presenting the impression of arrogance.

Yes, my perspective is my perspective.  Yes, I'm a Moderate Conservative ( One that believes in tradition, but support change as well.).   No, I'm not a Republican and I'm wondering whether being a Democrat is not the answer neither.

Yes, I'm strong will and I will likely go over this blog and all other blogs written on several hot topics revolving around the U.S. Government with a ' fine tooth comb ' over and over again.

No, I will not disrespect the U.S. President, Barack Obama.   No, I do not like parts of the ACA aka 'Affordable Care Act of 2010' aka 'Obamacare' for specific reasons concerning the People of the USA, my family and myself.

Download ACA Law in PDF here:  http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3590enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr3590enr.pdf

Thank God I live in the United States of America where I have the freedom of speech per the U.S. Constitution per the First Amendment.

That being said, I understand that the U. S. Supreme Court deem the ACA to be a tax, thus making it legal.

It is understood that the Republican & Democratic Parties both had a hand in the Partial Shutdown of the U.S. Government  regarding a number of reasons.  One of the reasons was the ACA which is my focal point in this blog.

I recently raised a question in social media in the third party, which is... " What is the definition of  "Affordable " in regards to the ACA?

Next question:  How many Americans actually took the time to read over 800 documents regarding regulations of the ACA?  

Was there issues or do issues still exist with the Healthcare.gov website regarding registration?

Is $100 US Dollars per month or 8% of a $30,000 USD salary per year - really affordable when you fall in the age group between say 27 yrs old  to 40 yrs old  or even 40 yrs old to 65 yrs old ; whereas, your State has opt out of creating a Healthcare Exchange and the cost of living is already ridiculously high based on your pay?

I understand that there are a number of reasons people don't like the ACA.

I also understand that you can be penalized with a fine if you don't purchase Healthcare Insurance.

But, am I wrong for thinking that anybody or myself in the U.S. placed under the wrong circumstances could be impoverish as a result of the ACA?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your positive or objectively positive responses.

Has The US Government Taken The US Citizen Downhill During A Shutdown Over Healthcare?

Today while setting in a local restaurant eating a Chocolate Frosty and Chicken Sandwich, a Lady start talking to me 'out of the blue' to which disturb me.   With all due respect, first -  I do not like to talk politics when I'm eating a meal.

Secondly, I do not have anything against President Obama, Democrats, Republicans or any other Political Party not mentioned here.

Thirdly,  I'm not going to play the name game called, " Just Who Fault Is It Anyway... "

At that moment, she pointed out the ACA or the Affordable Care Act aka "Obamacare."

Then, it started to get heated. 

So, I decided to show her the healthcare.gov web site on my personal computer, whereas,  the site would not let you go beyond the " Individuals and Families " button to access it further at that particular time and date.

I also pointed out that if you did not qualify for medicare nor were you eligible for the "subsidies" , you might be in trouble, meaning, your cost to purchase a healthcare premium "could be " high.

Listen, I'm not hearing what the Republicans have to say , nor am I hearing what the Democrats have to say.  I'm simply reviewing the facts as they are laid out in front of all Americans that seek them.

Finally, shutting down the US Government is not a wise thing in my professional opinion period.

It is as if Washington really think we can not see the current situation in front of us. 

This economy has not completely recovered in my professional opinion and the actions that DC have taken aren't well thought out regarding any current policy effecting us.

I'm not a negative thinking person and I'm not going to become one.  

May I humbly and respectfully ask you for your thoughts and what do you suggest we should do to resolve these issues in Washington DC to help our economy and improve healthcare?

Thanks!

Failure To Operate The Government Over The Obamacare Mandate Should Not Be An Option

by C. Henry Adams


Greetings, I personally do not like the " way " Obamacare is setup when it comes to penalties for failure to get healthcare insurance , but shutting down the U. S. Government is NOT an option in my professional opinion neither.

My Definition of Setup:  To establish a certain method, policy , procedures, criteria or rules.

As a small business owner that lives in an economy where I literally see people struggling; I don't side with the Republicans, the Democrats or any political party that will hinder the welfare of the American People in any capacity period.

Obamacare is here, I'm prepared and preparing to deal with it accordingly.

If there is growth in our U. S. Economy, there should be signs of growth in my neighborhood, community, city, county and state combined.

I'm not completely convinced.

So, what are your thoughts, I sincerely and respectfully welcome them.   Thanks!

Loop Holes: (4) Four Days To Obamacare Enrollment

Notice:   Comments made by C. Henry Adams does not directly reflect the views or opinions of Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. ,as well as, BIE Media Group, LLC.  Nor will his statements in this discussion relate to any policy or procedures utilize to operate the companies.


By C. Henry Adams

In my professional opinion, there are likely ' loop holes ' built-in every US Law.  But, what do I know about laws, fore, I'm not a Lawyer. 

However, ' statutory exemptions ' found on the IRS web page called, 'Questions and Answers on the Individual Shared Responsibility Provision'  says a lot.  

For clarifications purposes, I'm referring to ' statutory exemption ' as a ' loop hole ', although some people may or may not agree with my observation.

http://www.irs.gov/uac/Questions-and-Answers-on-the-Individual-Shared-Responsibility-Provision

Below is what I found regarding statutory exemptions:

1) If you are a member of a recognized Religious Sect per the Social Security Administration,you could plead 'religious conscience'  to statutory exempt yourself from the ACA.

2) If you are a member of a recognized Health care sharing ministry, you could be statutory exempt from the ACA.

3) If you are a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe, you are statutory exempt.

http://www.irs.gov/irb/2008-39_IRB/ar11.html

4) If your income is below the minimum threshold for filing a tax return, you could be statutory exempt. 

http://www.irs.gov/uac/Do-I-Need-to-File-a-Tax-Return%3F

5) Something regarding 'short coverage gap' where you weren't covered for less than three consecutive months during the year could make you statutory exempt.

6) If the Health Insurance Marketplace or Affordable Insurance Exchange certify that you  suffered a hardship you could be statutory exempt.

7) If the Healthcare Premium is more than eight percent ( 8% ) of your household income you could be statutory exempt.

8) If you are in jail, prison, or similar penal institution or correctional facility AFTER the disposition of charges against you could make you statutory exempt.

9) If you leave the US and no longer are a US Citizen or US National, as well as, alien lawfully present in the US, you could be statutory exempt.

An old cliche comes to mind, ' There is more than one way to skin a cat. ' 

So, what are your thoughts regarding our findings?

Thanks!

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") aka ("Obamacare")

Since Monday, Sept. 23rd 2013, I've been listening to the news on the Radio, watching TV, reading social media  comments, having conversations with individuals, as well as, reading documents regarding Obamacare.

Thus, I've come to the following conclusions:

1) Many people may or may not become confuse regarding enrollment in Obamacare starting Oct. 1st 2013.

2) The Clark Howard Show has a pretty good Podcast in my opinion of a previous broadcast regarding a Special Edition on Obamacare.  http://www.clarkhoward.com/Player/102127731/

3) Republican Senator Cruz of Texas filibustered for 21 hours hoping to defund Obamacare on Sept. 24th 2013.

4) There are four packages (Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum) regarding various Healthcare Insurance Premiums that individuals can choose from on the Healthcare Insurance Exchange starting Oct. 1st 2013.   https://www.healthcare.gov/

5) Individuals can opt out of getting healthcare insurance by paying from $95.00 USD up to 1% of their salary in penalties according to the IRS for 18 months.   http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5093.pdf

6) There are eligibility requirements to receive subsidies to lower your healthcare insurance premium should you elect to purchase.

I'm going to stop here and let you review our findings for your own research.

Please feel free to share your thoughts, thanks!

Exactly ( 9 ) Nine Days to the Obamacare Mandate (UPDATED)

Notice:   Comments made by C. Henry Adams does not directly reflect the views or opinions of Broadcasting Interest Enterprise, Inc. ,as well as, BIE Media Group, LLC.  Nor will his statements in this discussion relate to any policy or procedures utilize to operate the companies.

by  C. Henry Adams

It's exactly nine days to the Obamacare Mandate.  During this period of time, I'm going to try and give my professional opinion of the President, his Administration and the New Healthcare Law WITHOUT offending anyone.

Why?  Well,  I believe if we take a logical approach to looking at what is factual while seeking a solution for entrepreneurs, small business, medium-sized business and even non-profit organizations; we might just make some kind of progress.

Personal Feelings and Stance:  Personally, I'm not happy with certain policies the Obama Administration has put forth, however, I will not divulge those policies as a result of my U.S. Constitutional Rights.  I consider myself to be a Moderate Conservative,  I believe in tradition and change.  I vote Democrat, Republic or Independent;  this means I will vote in the best interest of myself, family, community, so forth.

CORRECTION:  For clarifications purposes, I discovered some oversight in the statement above. Basically, I would like to state that not all of the Obama Administration Policies I like.

'State the facts, let me examine them and leave the propaganda at home'... this is my motto when it comes to politics.

That being stated, please feel free to reference my personal feelings section anytime throughout the series of blogs that I will post.  It is my intent to strike up conversations.  However, I'm seeking the comments of individuals who are interested in presenting workable solutions.  I'm stepping out of my box to invoke workable solutions for business regarding the Obamacare Law that will start mandates on Oct. 1st 2013, Jan. 1st 2014 and beyond.
