AARP recently announced new public resources that provide clear information to help Americans better understand what the law means for them and how to access available benefits. One of these resources includes a new online tool called Health Law Answers.

By answering just seven simple questions about where you live, your gender, family size, income and insurance status, a report is generated with benefits that may be available to you and your family and where to find more information. To learn more about specific components of the Affordable Care Act, you can also visit HealthLawFacts.org.

With this landmark law in place, we are holding insurers accountable and putting money back in the pockets of America’s patients. We are reducing costs and strengthening the economic security of families. House Democrats will work diligently over the next few months to ensure that all Americans will benefit from better patient protection, expanded choices, and more affordable health care.

Traveling Abroad?
Recent travel alerts and temporary closures of United States Embassies abroad remind us of the importance of protecting yourself when U.S. citizens travel abroad. You might consider taking advantage of resources like the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to register your upcoming trip so the State Department can better assist you in an emergency and subscribe to receive updates on Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts and other information for a particular country.

If you’re tired of getting stuck at long Customs lines, consider applying for Global Entry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. By signing up for Global Entry, you will be able to breeze through customs when returning to the United States. You can also utilize Global Entry when travelling domestically for TSA Pre Check when you purchase your ticket, which allows approved flyers to receive expedited screening benefits. Global Entry costs $100 for a non-refundable application fee and if approved you are covered for five years.

We must continue our work in Congress to ensure that our planes are secure, our passengers are safe, and U.S. aviation remains among the safest ways to travel. To learn more about how my office can assist with your travels, please visit my website.

Please feel free to forward this information to your family and friends. To learn more about these efforts, to express your views, or to sign up for email updates, please visit my website. I am also on Twitter at http://twitter.com/NancyPelosi.

This daily trick can help you detoxify, improve your digestion and boost your metabolism & energy levels

by Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist
Author of the best seller: The Top 101 Foods that FIGHT Aging

You’re bombarded with toxins in today’s modern world… everywhere from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other harmful compounds in the food that you eat.

All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming your metabolism and hormones, impairing your digestive system, and zapping your energy levels.

If I could tell you ONE thing that you could do each morning right as you wake up to help your body eliminate some of these toxins, improve your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and BOOST your energy, would you do it?

Of course you would… and it takes less than 1 minute!

Here’s the trick…

Immediately upon waking each day, squeeze about 1/2 to 1 full lemon (depending on size of the lemon) into an 8 oz glass of warm or room temperature purified water. This is gentler on your body first thing in the morning compared to ice cold water. I’ve found that slicing the lemon into quarters before squeezing by hand is easier than squeezing halves.

Drink this at least 10 minutes before eating any food for the day.

Make sure to use fresh organic lemons to make this drink, and not bottled lemon juice. You want to use organic lemons to avoid the pesticides that can accumulate.

3 Major benefits of this morning drink to your body, health, and energy:

According to a leading health publication, TheAlternativeDaily.com:

“The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful. For centuries, it has been known that lemons contain powerful antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting components. We know that lemons are a great digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain citric acid, magnesium, bioflavonoids, vitamin C, pectin, calcium and limonene, which supercharge our immunity so that the body can fight infection.

Lemons are considered one of the most alkalizing foods you can eat. This may seem untrue as they are acidic on their own. However, in the body, lemons are alkaline; the citric acid does not create acidity once it has been metabolized.

The minerals in lemons are actually what helps to alkalize the blood. Most people are too acidic (from eating too much sugar and grains), and drinking warm lemon water helps reduce overall acidity, drawing uric acid from the joints. This reduces the pain and inflammation which many people feel. And the American Cancer Society recommends warm lemon water to encourage regular bowel movements.”

Benefits that you can enjoy:

1. Improves your digestion:

Lemon juice helps your body improve digestion and stimulates bile production. Lemon juice can even be an aid for heartburn and indigestion.

2. Boosts your energy for the day:

Even just the scent of lemon juice has been shown to improve your mood and energy levels, and reduce anxiety. Plus the detoxifying effect and alkalizing effect of fresh organic lemon juice can improve your energy through the removal of toxins from your body.

3. Helps you to lose fat:

Since lemon juice helps to improve your digestive system, aids in removal of toxins, and increases your energy levels, this all combines together to help you to lose body fat as well through improving your hormonal balance… Yet another reason to add warm lemon water to your daily morning routine!

And to have racist whites in my face telling me to go home. THIS IS MY HOME.

What would we do without the compassion of President Obama. He is truly the President of ALL the peoples of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

A lot of white America hate him for that.
