I am a volunteer with a non-profit therapeutic riding center in North Texas that works with adults and children with special needs.. I used my debit card to rent a credit card terminal to allow the organization to have the facility to take credit cards at a fundraiser. The decision was last minute and it was just easier to use my card then and there. I used a company called First Data Independent Sales in Spanish Fork Utah. The day after the equipment was returned to them - packed in the same packaging and same box that they sent to me - a charge was made to my bank account for just over $884 by the rental company. I don't go on line to check my bank account every day so did not notice the charge until Monday the 3rd. Called the company and asked them what that was all about. They responded on the 4th with an email claiming the equipment was returned 'damaged' and 'dirty' and hence the charge. I know the equipment was clean and in perfect shape when I packed it and returned it. Next steps?

Brave or stupid - I'm not sure. We're here in very red America in North Texas. Our local Democratic Party decided we'd host a non-partisan Town Hall meeting on Health Care Reform. Speakers will be an AARP representative and a physician who is a member of PHNP (Physicians for a National Health Program). No politicians or elected officials.

Well, I did go and visit Congressman Ralph Hall's office in Sherman, Texas and delivered a letter with some points covering my support of health care reform. It was promised it would be forwarded to Washington - where all constituent comments are gathered. Evidently the 'Republican Plan' really does exist, but what I was told was that 'it doesn't see the light of day until the House agrees to accept it and read it, and they've refused to do that.' Really? Is that how it works?
