I've read many great success stories over the past year here at the DKos of members in unfortunate situations being connected with the right people and I'm hoping with my current situation I might be able to some day share the same success story.

First my situation...

After graduating with my masters degree from Purdue University in 2006 I accepted a job in Orange County, CA working as a design engineer for a start-up company that specializes in embedded memory. Over the past couple years I've learned a lot and built a strong career. At the beginning of 2009, management informed us we were all going to be paid 85% of our salary while we get through the bad economy with a promise of receiving 150% of that overdue pay when things get stronger. Well, now it's worse. Two weeks ago they only paid us 60% of our 85% salaries. And they've yet to pay us for this past pay period that ended last Friday. To date they owe us 183.2 hours which doesn't even include accrued vacation time.

About a year and a half ago I graduated college and was offered a job in Orange County, California. I moved into the Park Newport apartment complex in Newport Beach where I lived for approximately 20 months. The time had come this summer where I got to know enough people in the Southern California and I was looking to move out of my studio which I was paying $1465 a month for and in with roommates out on Balboa Peninsula. While looking at places I came across someone who had also been a tenant at Park Newport and warned me about how extraordinarily unfair they are when it comes to returning security deposits. He was practically encouraging me not to even bother cleaning the place when I moved because they were going to charge me anyways. Apparently this guy had quite the exchange with them upon moving out over what they were claiming from his security, but never got anywhere with them.

Its become clear from the past year that the Democratic controlled Congress is having a little trouble holding what could potentially prove to be the most corrupt and criminal administration accountable. When an administration declares "Executive Privilege" on everything including investigations into Pat Tilman's death in Afghanistan to why Dick Cheney decided California can't pass their own Emission Standards someone needs to call shananigans! Its becoming clear that Congress will soon pass a FISA bill giving Bush his retoactive immunity, but for what benefit? Why are they consistently giving in to this administration even when its obvious that the only reason for retroactive immunity is to protect this administration?

Can anyone seriously tell me the difference between George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein? Let's examine the many similarities...

This diary goes out to all the rich republicans who oppose federally insuring 10 million poor, sick children in this country. I feel it's ironic that you demand these people purchase private health insurance and not depend on the federal government when all your millions in the bank are federally insured... FDIC? Why is it alright to have our bank accounts federally insured? Maybe we should all begin insuring our bank accounts through private companies. In fact, Im starting my own company now. For every $1,000 you wish to insure it'll cost you $1 a month. I mean... it's only fair. We don't want our banks socialized do we?

Where's the motive? The right is always making pointless accusations against a liberal idea, but when you ask, "what are the motives supporting these accusations?" They'll be left speechless.
