This is a contest I'm in that would help me get health insurance for the
first time in my adult life and I could sure use it, what with paying
over $120 a month for drugs that keep me from experiencing chronic chest
pain:

As you know the Service Employees International Union has got its sights
on improving wages and working conditions for Walmart employees.  One
way they're doing it is through building a network of people they can
keep informed when local matters require it, i.e. pickets of stores,
boycotts of particular stores, etc.

Learn more about Walmart's need to reform how it does business from this
link and sign up if you feel any solidarity with Walmart workers and
want to keep informed about what is happening in SEIU's campaign.

I'm in the top five for the drawing for $1,000 worth of health
insurance, so of course I already have a vested interest in you going to
this page.

Before the storm started yesterday I fired up the grill as promised.
Brushed a couple of nice white spuds with oil and sprinkled with salt.
Covered the grill.  After they'd roasted for about an hour I tossed on two
bacon-wrapped chuck fillets.  The results are here:

Then perhaps stick to that topic?

Oh, I dunno.
Would you look upon in differently if it was me that posted it?

Perhaps I'd have looked at it differently with an OT in the subject line or
if the subject was less spam-sounding.

As an American without health insurance, I can relate.  But with the cost of
medical care, $1000 won't really go far in paying medical bills.  Trust me,
I know.  Persia's surgical bill alone last year was $900.  Quintuple that if
it had been ME having bladder surgery.  Anyway, I apologize if I took it the
wrong way.  But the steak and taters were good and I gave Persia a teeny bit
of the steak :)

What else could it have BEEN but spam?  Anyone who posts
pleas to a newsgroup asking for their assistance to "win"
something is a spammer by definition (or maybe just a
clueless dupe - some people ARE that stupid).  Same goes
with requests for financial assistance.  Plenty of people on
this group seem to be unemployed at the moment, and
certainly asking if any of us know of any jobs in their
field is legitimate.  (However, I haven't noticed anyone
asking his/her fellow posters for plain hard cash, have you?)
