In today's world with Social Security being cut for people who paid into it their entire lives and giving more money to SSI recipients who never worked a day in their lives, the cost of food sky rocketing and nobody doing a thing about it, we got Bin Ladin what are we still doing there? Wars we have no business in never did at what was the cost????? Rebuilding their countries after WE destroyed it, Now President Obama wants to give homo-sexuals in PRISON hormone treatments so they can change their gender? These prisoners are suing the states they are imprisoned in making hundreds of thousands of dollars because they didn't get a tooth filled timely, their attorneys are holding this money in illegal trust funds. I can cite a case Barry Berman vs. State of New York where Elmira prison is located. The State just settled out of court for $150,000.00. He personally told me, while imprisoned, you are forced as a male to become first bi-sexual then homosexual. It would be much more cost effective to allow these prisoners woman for a few hours than hormone treatments. I went through a hysterectomy and cannot get what I need legitimately, the cost is too high for hormone replacement therapy. But yet you will give a once normal man hormones because incarceration changed him? He was not born this way, it was not having a woman that made them that way. If they self mutilate, that's mental illness and they shouldn't be in prison but in a mental hospital undergoing treatment for mental illness. Homosexuality IS NOT an illness. I'm sorry the Gay community now wants to call it a illness. They didn't say that when they wanted to get married and adopt children. It seems they shift their problem which ever way they can get the most. Now they are ill and need medicine. Stop this insanity, please sign my petition. It would be more cost effective to allow all prisons woman from the beginning of their incarceration. And those prisoners whose lawyers are holding secret trust funds I believe to be illegal can well afford their hormones if they want it. What will be next, taxpayers paying for sexy garter belts and stockings with high heels. This is a personal choice for them not an illness. Celibacy is also another choice. NO, TAXPAYERS ARE FEEDING these criminals now, you want us to pay for their sexual change when you don't pay for an addict WHO IS ILL's methadone treatments at $100.00 per week. So they rob and steal and kill people for their drug money. This insanity President Obama can't be real. I read it as top of the news today and had to do something. There are other cost effective choices to look at so why are you not looking at them? This would be the beginning of a horrific burden on the taxpayers, as if we don't have enough. I could hardly believe this is even under consideration but it is. California, leading the way. This is not life sustaining medicine, nor health sustaining medicine. It is solely for the sexual pleasure of inmates. If this goes through will you pay for my sexual pleasures as well and the rest of America? Please sign my petition before the sneak it through in the middle of the night like in the past with other legislation and we are stuck holding the bill. Thank you so much.
