http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29627106/ Just think of the money they would save just by a drugtest. Really do hope it passes.

got this in an email last month...

THE JOB - URINE TEST
(Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)

I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ***, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'. Just a thought.


Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though . . Something has to change in this country -- and soon !!!!!!!

my thoughts exactly and well put. Maybe this will snowball on down the hill to the white house and can get it put into effect within the next year or two.

I agree with this 100%, I think they should take it further and require females who are on welfare to get a deprovara shot (birth control) because I think its unfair that people can have 9 kids and expect hard-working people's taxes to support them. For example, the octomom bitch has like 14 kids that ho is getting one big welfare check.

People who are supported by the state shouldn't be on drugs and shouldn't keep having kids, this crap is causing our country to go down the crapper.

Just because you have the right doesnt mean you should have the privilege. A lot of people have had it too easy too long. Whatever happened to working because you have to, not because you want to. But back to the subject of drug testing. Do you think if someone fails the UA, they should be turned away or the failed test be treated as an admission of guilt? any thoughts to that matter?
