Money To Pay Your Mortgage
Or Buy A Home |
This newsletter is the second in a series of trying to answer
the specific questions that were sent to us in our “Show
Me the Money Contest”. It will probably take another
issue or two to finish getting out the information that I
believe will
help the most number of readers based on their entries. Thank
you again for your entries. We will be announcing the winners
soon.

The Best Way To Get Gov’t
Money For Anything
Your elected representatives are in the business of seeing
how they can help you locate money, services or anything
else you need. They all have people on their staff who’s
job it is to do just that for voters. This is why politicians
are always getting re-elected. If they do a favor for
you, you will vote for them forever, no matter what they
do.
• You have 1 congressman and 2 senators at the federal
level. You can contact all 3.
• You have more than one elected official in your state capital.
• You also have an elected representative at your city and county level.
Contact them all. They are all getting a government salary to help you and they
all have access to different resources. The worst that can happen is that more
than one person solves your problem. If you need help finding them go to http://www.govengine.com/. OR your local library.

$2,000
Worth of Free Prescription Drugs
Make
over $40,000 and get all but Viagra. Drug companies will
give certain people who cannot afford their medications their
drugs free of charge. Your doctor will likely have to sign
a form, and then the company will ship the medications to
you or the doctor. To receive a listing of drug companies,
check out the website at http://www.helpingpatients.org/ .
Also contact your state department of health at http://www.govengine.com . Many state governments also have financial help for drugs. |

Uncle Sam.
