Missouri Insurance Quotes

Measured according to the goals set out in the preamble, the Founders’ Constitution is a worse disaster than the Articles. It does not create a more perfect union: eleven states secede, thirteen if you accept the Confederate claims to Missouri and Kentucky. It does not insure domestic tranquility: Americans kill more Americans than any foreign enemy ever has, some three-quarters of a million dead. It brings the blessings of liberty to the Founders, but to their posterity the curse of war.

Luntz used polls, focus groups, and “instant response dial sessions” to perfect the language of health-care attacks and then tested the lines on average Americans in St. Louis, Missouri. Out of these sessions, Luntz compiled a seminal twenty-eight-page confidential memo in April warning that there was no groundswell of public opposition to Obama’s health-care plan at that point; in fact, there was a groundswell of public support. By far the most effective approach to turning the public against the program, Luntz advised, was to label it a “government takeover.” He wrote, “Takeovers are like coups. They both lead to dictators and a loss of freedom.” “I did create the phrase ‘government takeover’ of health care. And I believe it,” Luntz maintained, noting too that “it gave the Republicans the weapon they needed to defeat Obama in 2010.” But most experts found the pitch patently misleading because the Obama administration was proposing that Americans buy private health insurance from for-profit companies, not the government. In fact, progressives were incensed that rather than backing a “public option” for those who preferred a government insurance program, the Obama plan included a government mandate that individuals purchase health-care coverage, a conservative idea hatched by the Heritage Foundation to stave off nationalized health care. Luntz’s phrase was so false that it was chosen as “the Lie of the Year” by the nonpartisan fact-checking group PolitiFact. Yet while a rear guard of administration officials tried lamely to correct the record, Luntz’s deceptive message stuck, agitating increasingly fearful and angry voters, many of whom flocked to Tea Party protests.

we forget Joseph F. Glidden's 1874 invention of barbed wire, which, more than the rifle or the plow, transformed Buffalo Bill's Great Plains by insuring the survival of thousands of family farms, and making possible the growth of enormous-and enormously profitable-cattle ranches. In addition, I feel a personal connection. In April 1855 my great-granduncle Alexander Carter Jr. and his younger brother, Thomas Marion Carter, left their home in Scioto County, Ohio, and headed west. Starting by steamboat, the two brothers floated down the Ohio River until it joined the Mississippi and then traveled upstream to St. Louis. In St. Louis they found little transportation west, so they walked, hitched rides, and rode horseback to reach St. Joseph, Missouri. There they caught a stagecoach to Council Bluffs, Iowa, riding on top of the stage, with seventeen men and women-a three-day ordeal. On May 14, nineteen days after leaving St. Louis, the brothers crossed the Missouri River and landed on the town site of Omaha, then a community of cotton tents and shanties, where lots were being offered to anyone willing to build on them. They refused this offer and pressed on to their final destination, DeSoto, Washington County, Nebraska Territory, where they found only one completed log house and another under construction. There they homesteaded the town of Blair, Nebraska. For three generations there were Carters in Nebraska, first in

Buffalo Bill is important to me as the symbol of the growth of our nation, for his life spanned the settlement of the Great Plains, the Indian Wars, the Gold Rush, the Pony Express, the building of the transcontinental railroad, and the enduring romance of the American frontier-especially the Great Plains. Consider what he witnessed in his lifetime: the invention of the telephone, the transatlantic cable, the automobile, the airplane, and the introduction of modem warfare, with great armies massed against each other, with tanks, armored cars, flame-throwers, and poison gas-a far cry from the days when Cody and the troopers of the Fifth Cavalry rode hell-for-leather across the prairie in pursuit of hostile Indians. Nor, though it is not usually considered a milestone in American history, should we forget Joseph F. Glidden's 1874 invention of barbed wire, which, more than the rifle or the plow, transformed Buffalo Bill's Great Plains by insuring the survival of thousands of family farms, and making possible the growth of enormous-and enormously profitable-cattle ranches.

Negative” revivication can lead to very positive outcomes. One of the masters in its use is Pat Knowles, a sales superstar and consultant living in Kansas City, Missouri. For the past fifteen years, Pat has specialized in putting together and selling million-dollar real estate, insurance, oil and gas, and tax shelter programs. Pat frequently hears the objection, “I want to think about it,” when selling big ticket items to his wealthy clientele. A master of sales hypnosis, Pat uses revivication to remind prospects of the price they have paid in the past for procrastinating on a decision. Pat asks: Pat: “Tell me, did you make a lot of money in real estate during the boom years?” Client: “No.” Pat: “Did you notice that real estate was soaring in value?” Client: “I sure did. I had some friends who made over a million dollars from their real estate investments.” Pat: “Did you think about getting involved with real estate?” Client: “Of course. But, I never got around to it. And then the market cooled down. Now, I think the market is kind of overbuilt. I don’t think it has as much profit potential.” Pat: “So, you thought about it, but you didn’t take action, and you missed the opportunity?” Client: “That right.” Pat: “How about the stock market boom? You know, during the middle 1980’s, the majority of stocks on the New York Exchange doubled in price.” Client: “I know. I read the newspapers. I saw that the market was hitting new highs almost every week.” Pat: “Did you invest? Did you double your money in the stock market?” Client: “Well, I thought about it, but I didn’t take any action. I didn’t take any positions.” Pat: “So, you missed that opportunity as well?” Client: “I guess I did.” Pat: “Let’s not let that happen again. You procrastinated and you paid the price. You missed the stock market opportunity and you missed the real estate opportunity. Mr. _____, you have learned from the past that there is a price to pay from thinking about something too long and missing an opportunity. Let’s not make the same mistake again. Let’s not miss this opportunity. To make sure that you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity, can we take care of the paperwork today?
