Right now the American Dream is under siege. Tens of millions
of willing workers can’t find jobs. Millions of homeowners have lost
their homes to foreclosure and millions more are underwater. Instead of
investing in our shared future, politicians are giving tax breaks to
the rich and then slashing vital services families depend on. Rather
than expanding protections for the middle class during these difficult
economic times, they’re trying to gut workers’ rights. But a new
movement is rising all across America to fight back. Watch the video!

What has Congress done for you? They
are so wrapped up in power
for power's
sake that they have forgotten all about the people. Getting elected and
holding office are the only driving forces behind most politicians.
They
promise better education. Where is it? They promise tax reform. Where
is
it? They promise a strong economy. Where is it? They promise
help
with the high cost of health care and prescription drugs. Where is it?
They promise election
reform. Where is it? They promise to end corruption. Where is it? They
promise peace. Where is it? Washington is full of empty promises.
Instead of promoting Democracy, they promote Corporate Greed in the
form of Blind Capitalism.
Where
is Universal
Health Care?
Just
take a look at the mess they are making about Health Care. Rather than
support a Medicare Bill for everyone, they are supporting the
out-of-control Health Industry. The bill signed on March 23, while a
start in the right direction, is a billion dollar bonus for health
providers. President Obama and the Democrats allowed the Republicans to
insert hundreds of amendments into the bill and, yet, not one
Republican voted for it. Alan Grayson of Florida, introduced a bill on
March 10, 2010 that would quite simply open up Medicare
to
all
citizens
and legal residents of America. Instead of the 2000+ page monstrosity
recently enacted, Grayson's 4-page bill makes much more sense.Where is the Public Option? A NEW START? America made an historical move and elected its first black president. Voters also sent a handful of legislators packing in the November, 2008 election. This was a good start, but there is so much more that needs to be done. President Obama has made a number of campaign promises and it's up to the people to see that he keeps them. He is asking for public input - This is your chance to see that real Change takes place. Make your views known at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ REPUBLICRATS. This is not a Democrat or
Republican
problem. In March, 2010 nearly 300 members of Congress signed on to a
declaration reaffirming their commitment to "the unbreakable bond that
exists between [U.S.] and the State of Israel", in a letter to
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. (Read more

Nine
Peace
activists
were
killed
on
May
31
when
Israeli
troops
boarded
6
ships
carrying
aid
to
Gaza. The ships were attacked on the high
seas
by armed Israeli commandos. The ships were towed to Israel and their
passengers were all charged with entering Israel (where they didn't
want to go) illegally and were
deported. Israel has rejected a call for an open, transparent,
international commission to look into this murderous raid.
Senator Chuck Schumer recently addressed a group of Orthodox Jewish Leaders. He admitted that a prime purpose of the Gaza blockade has nothing to do with keeping arms away from Hamas, but rather, is to economically strangle the people in Gaza -- meaning not Hamas, but the 1.5 million human beings (men, women and children) who live there. He said, "...and to me, since the Palestinians in Gaza elected Hamas, while certainly there should be humanitarian aid and people not starving to death, to strangle them economically until they see that's not the way to go, makes sense." On May 20, 2010 Congress voted 410 to 4 with 16 not voting to pass the UNITED STATES-ISRAEL MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION AND SUPPORT ACT. This is one of AIPAC's pet projects. AIPAC: The Voice Of America Part 1: The Orange and the Pea - Part 2: The Treasonous Dollar Drain The U.S. is marching in lock step with
Apartheid Israel against the Palestinians and the entire World
On June 24, 2010, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) hailed passage of
his resolution, which passed the Senate overwhelmingly on a voice vote,
expressing the sense of the Senate that Israel has an undeniable right
to self-defense and condemning the recent destabilizing actions by
extremists aboard the Mavi Marmara. (Note:
The
rest
of
the
World
calls
the
members
of the flotilla Peace Activists)“Israel has the right to defend itself, as does every nation. The Free Gaza Flotilla, hidden under a phony cloak of humanitarian relief, was a disgraceful and premeditated attempt to provoke violent confrontation with Israel,” said Senator Cornyn. “Israel needs loyal friends more than ever right now. This resolution reaffirms that the United States is absolutely one of them, despite the mixed messages the Obama Administration has sent on that issue.” On May 31, 2010 Israeli commandos illegally attacked 6 vessels on the high seas and killed at least 9 peace activists. The entire World has condemned this action and called it a criminal activity. The U.S. only "regrets" the incident and "trusts" Israel to investigate. This is akin to asking the wolf to investigate the dead chickens! ![]() The wording, at the insistence of the U.S. was designed to dilute demands for condemnation exclusively of Israel, which argues that its soldiers acted in self-defense in response to violent resistance to their interception of the vessels from passengers on board. After the raid, Israel seized hundreds of activists as well as the ships. On June 2, 2010 the United Nations Human Rights Council approved a resolution that condemns Israel’s attack on a ship that was heading for the Gaza strip. The resolution has passed, with 32 votes in favor of it, but the United States voted against it. The resolution calls for a Goldstone type investigation being started on Israel’s actions, as well as for Israel’s blockade on Gaza being lifted immediately. Congress is allowing all of this to happen. Each day the U.S. makes thousands more enemies of the people of the World. Protests have been held all over the world while President Obama and Congress only "regret" the incident! Former IDF member Rham Emanuel was in Israel just before this attack. Did he give Israel a green light to kill innocent civilians? Was the Obama Administration involved in the Planning of the Israeli Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla? Why
is Joe Lieberman
"The Terrorists" hate us
because
the
U.S. has been terrorizing them for decades. We have entered the
Terrorism/Industrial Complex. Rights are disappearing.
The economy
is in chaos. Millions are in prisons or jails. The "Bush" Laws need to
be changed or eliminated. Contact your Representative or Senator and
tell them you want, you demand the return of your Rights. still a Committee Chairman? Thankfully, he has announced that he will not seek reelection in 2012. Hopefully America survives long enough to celebrate his departure! Corporate profits are raising as the levels of corruption and greed have risen to previously unknown heights. While CEOs build mansions, stockholders are being wiped out. Retirement accounts have gone drastically downward. Hard working citizens are being fired. Millions have no health care. The economy is in shambles. Vote In Progressives* and Independents Washington voted almost unanimously to support the December 2008 invasion of Palestine and the slaughter of innocent women and children by the Israeli Army. Washington is trying to kill the UN Human Rights Commission's Goldstone Report because it tells the truth about Israel's war crimes. Washington claims to want the Mid-East Peace Talks to resume, while Israel's government continues build settlements on occupied territory. American arms are killing innocent civilians in occupied Palestine.Washington needs to cut off funding to Apartheid Israel. For real information on what is happening in Israel and Palestine, see http://theonlydemocracy.org/ The zealots in Washington have lost touch with reality. They don't give a damn about you or your needs. The
Democrats took control of the house in 2006 and have done nothing to
end the wars. They voted to spend additional billions with no
withdrawal plans. They also voted to give
Telecommunication companies immunity from prosecution for their illegal
wiretapping.
Now, they have allowed the World Financial Markets to melt down. Markets have seen their largest decline since the Depression. Congressional and Senate Committee after Committee has failed to regulate the markets and now they have bailed out Wall Street to the tune of more than a trillion...And nothing in their bills helps Main Street. After over a decade of grassroots organizing and lobbying, the global water justice movement achieved a significant victory when the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to affirm "the right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right that is essential for the full enjoyment of life and all human rights." The resolution—put forward by Bolivia and co-sponsored by 35 states—passed overwhelmingly with 122 states voting in favor and 41 abstaining. The U.S., Canada, Britain, New Zealand, and Australia were among the cowards who abstained from voting. Every Committee Chairman/woman needs to be replaced. Please Vote Out more Incumbents in the next election. Let President Obama know that you want real CHANGE. Send your comments and suggestions to: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ There IS something else we can do. In addition to Cleaning the Entire House, Bush and Cheney need to be put on trial. They have both openly admitted to authorizing torture.

Throw the Bums Out Vote Out All Incumbents An essay by Thomas Daly It has become evident that out Life, our Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness have been jeopardized beyond endurance by the willful acts of a political elite which has betrayed our Common Welfare, the Promise of the Constitution, and the Meaning of America. Although ever posing as the country's – and the people's – central but divergent legislative forum, Congress and the Senate have long been deceptively converted into a distant, tightly guarded conclave, wholly dedicated to its own perpetual incumbency as a despotic national directorate; a ruling aristocracy, embracing none but indoctrinated and pre-indentured Republicans and Democrats. Central to their power is the unrestrained capacity to surreptitiously bleed-off, and confiscate an ever larger measure of productive people's earnings and thus abridge their right to acquire property and the validly of unencumbered private ownership. Today it is the flagrant encroachment upon the people's constituted rights that reveals a design to reduce the populace into divided, non-cohesive clusters of politically muzzled factions, stripped of common will. The People's given right to freely choose their representatives has been artfully debased. Vast streams of clouded money - hundreds of millions annually – soiled by pandering and graft determine who will run and who will not, who is to be supported and who is not. Party labels notwithstanding, money is then laundered into the campaigns of those deemed to have honed the slickest tongues with which to bedazzle an already stupefied electorate. Those perceived to pose a threat to the common goals and welfare of Congress as a two-faced ruling dynasty need not apply. Because the average citizen is no longer able to buy into the high stakes game, We, the People, have become the fodder on which politicians feed. Primary elections have come to be a mocking ruse which limits ballot entry to highly-financed, consummate political practitioners, all party loyalists. Candidates for Congress and the Senate with few exceptions, are predisposed by money-raking party overlords and their wide ranging cohorts. Voter opinion is deemed disruptive, a menace to the system, and has effectively been rendered impotent. The electorate, as such, has been goaded into political captivity where it is still allowed to vote in general elections – but only as to the cut and color of the uniforms the guards will wear. At this point both houses of Congress, conceived to be the lungs by which freedom breathes, are deadly cancers in the weakened body of democracy. America's industrial economy, backbone of all the people's being, is critically injured, sick and bleeding; it needs transfusions and intensive care, not placebos and a sedative. Once freed from bureaucratic lording and politically licensed plunder, the economy will be able to recuperate and provide a decent, justly earned living for all Americans able and willing to participate, as well as adequately cater to deserving social needs. America's recovery will not originate in Moscow, Baghdad, Kabul, Tel Aviv, Rio, Munich, Tokyo, Madrid, or Mexico City; it must be mounted in the silenced halls of industry, the shuttered factories, throughout the towns and cities of America. For most all incumbents of either party to run for reelection amidst the present economic turmoil, grinding unemployment, budgets based on borrowed funds, smoldering civil unrest, and lack of public confidence in Congress, shows a degree of insolence that is incompatible with conscientious, innovative, and beneficial governance. Incumbents pointing at performance, claiming character and courage, honesty, vision, expertise and leadership, is, at best, perplexing, if not a rankling recitation of patent falsehoods. A universal lack of purpose, insight and awareness can no longer be obscured, tolerated or ignored. Such glaring absence of fundamental human values has made for farcical theatrics to assume the role of just and prudent leadership. Their misconduct, their skewed morals – not the people's – have broken families and torn the ethics, the moral fiber of society. ![]() |
