Will Senate Democrats protect Medicare and Medicaid?

There is a petition going around to get Senate Democrats to commit to a position on cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. So far, many have been tight-lipped about their stance on the subject. This is one of the biggest problems with the Democrats. They are too weak to take a position. The Republican party and, their illegitimate child, the Tea Party, may be bat shit crazy but they have resolve. Tell your Senator to answer the question: “Will you support cuts to our Medicare or Medicaid benefits? Yes or no?” Earlier this month, we hand delivered a letter to the...

Bloomberg backs down on Occupy Wall Street “cleaning” eviction

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, billionaire (roughly $18 billion) and 13th richest person in the United States, announced a few days ago that the Wall Street occupiers needed to leave for a few days so that the park could be “cleaned”. Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, said the park had become unsanitary since the occupation began so it needed to be power washed. Ok, fair enough on the park needing to be cleaned. That many people in such a closed space will cause that to be necessary. However they apparently weren’t extending the fairness of assumption of...

NY’s Billionaire Mayor Bloomberg Says Occupy Wall Street Is Trying To Destroy Jobs

Yes you read the title right. On his weekly radio show, Bloomberg said the Occupy Wall Street protests “aren’t productive” and not good for tourism. Wall Street is the pillar of the New York state economy, making up 13 percent of tax contributions. “The protests that are trying to destroy the jobs of working people in this city aren’t productive,” Bloomberg said. Michael Bloomberg is apparently clueless or just wants to ignore reality. The protesters are rallying against corruption in those jobs. What I’d like to ask the Mayor is how good is the greed and corruption in those industries...

Obama Utilizing Twitter To Have The People Push Republicans On The American Jobs Act

President Obama said he was going to take the jobs bill to the public and he wasn’t kidding. BarackObama.com launched a new service today called “Tweet for Jobs”. “A new tool to help you urge your Republican legislators to pass the American Jobs Act.” The tool locates your Republican representatives and shoots off a tweet to them urging them to get behind the bill. This is how you use modern technology and social networking to reach the people. I think Obama could have used this tool during the Debt Ceiling negotiations to help him avoid bending while the Republicans held...

Dr. Cornel West At Occupy Wall Street Protest “The elite will tremble in their boots.”

Dr. Cornel West, Princeton University professor and activist, showed up at the Occupy Wall Street protest and spoke to the crowd joining the likes of Immortal Technique and Michael Moore among others. He makes the point here that unity is key. “When you bring folks together, all colors, all cultures, all genders, all sexual orientations, the elite will tremble in their boots.” True indeed as long as those people persevere and stay united. Time will slowly wear on supporters and with these protests largely going ignored by those elite it will take more of it to get their serious attention....
