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...
Update: Pepper Spray happy NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna Is punished…not really NYPD Police Officer Anthony Bologna most recently known for pepper spraying corralled female protestors during the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstration isn’t new to the type of behavior he displayed on September 24th.

At the moment there are 22 items being voted on. Leading the way...

The filmmaker was visibly giddy when saying expressing his happiness to be there. “I have spent over 20 years fighting Wall Street, General Motors, health insurance companies, the whole lot of them. A lot of that has been alone or with just a very few people. It warms my heart to see all of you here.” – Michael Moore Indeed, Moore spoke to that end in the...
