Anti-Corruption Act Needs You

We need to make the Anti-Corruption Act a reality, but can't do it without citizens joining together.  You can help by telling your members of Congress.

Repugnants Self-Dillusioned

Repugnants are such self-serving frauds:
* Talking brave but bowing to paranoia;
* Talking patriotism, but promoting legislation that hurts our economy;
* Blaming their faults and failures on someone else;
* Talking sooooo intelligent, but seldom objectively considering the facts;
* Always claiming to help small business, but the only benefit small business gets from their policies is what dribbles down from mega-buck corporations for whom those policies were actually written;
* Talking Christian, but rarely, if ever, actually caring about 'the poor, the infirmed, the aged', or caring for the orphans and widowed. Absolutely NEVER 'loving their neighbors', much less 'loving their enemies';
* Demanding a strong and large military - so they can find a war and make billions for their industrial contributors;
* Talk about caring for and including all citizens, but do their utmost through deceit and manipulation to disenfranchise those who offer nothing to the Repugnant Party.

Do you support continued growth instead of going backwards?  Then go ahead and link to this, and send it out to others who want a future instead of returning to the past.

Was Biden Rude?

Short answer, NO.  I think we've all smirked or openly laughed at someone when their comments were ludicrous.  Ryan's comments were predominantly misleading or false.  Some half truths, but more than two-thirds of Ryan's comments in the debate (69%) were blatantly false according to various fact finding organizations.

Review of Pres Debate #1

The problem with getting your information and making a decision based solely on a debate is that either or both candidates can lie through their teeth, and you don't know it.  To be informed you really must look to their previous statements and records to ascertain the truth.

Both did well tonight.  Obama gave specifics and facts, a couple of which he did stretch a little.  Romney sounded good and held his own with generalized statements and accusations, which, according to several fact checking research organizations, went against his previous public statements, and against his written proposals.

Each Did More Than 5

Recently several of us reviewed U.S. legislation over the last half-century.  I admit I am a Democrat, but it was shocking even to me to learn that each of these men, both confronted with intense obstruction by the Republican party, produced more positive results in their INDIVIDUAL administrations "For the People" than the previous 5 Republican presidents COMBINED!  It was reassuring to learn that, if I truly care about my fellow citizens and my country, I am in the correct party.

Romney's 47% Lie

To Get To Romney's 47% Guess-timate Of U.S. "Moochers" You Have To Include:

• Everyone receiving Social Security (which they paid for when working).
• Everyone receiving a military pension (which they earned).
• Everyone that received a small business loan (which they're paying back).
• Everyone receiving a federal guaranteed student loan (which they must pay back, or have their wages garnered).
• Everyone that received a tax break for energy conservation improvements to their home,
• Everyone that received a government guaranteed mortgage (which most are paying back to VA, FHA, etc.),
• Every farmer/rancher that receives farm subsidies (mostly large agri-corps, so should be scaled back to benefit ONLY small farmers),

Who He's NOT Including:

• Oil companies that receive BILLIONS of U.S. tax breaks (which they've said they DON'T need),
• Large mining, lumber, and agri-corps that receive use of public land for a pittance of the true lease value,
• U.S. corps that manufacture goods in other countries with much cheaper labor, but import their goods to the U.S. at next to NO import tax, because they're "U.S. companies",
• Foreign companies that import to the U.S. at lower import fees because of trade agreements,
• Foreign nations, even "enemy" nations, given tax-free "sovereign embassy" properties in U.S.,
• Catholic and Mormon churches, that both hold vast profit-making, business properties, paying NO taxes on those business ventures, because they are religious institutions,
• And, certainly NOT least, Congress, who is nothing but a rich man's welfare club.
