• Stand up for the working class
    I feel very strongly that Governor jerry Brown should not be going to giant corporations and asking them what regulations they would like to eliminate Gov Brown was elected by progressives and he should be asking the working class what he can do to help them not siding with giant corporations in an attempt to make the lives of the working class more difficult .

  • Speaker Boehner: Condemn Rep. Rohrbacher's hateful anti-immigrant attack against DREAMer Jessica ...
    18-year old DREAMer Jessica Bravo was visiting Rep. Dana Rohrbacher (R-CA) last week to talk about immigration reform. But when Jessica mentioned that she was undocumented, Rohrbacher let loose - yelling about how he "hate[s] illegals," chasing her out of the room, and threatening "now I know where you live." Disagreeing about issues is one thing, but nobody deserves to be attacked by the person elected to represent them. There is NO room for this kind of hate in our halls of power! As Speaker of the House, the buck has to stop with John Boehner. He needs to make clear whether he stands against this behavior or will tacitly endorse it.

  • Corporations Should Not Be People in the Eyes of the Law
    The Law in Utah says that the spending of money by corporations is protected by the US Constitution as free speech. People of Utah are having their rights stolen invisibly from them by corporations that influence and control our elections and decision-makers through unrestricted, unchecked and untraceable cash contributions. This is not free speech but the destruction of the difference between real people and corporations whose existence depends on state law, not divine creation.

  • Give your iPad back to the environment!
    The manufacture of the iPad is catastrophically bad for the world. From the manufacture of batteries that destroy our environment (and the burning of fossil fuels to supply them with power) to the Chinese slave labor that has to build them to the oceans that are destroyed by container ships, there is not one thing about this product that we consider to be environmentally or humanitarianly friendly. As a result, we are burying our iPads underground to give them back to the earth from whence they came and planting flowers over top of them. This will continue until congress forbids the import of this awful piece of "technology".

  • A tale of two financial 2008 Collapses
    Iceland; "Prime Minister indicted, 200 criminal charges against bank executives, Allowed Banks to FAIL, Forgave homeowners debt exceeding 110% of home value." U.S.A. ; " Zero criminal charges, Banks bailed out, Executives given Bonuses, Millions of foreclosures. VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY9CVDsbxAc "FINALLY someone (other than me) said it --- if the banks were lying at least 75% of the time to the regulators, pension funds, insurance companies, credit default swap counterparties --- obviously the most sophisticated people in the world of finance --- why do we suddenly turn the table over and play blame the victim when it comes to origination of the loan? Nothing could be more obvious than that the loans were nearly all based upon layers of lies, each layer seemingly supporting or corroborating the other, despite the fact that none of it was true." The GAME is to BLAME the borrower NOT the true thieves THE BANKSTERS! http://truth-out.org/video/item/14484-judge-rules-against-bank-precedent-could-cost-bank-of-america-billions http://livinglies.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/75-of-the-loans-and-bonds-were-based-on-lies-livinglies/

  • Petition to Keep Congress Square Park Public
    For the past year, the four councilors of the Housing and Community Development Committee (HCDC) have been hearing proposals from Rockbridge Capitol LLC, a national investment corporation specializing in renovating and then reselling hotels for a return on their investment. Rockbridge has offered two proposals to build upon Congress Square Park, both of which have been rejected. A third proposal has been promised to the HCDC since August of 2012 and has yet to materialize. Meanwhile the city-formed committee, the Congress Square Redesign Study Group (CSRSG) has been waiting in the wings to continue on with its work to revitalize the park. The goal of this petition is to prove public support for keeping Congress Square Park a public park. This proof will be presented to the HDCD to persuade them to drop the negotiations with Rockbridge and let the CSRSG continue on with the redesign on the park. Congress Square Park is the only public park in Portland's downtown arts district. The city's own vision plan refers to it as "the Heart of the Arts district". Never in the history of Portland have we sold one of our public parks. Let's not start now.

  • Fannie Mae: Don't evict our neighbor!
    Fannie Mae, the government-backed mortgage giant, is trying to evict our neighbor Vicenta Ortiz and her young children. Vicenta was foreclosed after being unfairly denied a modification on her predatory loan. A non-profit has offered to buy the home from Fannie Mae for current value and allow Ms. Ortiz and her family to stay in their Lynn, MA home with affordable payments. Instead, Fannie Mae is pushing forward with the eviction case. Details at http://www.LynnUnited.org/fannie-mae

  • Break up the mega-corporations into individual companies
    In 1974 the Justice Department (under Nixon) sued AT&T in an antitrust suit and won. They successfully split the Bell System into individual units. If this same model is used against todays corporations, millions of new middle class jobs will be created plus real opportunities for small business to succeed.
