    Obama, Big Pharma, Money and the Public Option

    After all the flip flops and disappointments that are piling up around the President, his recent deal with the pharmaceutical companies is a hard pill to swallow. Here is a 53 minute film about these scumbag companies.

    Our system is broken - Columbian LTE

    Beautifully said Bob although I think we are beyond, “If you care, voice your outrage to Congress.”, making any difference at all.

    Many in our country labor under the illusion that we are a representative democracy and a beacon of freedom to the world. In reality, we are a fascist, corporate-controlled country.

    We are a beacon to corporations and executives who are free from regulation, can buy [...]



    The Real Bankruptcy — Congress

    Money buys results in Congress. Return on investment is estimated at 22,000% on money given to Congress. Money is the Model. – Lessig

    Our Representative Baird voted for the Bankruptcy Bill in 2005.

    Change Congress. Support the Fair Elections Now Act.

    Go Sestak

    Actions have consequences…

    Wouldn’t it be great if Specter had his petuddy(sp) handed to him by a challenger that actually acts like a true Democrat in the primary?  We need a massive amount of new blood in Congress.  This will be a test if people in Pennsylvania value seniority over Democratic issues.  There is no way anyone can argue Arlen is good [...]

    Well it is official.  America tortured people.  And the people that committed these crimes and the people that devised these crimes are not going to be prosecuted or otherwise investigated.  Rahm Emanuel said so yesterday on TV.  [...]

    President Obama and Congress: Please investigate, possibly prosecute and most certainly put forth new legislation to prevent any future torture being committed by our government. Do not condone what was done. Walk the talk. Do not put us at much higher risk of repeating these crimes in the future.
