Supreme Court Removes Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations
This effectively ends democracy, as one person one vote becomes one dollar one vote, with corporations holding trillions of dollars to sway any election their way. Look to Haiti to see how this will effect those who are not wealthy, and the Peoples Republic of China to see how the government will operate in relation to the governed.
Brown Defeats Coakley, End of Obama Agenda
Whatever hopes the Democratic Party had for getting things done just went right out the window, since now the GOP has a firm block for filibustering anything they don’t like. I guess the only upside for many Democrats is the Joe Lieberman just became politically irrelevant to both the Democrats and the GOP, barring some unlikely defection from the GOP.
US Alone, Still won’t Ratify UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The United States has taken over 15 years now “to undertaking a thorough and thoughtful review of the Convention of the Rights of the Child”. Meanwhile, a report of child abuse is officially recorded every 10 seconds. More than 28,000 have died waiting for the United States to sign the treaty and act upon it since Clinton signed the treaty.
Did Congress Fund Relocating Hamas to US?
I have no love loss for Obama, and in fact I disagree with how he has handled many things. But these lies distract from the truth, and make the truth to seem to be lies. And, I believe, they have but one purpose. To bring down the United States through a campaign of disinformation.
Congress Passes Hate Crimes Legislation
Current federal hate crimes law only covers attacks motivated by race, color, national origin or religion. The new bill, when signed by President Obama, adds sexuality and gender identity, as well as protects military personnel from attacks arising from bias against the military. The new bill also removes the requirement that federal investigation and prosecution could only take place if the attack took place while participating or attempting to participate in a federally protected activity, such as voting or going to school.
When Will Obama Act?
…what is needed is not pretty speeches, not flowery press releases. We need action, leadership, and courage. We need a President willing to do what is right and just, regardless of politics, like Johnson. We need a tough Commander in Chief to end a senseless policy that harms national security, like Truman. We need a leader willing to take bold action for the good of ALL Americans, like FDR. We need a President who actually believes it is his or her job to uphold ALL of the Bill of Rights (especially Amendment XIV, Section 1), not just the parts he or she agrees with.
Health Care Hysterics, er, Reform
Clearly, something needs to change. Having tens of millions of US Citizens without any access to health care services beyond rudimentary emergency care presents a very serious health risk for the entire nation on a number of levels. Add to that millions of immigrants, both legal and illegal, who are also uninsured or underinsured, and you have all the ingredients of a health care disaster. Problem is, the insurance issue isn’t only one crashing the health care system.
Hate 101: The Media, Birthers, Teabaggers, and Deathers
One look at the news over the last few weeks, and anyone would reasonably think the United States was about to come apart at the seams. To say the national debate on various issues has become a bit heated would be an understatement. From gun-toting protesters to shouting matches at so-called “town hall meetings,” to also-ran and former politicians attacking everything about this country, hardly a day goes by when many of us aren’t left wondering what the hell is going on.
