Fellow Democrats:

Just in case you haven’t seen Alan’s new ad on TV yet, you can check it out on-line at the DailyKos:

Born in 1963 in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Rebecca Schneider grew up in rural western Pennsylvania in a middle class neighborhood.  Rebecca graduated from Mars High School in 1982 and Slippery Rock University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  During the course of attending College and working two, sometimes three jobs to pay her way, she set the course of her career when she began working in the library and currently works as a Library Supervisor for Arizona State University.

In these times of severe economic stress upon the middle class and the poor classes of our country, while the richest are becoming wildly richer, I beg of you to please support campaigns and legislation to correct the unfairness and to improve the distribution of economic wealth to those that properly deserve it.  
It is the workers of America that need your help, and need it now.
We have suffered greatly for many years, it is time to turn this around in favor of the working people of America instead of the wealthy.  It is time for the wealthy to payback what they owe the rest of us.

In recognition of Labor Day, here's a list of some of the current legislation in Congress affecting workers and businesses:
* H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. This act was passed by both the House and the Senate. It incrementally raises the federal minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour, with the final stage taking place in July 2009.

"One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic."

Joseph Stalin's infamous words.

This certainly seems to reflect corporate media's attitude to the ongoing slaughter in Iraq.

It is the 4th anniversary of Operation Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L) - the invasion was later renamed for PR reasons - and despite the US military's reluctance to 'do body counts' a number of other organizations are aware of the level of carnage. Rather than being described as an 'insurgency' it should more accurately be described as a 'holocaust'.

Appeasing The Gods Of The Shareholders

There was a time when, as a matter of policy, America went to war only as a response to an attack by an aggressor. In 1962 John Kennedy had every reason to make war with Cuba and Russia when Kruschev talked Fidel into parking several dozen  Soviet nuclear missiles ten minutes from Washington and 90 miles from spring break.

First they tried to con everybody into thinking that nobody would listen to progressive talk radio. Then when it became apparent that there was in fact an robust audience they tried to con us into thinking that nobody would support it. Of course we later found out they were working behind the scenes at the same time to get advertisers to blacklist our favorite shows. And now that progressive talk is having real political impact they are desperately looking for a way to slow it down, corrupt it, chip away at it, anything.

All over the country they are making deliberately bad business decisions by using ownership prerogatives to shut down outlets entirely, as in Madison, WI, where people rose up in revolt enough to beat them back, or in Boston where they got away with it. But they are not just attacking entire stations, they are working to replace individual personalities where they can with weaker voices.

For-profit corporations work better than government bureaucracy. Why not form a for-profit corporation to run our government in which the people are equal stockholders of non-negotiable stock? The people could have online referendums to do the hiring and firing of corporate employees and so on.

Warren Buffet has just given lots of money away to charities. Bill Gates gives lots away also. I don't know about Steve Jobs or any charity he supports. To me this just shows how too few have too much.

Ever since President Reagan there has been an attack on the middle class and democracy. President W.J. Clinton increased taxes on the rich to pay down the other Bush/Reagan's arms race/weapons debt. This Bush president has added more than any with his "unending treasury plunder for his illegal wars".

In the last three years the Bush admininstration has been working with the president of mexico and prime minister of canada for a pact of SPP. this was signed in 2005 in Waco, Texas.

In 2006 after the creation of SPP-security and prosperity partnership of american community. the Bush administration in Cancun, Mexico met again with 2 leaders for the creation of the North American Union, NAU.

this is a push by the corporate elites to form a NAU much like the european union. this administration has yet to address the american public as to this union. This union is being pushed into reality by the end of 2007.
