President Obama, if you cut Medicare and Medicaid, don't ask for my help in 2012 | Progressive Change Campaign Committee
Sign the petition:
President Obama: If you cut Medicare and Medicaid benefits for me, my parents, my grandparents, or families like mine, don't ask for a penny of my money or an hour of my time in 2012. I'm going to focus on electing bold progressive candidates -- not Democrats who help Republicans make harmful cuts to key programs.

Judge to decide fate of lawsuit challenging collective bargaining law by week's end
http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_71ed75b8-6607-11e0-93e5-001cc4c03286.html
A Dane County judge will decide by the end of the week whether to dismiss Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk’s lawsuit over a new state law limiting collective bargaining for most public employees.
Falk’s lawsuit challenges the law on several fronts, including an alleged open meetings violation by a legislative conference committee, lack of a sufficient quorum by the state Senate when it voted on the conference committee’s bill and the negative impact the law would have on local governments.
Ron Johnson (R-China): Says U.S. Corps SHOULD Get Tax Break for Sending Jobs to China!
http://uppitywis.org/blogarticle/ron-johnson-r-china-says-us-corps-should-get-tax-break-sending-j
Recently the Senate's Budget committee had a hearing on corporate tax subsidies and how they have significantly hampered tax revenues. This is one of the few topics that rookie Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson actually knows something about: The plastic company his father in law gave him has gotten millions in corporate tax subsidies over the years.
But, this is no longer "businessman" Ron Johnson this is Senator Ron Johnson, who recently got elected almost entirely on sounding the alarm of the skyrocketing deficit. Senator Ron Johnson would be all over this, right?!?
GOP Busted: Paying for & Training Tea Party Activists In Guerilla Internet Tactics “Control the Online Dialogue.”
http://current.com/news/93149403_gop-busted-paying-for-training-tea-party-activists-in-guerilla-internet-tactics-control-the-online-dialogue.htm
From the film Astro Turf Wars: How Corporate America Is A Grassroots Revolution, this clip shows Austin James of the conservative Republican funded American Majority training tea party activists on guerrilla internet tactics to “control the online dialogue.”
The footage was shot at the 2009 American Liberty Tour, run by a group of libertarian groups tied to real-estate mogul and Koch associate Howie Rich. The clip is taken from a section of the film showing how libertarian/free-market groups are recruiting tea party protestors into their cause.
Now if only activists on the left would stop spending all their time arguing with each other on e-mail listservs and in Facebook group comments and get the message about how to do this too, American democracy might have a chance to recover from the past 30 years of corporate and religious Republican dominance in the fight for the hearts and minds of the public.
We need to find a way to fight back or we will loose our democracy and we will have a corporate plutocracy!

AUDIO: TODAY'S SPEACH: President Obama On The Deficit And Debt Reduction
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/04/13/135380381/live-blog-president-obama-on-the-deficit-and-debt-reduction
"Saying that lawmakers need to come together in a bipartisan manner as they did in the 1980s and 1990s to tackle the exploding federal deficits and debt, President Obama offered his proposals today for how to get the government's books in order. He said his plan would cut $4 trillion from deficits over 12 years, and that it includes trims in spending on defense and health care, as well as the end of the so-called Bush-era tax cuts for wealthier Americans."

Michigan Stands for Democracy
"Respect the office of the public servant. It is a sacred duty — whether or not the person currently occupying the office is fully cognizant of its real obligations or not. At any rate, the office-holder works for you. His job is to represent your concerns and your interests to the legislature in Lansing, not to PR the interests or the wildest dreams and wish-lists of some corporation in Wichita or some crypto-lobby in Washington to you.
You are calling your employee to account for the quality of his job performance, including how and where he spent his time while supposed to be working on your clock and payroll. That is all you are doing — and that is your right.
So be a nice boss, but be a firm boss, and don't forget for a moment who is boss."

"Earlier today, pranky activist group the Yes Men, posing as General Electric, issued a press release announcing that the company would be “gifting its entire 2010 tax refund, worth $3.2 Billion, to the US Treasury on April 18, Tax Day.” Amazingly, the Associated Press ran with the bogus story. And the timing could have been more perfect.
In the past few weeks, it has been widely reported that GE paid no taxes last year despite profits exceeding $14 billion."

Fairfield, CT, 13th April, 2011 - GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt has informed the Obama administration that the company will be gifting its entire 2010 tax refund, worth $3.2 Billion, to the US Treasury on April 18, Tax Day, and will furthermore adopt a host of new policies that secure its position as a leader in corporate social responsibility."

"We want the public to know that we've heard them, and that we know many Americans are going through tough times," said GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt. "GE will therefore give our 2010 tax refund back to the public and allow the public to decide how to spend it."
I decided to leave this post intact as I DID fall for the hoax and it provided me a very interesting sets of experiences (not sure I needed another roller coaster ride this morning)....

US Uncut has staged 160 actions against corporate tax cheats in just six weeks, and we're just getting started. The impact of our movement will only continue to grow as more people hear our message and start taking action in their communities.

Titled, Pupils feel pinch of poverty, the newspaper failed to touch on any of the possible causes for the decline and also left out scads of pertinent information. One item they left out is the number of homeless school children - over 350. Instead they wrote about the personal struggles of several Janesville students trying to keep their head above water, which isn't difficult to relate to considering this is Rep. Paul Ryan's hometown. To the newspaper's credit, they at least didn't try to hide one important number. The fact that nearly half of Janesville's school district kids live in poverty. You read that right. 47.3% of children in the Janesville school district are living in low-income homes. Of note is a percentage chart the newspaper produced that shows poverty among school children has been on a relentless upward trajectory since 2000, interestingly the beginning of Rep.

“This is slamming the door shut for the people who need the services the most.” – County Board Supervisor.
“This cuts the Tech Colleges by 30%. We graduate 400,000 students a year and place 94% of them in jobs. We already have 1,400 people on a waiting list.” -- CVTC board member.
“Cutting off the UW Madison from the UW system is like cutting off the head of the horse and expecting it to run.” -- Extension Committee member.
“I make $11.57 an hour. I am losing 50% of my first paycheck every month…I would have liked to go to the Joint Finance Committee hearings but I can’t because of the price of gas.” -- Custodian.
“Eliminating the requirement for cost effectiveness studies is just plain dumb. Just like the selling off of power plants.” -- Eau Claire resident.
“You know ‘Eau Claire’ means ‘clear water.’ Our college students love playing in the river. Thirty years ago the rivers were so bad you couldn’t go into the rivers. We don’t want to go back to those days.” -- Worker on Water Street.
“International mining companies are coming to Trempealeau County. If Trempealeau County loses any more resources the very people who oversee this [mining] will lose their ability to protect the environment and the health of the people…We need to make choices for the good of our community.” -- County Supervisor.

It is similar in important ways to the public campaign system that enabled me and many other candidates to run for the Wisconsin State Legislature despite having only average means and without having to depend on special interest funding. Not only will it open the doors of Congress to average Americans, it will take the election process – fundamental to our democratic form of government – back from the special interest influences."
