Interview: Chris Savage. You Don’t Know Him Yet. But You Will. | A2Politico

"Chris Savage (pictured left in a photo taken by his wife Anne) and his wife live in Dexter, Michigan. Chris is the voice behind the progressive-leaning Eclectablog. Well, actually, progressive-leaning is putting it mildly. Chris Savage is a guy who thinks Democrats who voted for Rick Snyder are fucking stupid. He posted this comment on A2Politico in response to a recent piece about Ann Arbor Democrats who financially supported Snyder’s candidacy:

“Hey! Where’s the ‘I’m a Democrat who wasn’t stupid enough to vote for a Republican governor’ option??? I told you guys so. I totally did ; )”

Chris posts his writing at The Daily Kos as well as the site Blogging for Michigan. A recent piece he wrote about the “takeover,” as he puts it of Benton Harbor by the State of Michigan’s Emergency Financial Manager Joseph Harris, was picked up by MSNBC political analyst Rachel Maddow. As it turns out, Chris doesn’t only write, he’s a chemist by day, as well as a devoted local food movement supporter, baker and all around writing enthusiast. A2Politico caught up with Chris Savage and got him to slow down long enough to answer a few questions about blogging, politics and, yes, his need for attention." Full Article Here | A2Politico

Facing protests, Pscholka withdraws from Blossomtime parade | Michigan Messenger

Facing protests, Pscholka withdraws from Blossomtime parade | Michigan Messenger

"State Rep. Al Pscholka (R-Stevensville), House sponsor of Michigan’s Emergency Manager law, has announced that he will not participate in the annual St. Joseph/Benton Harbor Blossomtime parade this Saturday because people are planning to protest.

Pscholka’s bill, which was signed into law in March, has been used to strip the Benton Harbor City Commission of all decision making power, a move that has inspired protests, national television coverage, calls for legal action and an effort to recall him.

In a Facebook message Pscholka said that the parade, which will be lead by Gov. Rick Snyder, “is not, in any way, a tasteful forum for political dialogue.”

“When I got word that there was a possibility of protestors at the Blossomtime Parade, I was deeply disappointed and angered, to say the least. With every indication that the protests will still take place there, I have made the decision not to participate as part of the parade procession." Full Article| Michigan Messenger

Facebook Page | We Want Elizabeth Warren

We Want Elizabeth Warren

sorry these links are not live.. go to info page on FB...

This is a grassroots campaign to support the nomination and confirmation of a true champion of the middle class, Elizabeth Warren, to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Description
Harvard Law School Professor Elizabeth Warren developed the idea of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help protect consumers from the abusive practices of the financial sector. In order for her to lead it, she must be nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate by July! The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Bankers Association and other K-Street lobbyists are working to destroy her chances because they fear her. We're sick of being abused by the banks! We're sick of being marginalized in the political process! We are creating the U.S. Chamber of Citizens to campaign for her appointment.

The persistent myths of the "self-correcting free market," the "invisible hand," and "trickle-down economics" are hurting America. With the Great Depression and now the Great Recession as irrefutable, empirical evidence, the American people are beginning to recognize the fact that the game on Wall Street is easily rigged, and, we must find ways to regulate it so that consumers are protected from abusive practices.

We the People will fight for a strong Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There are many powerful and wealthy enemies of consumer protection, and often they express their power by inserting themselves into our political process through direct lobbying, shady campaign financing, and political advertising conglomerations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

We must demand a White House nomination and Senate confirmation of Elizabeth Warren as the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The make-or-break period will be from now until July, and this will be a primary focus for Coffee Party USA, and all Americans who willing to stand up to the ruling elite, stand up for economic fairness, and reverse our path to "feudalism with cable TV."
