We are with you!
The new Dictiorial EFM laws is the point of no return. Stand now or be silent forever.
Things are happening quickly now. With the Benton Harbor/Detroit incident and the deteriorating Middle East, not to mention the earth quakes/nuke disaster and ensuing economic downturn, many more cities will have the EFM plan put into action. To me that i...s the point of no return. If we allow the state government to casually replace the elected officials from a city at a whim, based on subjective criteria we will have allowed any pretense to self governance to vanish. No more will you be able to decide which politicians run your city and represent your local neighborhoods; you won’t even have a choice. Your neighbors, being found “too stupid” to manage your own accounts will have all power taken from you. You think government is bad now??? Wait until they are completely unaccountable to YOU. We need to learn everything about the EFM and the laws associated with it. It’s of dire importance that we understand the totality of this and what it means. This summer, will we witness our ability to self govern and our democracy destroyed, without a fight or… will we see it explode onto the center stage? There is little time to act; first we must educate ourselves on the various laws like the EFM.

Here is some footage of the citizen’s reaction to the city council meeting announcing the overthrow. http://www.youtube.com/user/FriendsofBHMI#p/u/3/ppG_BT-i_98 The gentleman at 3:55 is quite moving in his speech. We are witnessing democracy die people. There is no time to play ignorant. If you are unable to take action in your own life, at least support the work of others who are. Tomorrow is a physical day of action (One of many to come) Help support them by sharing the message and by paying attention tomorrow, searching the topic, sharing news stories and by not letting people ignore it! The movement is You, do something.See More

Maine Republican Governor Erasing History of Working People | AFL-CIO NOW BLOG

Maine Republican Governor Erasing History of Working People | AFL-CIO NOW BLOG

"Once again, Republicans are trying to erase the history of America’s working people. In Maine, Republican Gov. Paul LePage has ordered the removal of a 36-foot mural depciting the state’s labor history from the Department of Labor. The 11-panel piece in part depicts a 1986 paper mill strike and “Rosie the Riveter” at Bath Iron Works. Judy Taylor, an artist based on Mount Desert, won a 2007 competition to create the mural to depict the “History of Labor in the State of Maine.”"
