[Mr. Anderson]

The productivity of the American worker is up 105% in the last 25 years.

The pay raise for the American worker is up 2% in the last 25 years.

CEO's of corporations now make 450 times more than the workers.

For the first time since the Great Depression Americans can't save any money.

The American middle class has an all time high credit debt.

Bush and all the evil NeoCons who have squeezed the life out of the American people with their tax relief and benefits for the rich suck.

It's time to revolt.

I am standing by my window screaming, "I've had enough and I won't take it anymore!"

[MAGI]

Don't jump!

Hope Congress hears us and realize what it (they have) has done!

Earlier today, I had the eerie feeling that if we all don't demand that Congress take away the power of the sociopathic WHcabal that has duped us into war in the Middle East and stole from the Middle Class to enrich themselves, our world is doomed!

"The good Old Boys" have compromised us into loss of our Democracy, to the detriment of everyone!

Will our presidental leadership be able to live with the proof we have of their lies and the damage they caused? Will they force a nuclear war because they are exposed and take us ALL to to hell with them?

Will Congress take away the power they have willfully handed them throughout these past 27 years of Selfish Greedy Robbers, that slowly but steadily stole away our Democracy?

Plutocracy is what we now have! Government of, by, and for......... the wealthy!

Will we take it back?

:evil:

Hi, MAGI. You are a witch too! Ha, ha, ha, ha ... Your guides are telling you truely, MAJI, and you said very well what the stakes may well be if impeachment does not happen. Sean Penn is now howling for impeachment and many many other groups and organizations are too. Evil is in this great land. Death and destruction is in waiting for America's il-elite (my coined word), for all who are not of THE (evil) elite. Thank you for sharing the warning you were given with us!

[Mr. Anderson]

Since the Grand Lizard Evil One stole the election in 2001, he and his slithering Power Lords of Doom have devasted the middle class and poor.

1. the number of poor Americans has climbed from 33m to 37m people

2. 12.6% of the population - 20% of children - live below the poverty line

3. 47m Americans - 17% of the population - lack health insurance, a record high

4. wages now make up the lowest share of national income - and corporate profits have grown to the largest share - since the federal government started collecting such data in 1947

5. private employers are dropping health insurance from their benefit plans, or requiring employees to pay premiums they can't afford

6. the number of Americans in debt, or at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure, is rapidly escalating

7. the share of income going to the richest 1% families has doubled from 1980 to 2004, while their federal tax burden has fallen by a third


Thanks MAGI, but I'm not the suicidal type. Not yet anyway. That was an attempt to reference a quote (I think) from the movie Network.

[MAGI]

Thank You, Mr.A,
I called my Representative and Senator's offices this AM (I only feel I have one Senator, unfortunately) and asked the clerks to convey my fear of what our devious administration may do, in trying to wriggle their way back under their rocks, since we all know how and why they manipulated their way to war with Iraq. Thanked them for beginning the investigations and asked them to get impreachments rolling because of all the corruption and evidence of unlawful acts against "We The People" by this WHcabal.

I plan to send along e mails as well today.

I'm noticing other bloggers feel the same intensity. I hope we flood their offices with calls and mail this week.

Stand Up And Be Counted
By Christy Hardin Smith @ 5:05 am


Digby has a fantastic post on the recent James Fallows article in The Atlantic regarding stopping escalation in Iraq and also stopping the ramp up to war with Iran that keeps rumbling out of the Bush Administration with all the force of the neocon hunger behind it. As Digby says:

In a sane world, the congress would move very quickly on this before that notion jells. But it won't, because they believe they must allow the president to have all "options on the table," — a "duty" which Republicans repeatedly failed to fulfill when Clinton was in office and which an earlier group of Democrats understood to be nonsense. Still, that seems to be where they are, at least with respect to Iran. Not only are they not prepared to stop it, they are either silent on the issue or actively supporting the premise upon which the president's argument is built.

Still, we must at least begin to make this case and this James Fallows article is an excellent first step. I particularly liked this part, because it is absolutely true and shows the seriousness of the danger we are in:

If we could trust the Administration’s ability to judge America’s rational self-interest, there would be no need to constrain its threatening gestures toward Iran. Everyone would understand that this was part of the negotiation process; no one would worry that the Administration would finally take a step as self-destructive as beginning or inviting a war.

But no one can any longer trust the Administration to recognize and defend America’s rational self-interest — not when the President says he will carry out a policy even if opposed by everyone except his wife and dog, not when the Vice President refuses to concede any mistake or misjudgment in the handling of Iraq.

We are dealing with an administration that handled the overriding message of the mid-term election by doing exactly the opposite and escalating the war. They are not responsive to anything, not even political considerations. They are obsessed with their own legacy and if that means selling their own party down the river, they will do that too. There is nothing to stop them.

But there is something to stop them. A welling up of sentiment from the voters of this nation, so strong that it cannot be ignored. If ever there were a time to stand up and be counted — to tell your elected representatives exactly how you feel and why — this is it.

If for no other reason than this, as Digby says:

As Bush and Cheney get more and more unpopular, their legacy becomes more and more predicated on the fact that they did the unpopular thing for the greater good. The more unpopular they get the more they have to prove.

Think for a moment about that. And then start writing a letter to fax to your members of Congress. Give their offices a call and register your thoughts. Send a few e-mails to local offices. Show up at a town meeting or to a local office and speak to someone in person about this. Write a letter to the editor — make it concise and on point and free of invective because the object is to get it published. Send in questions to online media chats. Talk to the folks at the beauty salon or the barber shop or at work or at the family dinner. Call in to your local talk radio. Call into C-Span. Send everyone you know an e-mail with a link to the Fallows article and ask them to do the same.

Do something. And do and do it now.
