Invest in Public Services jobs …


Dear Friend,

I just signed AFSCME’s Jobs Now petition and I hope you’ll join me by clicking on the link below.

The vital public services — and AFSCME jobs — that make America happen are on the chopping block as state and local governments face unprecedented budget shortfalls — right when these very services and jobs are needed most.

Our communities simply can’t afford to lose these jobs and crucial services that we provide Please join me and thousands of other AFSCME members: tell Congress to pass a jobs bill now and protect America’s workers.

America Happen” poster to proudly display at your workplace.

IMAO …


First of all, i support President Obama and always will.

The news or rumors about White House disagreements with leaders in our democratic party regarding how the Jobs and or Health-care Reform bills will look like as well as the other rumor… do big d Dems have the guts to get anything passed into law have become subject to constant jokes.

Those of us that voted democrats into office are asking: what is going on with the Senate that our Democratic Representatives, who, by all accounts are in the majority yet, cannot get the job done. My question today… do Senate Democrats really want to follow this President and his agenda or are we seeing a quiet revolt disguised in fake cooperation? you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know Republicans plan to just say no; hoping this will help them win back seats, maybe, but then that would mean going back to the status quo.

The so-called bipartisan summit invite was delivered on Friday and the show down or up is going to happen. It’s obvious that Republicans want President Obama to fail and don’t see how being the Party of no and obstructing everything Democratic until the 2010 elections as a bad thing; the Obama Administration has not shown all Americans (independents)  that Republicans have no real plans, well, unless eliminating Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, handing out tax cuts to a select few is what you want and to give more money toward military defense.

We all have our opinions about what is going on…okay, so i am speculating too…at first i thought it was about Obama then it seemed like too much info was being leaked from the White House; stories about this or that, and then the Media started saying Obama advisers who had previously worked for the Clintons were talking, this sent an alarm off in my head.  Had Plouffe spent all this energy; brought this man into office only to have Rahm say ok we will take over from here? Rahm is a moderate, a clintonite who quite possibly didn’t like half of what Obama’s campaign was all about in the first place, so the agenda was altered, changed and here we are now…

I don’t know what happened but 1year later and David Plouffe is back; whew, because i kept writing where is david plouffe; that this is not the guy Barack Obama, whom i voted for, doesn’t seem to be the guy that 53% voted into office and i question everything that has happened to get us to this point, what is going on? people are mad, again,a lot of people want the guy we all voted for back in the game and promising the change we all voted for. it is not lost on me how most of these appointments are ex-Clinton folks and while that is not a bad thing,  isn’t the change we all voted for message different from the Clinton’s?

Republicans continue to hold up the President’s nominations that could help run the country better and it confuses me to think any sane person would now lean toward or vote for a Political Party who is willing to and feels this is an appropriate way for government officials to behave.

Friday&weekend news or reviews of the House and Senate Wrap UP/cspan …but you have to see lawrence o in action


While the news of the day on Friday was definitely about the death of  luger Olympic Athlete; Nodar Kumaritashvili from the Republic of Georgia; the World mourns his death and the Olympic Committee dedicated the opening of the Olympics to him.

The news of White House disagreements about the Jobs and or what the Health-care Reform bill will look and or how to get something passed into law continues on.  The  formal HCR summit invite was sent out to Republicans and some big D dems on The Hill continue to use cable tv to complain, the big assault in Afghanistan seemed to be on the move and from various reports it will include offensives on the drug industry that helps finance the Taliban,dick cheney did a generational change on dont ask dont tell and now agrees it’s time to repeal it,this is def a cultural change for him,  on Saturday the President named his US envoys  to the Muslim World and Pan-Islamic.
