Insurance companies and their friends at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are trying to roll back health care reform and decimate bedrock programs like Medicare and Medicaid. We have to expose their campaign of lies and misinformation. We won't let these greedy billionaires go unchecked and buy our elections in a corrupt system where corporations are "people" and money is "speech." Working together we can fight back and win.

. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and cause me to tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the MONEY POWER of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed.

In Response to U.S. SUPREME KOCH: Yesterday we renamed the Supreme Court the 'U.S. Supreme Koch" with a giant 30-foot banner. The U.S. Supreme Koch is a better name for a court that has engineered a hostile takeover of our country by the billionaire Koch brothers and other corporate special interests. Thanks to the Citizens United ruling, multinational corporations can now secretly spend unlimited amounts of money to steal our democracy. Insurance companies and their friends at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are trying to roll back health care reform and decimate bedrock programs like Medicare and Medicaid. We have to expose their campaign of lies and misinformation. We won't let these greedy billionaires go unchecked and buy our elections in a corrupt system where corporations are "people" and money is "speech." Working together we can fight back and win.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Nov. 21, 1864 In Response to U.S. SUPREME KOCH : Posted by creppelrm Propaganda specialists have been able to convince people to vote republican cause they support the "job creators" and declare "corporations are people". Truth is labor built this country...most often underpaid labor. The only help labor got was from unions and a 5 day work week, workers' compensation, vacations, sick leave, unemployment ins, minimum wages. "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own -- nobody. " "You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory -- and hire someone to protect against this -- because of the work the rest of us did. "Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless -- keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along." May God Bless Elizabeth Warren. |
