"Paying Attention is Now Critical"

How about we start with this:

"10 Reasons the USA is no Longer the Land of the Free"

Washington Post


It's my understanding that this Republican Primary for the presidential race will go on until May. And, by “go on” I mean more and more debates. THEN, it's predicted they will have an open Primary, anyway.

Personally, I'm sick of it. It isn't funny, any more. So, I plan to ignore it as much as possible. There's a reason the circus only comes to town once a year. A little bit goes a long way.


On our President's State of the Union Address, last week, I have no comment. I suggest you go to FactCheck.org and do exactly that. Check his facts.

While you're there, check the facts being tossed around in the Republican primaries. The outright and blatant lying is simply awesome!

Speaking of facts, or lack thereof, it's time (actually it's PAST time) to put broadcasters on notice:

"The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision has launched a new era of big-money politics. The wealthiest 1 percent now have unchecked power to pick and choose our nation’s leaders. And they’re doing it by spending tens of millions of dollars on televised political ads that leave voters awash in misinformation.

So where’s the broadcast media in all of this? Instead of exposing this runaway spending and separating fact from fiction in an election year, they’re lining their pockets with the winnings — to the tune of more than $3 billion dollars in 2012 ad buys."

Put the largest TV conglomerates on notice. Demand that broadcasters expose the money trail and cover election-year issues properly!

Petition to Broadcasters


It's common knowledge that our government has “borrowed” nearly three trillion dollars from the Social Security fund – and never paid a dime back. This started decades ago.

Now, Congress wants to raid the pension funds of Federal employees! The full story is here:

Treasury Dips Pension Funds

Am I the only person who finds it absolutely unacceptable that, instead of raising the taxes of the 1% to match those of the 99%, they simply steal other monies belonging to that same 99%? It's mind boggling to me that we can't put a stop to this!

And yet, they do it as if they have a perfect right - and with no apology!

Just sayin' ...
