6 PM CST 9/8/11 Be There a Call to action

We the people need to watch the President's speech. We need to call every media outlet to express our views the next morning. We need to call our members of Congress to ask why they were not there or how do they plan to stand with the President to get this country on track? President Obama has taught to me, a bellicose type human, the art of compromise. He has made every attempt to be peaceful in the face of blind hatred, disrespect, and obstruction. We need to support him tomorrow for Congress is not. Congress is wrapped snug in the pocket of the Koch brothers and friends.

Our government is by the people, for the people and of the people. We must stop being inactive critics and become active problem solvers. It is up to us for our Congress is not doing it. The have abdicated their jobs to 12 people. Really?!!

It is a shame the GOP felt a presidential debate was more important than hearing what the President has to say. It is pure hypocrisy for the GOP has been demanding for months that the President presents a plan. Why must the President present a plan when we have sent them to Washington to represent our plan for us? What has the GOP done in regards to creating jobs? Tax cuts? We have had tax cuts since 2001 but have lost more jobs since then.

We need to let Congress know that we vote not corporations. We need to let Congress know we are tired and the skillet has become too hot to handle. We need to be active. The time is now. So please pass this to your buddies; this call to action. We must make our voices heard via the MSM. We can start with Twitter and end with Fox News. Let's do this.

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
