Why I love blogging. 4/19/2012

I love blogging for I am free to be me. My being me means I am free to ask anyone I desire via my blog to support any cause I desire. My cause is to stop Tea Party exploitation of Americans and our natural resources. The best way to stop Tea Party from giving our rights to corporations is to elect strong Democratic leaders to office.

Please support: My name is Ron Barber, and I’m the Democrat running in the special election in the district that my friend Gabby Giffords represented in Arizona.

The next 48 hours are critical -- Tea Party Republican Jesse Kelly was nominated by Republicans on Tuesday to run against me in the special election.

Kelly is the same Tea Party candidate who came so close to defeating Gabby in 2010. He’s back with his plans to destroy Social Security and end Medicare. He'd even abolish the minimum wage.

The special election is just weeks away and we will need as much grassroots support as possible to defeat Jesse Kelly. Grassroots support was key to Gabby's victory in 2010, so we have set a goal to reach 1,000 new donors in the next 48 hours to show Jesse Kelly that we will not abandon middle class families. Can you help us reach this critical goal?

Contribute $3 or more to my campaign in the next 48 hours to help defeat Jesse Kelly >>

We've worked too hard and come too far to let Jesse Kelly go to Congress to kick the legs out from under the middle class. We simply can’t let Jesse Kelly finish Gabby's term in Congress.

Please help us send a powerful message that we have the momentum to win and contribute before the deadline.

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....
