GOP & AUSTERITY SUPPORTERS VS THE PROGRESSION Of The REST OF US

This is so true and presented with such honesty. Wish this young man had of realized that those that stood with him to right wrong ideas would also stand with him to right the wrong done to him had he let them know what he was up against. Most of us didn't even know the very young man's name behind the changes we supported much less that he was in need of our support and help. I'm very proud to have answered his call to pay attention and voice concerns about things that matter to many of us even though I didn't realize who was organizing things to get us to stand up for what I valued. He was 22 when this interview occured.

Here is a Great Blog from Nomadic Politics about why theIRSwas investigating Tea Party and GOP groups. From what I've read some left leaning groups were looked closely over as well. There are great links in support of the position of this blog writer.

One difference between left leaning and right leaning groups I've noticed is that the issues the right leaning groups seem to focus on are mainly political and anti-government in general while oddly enough endorsing people for the government that say they will use their power to take their own power away....or someone in the government’s power away. Normally the top people keep their power and it usually turns out to be the power of regulators, public services or lower level workers like teacher’s power they really want to limit rather than some “one” that has the power to shape real legislation that affects people all over the world.

Right leaning groups have three main social issues: Preventing abortion and promoting birth and right to be born. I wouldn't go so far as to say “life” since once those little ones get here the right seems to feel they need to arrive with boot strings, the right American blood line and not require healthcare or old age care., the right also make preventing gayness a main issue. Oh yes, there is a 4th  social welfare issue for the right which is making sure no one gets someone else's money just because they need it.

The left leaning groups seem to be more about issues that are only political if they have to be like healthy water, feeding people, caring for people who aren't caring or can't care for themselves, health, air, water, plants, freedom of the press to express views of everyone including the right side are social concerns of the left side.,, The left strongly is encouraging power and input of the masses to shape the future direction of the world (both left and right do this and that is the one great thing they have in common because together they are waking folks up and getting them involved).

Left groups put out info to encourage freedom to acquire knowledge as another important issue on the left, fair salaries, labor laws, and safe working conditions are other critical, social welfare issues for the left minded groups. Operating ethical and moral industry around the world is also a major issue for the left, along with rights of all subgroups and all various religions that do not hurt people (don't serve poison cool-aid), to live without fear of practicing their chosen religion. Many left groups also promote the interest of same sex couples.

Not all people on either side support all the issues of their dominate leanings., To me the left issues are more mass population invested,& seem to deal more with social welfare concerns with less involvement from big money like Kraft,, ATT, Comcast ,Koch’s Inc, McDonalds, and Wal-Mart, Dow,, Bayer and Monsanto. The right seems to attract the mega rich to push issues that mean they are more likely to gain more riches often at the cost of the population at large. This makes it hard for me to accept them as social welfare and all too often they look more like corporate welfare for tax exemptions and an even bigger power grab. 

There are many pushing for less regulation. This and the recent garment fire in India and the even more recent mine collaspe show that few companies really police critical issues well. It is all too easy to kick the can down the road thinking "someone" will deal with it later or maybe nothing will happen anyway.

Excerpt:

This is a good group to follow on your Facebook page. I think they were also the group that hosted 3rd party debates last year.

Obama doesn't always do what I want either but I know Mitt would have done the same or worse faster since he said as much. So allow me to redirect my concerns and detract you from the distractors:

Protect our natural food supply and wildlife from unproven Genetic Modifications and chemicals that can be harmful. They now call Obama Monsanto’s man because of who he has appointed to watch over these things in the FDA and USDA.

Do everything we can to inspire people to learn then enable them in every way to do that.

Encourage everyone to remember the best parts of their spiritual upbringing and act on that. They will find that it is contagious that way or at least respected. 

Stop the overreaching “in the name of protecting us and the country” of all the cyber security and copyright issues by walking all over our 1st and 4th amendment rights and due process Rule of Law. All this is being done “in the name of protecting us and the country” and is something else we do not need to take our eyes off of.

The fight to control the power, data and profits of the Internet by governments and industries alike is also a threat to our future. They may soon call Obama Big Media, Cable and ISP’s man as well because of his appointment of Wheeler to the FCC. Even though both parties have to support these people to make this happen.

This is happening this week in DC or it may have already moved faster than those making the organic seed alliance thought. Together, united, we can and do make a difference.

Call your senators and give your own message or use this one if you want:

Find your senators here or call the Senate switchboard and they’ll connect you: (202) 224-3121.

The message is this: “As the Senate debates the 2013 Farm Bill, I urge you to support the amendment sponsored by Senator Tester that aims to reinvigorate classical plant breeding to ensure farmers have the seed they need to be successful. Developing regionally appropriate seed varieties held in the public domain is paramount to the success of U.S. agriculture.”

TODAY IS THE MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO ON MAT 25th! This can be the START of the march! You may not usually do or even go to marches but how about joining in to spread the word and awareness by car painted signs like we do and see for wedding and celebrations?

There is NO risk of arrest, no getting run out of places for passing out pamphlets, hundreds or more people will see your message and millions if lots of us do this today or maybe even all week. It will be like supporting our local ball team. Occupy Food!

Write on your car this sunny day to tell Monsanto they suck and today the Senate that voted overwhelmingly to protect Monsanto's campaign money and power yesterday does too! Just do not use vulgar words. Skull and bones would be appropriate though.

More love from the farm bill.

This is a program some people, like elderly who will not get on welfare would at least accept this. If those people have to crawl and beg they won't do it...They will just eat less. My words to express my disgust are beyond any I can find.

Excerpt: (To which I agree)

I urge a major all points mobilization in support of Sen Elizabeth Warren's Bank on Students bill mandating that the Federal Reserve provide 0.75% cheap federal credit for federal student loans (Stafford loans) via the US Department of Education. This is so far as we know the first bill which proposes to force the Fed to provide cheap credit to something other than banks and financial institutions. The substantial benefits in interest savings to American students groaning under $1 trillion of high-interest student debt are obvious.

Here is the type of Non-Profit groups that define their organization as a non-profit "social welfare" tax-deductible group the IRS was checking out. Who's welfare do you think this bunch looks after? Do any of us remember voting for the corporations behind this to wine and dine our elected officials tax-free?

 Would some of you all like to take them on a paid holiday to sale your business interest as a non-profit? Someone in DC should have been fired for not checking out what made these corporate non-profit lobbyists tax-free.

 And we should be checking out why ALEX and others are doing things we elected certain officials to do with the input “we” gave them as our LOCALLY elected (not multi-national elected) representatives that actually work for ALEC.

  If our policy makers are sub-contracting their job to so called Non-Profits we didn't elect to represent us and we our not represented in their ALEC organizations directly than it is time to fire those people we voted for that are hiring others to do their job. These groups lobby and fund campaigns of their selected officials to look after their own for-profit interest....not social welfare which is the type of non-profit they claim to be and the only type that is tax-free that I'm aware of.

This is a pretty extreme statement but what do you think?
