Rachel Maddow: Mich Emergency Manager story “the most important & undercovered story of the year” « Blogging for Michigan

Last night, on his MSNBC show, Ed Schulz finished the evening with a piece about the Emergency Manager issue in Michigan. One particularly interesting point made by Rev. Alexander Bullock from the Greater St. Matthew Baptist Church of Highland Park, MI and also of Rainbow Push Detroit was that Emergency Managers can take control of the Clerk’s office when they take over a city. Since the City Clerks run the local elections, that has ominous portent for the future of democracy in our state.

During the hand-off from Ed Schultz to Rachel Maddow, it became clear that there was much more to come on the subject of Michigan’s Emergency Managers and indeed there was.

Occupy Grand Rapids - Christmas Letter

Christmas Wish List / Open Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

What I want for Christmas is a better world. I want greed, consumerism and the unrelenting devotion to climbing to the top of the pyramid to be replaced with cooperation, collaboration, and focus on our long term. I'd like corporations to be fundamentally structured for accountability and benefit to their workers, to their customers, to the overall effects of their operation . . .
