Republicans love the top 1% of the wealthiest Americans along with mega corporations and they will continue to protect, defend and support them at the expense of middle and poor Americans. Even the activist Republican Supreme Court has now given citizen status (Citizens United) to corporations as they overturned decade’s long precedent which prevented corporations from buying elections. President Obama called the ruling “a major victory for Big Oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.”
Republicans for years have provided the rich and corporations with massive tax breaks, yet they whine about the middle class and the poor who receive unemployment benefits in a recession they created, and they plan to reduce or eliminate Social Security and Medicare if they regain political leadership. The GOP fought against health care reform, the stimulus bill, banking reform and even financial reform for America’s college kids. Read more…

It continues to become evident the Republican Party and their Tea Bag followers are intent on leading the demise of the great American democracy along with the extinction of the Middle Class. Republicans for decades have launched a critical attack to support America’s wealthy and big business while destroying the very foundation of American life which sustained hardworking families for years.
Republicans have and continue to align themselves with Big Business having been joined by an activist right wing Republican Supreme Court.
If one thinks this is using extreme rhetoric, take a look at a few simple facts and judge for yourselves. Read more…

I stand for white Americans, yet, with false promises, I woo every minority group in the country.
I stand for big corporations and huge corporate profits; oppose tax breaks for Middle America and support two-thirds of U.S. companies and Exxon Mobile not paying income taxes.
I stand for big oil companies giving them massive tax credits and fighting regulation to protect America’s environment, while allowing them to write America’s Energy Policy.
I stand for big health insurance companies and the deaths of 45,000 Americans each year by opposing health care reform, lying about death panels and ensuring health care is only for America’s wealthy and Congress. Read more…

Battered Women’s Syndrome is a horrific crime of abuse enacted on American women and some men as perpetrators attempt to intimidate and control their victims with fear and hate.
Sadly this abuse can cycle in a repeating pattern passed down by parents to the next generation when children are exposed to adults who engage in these crimes.
In many cases these self-loathing perpetrators, tend to blame their own problems on anyone and everyone else without taking responsibility for their actions.
This is the same pattern of abuse heaped upon Americans today by the Republican Party and their Tea Party subsidiary and it lies at the heart of many of the diverse issues and challenges we face in this country. Read more…

A funny thing happened to United States history, well in Texas, much of U.S History is history. U.S. history is being re-written by a group of right-wing, religious zealots who wielded their power to brainwash and control the young minds of tomorrow’s leaders and tomorrow’s future as the Texas Board of Education voted 10-5 recently (10 Republicans, 5 Democrats) along party lines, to replace history textbooks with their right wing political propaganda.
This is part of a greater national Republican agenda of a decades-long plot by social conservatives to redefine major turning points and influential figures in American history, often to slam liberals, promote Republicans and reinforce their positions in today’s politics and to impose a far-right ideology on the nearly 5 million schoolchildren, half which are Hispanic, in Texas.

Republicans for years have been slowly taking away Americans’ right to privacy and civil liberties, as they spit on the U.S. Constitution by passing discriminatory laws and giving sweeping surveillance and the right to search any American, at any time, without court order, for all American citizens. The Patriot Act and FISA were just the beginning for Republicans to strip the rights of U.S. Citizens. Now Republicans are attempting to racial profile Americans and remove Americans’ right to U.S. Courts of Law and American’s citizenship.
From Republican George W Bush and Republican Dick Cheney’s Patriot Act and FISA, to Arizona’s punitive approach to immigration by Arizona’s Republican Governor Jan Brewer’s anti-immigration bill to would be Republican Joe Lieberman (who claims he is an Independent) and Republican Mass. Senator Scott Brown’s proposed bill to give the government more power by taking away U. S. Citizenship of Americans and to other Republicans who want to deny Miranda Rights to U.S. Citizens!

Everyone knows by now that ‘patriotism’ has been turned into a 4-letter word by the Republican Tea Party who uses this word in an attempt to cover their tracks to use inciteful rhetoric for violence against the United States. They have created a breeding ground for rage directed at the U.S. Government which are providing the majority of these people with financial stability, health care and domestic and foreign security. They use the same philosophy al Qaeda uses encouraging acts of violence with hate speech clearly designed for purposes which basically in threatens, intimidates and misleads their base.
Their plan is very simple, when they stir up rage, violence occurs and the Republican Tea Party then blames the Government, the President, the Democratic Congress, Liberals and Progressives.
They blame their personal misfortunes on anyone and everyone but especially their perceived sinister forces at the federal government. This is not altogether inaccurate in lieu of the economic recession, joblessness and the growing federal deficit. However, history is clear that the Republican Tea Party is the exact reason Americans find themselves in this situation. When an American family runs out of unemployment benefits or has a health care crisis and the result is absolute personal catastrophe in which there is simply no money left to buy food, pay rent, or meet electricity bills, thank a Republican!

An open letter to conservatives Written by Russell King, March 22, 2010
Dear Conservative Americans,
The years have not been kind to you. I grew up in a profoundly Republican home, so I can remember when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You’ve lost me and you’ve lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is important to democracy, I’d like to give you some advice and an invitation.
First, the invitation: Come back to us.
Now the advice. You’re going to have to come up with a platform that isn’t built on a foundation of cowardice: fear of people with colors, religions, cultures and sex lives that differ from your own; fear of reform in banking, health care, energy; fantasy fears of America being transformed into an Islamic nation, into social/commun/fasc-ism, into a disarmed populace put in internment camps; and more. But you have work to do even before you take on that task.
Your party — the GOP — and the conservative end of the American political spectrum has become irresponsible and irrational. Worse, it’s tolerating, promoting and celebrating prejudice and hatred. Let me provide some examples — by no means an exhaustive list — of where the Right as gotten itself stuck in a swamp of hypocrisy, hyperbole, historical inaccuracy and hatred. Read more…

As Americans we can walk down the street of any major American city from New York to Los Angles, from Washington D.C. to Houston, from Seattle to Chicago and see the result of the Statue of Liberty’s “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” and witness the immigrant population of this great nation.
African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, Anglos, Indians and Muslims; the healthy and the sick, the rich and the poor, straight and gay; a virtual rainbow of diversity and cultures, which makes America great, may be witnessed in the highways and byways of this nation. We carry within our bosom the new born babe, survivors of the Holocaust, people from foreign lands seeking a new life for their families; yet we are all mostly directly or indirectly immigrants from Europe, Asia, or Africa.

Democrats and community members from all across the great state of Texas held their Democratic County Conventions on March 20, 2010 as we gathered to talk politics, exchange ideas, prepare our respective resolutions and made plans in working together to take back Texas.
We gathered to affirm the greatness of our state, the pride in our cause and confirm our support for a talented group of people running for various honorable offices who will represent the best interest of hardworking, taxpaying Texas families.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” Read more…

College students across America have experience massive cost and tuition increases. In one state alone, Texas, the average cost of a college education has skyrocketed 136% from 2003 to 2008 under Gov. Rick Perry’s failed tuition deregulation scheme and it a story repeated all across this country. As students and many families cope with out-of-control costs, they also face huge student loan debt after graduation.
A major reason for the ever-growing debt load America’s students are taking on is the broken student lending system, a big part of which involves the government paying student loan companies to originate and service loans. The companies are the inefficient middle men that drive up costs for students without adding any value. According to a recent report from The Project on Student Debt, the average student in the class of 2008 graduated with $23,000 of debt, “ (some over $40,000) a figure 25 percent higher than what their older brothers and sisters owed when they graduated from college in 2004“.
