Wake Up America

For all of you who were in a cave yesterday, Justice Scalia threw down the gauntlet against the major pillar of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Justice Scalia stated that the Congress didn't really want to renew the VRA in 2006 even though the Senate voted unanimously and the house was almost the same. Justice Scalia has decided that the Congress was bullied into keeping this most important legislation and that Congress can not be trusted. Justice Scalia with his statement has shown the country that he is either living in a bubble or has not been paying attention to the attempts to suppress the minority vote in not only the states and jurisdictions that are covered by Section 5 of the VRA, but also in new areas of the country that are now swing states in Federal elections.

Blame Game President Obama is in Newport News today and the Republicans are going nuts.  He is winning the Blame Game because is an expert in the use of the bully pulpit. It looks like we are going to go over the cliff into the Sequester and many of us are going to get cut up on the way down. Those of you in Red States who have not been paying attention to what your Congressional Representation have been doing need to Wake Up.  You need to reach out and slap these fools upside the back of the head and let them know you need your government to function properly and that obstruction is not function.

Time is running out.

America is hurtling towards catastrophic budget cuts in a little more than a week. John Boehner and the GOP are thumping their chests yet again.  It is so tiring to hear republicans drone on again about tax cuts. We had a an election and we the people decided that we didn't want what the Republicans are selling. It is time for we the people to contact our congress people and let them know to knock it off. We had a choice to continue to cut taxes for the rich, voucherize Medicare and repeal Obamacare and we said not just No but Hell No. It is time for the GOP to hear us and realize the 2012 election had major consequences. Do the will of the people. Raise the dam Capital Gains taxes and stop giving Corporate Welfare to big oil companies and close the offshore account loopholes. We are tired of the games Congress. Do what we the people told you to do. Stop protecting the Rich and protect the middle class.
