Vote Democratic: We are in favor of Good and Opposed to Evil... Republicans are Bribed with Campaign Contributions to Do what The Super Rich Want.

Why don't we TRY Majority Rule? Most people prefer it.

HOWEVER... the Super Rich pay Politicians to Do What Is Best For Them... Not US.

By purchasing vast quantities of Television Advertisements they BRAINWASH people into believing what they say...

Did you ever notice that Trump's BLAMING IMMIGRANTS FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS is very similar to HITLER'S BLAMING JEWS FOR ALL GERMANY'S PROBLEMS...

In REALITY, Neither Jews NOR Immigrants are to blame... BUT... If they repeat the lies again and again and again... people have a tendency to BELIEVE THE LIES...

Time has come to actually DO SOMETHING about Global Warming.

Act Out! is the alternative to depressing hopeless newscasts that only tell you the ills of this world without telling you the good. The really good - not the celebrity ..

I don’t wanna leave on a low note – and I don’t wanna pretend that you can give hope a vote

coz it’s deeper than that.

So as you head out or stay in to celebrate or not celebrate this day –

whether you, like me, think we’d be better off without this capitalized shrink wrapped “land of the free” –

consider this.

This is not a happy birthday –

no THIS day is a hollowed pride in a longstanding genocide

This nationalist high – made to conquer, divide –

glittering smoke screens that just barely hide –

the fact – that:

America is not great.

And it never was.

for all, wasn’t meant to be – for all –

but for some.

So why should you, why should I,

put our hands over hearts –

and pledge allegiance to the legions still breaking the broken, old wounds aren’t closing –

why saddle your soul with the empire’s ode?

We’re owed –

more.

And we owe –

more.

We owe more to the early graves –

that were dug by our capitalist crusades –

we owe more to the fighters and builders –

who’ve been whitewashed from history –

we owe more to the kids coming up –

growing in smoke-filled air and poisoned soil –

we owe our toil –

to more than a flimsy facade – of freedom.

And we likewise – are owed more –

than a nation named, a constitution framed –

without us.

Yes, the idea of America is not great either.

And wait, just please pause

coz pontificating platitudes just feed agro attitudes –

the theorizing keeps us from realizing –

that we –

can do better –

than a crusty old constitution,

a resolution of, for and by – white, land owning men –

6 percent -of the population back then –

and still today, it remains –

a pedestaled holy grail –

that we fail to see past

to the future of what we could be –

beyond the American dream.

Coz inside these walls of an empire dying, we can keep rising –

we can aim higher than just getting by and

we can steal hope –

from a hangman’s white rope –

we can build dignity in the halls of a capitalist divinity, we –

can move past –

the blame game and masturbatory shame –

The nihilistic, masochistic fuck it all –

no, FEEL with me.

Wrap your shame in red, white and blue –

set it on fire so the feel-good warm pyre –

can bring us together to fight –

and to build.

Let’s make a sparkler out of our guilt

and burn it like rites of passage –

yes let’s now move past this –

we children of the empire are marked by our past

and the last thing we need –

is a solemn silence for all of those deeds…

a flag waving passive,

devoid of the passion –

of fighting – for liberation….

Liberates oneself.

Yeah, I WANT to be free –

and my will to freedom is tied right to yours –

bleeds over borders,

cue the requiem chorus –

for the empire’s creed.

It’s the only independence you should raise a glass to –

smashing the system in your mind,

and be free.

Free to be –

unAmerican.

A child of empire

that won’t sit on the sidelines but stands on the front lines –

with hope – and dignity.

A human humility –

a resolute – if not shaky – stability.

The solidarity –

beyond a fake unity.

Not for america –

but for people

and planet.

Happy independence day.

I believe that emailing Senators and Congress is a way to inform them that we have had enough of Trump. Make sure you use a valid zip code when filling out the forms online so you will appear to be a US Voter. For Example: 95501 is good to use when Emailing California's Senators. You may live in Europe or Australia but they will believe you are a USA voter. Use Google maps to research valid street addresses. https://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ Use this link to find out how to email the House of Representatives... They are the body that calls for IMPEACHMENT. https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/ Use this link to email Senators...

Trump fails to implement Russian Sanctions. They were supposed to be done by October 1st.

It seems as if The Bill that was overwhelmingly passed by congress and then signed by Trump to impose sanctions on Russia for interfering with the US Elections is being ignored. The LAW says we are to impose sanctions, but Trump is simply ignoring the LAW.

Rep. Al Green introduced Impeachment in the House of Representatives but then withdrew the motion. He says it was a way to get the voters to demand Impeachment. A groundswell from below. OR... maybe someone "got" to him and he crumbled due to pressure...

Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome CAN BE CURED.

While the historical solutions of the USA in 1776 and France in 1789 appear appealing on first glance, they would simply not work in a global economy of 2017. A 12 step program might be more efficient. Greed Freaks Anonymous can help the most absurdly addicted capitalists.

Today is a great time to Protest Trumpcare and Occupy your Senator's Offices.

The Senate is planning to vote on a number of bills this week. We the People need to rise up like a tidal wave of outrage against the evil... If you CAN occupy their offices, please do so... If you CANNOT go in person, send them an email... Here is the link to find your Senator... https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

It will take a seemingly Infinite Action to defeat Trumpcare.

I'm not that concerned about Global Warming or Climate Change because I believe it is SIMPLY TOO LATE to take any effective action.

However, I might be wrong... Let's do what we can to fix our system. One big cause is the automobile. There has to be a better way to get around than the internal combustion engine. Otherwise... We are going to experience higher temperatures leading to more wildfires and more hurricanes if we don't take some kind of action now. I predict that Billions of people will die but... we will still have billions that survive... It's going to be interesting to see what happens... I predict that the Earth near the equator will become uninhabitable.

Canada will have build a wall on the border with the USA to keep crazy southerners out.

I guess that your children and grandchildren will live in a hostile world unless they figure out a solution. I do not believe that the baby boom generation will solve this... It's time for Generation X to take action...

Now is the time to tell your Senators that you want to FIX Obamacare or start Single Payer Medicare for all. Ask them to vote NO on Trumpcare.

If you can't go to their office in person, write 'em a letter, email 'em or use social media to contact them... We have to take action or they will continue to do what the 1% pays them to do. Remember, Senators are elected to office and so a vast wave of rage will make them question the wisdom of obeying their corporate masters.

Senator Elizabeth Warren states that Trump has hired 193 Corporate CEOs and lobbyists to run the government. They represent the wishes of the 1% and fail to represent what we the people want.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jul/20/elizabeth-warren-gives-donald-trump-an-f-for-drain/

Note that Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon is Secretary of State... The Russians have vast oil deposits in Siberia and Exxon would like to drill there but... Obama imposed sanctions on doing business with Russia... That's why there is so much collusion between Trump and Putin. They want to drill for oil in Siberia... More profit for Exxon and Putin at the expense of America.

Occupy the Senate... We the People refuse to support Trumpcare, a tax bill pretending to be a healthcare bill. Written by 13 old white men and their lobbyists in secret, it represents the wishes of Corporate Greed Freaks at the expense of American People.

Be aware that CNN, MSNBC and FOX do not tell the complete story. They report news that attracts viewers so they can sell advertisements. It's a form of corporate brainwashing with the goal of selling you a car or a drug... Alternatives exist. Free Speech TV, Link TV and PBS.
https://www.democracynow.org/

Did you ever notice the advertisements for https://powerpastimpossible.org/ a lobbyist group for the oil and gas industry? They feel it's worth their money to buy TV advertisements singing the praises of Fossil Fuel... Why? Why would they want to influence public opinion? Because they want you to simply accept their destruction of the environment in order to increase corporate profits. That's why. The AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE sponsors many bizarre advertisements with outrageously false claims. It's difficult to sell Fracking to the American people because of the obvious danger to people's health. Poisoning our drinking water... but That's the goal... brainwashing with pretty images and stirring music... "Oil Pumps Life? That's absurd!

Professor Richard Wolff questions IF Capitalism is a good way to run a world. NO. Too crisis prone... Economic meltdowns are built into the system.

Why are we told a broken system that creates vast inequality is the only choice? Spain's amazing co-op is living proof otherwise

Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism -- by Richard Wolff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhzBq15p_f0

Most Americans have never recovered from the recession of 2008 and the outsourcing, mechanizing, robotizing and computerizing of their jobs. Men’s salaries and working conditions have been deteriorating since the mid 1970s. Women’s salaries have increased to 77% of men’s low salaries. Americans are emotionally depressed. We consume 50% of the world’s psych meds and 80% of the world’s heroin. Suicides addiction obesity and other social ills have increased. Too many are in despair. This panel explains what happened, why it happened and what to do about it.

Eureka Peace March. Let's END the Iraq War before it Starts. Well, Bush started it anyway and now Iraq is a total disaster...

End the War in Iraq before we start that again... and again... and again... Endless War... For Profit.

Drums 4 Peace

Eureka Peace March

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laguna Beach Peace March

One year I couldn't go to the Eureka Peace March because I went to a Wedding... But when I arrived in Laguna Beach, there was the Peace March and I got to protest with my SoCal friends... It was like the Peace March Followed ME.

Every Year since 2003 we have participated in Anti-War Protests about Iraq.

Eventually President Obama ended that war.

We were successful... for a while...

Now they are beating the drums for another IRAQ War.

Clearly the country cannot afford to continue making the same mistakes...

LET'S STOP THE IRAQ WAR BEFORE IT STARTS.
