“Will the new House Democrats 
take on the war lobby?”
This question is the headline of a Common Dreams op-ed by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies earlier this week, and it touches the furious heart of who we are. I would put it this way: As long as 60 percent or so of our discretionary spending is diverted to militarism; as long as there is no official acknowledgment of the horrific and pointless hell our wars have created, with no benefits even to our “national interests”; as long as we refuse to face our own history of genocidal behavior and our addiction to “conquest” . . . we will not change, we will not grow, we will not survive.

Elizabeth Warren Has Proposed TWO New Laws. The Anti Corruption Act and The Capitalism Accountability Act.

Elizabeth Warren has a plan to save capitalism...

She’s unveiling a bill to make corporations great again

Elizabeth Warren proposes TWO new Laws

How would the Anti-Corruption Act Work? How can we keep Corporations from Buying Politicians? How can WE THE PEOPLE get Representation in Government?

What we have now is the Rich buying laws that benefit themselves at the expense of the majority of Americans. Witness the Tax Cut Law that Trump and his Republican Congress passed. It Benefits the Same people that Donated Millions of Dollars to Campaigns.

Warren is attempting to take the profit motive out of public service by making it extremely difficult for former lawmakers and government officials to cash in on their government experience. 

Warren proposes much stricter restrictions on the revolving door between public service and lobbying, but, more fundamentally, flat-out bans on any lobbying on behalf of foreign governments, an industry that has come under increased scrutiny as a result of the trial of Paul Manafort, who made his fortune carrying water for foreign governments in Washington, often whose interests ran against those of the U.S.

Her bill would also mandate that the IRS release tax returns for candidates, and that the president and vice president be subject to conflict-of-interest laws.


Sen. Elizabeth Warren's plan to End Washington Corruption. A Ban on Politicians owning stock in order to avoid conflicts of interest... becoming Lobbyists after they serve... and more!

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/21/17760916/elizabeth-warren-anti-corruption-act-bill-lobbying-ban-president-trump

Warren’s Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act is a plan to ensure a Trump administration never happens again.  


Sen. Elizabeth Warren envisions a United States government in which presidential and vice presidential candidates must — by law — disclose eight years’ worth of income tax returns. 

Her proposed fix envisions a Washington where the president, vice president, Cabinet members, and congressional lawmakers have a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists, and other federal workers have restrictions — albeit less severe — on entering lobbying firms. The act would also bar federal judges from owning individual stocks or accepting gifts or payments that could potentially influence the outcome of their rulings.

And in Warren’s plan would be overseen by a new US Office of Public Integrity, which would go after violators and usher in a new era of ethics law enforcement.




EPA Chief Scott Pruitt Resigns in Disgrace. Policies of Enabling Polluters likely to continue. New Head of agency, Andrew Wheeler, is a COAL Lobbyist.

Andrew Wheeler, the new leader at the EPA, is a former coal lobbyist, Climate Change Denier. 


"Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss" - Lyrics from The Who Song "Won't Get Fooled Again" 

Coal is the Main Cause of Global Warming
The new EPA chief is just as bad as Scott Pruitt as far as POLICY goes... Let corporations Pollute at will and let them save the money spent on keeping the ENVIRONMENT Clean. Remove Regulations on Water Pollution, Air Pollution allowing PROFITS TO INCREASE at the expense of PEOPLE'S HEALTH. Increase Fracking, Offshore Oil Wells on BOTH COASTS and allow Mining on public lands... 
A Total Disaster for People and Animals... a great increase of Corporate Profits. This is Trump's Bizarro World.

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.

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.

Use this link to find your Senator's Email Contact form. https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

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!
