A price should be paid for hurting our children.

I'm hearing all the reports about toys contaminated with poisonous lead. The White House saying with billions of imports coming in it can't inspect everything. And toy makers are dodging and retailers are ignoring the issue - stocking shelves for the Christmas shopping season knowing their products can harm or even kill our children. The only way this madness will stop is for someone to be made accountable. Our government is dysfunctional.  Most of the products found dangerous and might even be categorized as lethal are made overseas. Primarily in Chinese sweatshops. Well, we're not going to change what happens in Communist China and time soon. The only realistic solution is to levy stiff fines on the toy manufacturers like Mattel and hold the CEOs criminally accountable. Then watch how fast the problem is fixed.

John Edwards stands for working people.



It's about time we had a candidate that has the guts to say he's fighting for working men and women.

Lies and Lying Liars

Last week Fox News flat out lied about a "recent" terrorist plot to set fires in the midwest. It turns out the story was false. Now if the people who saw that report only watch Fox News they probably still believe it to be true. I can't believe there hasn't been a FCC investigation. Oh wait --FCC??? That's our Government's Federal Conspiracy Commission. They're not going to do anything. Fox is the mouthpiece for the Bush terror organization and it's the FCC's job to keep it that way. Anyhow check this out about Bush's fear mongering and Fox News' lies.




The title of this Blog it partly taken from Al Franken's book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. I recommend it.

Here we go again.....

Fear and Patriotism - weapons of mass deception.
Well they're doing it again. Bush wants millions more for the war and he and Cheney pulled out their old weapons.
Fear -- perfectly choreographed with Bush's demand to congress for millions more for the war Cheney starts rattling sabers talking about war with Iran.
Patriotism - while Cheney gets everyone worked up about WWIII Bush plays the patriotism card. He says War is complicated but one thing isn't -- supporting the troops.
In other words Congress - if you don't give me the money you're not patriots.
What a couple of manipulating liars.

Do You Have Health Care?

Nearly 47 million Americans were without health insurance in 2005.
Nearly 70% of those are from working families. And the numbers are rapidly growing.

Yet every member of Congress enjoys free health care for life.


It should be the right of every citizen to have affordable, accessible, quality health care.

So why don't we have it? Because Bush and his conservative buddies are protecting the profits of the drug and insurance companies.

What can we do about it? In the next election don't vote for anyone who doesn't have plan, or doesn't support a plan for national health care for all.

Edwards for President

The United Steelworkers and the United Mine Workers of America officially endorsed Edwards at the rally of more than 1,000 union members.


Bush Vetos CHIPS

George (I refuse to call him president) Bush has vetoed the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). This act further proves his lack of caring for everyday working people and their families. One of his claims was this program is a step toward socialized medicine. And what's so bad aboot that eh?

Obviously the drug and insurance companies would suffer and of course Bush couldn't let that happen. They're some of his biggest campaign contributors. Instead, let more than 3.8 million of children without health care do the suffering for them. And with a stroke of his pen that's exactly what Bush did. I think it's disgusting......

Fear and Control

“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” - James Madison---

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND OTHER NAMED OFFICIALS OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE COMMITTED IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES OF UNPRECEDENTED DANGER TO THE CONSTITUTION AND PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Draft Articles of Impeachment of President George W. Bush and other named officials of the United States charge the most serious crimes known to law and history. Nothing in the experience of the impeachment power under the Constitution compares. The conduct charged threatens the Constitution, the United Nations, the rule of law and the lives of unknown thousands, or millions of people by their act and example.
The alleged impeachable acts of President George W. Bush include:
1. Ordering and directing "first strike" war of aggression against Afghanistan causing thousands of deaths;
2. Removing the government of Afghanistan by force and installing a government of his choice;
3. Authorizing daily intrusions into Iraqi airspace and aerial attacks including attacks on alleged defense installations in Iraq which have killed hundreds of people in time of peace;
4. Authorizing, ordering and condoning attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq on civilians, civilian facilities and locations where civilian casualties are unavoidable;
5. Threatening the use of nuclear weapons and ordering preparation for their use;
6. Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently proclaiming his personal intention to change its government by force;
7. Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, murder, kidnappings, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners;
8. Authorizing, ordering and condoning violations of rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eight Amendments to the Constitution and of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other international protections of human rights;
9. Authorizing, directing and condoning bribery and coercion of individuals and governments to obtain his war ends;
10. Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda and concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment to create a climate of fear and hatred and destroy opposition to his war goals.
President Bush is accused of Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity. No crimes are greater threats to the Constitution of the United States, the United Nation Charter, the rule of law or the future of humanity.

Stop Toxic Imports

We’ve been flooded with everything from toxic toys to lead-laced baby bibs, poisoned pet food and tainted tooth paste. It’s time to tell politicians and corporations that a cheaper price tag is not worth endangering our families’ health! If our government would do something to keep jobs in this country and allow unions to organize to help workers earn a family supportive wage we would have good jobs making enough money to pay for quality products made by U.S. workers. Seems logical right.

Why is it that logic often fails those who make our laws?

Oh yeah, I forgot. MONEY......
