Wake Up People!

The "Tea Party" movement is a threat to any people of color, low-income and who believes in equal rights. Their reaction to the misinformation of Republican zealots who release lies and falsehoods about any programs to help the poor, disenfranchised and less fortunate. I have remained silent and just watched the madness surrounding the healthcare reform efforts and anything the present administration attempts to implement to get us out of the mess we are in. While I have questions about some things, overall I think many of the ideas are good. The opponents of the bills are usually in the pockets of the medical and pharmaceutical lobby. That includes both Republicans and Democrats. The latest Supreme Court blunder is the ruling that corporations can donate any amount of money to any candidate during a political campaign. If you think that money will not influence the candidate's actions once he/she is elected, you must be smoking crack or just plain stupid.

Healthcare Reform will not happen because the money is invested in the direct opposite! The economy will remain in the toilet, because the jobs that would normally be created are all overseas! Big corporations have moved their factories overseas where they can pay workers four dollars a day and reap big profits while whole cities have died as a result of their decisions.

I always believed the oil companies should have bailed out the auto industry, because the auto industries kept producing the gas-guzzlers that made profits for the oil industry so astronomical. The American taxpayer continues getting screwed without any grease. The President cannot do it by himself. He has to have the backing of Congress and the people. Congress is off kilter and the people are misled on all fronts by the media and knuckleheads like Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.

We make rock stars of dingbats and villans out of those who would help. Race is a part of the equation. I have seen the President subjected to all sorts of disrespect that no other President had to endure. If a member of Congress would have called Bush or Reagan a liar during a speech, he would have disappeared or been thoroughly ruined. The one thing the former "powers that be" want more than anything else is for Obama to fail! If he does not accomplish anything during his tenure the race card is back in play and we will not see another president of color anytime soon. This reminds me of Jimmy Carter's term, he had to try and clean up all of the damage done by Nixon and Ford in four years! Not gonna happen.

What is real scary is that we gave Bush eight years to wreck everything, but we will only give President Obama four years to straighten it out. The whole thing sucks and we, the real little people are going to suffer again!

The solution? Stop giving tax breaks to companies who send our jobs overseas. Stop allowing corporate contributions to politcal campaigns to go unregulated. Find some way to dispell the lies and misinformation consistently disseminated by the media and make somebody tell the truth.

I DARE YOU!
