Lets get American's back to work
To hell with greedy corporations
And to hell with China



Bad economy, poor economy, worse economy since the Great Depression, all familiar phrases that everyone of us has heard for the last two years. Yet while both political sides continue to debate and place the blame on each other, we know that the republican agenda has placed the entire country in this horrible state of affairs. The Republican Party will do any thing to make sure the Obama administration fails, and are doing so at all costs to the country. A Republican threat of not funding health care and union breaking is a direct assault on the poor and middleclass of the country. Class warfare has been at the center point all along, the middleclass simply has gotten too educated and too strong and the rich needed to put the middleclass and poor back into their rightful place. But why would they care if the poor and middleclass do not have health care or good paying jobs as long as they do, most likely affordable to them through their huge tax cuts that the middle class and poor are paying for. Lets not forget if you have people worrying about health issues and a good income they will not have the time to worry about what the rich and what the corporations are doing, a fairly simple tactic to control the masses.

The continuation of allowing American manufacturing companies to leave the U.S. to build in third world countries, for the price of American workers jobs, creating poor economy in the states, all for huge profits for the anti- American companies who have Congressman and Senators in their pocket. WE need to go back to being a country that manufactures durable goods and stop being the country of fast food hamburger joints with dirty imported beef from toxic China and other dirty countries. Christ, we cant even manufacture color crayons any more, and then cry when our children get lead poisoning from imported crayons from China. We get sick from imported milk. What happened to our dairies? Wake up people. You are allowing this insanity to happen and continue. Demand from your elected officials for it to stop. Boycott this madness. We need to ban together and protest by the millions to get our collective voices heard, it takes every single one of us to make a difference, don't push the responsibility off on a few activists, we need to take individual responsibility to get the job done. If not for our sake, then for the sake of our children's future.

It is not bad enough that these companies take away American jobs " we" and when I say "we", I mean our Republican and Blue Dog Democrats when presented a way to hinder the departure of companies over seas, these corporate whores cast votes to stop the legislation to do so. I ask why do we keep voting these corporate shills back into office? Why do so many people believe the rhetoric these liars spew? Are we so preoccupied with reality TV and what Snookie from Jersey Shore is doing, that we must allow our country and its liberties to fall along the way side?

If President Obama was smart he would ask congress to pass funding for the refitting of our infrastructure in huge work efforts, like the efforts which were done during the Great Depression by President Roosevelt, who had America and her workers at heart. It has been proven that our dams and bridges all across this great land are in terrible need of repair or rebuilt, these massive projects would create enormous amounts of good high wage jobs from the bottom to the top branching out to stimulate all other business in some way, our economy would spring back to life. There would be money flowing into all of our pockets and into the government coffers as well. Let the republicans argue against this idea and stop it, cause we know they would, and then maybe, just maybe, all Americans will finally get the drift, what the Republicans and their ideals are really about.

It is time we, the people take back our country from the greedy corporations and their political henchmen and political whores. Get informed on issues, speak out, and always vote. If there is enough outcry from the masses there will be change, it may not be easy but keeping freedom and democracy has never been easy.
