ALL WE HEAR NOW IS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ELECTED A BLACK POLITICIAN AND NOW WE HAVE TO ELECT A WOMAN....HILLARY.  NEITHER ONE IS DEMOCRATIC AND THEY ARE BOTH NEO-LIBERALS.......RUN AND VOTE FOR LABOR AND JUSTICE NEXT ELECTIONS AT EVERY LEVEL.

Bill Clinton devised a plan to take the people's party to the right and hand American's to the corporations on a silver platter. He created the Third Way caucus with the goal of maximizing wealth and profits for the few with global markets knowing it would impoverish most, end democracy with corporate rule, and throw America into third world status......HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON......WHO WANTS THAT?



The Democratic Governors Association just like the Democratic National Party is now run by Third Way corporate democrats who are neo-liberals creating the problems we have now as they are wealth and profit. DO NOT ALLOW THE DNC CHOOSE YOUR CANDIDATES.....RUN AND VOTE FOR LABOR AND JUSTICE NEXT ELECTIONS!



The More Effective Evil: The Impact of Barack Obama's Presidency on the Black Community (Documentary) This important documentary features some of the progressive and fearless voices of African/Black people who have insisted on speaking out again...


The democratic base of labor and justice must be clear......WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THIRD WAY CORPORATE DEMOCRATS LIKE THE CLINTONS AND OBAMA.

RUN AND VOTE FOR LABOR AND JUSTICE....the idea that a political machine will drive anyone out of politics is autocratic.....and it is happening!!!!

Howard Dean: Obama Might Drive Me Out Of The Democratic Party

Written by  Evan McMorris-Santoro and Andrew Kaczynski | Buzzfeed
Toby Talbot / AP “What the hell are they thinking?” the former DNC chair asks about Obama's proposed budget. The Democrats' civil war?              

WASHINGTON — Howard Dean has had it with President Obama's budget proposal, saying the plan put forward by the White House might just drive him from the Democratic Party he once led as DNC chair.

On Sunday night, Dean tweeted that the restoration of some defense sequestration cuts contained in Obama's budget proposal were a step too far when coupled with the president's entitlement cut proposal that progressives like Dean are already livid about.

"If this is true I may have to become an independant [sic]," Dean wrote, before linking to an April 10 article by Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Josh Green.

Dean doubled down on his threat to leave the part in an interview with BuzzFeed Monday. The White House did not respond directly, but an official did push back Monday on the thrust of Dean's attacks.

"I just think that's unacceptable," Dean said. "If this passed I would have to reevaluate if I belong in the Democratic Party. If this were passed with Democratic votes, I think it would be impossible to be Democrat."

"I would have to oppose any Democrat that is supportive of this," Dean added.

In an email to several Democratic consultants Sunday night he forwarded to BuzzFeed, Dean excoriated the White House over the defense spending in Obama's budget proposal.

"If the businessweek.com article I sent you is correct, it means the Prez proposed chain CPI cutting SS benefits while asking to restore Pentagon spending. He would never get that through either chamber," Dean wrote. "What the hell are they thinking or is BW wrong?"

The progressive group Dean founded, Democracy for America, which is currently led by his brother, Jim Dean, backed up the former Vermont governor's take on the Obama's defense proposal.

Dean doubted such a proposal would even have the votes in Congress to pass.

"I don't think Democrats will vote for it. I can't see how you can expect Democrats in the Senate to support a budget that cuts entitlements and increases the Defense budget," Dean continued. "I can't imagine Republicans voting for this in swing districts."

Obama and many Democrats — including those who have run the Defense Department during Obama's administration — have argued that the $500 billion in across-the-board sequestration cuts to the Pentagon's budget over the next 10 years would be detrimental to national security. As the April 10 article states, Obama's budget restores $400 billion of those cuts, which a former Office of Management and Budget official told Green is "one of the peace offerings in Obama's package to Republicans." (The House Republican budget restores all $500 billion in Pentagon cuts.)

"Ultimately, the president needs to answer a simple question," Democracy for America spokesperson Neil Sroka told BuzzFeed. "Why are you choosing to sell out the Democratic legacy and cut seniors' and veterans' Social Security benefits to reinstate Pentagon pork and give millionaire defense industry executives back their seat at the government trough?"

The White House declined to respond to Dean directly. But an official noted that Obama has already called for cuts to the Pentagon budget and again defended Obama's proposed entitlement cuts against progressive critics. The official said the White House plan only cuts entitlements if Republicans agree to revenue increases (liberals have called for higher taxes) and specifically carves out exceptions to the cuts in Social Security benefits for the poor.

STRONG STANCE ON WOMEN'S ISSUES.......A MOUNTAIN BETTER THAN HILLARY AND THIRD WAY


Now that Third Way corporate pols through all of the democratic base under the bus by institutionalizing wealth inequity and assuring deep cuts to public services and social safety nets to pay the entire $14 trillion in national debt off, remember this:

Russ Feingold voted against breaking the Glass Steagall Wall in banking because the heated debate foretold the wealth inequity, corporate unaccountability, and loss of democracy we have today. He voted against the bank bailout's because he wanted the banks held accountable and brought down to size as they paid for their crimes....he was defeated because of that stance. He has shouted against corporate rule and all of the civil liberty violations that fill America's legislation these few years.

TELL RUSS FEINGOLD HE HAS 80% OF THE DEMOCRATIC BASE BEHIND HIM AS THE THIRD WAY RIGHT WING OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST GO!!!!!!!!!

Popular Resistance Is Percolating Across the Country -- Inspiring Activism

That the Corporate Media Always Ignores The fight against plutocracy, concentrated wealth and corporatism is decentralized, creative and growing. May 17, 2013  |     Every week we are inspired by the many people throughout the country who are doing excellent work to challenge the power structure and put forward a new path for the country. The popular resistance to plutocracy, concentrated wealth and corporatism is decentralized, creative and growing.

One growing series of protests has been the “Moral Monday” demonstrations in North Carolina.  They do not have ‘one demand’ but rather are challenging the systemic corruption, undermining of democracy and misdirection of a state government that puts human needs second to corporate profits – which they have dubbed ‘Robin Hood in Reverse.’  This week 49 of 200 protesters inside the capitol were arrested singing, chanting and echoing many of the same concerns that demonstrators have for the past three Mondays.  Last week there were 30 arrests, the week before 17.  Among those arrested was an 83 year old retired minister, Vernon Tyson, who was merely a spectator, but he gave a great interview cheering on the protests after his release. And, a group of historians were among those arrested who put these protests in the context of US history.

Another courageous protest involved seven undocumented immigrants who blocked the Broadview Detention Center where immigrants are being incarcerated.  They blocked the doors to the detention facility, linking arms together using pipes, chains, and locks. They were protesting the record-high deportations under President Obama, and the lack of leadership from Illinois representatives to call for a suspension of deportations. On the West coast, the always creative Backbone Campaign supported allied faith communities with a giant banner lift over the private for-profit immigration detention center asking “Who Would Jesus Deport?” and an inflatable lady liberty exposing the unjust policies that break up families.

There was a recent victory for Seattle teachers and students that resulted from their citywide protests against standardized testing. The school district announced that testing in the high schools would not occur next year.  The teachers said they will keep protesting until the tests are banned from lower grades as well.

We hope the Chicago teachers, who won a major battle with Mayor Rahm Emanuel earlier this year when they went out on strike, have great success this weekend when three days of marches are held against the mass school closings in Chicago.  The teachers union has developed a great organizing strategy that unites teachers with students, parents and communities.  This battle is one of many across the country to stop the thinly veiled corporatization of education.

In another education protest, the students @FreeCooperUnion continue to occupy the office of the president after one week.  They are painting the walls black until he agrees to step down, and are highlighting his $750,000 annual salary.  They are protesting a plan to begin to charge tuition at the university; this plan will not affect these students, but future students who attend Cooper Union.

The heart of the conflict faced in the United States is the inequity of an unfair economy supported by a corrupt two party system.  This week there was a very creative protest in New York City against the world’s richest man, Carlos Slim of Mexico.  He’s made his billions with the help of government allowing a monopoly on phone service resulting in Slim gouging the public.  Now he gives a small percentage of that wealth back in philanthropy and people applaud him.  But, the protesters were very effective, laughing out loud whenever he spoke. They responded when someone asked “Why is everyone laughing?” with “Because Slim’s philanthropy is a joke!” and followed with mocking kazoos.

In contrast to the world’s wealthiest was the Poor People’s Campaign which marched from Baltimore to Washington, DC ending at Freedom Plaza.  The march occurred on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s campaign and raised issues of poverty, police violence, unfair economy and non-responsive government.  Another march was announced in Pennsylvania from Philadelphia to Harrisburg from May 25 to June 3 to stop spending on prison construction and instead invest in building communities.  Also, from Philadelphia the ‘Operation Green Jobs’ March from Philadelphia to Washington, DC will begin on May 18 and is organized by the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign.

A campaign that is growing every week is the fast food worker strikes. The largest fast food walk out was held in Detroit last week, even the scabs walked out, and this week the strikes spread to their fifth city, Milwaukee, WI.  It is great to see these workers, who no doubt saw themselves as powerless, standing up and demanding fairness.  If you eat at fast food restaurants, this would be a good time to stop, and let them know why – you support the workers who are demanding a living wage.

US Empire and imperialism continue to cause protest. Obama’s Asia Pivot, moving 60% of the US Navy to the Asian Pacific is causing a lot of distress.  On Jeju Island people are fighting for their survival against a massive Navy base.  Jeju is the “Peace Island” that was harshly abused during the US occupation of South Korea after World War II before the Korean War.  And, South Koreans, who regularly protest against the US military, are protesting the US war games that are practicing dropping nuclear bombs on North Korea and invading it.

Protests are mounting in the United States against the abusive Guantanamo Bay prison where more than 100 of the 166 prisoners at Guantanamo are participating in a hunger strike and two-dozen are being brutally force fed. These prisoners have been held without trial for over 10 years, and even though 88 have been approved to leave, they remain.  The Green Shadow Cabinet came out with a statement describing how Obama could close the prison (and why Congress is not an excuse) and what you can do on the 100th day of the hunger strike this Friday. Show solidarity with these prisoners who are being abused by the US government.

Diane Wilson, a shrimper from the Gulf Coast who works with CODE PINK and Veterans for Peace, is on her 15th day of an open-ended solidarity hunger strike in Washington, DC. She explains why she is taking the extreme step of a hunger strike to support the Guantanamo prisoners. And S. Brian Willson is joining Diane in hunger strike.

Another protest related to US Empire occurred in Oak Ridge, TN where Transform Now Plowshares activists protested nuclear weapons by cutting through four chain-link fences and spray-painting biblical messages of nonviolence on a building that warehouses an estimated 400 tons of highly enriched uranium, the radioactive material used to fuel nuclear weaponry. This week an 83 year old nun, Sister Megan Rice, and two other activists were found guilty of damaging government property.  As the jury left the courtroom the people in the courtroom sang to them “Love, love, love, love. People, we are made for love.”  Sentencing is several months away and they face a potential 30 years in prison.

Environmental protests are boiling up throughout the United States.  When President Obama came to New York for a fundraiser (where he raised $3 million), protesters greeted him with signs calling for him to “End the War on Mother Earth” and opposing the KXL pipeline.

Protesters from the Appalachian Mountains came to the EPA in Washington DC to protest polluted water caused by Mountaintop removal for coal.  The protesters displayed the dirty, opaque water in jars in front of the EPA.  And Climate Justice activists from CoalIsStupid.org blocked a freighter delivering coal in Boston with two men on a lobster boat on May 15th.

But more and more Americans are realizing that while we protest the extraction of oil, gas, uranium and coal, the reality is that the root of the problem is in the American Way of Life (AWOL).  One activist from Portland made the point that the Tar Sands starts in our driveways and we need to change the AWOL in order to truly combat it.  We agree that our strategy has two prongs: protest and build i.e. Stop the Machine and Create a New World.

In addition to how much energy we each use, we need to look at where our food comes from. An Occupy group in Berkeley, Occupy the Farm, made that point this week when they took over University of California land to grow farm for the community locally.

Another area where we are seeing continued growth in the movement is in thinking through how we do our work and in developing strategy to achieve our goals.  We published a live streamer “Code of Ethics” developed by people who work in the citizen’s media. Note the high ethics and cooperative approach they take to getting the media out.

Many are thinking about strategy to make the movement more effective.  Gar Alperovitz, a political economist who has been writing about alternatives to big finance capitalism in the United States has a new book out focused on strategy, “What then Must We Do,” and we published a review of the book by Sam Pizzigati of Inequality.org entitled:  A Promising Path for Pummeling Plutocracy.

Upcoming actions:

May 17th, Support the Guantanamo hunger strikers on the 100th Day of their hunger strike with phone calls and tweets to the White House and protests in DC, NY, Chicago and other cities.

May 18th, ‘Operation Green Jobs’ March from Philadelphia to Washington, DC organized by the Poor People’s Economic and Human Rights Campaign.

May 18th to 23rd the Home Defenders League Week of Action against the banks and foreclosures in Washington, DC.

May 18th to 20th there is a weekend of protests against the closure of schools in Chicago.
