Class Warfare

President Obama is trying to push a much needed jobs bill and the obstructionist Republicans are trying to stop it calling it "class warfare." Now of course even a five year old knows the concept of fairness and it would go to say that the poor majority should not be paying the majority of the taxes,especially not more than the millionaires and billionaires. The problem is that this has been going on forever! its always been about the wealthy. These laws are designed so that they can keep their wealth. Now the the scam has been exposed and they want to scream class warfare. Lets not continue to fall for the scams and the shenanigans. The lower class has always suffered and needed jobs but now that it is affecting the middle class it is a problem? This is the same thing that happened with the drug epidemic.  It was not a problem unit it affected the middle class. Well with this problem everyone is affected but there is a cure......Jobs! Jobs can be created but they have been outsourced. Lets hold these companies accountable. Lets fix these broken bridges and highways. We can improve on our mass transit and rail system nationwide. This would create jobs with the construction as well as maintaining and operating these new and improved mass transit systems. Stop with the lies Republicans. Lets not fall for the obstructionist Republican Rhetoric.  Lets get behind this bill and push our local congress and senate to do whats is right and fair.

The Death Penalty.......Fair Justice?

The Troy Davis case has sparked wide world debate over the fairness of the death penalty in America. We have clearly seen that it is flawed with human error. We are suppose to be a model of humanity for the world but yet in 2011 we are still committed barbaric acts in the name or guise of justice. This has to be addressed or it will continue to happen. Thanks to groups such as the Innocence Project, Amnesty International, and Al Sharpton's National Action Network this case and other alike have come to light. But what does this mean to the average citizen in the state of Georgia and Texas who could easily face a similar fate? This has to be a wake up call for action against the unfair life and death call of the justice system. No man shall possess that much power especially when it has been proven that they have been in error. We have to press for change through the legislative process. The aforementioned groups will be pushing for this to be on a bill that is pushed through congress. Lets follow and support this cause.
