This Is How To Beat The Republicans And Tea Party!

Many of you are not aware of how the tea party infiltrated and effectively took over the Republican Party in one short year…less even.  We were all caught with our pants down when November 2010 saw the election of so many within the tea party.  And yet, how they managed the feat was actually quite simple.


There is a video that explains it in detail, a video that the tea party put out just 10 months before the Nov 2010 elections.  ”The Concord Project” is a strategic plan that has been not only surprisingly simple to implement, but incredibly effective.  How does it work? By remembering one simple fact: local Precinct officials select the candidates that eventually end up on the ballots.  That’s it.  The tea party simply got themselves into the local precincts, became precinct committeemen…and caused the upset by nominating other tea party members for the ballot.  The result: Tea party members won by a landslide in Nov 2010!
This is simply what we have to do to change the face of the Democratic Party. We need a new breed of politicians in Congress.  And in greater numbers!!


 It makes no sense to try to push against the Establishment, or run a third party candidate against the Democratic party.  The infrastructure is already there in the Democratic Party.  All we have to do is become local precinct committee members and officials by simply showing up at the meetings and participating.  Sometimes no one shows up so you may have no one to compete against. Many of the positions are currently actually held by Republicans!! Lets take them back now!!


In many states, getting elected to a precinct committee position requires as few as 10 signatures.  Think about it.  Knowing five couples can get you elected to the position.  Check your local precinct for specific requirements as some precincts may require more signatures or vary in procedures a bit.


Let’s work on getting that better batch of politicians.  Progressives, not Blue Dogs!!  Ones who truly want to take care of the people and not the corporations.  We simply have to show up at the meetings and take part…that is so easy. Let us take a page out of the tea party playbook…it worked for them in 10 months, it will work for us too.  Finally, check out this video by Thom Hartmann which also explains it quite well.

Rick Perry Hates America !!

Yes! Rick Perry has proven he hates America...by his suggestion that he could consider the option to secede in the future... 
But the real proof that he hates America is in the pudding, in his actions and his past record. The sad state of affairs he has his beloved Texas...is shameful and indeed telling.


Perry's reign of terror includes the fact that he has created more low paying jobs than any other state and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Last year, 550,000 Texans were paid the minimum wage or less, up from 173,000 in 2006.  the state's per capita income is lower than the national number and the poverty rate is higher. Texas under 'Scary' Perry overall has been the eighth poorest state in the union.  Nearly 10 percent of Texans are working at or below minimum wage, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report — a rate that tied with Mississippi for the nation’s worst.

One in four Texans also have no health insurance...this is the highest rate in the country. 

During 'Scary' Perry's tenure, Texas has led all states in mercury, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and benzene air pollution as well as been a runner up in sulfur dioxide emissions.

Texas has allotted less money per capita than any other state in the maintenance of  its drinking water supplies. There has been no real improvement in water quality as a result.  Texas is 47th in the discharge of toxic chemicals into waterways and third worst in water quality. 

Only Mississippi exceeds Texas in the percentage of citizens over 25, who lack a high school diploma, and the Lone Star State is 47th out of 50 in English literacy levels.

This is just scraping the surface with this guy so obviously more info is yet to come...including the data on where in Texas, Perry has decided to bury Nuclear Waste...a deal that has already been signed and sealed. This guy is the worst possible person to be America's President and even Dubya is referred to as 'Rick Perry light'

Oh NO!!! Blue Dog Max Baucus in Super Congress!!

I am so pessimistic about this decision by Harry Reed to appoint Blue Dog Max Baucus to the Super Congress. I know, I know, technically Blue Dogs are traditionally House members, but tell that to the American People who have been stabbed in the back by his atrocious voting in the past.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Baucus


"he has voted against the corporate average fuel economy standards (CAFE) and on increasing federal funds for solar and wind power."
"In 1999, he was the only Democrat to vote against an amendment by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) that sought to "regulate the sale of firearms at gun shows."
"He opposes gay marriage"
Baucus' campaign materials claim that he is a moderate democratic member of the Senate, occasionally breaking with his party on the issues of taxes, the environment and gun control. 




This is one guy you want to keep your eyes on... I would not like his vote to be the deciding vote of the Super Congress needed to make the vote a tie... 
Why a tie you ask? Well if there is a tie then the President has an Ace up his sleeve. The panel's primary goal will be to find an additional $1.5 trillion in budget savings by November 23. Its recommendations must be approved by Congress by December 23. If either of those deadlines arrives unmet, automatic spending cuts in place are triggered in 2013, ultimately making the Bush Tax Cuts expire and saving Billions in needed revenues, through the expected collecting of said futureTaxes.
