The Power of the People is Undeniable Growing Force against Corruption

"Prune the top 1% and feed the roots"


With sobering current conditions as they are and have been for several years (high unemployment, wars, political scams, corporate greed, etc.) it's not surprising that individuals and groups are coming together to discuss and take action with regard to justice, fairness and equality for all, especially for those who make up the majority of voters - 99%. 

The public's perception of 'the powers that be' have fallen to low levels of mistrust in government and corporate hustler's - especially, resulting in grass root campaigns designed to rid government's of corruption and human exploitation. One such community group is the Freedom Informant Network.  


The old ways of the past are dying a slow and spiteful death. A new world must be one based freedom's promise for all natural born human beings:  equality, fairness, justice, mutual respect, and integrity.  

"The 'people' are less concerned with traditional politics as usual, and have been for a long time - frankly." 

The old ways of favoritism, intimidation, corruption, crony capitalism, human exploitation, genocide, misinforming, and back room deals have only proven to empower an 'associated' few, while the many which the 'few' feed upon live the freedom's of their desires. Nothing less than good can endure in a just universe. 

Nobody is or wants to 'player-hate' on rich folk, but when they get to play the game by rules which benefit them at the expense of the majority of society, that's an immoral 'hustle & flow' that's bad for business...and in the long term, even for the 1%.

VP, Joe Biden talks [political] issues in exclusive interview on MSNBC's - 'The Ed Show'

In an exclusive interview on MSNBC's - The Ed Show, hosted by Ed Schultz, Vice President - Joe Biden
responds to questions and topics ranging from "class warfare" to the Bush tax cuts. "The Bush tax cuts don't work", Biden said. He also slams Mitt Romney's economic policy and the GOP's record in support of women voters. Biden challenges the opposition and general voting public to simply check the record of both political parties with regard to which group, republicans or democrats, has a credible history when it comes to women's rights. 

And as can be expected, 'Big J.B.' pulls no punches when given the opportunity to remind voters who "caused this mess" (referring to Mitt Romney's argument that 92% of job loss are among women). In simple cool-and-calm fashion, Joe Biden, in so many words, drew a picture of hypocritical elephants, frankly.

"The republicans WAR on women is real and will intensify..." - VP, Joe Biden

Conor Friedersdorf, staff writer for The Atlantic writes open letter to Sarah Palin



Sarah Palin - a 'ride or die' for you type of chick, as long as the money keeps rollin' her way!

In an open letter to the 'queen of political hustle', Conor Freidersdorf of The Atlantic, puts Sarah Palin on blast for how she's using campaign funds, from supporters with limited means, for personal and very questionable spending trends. Conor's letter to Alaskas's former governor, who quit the job in search of an ever fertile political playground laced with more campaign dollars to tempt small town Christian values, reads as follows (videos included in Freidersdorf's entire, original post at The Atlantic have been excluded):

Ms. Palin,

Your supporters trust you. For all their cynicism about politics, they believe that you're different: a faithful Christian with small town values and a commitment to doing right by regular Americans. You've used that trust to ask homemakers, retirees and small businessmen and women to send you their money. As the Web page of your official political action committee puts it, SarahPAC is "dedicated to building America's future by supporting fresh ideas and candidates."

But that isn't how you've been spending the money.

Sure, you've given to candidates in the past. But you spent $418,000 in the first 3 months on 2012, and none of it has gone to candidates! Nor has it gone to "fresh ideas." In fact, as Kenneth Vogel points out, it appears that you spent $19,000 on a video that argues an HBO film about your role in the 2008 presidential campaign gets its facts wrong. Is that correct? It's 2 minutes and 38 seconds long:...


Do you think that is worth $19,000? Or $1,000? Given that you have a popular Facebook page, regular gigs on national television, and the ability to summon multiple reporters to a press conference at any time, why would you spend $19,000 saying to very few people what you could've said free? Even if the short video is worth thousands to you, why do you think it's appropriate to spend money raised on the promise that you'll support fresh ideas and candidates on contesting events that a) happened in 2008; b) have no bearing on this year's political races or issues; c) mostly just affects your reputation; d) is unlikely to change anyone's opinion of it?

Why should your donors bankroll this?

You've also spent $255,000 "on fundraising and a small team of political consultants." And perhaps there's a reasonable explanation for the $1,000 you spent at the Disneyland Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

What is it?

As I recall, this isn't the first time you've produced a high budget video to reflect well on yourself for no apparent reason...



For the sake of your supporters, please do not reply by video.

Sincerely,

Conor Friedersdorf


No need to read between the lines in this address to Palin, Conor obviously pulls no punches and appears to back up his accusations. But the ever charismatic with a wink - Sarah Palin, when confronted with issues concerning and questioning her character flaws and overt brand of hustle, will surely take offense and figure out a new way to work the sheep.
