Comments about the KKK are not OK

February 24, 2012
In a speech at Lindwood University, Rex Sinquefield suggested that public schools are a conspiracy of the Ku Klux Klan. Rex Sinquefield wields significant influence in the Missouri state legislature and we need your help to let legislators know that his comments about the KKK are not OK.

As the deadline nears for health insurance companies to return nearly $1.4 billion to us for wasting our money, the lobbyists have moved in to stop it.

Consumers Union, Policy & Action from Consumer Reports

 

As the deadline nears for health insurance companies to return nearly $1.4 billion to us for wasting our money, the lobbyists have moved in to stop it. 

Two bills have surfaced in Congress to undermine our rebates, putting most of the money we deserve right back into insurance company pockets! I just took action at Consumers Union’s website to fight the lobbyists, and hope you will join me.

One of the most pro-consumer rules in the national health reform law is aimed squarely at how insurance companies spend our money. If an insurance company spends more than 20 percent of our premium dollars on their paperwork, marketing and CEO salaries, we get a rebate, or lower rates.

The deadline for the first round of rebate checks is August 1. And it’s estimated insurers owe 9 million Americans nearly $1.4 billion! But these bills in Congress would undermine that. Please add your voice now to help us fight these bills. Thank you!

Who Caused the Mess?

February 19, 2012
Hey,

I just signed up to watch a great show on Tuesday. It’s a livestream discussion about the REAL story of who broke the economy for the 99% and what we can do to fix it. It will be nationally televised and streamed online live, as a special broadcast of “The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann”. It’s Tuesday Feb 21, at 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific time. I thought you’d be interested! Here’s the link to sign up to watch:
http://act.rebuildthedream.com/sign/teach-in-livestream/?autosubmit=true&refe…

A remarkable panel of thinkers and leaders will share the real story about our economic crisis: – How corporations broke the law in their reckless pursuit of greed
- What policies made it legal for banks to gamble with the stability of the global economy
- Why so many millions were thrown out of their homes, or left to drown in underwater mortgages
- Why our government won’t act to create jobs, even though the economists who saw the crisis coming know exactly what we need to do

Thanks!

Look what the scumbag @RoyBlunt sent to me: Happy Anniversary!

What do you want to ask me? – President Barack Obama

Subject: What do you want to ask me?

The White House, Washington
 

 

Good afternoon,

Today, I was in Michigan. Yesterday, it was Colorado and Nevada. Before that, it was Iowa and Arizona. The day after I delivered my State of the Union Address to Congress, I took off to connect with ordinary Americans around the country, talk more about our Blueprint for an America Built to Last, and get some feedback.

That’s why I’m writing you.

On Monday we’re going to do something a little different. At 5:30 p.m. ET, I’ll walk into the Roosevelt Room across the hall from the Oval Office, take a seat, and kick-off the first-ever completely virtual town hall from the White House.

All week, people have been voting on questions and submitting their own, and a few of them will join me for a live chat.

What do you want to ask me?

This is going to be an exciting way to talk about the steps that we need to take together at this make-or-break moment for the middle class.

We have to foster a new era for American manufacturing — rewarding companies for keeping jobs here at home and eliminating tax breaks for those who ship jobs overseas. We have to invest in homegrown energy in the United States — starting with an all-out, all-of-the-above energy strategy that’s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs. We have to build an economy that works for everyone — where every hard working American gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and the rules are the same from top to bottom.

I’m ready to get started, but I know you have questions and ideas for ways to help. So let’s hear them:

Thanks,

President Barack Obama

Coming soon to a tire store near you

January 22, 2012


Yes, those are ‘spoke’ like connections to the inner part of the tire from the outside tread ‘wrap!’ The next picture shows how odd it looks in motion…
Att00026

Makes you wonder how the ride feels doesn’t it?

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.
The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these.
Just think of the impact on existing technology:
A. no more air valves…
B. no more air compressors at gas stations…
C. no more repair kits…
D. no more flats…
These are actual pictures taken at the South Carolina plant of Michelin.
