This is horrific! I started out focusing on Senator Mitch McConnel, but then suddenly I find this site called Crews Most Corrupt. Holy Hell! Let's make the best of this.

Prep for #D19 #BillionPeopleMarch

The news media will once again claim that protests and marches will not be organized because there will be so many different issues presented. They think in a frame of mind where you can only deal with one issue at a time, but issues are only symptoms, poison flecks thrown into the media that divide the people.

Here is a list of issues that may be part of the movement.

http://fredslocombe.blogspot.com/p/issues_12.html

 I'm sure there will be others. The solution will be to go after the cause instead of the symptoms.

Speaker Paul Ryan? Here’s what you need to know about his biggest influence — the lunatic Ayn Rand

There is a unifying label for the agenda of the GOP, but it's a toss-up between Pure Natural Selection and Passive Eugenics. They both kind of mean the same thing. It could also be called Objectivism, a philosophy touted by Ayn Rand.

I sense that Ayn Rand wasn't really promoting the idea as much as she was really exposing the heart of true human behavior: An unmitigated sense of self preservation, a world without health care, where only the strong survive.

The problem with this idea is that people who are weakest of mind are self-aggrandizing sufferers of the Dunning Kruker Effect, and wouldn't last a day on the African Savannah.

So, Paul Ryan's voting record and social values are not really surprising.

Critical Election Period

It's absolutely important that you do not ignore this year's mid-term election. Republicans are cutting off support for veterans, the jobless and poor children. They call this "tough love" but it's really genocide. If Republicans win they will send troops to war with Iran, Syria, Russia in Ukraine and Crimea, and perhaps even North Korea and Cuba.

Don't allow the Tea Party, Libertarians or Republicans back into the House and the Senate. They will hand your leash and property over to Wall Street.
Most importantly, there are also certain democrats who support agendas that are highly damaging to the 99% of Americans, so be extra-vigilant when choosing your candidate.

• Switch to clean, renewable resources instead of carbon.
• Support Solar, geothermal, wind, hydro-electric energy resource development.
• Use LED lighting instead of mercury vapor florescent lights.
• Increase the minimum wage.
• It will take working families off of food stamps and create higher demand in the local economy.
• Preserve reproductive rights and health care privacy for women.
• Legislators are not medical professionals.
• Stop the Keystone XL Pipeline.
• It will destroy the fresh water supply along its entire length where ever it leaks.
• Maintain separation of church and state.
• Religion has no business interfering in science education. Keep Religious education in religious schools.
• Repeal Corporate Person-hood.
• Stop the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership). It's NAFTA 2.0 and will destroy jobs in the U.S. and destroy farms in Asia like NAFTA destroyed farms in Mexico.
• Corporations are not people.
• Repeal Citizens United.
• Get money out of politics.
• Close Guantanamo Bay prison
• Repeal the USA Patriot Act.
• Reign-in NSA Spying on American Citizens.
