January 28, 2011 Wow, certain cable companies didn't lose much time canceling the Sundance Channels after "Hot Coffee" was seen at the Sundance Film Festival and Amy Goodman did the above interviews. - Just who was involved in having those channels canceled? I think we'd all like to know. Follow the money.
Citizens are fighting for freedom of speech all over the world. It's a shame we are losing ours here in the United States.
Let's look at the media (and most of the [viewers] general public's) response to the speech; then let's listen to the President's "State of the Union Address" followed by the Republican Party response and our beloved Rachel Maddow. .... And then finally ... progressive voices.
While President Obama still has a lot to learn in regards to banks and the financial sector; he clearly understands that one of the ways (and it's going to take a lot) to dig this nation out of the hole we're in, is with a company like GE, and a CEO like Jeffrey Immelt. [Immelt ... we forgive you for your past mistakes because we believe you care about the American people; ... and Immelt, ... let's concentrate less on military and outsourcing, and more on American jobs, domestic and international peace and tranquility, and the environment].
We bet a whole bunch of you Clevelanders (and New Yorkers, etc.) have relatives who work for, or worked for GE; and GE respects its unions (or did -not sure what's going on now).
The focus definitely should be on jobs, innovative products, great exports and making the Middle Class strong again. We definitely like Immelt's focus. It's a shame the GOP is wasting tax-payer money on destructive and futile efforts, and trying to gain political points ... but they never learn; and unfortunately, Americans pay the price.
As for the blood suckingcorporate globalizers who only care about profits and not people ... We've got news for you. We're urging all the average, ordinary citizens of the world to unionize to stop these global blood suckers from exploiting your country and your labor. Make them act responsibly, and make them pay their fair share.
UPDATE March 25, 2011 / GE IS NOW ON OUR WALL OF SHAME:
People all over the world ... please don't let the GOP, or anyone, or any country, or any organization, stop you from forming a strong union. NO ONE! Unions must globalize to lift the standard of living for people everywhere.
How does the GOP (and it's predominately white conservative membership) plan to disenfranchise and limit African Americans' (and even Hispanics) rise (or access) to prosperity and power?
They do what they've always done.
Any organization where African Americans have ownership or power or where African Americans (do well for themselves) in large numbers, the GOP seeks to crush and/or deny that organization or entity. (*) -[Remember .. the GOP now has a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, a majority in the Ohio Senate/Ohio House, and they've gained important political positions (governor, attorney general, secretary of state, judicial, etc.) throughout the United States] - Here's how: - Crush (and demonize) ACORN (which they did with the help of all but 75 House Democrats); ... Crush the Unions, Public Education, (so called) Big Government; Crush President Obama , lie (and create a climate of unreasonable fear and promotion of negative stereotypes) to get back in or stay in power, and *redistrict.
With African Americans denied loans to start or maintain a business, and businesses legally allowed to discriminate in hiring and serving African Americans, (and the Unions busted) ... the majority of African Americans will have little place to go - except as non union domestic workers (or low wage health care workers, etc), to prison (after all, according to many conservatives, most Blacks are criminals and that's where they belong) or the military. - [And don't forget the GOP's desire to repeal the 14th Amendment] The GOP plan is to [in effect] return to the good ole days of slavery. That's why the Tea Party constantly talk about the "founding fathers". This kind of thinking, and the (founding father's focus on acquisition of property), fits right in with corporate America (corporate globalization) and the GOP's plans to dominate the world (and not in a good way). Ex: WATCH
The GOP also has an obsession with voter id laws that impact voting access for seniors and minorities.
What about African American women? ... With no job (or fewer high wage jobs), ... not being able to pay for higher education, ... no or little health insurance and/or health care [if the GOP succeeds in repealing health insurance reform], ... no full reproductive services ... that means more African Americans in poverty and/or prison or in the military to help keep corporate America and the GOP (white conservatives) happy, prosperous, wealthy, and in power. The prisons of course would become increasingly more privately owned and the inmates would be increasingly used for cheap labor. [See also section on prisons] Unfortunately, poor and a great many middle class white women (including conservative white women) - won't be able to afford college, or receive specialized career or job training because of the GOP's agenda to demolish BIG GOVERNMENT and repeal that health insurance reform act [that makes it possible for low cost college funding], and the GOP's desire to get rid of PELL grants (see also **) and public safety nets; add to that the GOP's much too cozy relationship with Big Business ... you are looking at the demise of the Middle Class. Furthermore, with no access to full reproductive services or good health care ... and with steadily eroding rights, [please research the number of Republicans against women's rights in the workplace, etc] these women will find themselves working at low wages (since the GOP is against a minimum wage), and totally subjugated to men. The Republican men will always point to some women who have some degree of power ... but some of these powerful women would simply be (conservative) paid Madams who essentially "keep the girls in line" and pregnant,even if a 13 year old girl is pregnant because she was coerced to have sex with an adult(after all, you need white conservative males to take or hold the reigns of power).
"In pursuit of these principles we endorse and shall promote the following initiatives.
I.Tr To form a more perfect Union
e.Oppose “Localism and Diversity”, the Fairness Doctrine or whatever else such attempted restrictions are labeled. Any restriction on speech is by definition NOT free speech.
f.Reject the Employee free -choice Elimination- act, as an unconscionable affront to the right to a secret vote.
g.Restore integrity to the electoral process:
i.Prohibit any public funding of advocacy groups such as ACORN, no matter what it or its affiliate organizations rename themselves; New York Communities for Change, New England United for Justice etc.; Conduct thorough investigation of their activities and voter fraud and prosecute violations.
ii.Eliminate motor voter and other voter fraud mechanisms; institute secure voter registration and identification systems.
"Republicans aren't proposing an across-the-board cut on the government, so some departments could see deeper cuts than others. The top targets could be programs whose budgets saw a jump under Democrats, like foreign aid and Pell Grants for middle-income college students."
