Sherrod Brown on Wall Street Reform, Disclose Act, and Creating Jobs

Sherrod Brown has been and still is fighting for the working class people.  We need more people like him, Alan Grayson of Florida, and Anthony Weiner of New York.


The Republicans Want to Enforce "Women are Worth Less"

As I was going through my E-Mails I came across this video from "No Limits Foundation" sent to me from Ann Lewis.  I agree with this and it was one of the first things that President Obama had done when he became President, he signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act on January 29, 2009.

"On average, a woman who works year-round in a full-time job makes 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man," said Marcia Greenberger, President of the National Women's Law Center. "The wage gap grows even wider when we look at the numbers for women of color: African-American women earn 62 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men, while Hispanic women earn only 53 cents. These disparities translate into an earnings gap of $10,849 per year. That's . . . money that families need to pay for basic necessities such as groceries, child care, rent and health insurance."
The Paycheck Fairness Act, which was introduced by then Senator Hillary Clinton and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro in 2009, is an important step to making equal pay a reality for working women and their families. As White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett said: "…equal pay is not only a matter of principle; it's a matter of survival." Among other badly needed provisions, the Act would prevent employers from penalizing workers who share their salary information – the kind of information that would have made a difference for Lily Ledbetter. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Lily Ledbetter discuss equal pay and the Paycheck Fairness Act here.
The House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act in January of last year – now it's up to the Senate!
Call your senators today and tell them to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act now!



The Republicans are going to repeal the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act if they get the majority in the House and Senate.  If this is what you want, then vote Republican this November.

Don't just take it from me - take it from GOP Sen. Jim DeMint, one of the architects of this year's conservative uprising. He promises that if Republicans take the majority, we'll have "complete gridlock."

Ed Shultz "Is Jim DeMint Drunk With Power?

Jim DeMint and the Republicans are just flat out liars destroying our country.  You need to realize the damage that is being done by these lies.

‘America Speaking Out’ Against Republican Proposals On Republican Website

House Republicans have proudly touted their America Speaking Out website — which allows visitors to suggest and vote on various policy prescriptions — as a new and innovative way to involve the American people in the democratic process and the creation of federal policy. Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) said the site is “revolutionizing the way we govern by engaging the American people and seeking your ideas for making things better.” Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) said that America Speaking Out proves “the Democrat [sic] majority isn’t listening, but House Republicans will.”

Fox News rejected the ad three times

Next Tuesday, Media Matters for America is going on the air to let Fox viewers know about a story the network has largely kept them in the dark about: the $1 million donation to a Republican campaign arm by Fox's parent company, News Corp.
We can't let Fox continue to pose as a news network while functioning as a political operation. It starts by letting Fox viewers know just how much money the network they're watching has dumped into campaigns to elect Republicans and defeat Democrats.
Fox News rejected the ad three times. Only after it was confronted by another news outlet did Fox agree to run it. You can help us put it on the air and offer 30 seconds of truth in the midst of Fox's 24/7 propaganda machine.

Pawlenty Restricts Health Care Money

Pawlenty Restricts Health Care Money

This is what the Republican Party is all about, destroy President Obama and the economy just to get back in power no matter who they hurt.  Are you going to let the Republican Party take us into more wars, higher unemployment, more home foreclosures, higher insurance costs, less services, cut out Social Security altogether, cut out Medicare and Medicaid altogether and much , much more in November?  I hope not and I hope you can see the lies that the Republican Party have been telling over the last ten years which lead us to the collapse of America. President Obama did not make this mess and he has been trying to get it right but the Republican keep disrupting everything to make a better economy for America. 

Remember that changing the way Washington works is not easy because they you not want their benefits taken away and that is just what President has been doing, alittle at a time so the Republicans, Insurance Companies, Wall Street, and the very , very rich are doing everything they can to destroy President Obama.  Don't let them do it.
