Economic Justice and the Wisconsin Uprising
Since the uprising in February 2011, Wisconsin’s legislature has implemented a raft of legislation that denies basic rights for all working people, not just unions. The agenda advances corporate power over the interests of average families, including corporate takeover of public resources such as education.
The real occupy movement today is found in state houses across this great land where big money interests aided by faux journalistic outfits, think tanks, and lurid amounts of campaign funding run roughshod over the rights of working men and women. Ultimately, many ...
CHILD CARE CRISIS IN MARATHON COUNTY
A child care crisis exists in Marathon County and throughout Wisconsin. This has a negative effect on business. Families looking for quality care are discovering that they cannot find quality child care.
Child care providers leave their positions for better pay and benefits. Child care covering shift work is almost non-existent. Waitlists for infant care are long and cause problems for parents who wish to return to work.
In addition, many children are suffering in substandard care. This adds to short and long-term workforce issues. All these problems negatively ...
WEALTH AND MONEY PART XXI: THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE OF THE PEOPLE OF PLANET EARTH
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people – the people of Planet Earth – to dissolve the economic manipulations and predations which have divided us, and to assume our intellectual and ethical responsibility to protect the ongoing integrity of Spaceship Earth for ourselves and our posterity, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to their actions.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator and the ...
Random Acts of Outrage
A friend of mine once opined, “When it comes to politics, I think there are really two kinds of people: those who care, and those who don’t.” The more I think about it, the more I agree. I find I have a lot more in common with those people who hold completely opposite opinions than I do than with those who have none. There is a consideration and passion that fuels them that I recognize and respect, no matter how much we might disagree. And in our disagreements I often find myself admitting the weaknesses in my own arguments, and conceding some logic I might find in ...
The Choice: Status Quo or Loose Cannon
If you think all politicians are crooked liars and it doesn't matter who gets elected you are mistaken. Who a candidate is and their “vision” for the country is important. The candidate's position on the issues matter. Because politics affects almost everything, differences in the agendas and philosophies of political leaders can make a difference to your life.
Mrs. Clinton is a known public figure. She will probably govern much the same as President Obama or the first Clinton administration. We can expect the affordable care act to be continued (basically a good ...

PRESERVE OUR WISCONSIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS…. DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION
For years, Wisconsin was in the TOP TEN states when it came to spending money on public education. In the past years, Wisconsin has slipped below the median. Yes, sad but true, Wisconsin is in the middle ranking in financial support of public education.
It is important to be aware of this and to arm yourself with facts. Call your legislators and let them know you are among the 90 per cent of the public who support our public schools.
You can call the legislators on off-hours and put your message on the message machine or you can call during office hours and talk with ...
