Rain

Lots of rain, lots of wind, waiting for the snow to drop. They say it will snow to 1000 feet

here goes democracy

It seems that after the Supreme Court made a decision on Citizens United, the floodgates opened and corporatism took control. Now they are dropping the curtain and will be doing direct donations to candidates, as they could really give a damn what the people think.  The American Petroleum Institute know we are adicted to their product so they will ignore any and all the noise the public might make, because they know the people don't really count anymore. Corporatism has won the battle, but they should tread with caution because the war has just started.

In my secret canyon (not visible from the highway) the poppies are getting ready to put on a show.

want to read something to get you angry?

I just read the following on the California Labor Blog....Spotlight for February 25th, 2011 This issue has not yet been placed on their website, but here is part of the newsletter that got my attention.

Social Security Agency Workers Take Action Against Cuts and Furloughs

The current budget adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives includes budget cuts that will result in Social Security Administration employees being furloughed for up to 23 workdays before September 30,2011. The budget also proposes a hiring freeze and an end to overtime, which would affect not just the workers but also the seniors and disabled that rely on Social Security benefits to get by.

Join the SSA workers as they stand up for themselves and those they serve on Wednesday, March 2nd from 11:30am to 1:30 pm at the Eastmont Mall (Gate E) in Oakland.
