Hayworth's support of Citizens United vs. FEC, her vote to eliminate funding for presidential election campaigns inform us of her willing to surrender American democracy for corpocracy, her vote to repeal Health Care Legislation belies her callousness for the sick, the disenfranchised, and those who are denied health care like many of our children; her support call for fossil fuel generated energy and her denial of global warming and rejection of cap and trade and much more clearly identify her as a corporate gopher or "go-fer"or whatever;a politician who serves the rich, the money and power brokers at the expense of the people, the environment and future generations. Hayworth should resign now!

Thanks for this feedback, and for taking the survey. I'll add some additional categories.

Tom:
I took your survey. Under political affiliation you only list D, R, I while there are many others such as the Working Families Party, etc. So, "Other" and entry box might help.

A few of our members touched upon the possibility that the Republicans will push for repeal of the newly enacted Health Care bill.

An informative piece on NPR radio details why that possibility is quite remote.

2010-11-20T13:18:57.659-05:00

We know what the "agenda" of the GOP is - and that's not going to change anytime soon. Their "agenda" is the same one it's been since the administration of President Grant nearly a century-and-a-half ago: to act as handmaidens for the corporate plutocracy.

BREAKING NEWS: They're are not on our side. They haven't been for a very long time. In fact, "Republican party" is a misnomer. They are no longer a political party. They are an organized criminal enterprise. Wake up. While the Democrats (in their present incarnation anyway) may be all-but-worthless, the GOP is beyond redemption.

The American people committed economic suicide when they handed the House of Representatives back to these jackals and jackasses.

And our downward spiral will only continue....

I second that call for everyone to stick with the Alliance. Incidentally, the photo here was taken last summer, in July 2009 at the River Festival here in Beacon

What a horrible decision by a horrible activist Supreme Court majority. We should support Congresswoman Edwards to the best of our abilities.

Perhaps the youngest group could be persuaded to demonstrate their "like" by getting active in the midterm elections at least as much as they were in 2008. I much appreciated the difference they made then, but we need it again for him to be able to deliver more than he has been able to so far because of the R's unprecendented misuse of filibustering. Certainly their group has the capability to outwork the others.

Thanks, Steven for these links.

Hello Sisters and Brothers,

Congratulations on the new blog site...looks great and very informative. I will be happy to list it on my website's Radical Links section, of course, and hope to see many of you at upcoming progressive actions.

Just a quick note, the Flames of Discontent's schedule has simmered down quite a bit due to other music commitments but mostly due to my very busy schedule with 1199! Anyhow, we have NOT dropped our primary event which occurs each Fall: join us at the Howland in Beacon for this year's Dissident Folk & Arts Festival (Oct 17, 7PM). Some have asked why we are continuing to organize anything "dissident". Sure, we finally got rid of Bush, that embarressment who held the White House and the nation hostage for 8 years, but we must continue to be activists. While supporting President Obama's reforms and mildly progressive leadership, we must also hold him to his important campaign promises: ending the war in Iraq, eliminating tax breaks for the rich, instituting the start of universal healthcare, passing the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, moving into an environmentally-conscious philosophy and rebuilding the world's confidence in the US. And as the economy goes into triage and the war in Afghanastan escalates, we need to speak out. However, as Obama is coming under intense right-wing, neo-fascist assault which is clearly as based in racism as it is in a cowboy capitalist agenda, we must be careful to not fall prey to the reactionaries' plan. Remember, the Glen Becks and Rush Limbaughs of the right-wing noise vacuum are just waiting to pounce. I for one see them as the absolute enemy of democracy.

Peace,
John Pietaro
