The Peruser

 by RF Schatten “ The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use...of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public. ” ... Robert F. Kennedy. Bobby Kennedy , was a Civil Servant, he worked “For the People”. Today, even the word “Civil Servant” is as non-existent, as “Statesman”. We have lost something terribly in America...maybe, it's that Eloquence in Political Speech, that inspires the Soul...instead, we have a constant rhetoric...that inspires Delusional Fanaticism. “Beware of False Prophets”, they say. I grew up, when there was, a much different Republican Party...I might not have agreed with them, all the time, but I respected them. Barry Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, Everett Dirksen , Hugh Scott...all different, some more conservative, some more liberal...all Republicans, though. But, they were all Gentlemen, all Statesmen, and, all believed that there job, was to serve the ...

 by David Arellanes  At times It is hard to admit to our failure of you and your classmates. By completely missing what was happening we failed. We did tell you and your classmates exactly what you say: "If you work hard, stay focused, get good grades, go to college, graduate, then the world would be at your feet.  Your opportunities would be endless." Well...we, your parents and teachers, at the time we were telling you this didn't realize the top 5% of the most wealthy and politically connected in this country and around the world were in the process of taking the rest of us, the working class people, for the fastest ride downhill of our entire lives. We had no idea that they would screw everyone so they could get 95% of the cherry pie. I would apologize to you and your classmates, but now that we all know what the 5% has done, we now must fight back to put them in there place. To make the lawmakers change the laws. Some laws back to what they once were that protected ...

by Margarita Mercure Hibbs One of the troubles within the Democratic Party (DNC) is that often, we can’t be counted on to focus on 5 main goals, primarily because we don’t even have the attention span of 5 year olds.  We can’t even agree about the 5 goals. How can anyone forget the notion that organizing the Democratic Party is like herding cats?  Every single interest group can make cogent and sustained arguments about the legitimacy of their cause, but fail in one key aspect; consistent cooperation and collaboration. For purposes of illustration, let us look at the labor community.  Aside from being the historical and present fighters for worker’s rights and employment justice, labor unions will always be strong proponents for the working man.  Another portion of their regard for Labor Unions is the big money that they represent to political campaigns.  Reality is that it takes a great deal of money to run for political office. The sad part is that Labor U...

by RF Schatten Why should anyone, be allowed to have the best Medical Care possible? If you are sick, and do not have the financial means to see a Doctor...why do you believe, that you have the same right to see someone, that can take care of your problem...the same way, than those, who “can” afford the best care possible? What gives you that right? If it takes you, more than 5 seconds, to come up with the correct answer...then, you too!! may be one of those people, in this country...who really don't care, about your fellow Human Being. Sadly, there is quite a few out there. America, is the greatest country on this earth, as we are to believe...so why do we have, as of 2008-2009 Census... 46.3 million people uninsured? That total, has obviously risen, though, some scattered early benefits of the Healthcare Reform Bill...has alleviated the situation a bit. We won't see the full impact, of the Bill, for a few more years, when it will be fully implemented. Along, with all t...

by David Arellanes Bush and his poster children: Cheney, Rove, etc. have cost us, the middle class tax payers, $3,000,000,000.00 !!! THREE TRILLION DOLLARS! The Koch Bros. and Murdoch, and Cheney through Halliburton and Blackwater have made $$MILLIONS$$ off the backs of the middle class and poor. WE are all sick of their lies, theft, and outright fraud committed on the American people. They have caused the deaths of thousands of our brave American service men and women. NEEDLESSLY! BUSH and CHENEY started the IRAQ war to take the natural resources of Iraq, in the form of the oil, for their business buds in the oil industry. Their other corporate buds from black ops to the war manufacturing machine have made trillions at the expense of our lives and dollars. They have caused the deaths of ten-of-thousands of innocent people across Iraq and Afghanistan. We will NOT start another war for the WAR PROFITEERS to make trillions more for their own pockets. They will try to use their usual po...
