DA-MTA member, John Marty, MN State Senator, continues his efforts to get MN to be one of the first to adopt MTA language.  His "We the People" legislation has passed all necessary sub-committees at this point.  We should contact all legislators to get their support for when "We the People" reaches the MN House & MN Senate floor.

How much do you have to pay in taxes tomorrow? Multi-national companies make billion dollar profits, cut jobs, and off shore their profits to pay ZERO$ in taxes. Wonder why we have to cut education, public services, cut social security, and cut welfare benefits? So these companies get richer and richer and pay off lobbyists and congress for more and more tax breaks and loopholes.

Alcoa Aluminum is among those who are on the list of mega-corporations that are masters of dodging taxes ! ...Coincidence?.... Hardly! 
How do you feel about paying for these corporations being subsidized….by you….while they make record profits for their mega-corporation executives and investors? Check out the list at:

"Once you see something, you can't un-see it. Once you know something, you can't un-know it."  Arundhati Roy.
Her complete words include:
"The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no innocence. Either way, you're accountable."
If we don't speak up, our silence is often taken as a "yes"...... Silence speaks volumes....and is often interpreted wrongly…..but it is interpreted none the less.

Top of Form

 We are all activists....whether we want to be or not. The very things that injure, and kill, people are too often the very things that keep too many mega-corporations alive. The concept that corporations are, legally, the same as people, and have the same protections and rights with the use of their money as we do with our free speech, is just plain wrong. That concept is ruining our country..... economically, for the middle class, and environmentally for everyone…..see Global Climate Change, Fracking, & high sulfur oil.
