CAN YOU GUESS who plans to call the shots in America from here on out?

In less than 5 years, since the Supreme Court declared, through their Citizens United ruling, that money is the same as free speech, this is the result. This spending doesn't count the money that they, and others, are spending through Dark Money and Super PACs! The people must change what our country has become - a focus of profit over people. The people must Move To Amend! https://movetoamend.org Is this the America that American's want? Is this the America that our Founding Fathers envisioned?

 Trivia question: who is the largest foreign lease-holder of Canadian tar sands oil?

Yep!..Don't look behind the curtain.......look over there!

YES, THE ARCTIC ICE IS MELTING!  Yes, this is real. This one minute video shows the images of the melting Arctic, along with the graph.  This evidence is particularly startling, especially since the late 1990’s.  This is the most direct evidence I have seen:

No, this is not a hoax.  No, this is not science fiction.

"Why did America become more equal in the first three decades

 after World War II, and less equal during the last three decades?

Because in the earlier period we (1) increased public investment in education and infrastructure (hugely expanded K-12 and public higher education, created the interstate highways system); (2) financed by a high tax on the top dollars of the wealthy (never below 70%, 91% under Eisenhower); (3) created strong unions (in the 1950s, 35% of all private-sector workers belonged to one), and (4) made banking boring (with laws against interstate banking, mixing commercial and investment banking, and investment banks going public).

Over the last three decades, we went into reverse. We (1) diminished public investment as share of GDP; (2) lowered tax rates on top dollars of wealthy (to 28% under Reagan, now 36.9%); (3) busted unions (now 6% of private sector workers unionized); and (4) deregulated banking, allowing Wall Street to run the economy.
We also grew faster, on average, during the first period than the second.
So why did we make this giant U-turn?"  Robert Reich

You can see the results here:

ON THIS DATE, IN 1978, SWEDEN BECAME THE FIRST NATION TO CURB AEROSOL SPRAYS TO HALT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH'S OZONE LAYER.

This effort was joined by other nations and is considered to have successfully got us on the road to accomplishing the intended goal.  People who think humans are not capable of destroying our atmosphere, recognizing that destruction, and repairing that damage, should take note!  Global science deniers should take note!  Do they even remember Chlorofluorocarbons?

SHOULD WE CARE? Minnesotans are contemplating more, and more, of these pipelines to snake through our state. Who cleans this mess up when they fracture? Can they afford it? Can we afford it? Can we even do it? YOU BET WE SHOULD CARE!

Drinking water trucked into Montana city after oil spill!

There needs to be some rules to the game to make sure that this doesn't happen! As it stands, those who are in power have decided to grant multinational corporations the same rights as individual people and their money the same as our speech. It doesn't work very well for the people when the people are not in control of the power!

Eighteen of the 80 CEOs who signed a call for deficit action are actually some of the biggest outsourcers, and tax evaders, in America. First, they crashed the economy in 2008. They followed that up by taking billions in taxpayer bailout dollars. Their next step was to outsource jobs and evade taxes. Now they are calling for action on a deficit that they helped create over the past four years. Multinational corporations are not people and their money is not speech!
