David Cobb Speaks in Pawtucket
Last night former Green Party candidate David Cobb spoke at the Pawtucket Public Library on the topic of corporate personhood. Mr.Cobb is an organizer for Move to Amend, a citizen’s response to the Citizen’s United decision that, in layman’s terms, says corporations are people just like you and me. Really big people.

Stephen King: Tax Me, for F@%&’s Sake! – The Daily Beast
If only more people could cut through the right-wing “protect the rich” talking points like Stephen King, we might actually have a strong middle class again. Stephen King: Tax Me, for F@%&’s Sake! – The Daily Beast.
May Day 2012
Just got back from the May Day march for workers and the 99%. The crowd looked about 200 people, diverse in age, class, race and politics. What Cheer Marching Band was there. The march route took us through the City Hall lobby and I was right next to the tuba player. That was an experience. [...]
Support Elizabeth Warren for US Senate, and Send Kiersten to Netroots Nation!

Also Herb Weiss, who is a friend and who reminds all his Facebook friends that 4/24 is election day. Julie [...]

Daily Kos is unapologetically a progressive site, so I read this post by Bill Schmalfeldt assuming that there was a slant [...]

Is Your Congress Breeding Bolsheviks?
Rep. Allen West has their number. About 70, or is it 80, or maybe 81? I’ll let Hunter at Daily Kos handle this one, I’ve got to go to work. [And so as not to deny an enterprising business the fruits of their labor--You can get your very own copy of this vintage advertising poster [...]
