Here is why? At least Republicans are overt about their disdain for the little guy. Democrats say they care about us, and then stab us in the back every time they get a chance.

We need a “viable” third party.

Here is a breakdown of which Democrats voted against it, and the amount of money several of them received from the banking industry.

let them know that there IS a grassroots movement to bring EVERY lobby friendly Senator opposition in their district. If you can be bought, you can be told where to go! Bring honest to the Senate – “We The People” should mean living, breathing PEOPLE, not corporate people who can OWN other corporate people…

I believe these horrible Democrats just told America “bite me” and I think a few insect bites might do some good.

Is there some kind of action site where we can send them a few thousand email messages expressing our concern for their future in politics?

These blue dogs, including Evan Bayh, will throw health care reform to the for-profit sector.

In bankruptcy, corporations can cram down debt holders.

Homeowners cannot get their mortgage crammed down, even if the bankruptcy judge wants to.

Our Democratic majority Congress voted corporatist.

Abolish Lobbying.

too late.

lobbying already abolished citizens.

turned us into consumers.

What color is the mutherfocking sky where you live?

…to heck with all those pesky little citizens…

…they only vote for us thinking we will do the right thing.

Lobbying is a better “investment” than keeping employees around for a corporation. The return on “investing” in lobbying could be 1000:1 or MORE if they get the laws passed that benefit the CEOs and board members! These corporate crooks just hire back kids out of college to replace the gaps in employment for less money in a couple years anyway all the while; their existing work force was double worked. I’ve lived it and I’m speaking 1st hand knowledge of how corporations work. It’s sad and makes me mad!

Mortgage Bankers Association Faces More Cuts

Yet another round of pink slips hit the Mortgage Bankers Association on Monday. According to two lobbyists close to the group, the MBA announced about 20 layoffs–including some vice presidents– in areas such as marketing, education, membership and government affairs. The latest cost cutting move is the third in the last year by the group which has been hit hard by the subprime mortgage debacle

Amazing that they can still afford lobbying…so lobbying government takes priority over all else.

Abolish Lobbying.

In fact is a system pretty common in democracies around the world, specially in Europe. The fact is, private lobbying is considered (and has been for many centuries) as bribery.
