Save The Postal Service

Apr 16, 2012 (10:10:55)

Postal management wants to close processing plants, slow down mail speed, and slash tens of thousands of jobs. And....Congress is holding on to billions of dollars of undisputed overpayments by the Postal Service into federal coffers (22.4 billion for future retiree healthcare and $9 billion into the FERS retirement system), but its refusal to authorize return of the money has caused the current crisis.

Solution: We are asking Congress to return the postal funds that have been overpaid, AND to block service cuts.

I hope you would consider taking action by contacting the Senators' offices, and/or stopping by and supporting us.

Smaller Government: Theory and Practice

Mar 20, 2012 (09:39:00)

Smaller Government In Theory And In Practice

March 19th, 2012

Here’s an interesting story on the motivations behind and the intended (and sometimes unintended) effects of the “reinventing government” movement. The show starts by telling the story of Camden, New Jersey, where one-third of the police force has been laid off, and includes an interview with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a leading proponent of smaller government. The next segment of the show focuses on Grover Norquist, the “no taxes” guru whom some call the most influential private citizen in the country. The final segment spotlights Colorado Springs, where the privatization movement has drastically slashed the size of some City departments. If you’re concerned about the future of government in this country, this is well worth a listen.

All across the country right now, local and state governments are finding they can't pay their bills. Schools are losing teachers, street lights are going dark, garbage is piling up in public parks, and cops are suddenly an optional expense.

Rose Bowl Parade Pro-Union Song!

Jan 16, 2012 (11:21:44)

Union Maid’s Rose Bowl Appearance
Just about the last thing TV viewers of the Rose Bowl Parade expected was a hearty marching band rendition of the classic Woody Guthrie song Union Maid (Oh you can’t scare me, I’m sticking to the union… etc.). But that’s exactly what they got courtesy of the Pulaski, WI High School Marching Band. Check out these great kids, especially about 1:15 minutes into their gig. Take that, Gov. Walker!
