I am fed up with the lies.

Obama's gains

It seems most days there are letters blasting President Obama and how he has ruined our country. Well, I am fed up with the lies. How has an unemployment rate that is cut in half “ruining America”? How are millions of people on health care for the first time “ruining America”? How about the millions of jobs saved here and around the world by bailing out the auto companies? 

Perhaps “made in America” means nothing to the Obama-bashers. President Obama has made every decision with the best interest of the citizens of this country. Unfortunately, he has been stonewalled by a political party whose agenda is not the country's recovery, but the “recovery” of the White House. Astonishingly, we are a working-class community, yet those who believe Obama has ruined America identify and endorse those whose allegiance is to big, private corporations, their CEOs who are billionaires, and those who are destroying our planet.

Scalia Many Times Favored Right Wing Republicans Not The Interest Of American People

Scalia vs. USA

The death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia provides a great opportunity for America. Many of his decisions have been in favor of the right-wing Republicans and against the best interest of the American people, democracy, and more recently, the planet.

Begin with the decision to appoint George W. Bush president by stopping the recount in Florida when thousands of votes were never even counted and 500,000 more people voted for Gore. That is not democracy.

The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision to allow corporations and individuals to buy elections and candidates is contrary to any democratic principle. The Koch brothers are planning to spend more than $300 million in support of their Republican candidates. That is not democracy.
