Take Back Chicago Public Schools

“We will have a contract and it will come the easy way or the hard way,” she said at the news conference.

Exactly why there should be no more union, no more contract. The school system was built for the children, paid for by the taxpayers. The school system has been taken hostage by the union. iF LEWIS IS THE UNION PRESIDENT SPEAKING FOR THE UNION, THEN IT IS TIME TO BUST THE UNION.

Let the teachers strike for a year, two years, whatever. Take back the schools for the next 100 years FOR THE CHILDREN AND FOR THE TAXPAYERS.


"Parents don’t have a say about who runs the teachers union."

Another reason to get rid of the union. The parents should have the final say over whether there is a strike authorization, NOT THE UNION. THOSE TEACHERS WERE HIRED TO PROVIDE TEACHING SERVICES TO THE CHILDREN OF THOSE PARENTS, NOT FOLLOW ORDERS OF THE UNION LEADERSHIP. IF THE TEACHERS WANT TO CALL THE SHOTS, LET THEM PAY FOR THEIR OWN SALARIES. LET THEM START THEIR OWN SCHOOL SYSTEM AND PAY FOR IT, AND SEE IF ANY PARENTS ENROLL THEIR CHILDREN IN THE CTU'S SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION HAS INVADED AND STOLEN THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK THE SCHOOLS THAT WERE STOLEN BY THE UNION.

STAND YOU GROUND, RAHM. FIRE BACK AT THE UNION. LET THEM STRIKE UNTIL THE UNION IS BROKE. TAKE BACK THE SCHOOLS FOR THE CHILDREN!!

Insult

This campaign is a monumental INSULT to all Americans.  How DARE these two men think that we are all so st*pid as to vote for them when they REFUSE to tell us HOW they plan on running the economy, handling foreign relations and, of course, providing decent healthcare to our elderly citizens. In 2012 it is simply OUTRAGEOUS that a major political party thinks they can get by discussing nothing but cows  Read More... and kids. But, it becomes understandable when one considers that if indeed they spoke of their plans they would never get elected. THEY even came out and said that. That is a challenge thrown out to Americans to question them, insist that they have a dialogue with Americans and ultimately REFUSE to vote for them if they refuse to provide answers. Anything less is the shirking of our responsibility as American citizens. Do not abrogate your future to people who think you do not have the ability to question, research and learn.

Suppression

Romney and company should be at least 30 to 40 points behind Obama in the polls. They are not. The only way they can win this election is to cheat and they will lie and cheat with voter suppression and purging of the rolls. Why isn't anyone shouting to the highest mountain about voter suppression. What wrong with the Justice Department? If this was the democrats doing the voter suppression, the republicans would be screaming and roaring out of every microphone and someone would go to jail.

Vote Them Out!

We must all vote out Republicans, we know what they are about. Let hope voter suppression backfire on republicans. If you fail to vote them all out, they will be here to stay. A two party system will be no more only conservative. The republicans are liars, and they know that we know that. They are counting on votes from those who are not going to investigate their claims on Medicare. They are looking for votes from those who hate Obama, women, college students, and the elderly. Vote them out or they are here to stay. Why are Some Americans sitting back and letting voter suppression happened?  They are trying to take away our rights to vote. Where is Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, the national Urban League, the black caucus and many others to take these radical republicans on? Vote Them Out or they are here to stay.

Fight Voter Suppression With Votes

Voter Suppression is very real. We cannot let this happen. If Americans need IDs, we must supply them with what they don't have. Voter suppression should be against the law, wake up Eric Holder. We can't let republicans take our votes because they want to stay in power forever. We must counter voter suppression with action, get people registered and to the polls to throw these lawbreakers out. If we all work to get the vote out, we can beat these guys at their own game. State GOP Governors wants to make sure some Americans like seniors, college students, the elderly will not be able to vote, they are or already have suppressed. WE CANNOT LET THEM WIN. PEOPLE HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TO GAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING THAT AWAY. Get everyone registered and vote, vote, vote, and get these people out of office forever. Vote.

Hunger in America

The news has been full of articles about the 2012 Farm Bill. This publicity is good. The Farm Bill is not just about farming; it is an essential policy and funding point for delivering food and services to those in need. Reauthorized every five years, with the current version expiring this Sept 30th, the Farm Bill makes it possible for food pantries nationwide to serve neighbors who need help.  

The House of Representatives did not move forward on a bill before the summer recess and will have only a limited time frame to act when they return to work in September.  They are talking about making major cuts in appropriations.

The point we want to convey is that if benefits to unemployed, disabled and low income families are cut, then non-governmental organizations like Care for Real will have to try to make up the slack. Cutting food benefits to the poor will not make the poor go away. They will still need to eat.  

The Farm Bill is a giant (about $100 billion a year) omnibus piece of legislation. It regulates everything from forestry to livestock. However, 80% of the money goes to fund nutrition and emergency food assistance programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) and the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). About half of CfR's clients are presently receiving some form of this assistance. For SNAP, the average assistance in Illinois is $139/month.

Participation in these programs has risen since the start of the recession in 2007, of course. But federal and state budget deficits have resulted in funding cuts, widening the gap between demand and the availability of these services. For example, while the average benefit in Illinois is $139, the USDA estimates that a monthly food bill is $375 for a family of two and $546 for a family of four.  

Budget cuts in this year's bill range from $4.5 billion passed in the Senate version of the bill to $30 billion proposed by the House, $16 billion of that in the SNAP program. As many as three million Americans could lose their SNAP benefits and up to 300,000 children could lose access to free school meal programs.  

Cutting the SNAP benefits also effects local businesses at a time that many are struggling. Not only does SNAP create a critical safety net, but it generates $9 in local economic activity for every $5 given in benefits.

Many of the recent news articles focus on the misplaced priorities of the present bill. For example, both Chicago Tribune and New York Times editorials suggest that reform to the program should include tightening or removing the subsidies given to large and profitable agribusiness companies and removing the subsidies to companies that provide crop insurance. Others have suggested removing the subsidies for farming unproductive and environmentally sensitive wetlands and arid terrain and removing subsidies for food additives that are connected to the obesity epidemic.

A year for the records books

This year has been one for the record books. Extreme hot weather causing many deaths all over the United States. Senseless mass killings, violent crime saturating communities, neighborhoods, and budget cuts and funding drying up for needed programs. We need to elect new and better leaders for our country. We need to walk into Congress and demand gun control. We need to stand up against the extreme fringe walking the halls of Congress. We need get those out of office who don't have America as their best interest. We don't need liars and haters telling us what is good or bad for America. We must elect better leaders of both parties. We elect better leaders. We must elect better leaders.

Terrible, no way. Now could Obama been better during the first part of his administration, yes. However,  You couldn't get more terrible than the republicans. Some nerve. Their hatred for the president is adament and they will say anything outragous to get that hate vote against Obama. I will always believe that love is stronger than hate even with some tough odds.

How to survive an heart attack when alone

Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're going home (alone of

course), after an unusually hard day on the job.

You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your

chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up

into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the

hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't

know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have

been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the

course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart

attack, without help,the person whose heart is beating

improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only

about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing

repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should

be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep

and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep

inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two

seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until

the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing

movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood

circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also

helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart

attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many

other people as possible about this. It could save

their lives!

Vote

America stop feeling helpless against some of these republican crooks in the House of Representatives, we are not helpless, They know that the only they way to win the White House is to suppress the vote and to lie and cheat with million dollar ads on our TVs. Vote Them all out, it can happen If we make sure that every one is registered and get out and vote. I'm going to do my part at cleanng House.
