Republican Congress create Anger and Donald Trump

One of the main reason for the anger and discontent in our society is, "people working harder and are taking home less than they did 15 years ago". Stagnant wages for the middle class while Corporations are a-wash in cash buying back stocks and paying executives enormous UN-conceivable wages.


Donald J Trump


Donald Trump says "Americans are paid too much", Donald Trump hire illegal's to work for him in his corporation, Donald Trump ships American jobs abroad at every chance he get, all Trump brand merchandise sold in stores and on the Internet are made in a foreign country by foreign workers and Donald Trump is now the presumptive Republican Party Nominee, there is conflict and or confusion here!. "Is there more to the anger out there or this perceived anger is a real farce perpetuated on the American people". The truth is this any anger that exist is the product of a "do nothing Republican Congress" who were prepared to stall or wreck the US economy because the could not get 100% of what they wanted.

Rep Eric Cantor
Republicans in congress made a mockery of their constituents and some Americans convincing them they could repeal the affordable care act by voting over fifty times for repeal when they know the President would veto the legislation, this was a game to them to get re-elected wrapped in Conservative principles which really meant protect the rich.
Rep John Boehner

That was not leadership hence two prominent Republican leaders became the ultimate victim of the stupidity, first Majority Leader Rep Eric Cantor lost his seat in 2014 election and recently Rep John Boehner resigned as speaker of the house after failing to convince his republican caucus that what they were doing was not governing and they would end up hurting the Republican Party. Now here is Donald Trump a Liberal taking over as Leader of the Conservative Republican Party duly elected by fiscal conservatives, social conservatives and every other conservative stripe bringing the end of conservatism in the United states of America.

Thanks to seven Democrats - Debo Adegbile Voted down

Weak Democrats 

The Democrats who opposed Adegbile’s confirmation are Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Chris Coons (D-DE), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Mark Pryor (D-AR) and John Walsh (D-MT).

Debo Adegbile previously served as the acting head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, he is one of the nation’s top civil rights attorneys is a leading expert on voting rights who twice defended the voting rights Act before the Supreme Court the first time successfully. He is the ideal candidate to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division the division which, among other things, oversees the federal government’s voting rights work in an era where conservative state lawmakers are currently waging a widespread campaign to prevent demographic groups that tend to vote for Democrats from casting a ballot.

These seven Democrats should be held to account for their votes especially at a time when the voting rights act is under fire in several States across the country. Democrats know Sen. Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp are unreliable but our surprise came from Senator Chris Coons who promised to make tough choices in support of freedom his vote was the biggest surprise and a failure to stand with the President and be on the right side of this issue.

Thanks to seven Democrats Debo Adegbile voted down leaving the Civil Rights Division without a leader while the assault from states continue on voting rights.

"AFFORDABLE CARE ACT Changing the Game for Ordinary AMERICANS"

Affordable Care Act

To put things in proper perspective, some Political Representatives are afraid that the "affordable Care Act Obama Care" will work and make Americans healthy over time then insurance companies will no longer be able to exploit them raising rates at will while unable to drop people with pre-existing conditions.

Americans with the ACA or "Obama Care" will have a choice and no longer have to stay in dead end low paying Jobs like Walmart Stores and other employers who see their underpaid workers as their way to maintaining wealth.

Americans with aspirations and goals can now pursue then knowing that their health insurance will always be there for them and no longer threatened by a loss of employment, a peace of mind never enjoyed by American's before. Middle aged Americans with skills and Training who have been cut out of the Economy by technology and business consolidation and end up working at low paying Jobs like a Greeter at "Walmart Stores" for $8.75per hour to maintain, "Junk Health Insurance" now have a choice. By purchasing health Insurance through "Obama Care, the Affordable Care Act" these American's can now move on and pursue other dreams like starting their own new business taking risks and helping a always grateful Nation. .

Would you believe that this is what all this fuss is all about, "Americans having health Care no one can take away from them"? The Affordable Care Act is changing the Game for ordinary Americans putting them in the drivers seat and "Corporate America" is scared.

Republican Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) who does he speak for?

Rep. John Boehner, "Rep. Steve King comments are deeply offensive and wrong"!

Rep. Steve King  (R-Iowa)
Europeans were welcomed to the United States through Ellis Island and their names were forever etched in the history of their new country. Some europeans continue to live in the United states without ever becoming citizens of the country that welcomed them, granted those alive today are well into their eighties and nineties and enjoy the benefits of their labor as citizens of the United States.

The other notable migration to the United states were black people purchased as slaves and brought to the united states as slave primarily to work on farms but later worked on some of the most prominent monuments including the capital building and the white house. Republicans like Rep. Steve King of Iowa continue to deny the very existence of black people and their contribution to this great country.

The attack by Rep.Steve King on "DREAMERS" and the "dream act" that would allow young people including Hispanics, Asians including indians, west Indians and other nationalities brought to the United by their parents to become legal residents and eventual citizens is not surprising. These are sentiments are expressed in the work place in public places and in the general community by individuals who feel disenfranchised as educated and qualified minorities now participate in prominent jobs and decision making that affect the nation going forward.

This is Rep. Steve King thinking of these young people and he will not back down from it,
        
"Some of them are valedictorians and their parents brought them in. It wasn't their fault. It’s true in some cases, but they aren't all valedictorians. They weren't all brought in by their parents. For every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they've been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert". Rep. Steve King

Regardless of Rep. John Boehner rebuke he is the leader of the Republicans in the house of representatives and he allowed these deep resentments of minorities to fester and grow in his caucus Rep. John Boehner should have seen this national embarrassing statement coming.

Mitt Romney"s Flips and Flops the, "Blunt Amendment"

The White House policy requires employers to include contraception in their employees’ healthcare plans without charging a co-pay or deductible, but exempts churches and houses of worship. Religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals would not have to directly cover birth control in their healthcare plans, but their employees could still obtain it, without a co-pay, from their respective insurance companies.

The Blunt Amendment Creates a Huge Loophole, Allowing Employers and Plans to Use Religious or Moral Convictions to Eliminate Critical Health Care Services
The Blunt Amendment allows employers and insurance companies to refuse coverage of any health care service required under the new health care law based on undefined “religious beliefs or moral convictions.”  This creates a huge loophole in the new health care law’s coverage requirements.  For example, any corporation whose CEO opposes contraception based on his “moral convictions” could deny all coverage of contraception or any other service to the company’s employees.  Even more disturbing, a CEO’s view of “morality” could potentially include concern for the cost of a particular benefit.  Such broad, undefined refusals would result in millions of individuals losing vital health service coverage.
http://www.nwlc.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/blunt_amendment_fact_sheet_march_2012.pdf
Opponents of the Blunt amendment pointed out that the bill not only would have allowed employers to cherry-pick women's health care options based on moral beliefs, but it also would have rolled back some of the basic anti-discrimination protections in the Affordable Care Act. For instance, under the amendment, an employer could refuse to cover things like HIV/AIDS screenings, prenatal care for single mothers, mammograms, vaccinations for children and even screenings for diabetes based on objections to a perceived immoral lifestyle.

Flop!
“I’m not for the bill (the blunt amendment), but look, the idea of presidential candidates getting into questions about contraception within a relationship between a man and a woman, husband and wife, I’m not going there,” Romney answered.

Flip!

 “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment".

Flop!

“I didn't understand his question,” Romney said on a Boston radio show later Wednesday. “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment.” And in a statement Thursday, Romney praised senators who backed the measure.
Romney: You know, I made it very clear when I was being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos in a debate a while ago.



 Contraception is working just fine, let’s just leave it alone.

Republicans contend that the Blunt amendment, which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would reverse the national health-care law’s requirement that all employers, including religious-affiliated institutions, provide health coverage that includes contraceptive care at no co-pay cost to employees.

 “Governor Romney supports the Blunt Bill because he believes in a conscience exemption in health care for religious institutions and people of faith.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), came out in support of the measure Wednesday. But most national Democrats have hammered Republicans over the amendment, arguing that it would give employers broad discretion to deny their employees any type of coverage by citing the conscience exception

Get Money Out of Politics

Dylan Rattigan is a  Popular talk show Host and has dedicated some time to Get Money Out of Politics through Constitutional Changes

Today we face a crushing burden of foreclosures, dropping incomes, and a financial elite that has bought our government. The elite consensus is powerful enough to prevent change, no matter who is elected. The situation seems, at least in electoral terms, hopeless. Yet, America has been here before, and has shown remarkable resilience in the darkest of times.


Wall Street from New York Harbor

So just how do we get the debate we deserve? How do we root out the corruption, greed, and fraud in our system? Clearly, the root of much evil in our system of government comes from the financing of political campaigns by powerful interests. And the Supreme Court has said that money is speech, and thus, protected by the Constitution. So we must pass a Constitutional amendment to speak back to the Supreme Court, and assert the primacy of government by the people.
