It should be called Organizing AGAINST America!

.

Because the President of the United States called Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's attempt to bridge a $3 billion budget shortfall by proposing modest cuts in health care and pension benefits to state employees an "attack on unions," Barack Hussein Obama's activist organizing wing, Organizing for America, are playing an extensive role in exploiting the taxpayers with protests against the state government's crusade to avoid bankruptcy.

.

Bused in members of the Service Employees International Union, (SEIU), the most influential union in national Democratic circles, have also joined the fray in opposition of Governor Walker's proposed budget cuts to save the state from insolvency.

.

With regard to inheriting a $137 million deficit for this year alone, Governor Scott Walker commented on what led up to the economic crisis the people in Wisconsin are now facing:

.

“Previous governors and legislatures from both parties took money from our tobacco settlement. They raided more than a billion dollars from the transportation fund and $200 million from the patients’ compensation fund. They increased taxes on the sick and set up shell games to draw down additional federal funds. They relied on one-time federal stimulus dollars as if the money would be there forever – but it’s already gone.”

.

Urgently needed to balance the budget and save government jobs, along with 30 other states that are negotiating union cuts, and/or pay freezes, Governor Walker is asking government workers to make a 5.8% pension contribution (about the national average) and 12.6% health insurance contribution (about half the national average). Since benefits represent on average 46% of their total package, Governor Walker has also proposed the public sector unions give up their privilege to collectively bargain for benefits, but NOT their wages.

.

"This is a statist uprising that is being fueled by leftist politicians and the leftist media.” “Wisconsin’s governor is proposing that state union workers should pay a little more of their health benefits (from 6% to 12%) and media calls this America’s Cairo moment?

This is outrageous.”

- - Grassfire Nation's Steve Elliott

.

Union leaders are just as corrupt as the Obama administration. They use their workers/member's dues to further their own cause and get rich at the worker's expense. They work with the "progressives" in office because they are despicable enough to swindle the people, and they keep their re-election coffers filled. What should we expect? The "progressives" have sold their souls to the unions, as they regularly raise tens of millions of dollars for political campaigns. We see them for what they are: racketeers.

.

Obama has also said:

"I don't think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon."

.

Governor Walker’s office issued this statement:

“I’m sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I’m sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.“Furthermore, I’m sure the President knows that we have repeatedly praised the more than 300,000 government workers who come to work every day in Wisconsin.“I’m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues in Wisconsin, and isn’t acting like the union bosses in saying one thing and doing another.”

.

You'll be glad to know a couple more fine upstanding organizations are also supporting the union protesters along with Barack Hussein Obama:

Socialist Party USA

...are backing the public sector unions. In an article found on their website, written by Omar Mohamad, Socialist Party of South Central Wisconsin and Billy Wharton, co-chair Socialist Party USA they state:

.

The mass protests led by public employees unions in Madison, Wisconsin have been presented by some mainstream commentators as a labor’s last stand. They are not. They are a spark, a spark with the potential to create a new protest movement capable of revitalizing our unions, radicalizing student organizing and creating a space for democratic socialist politics. As socialists, we stand steadfastly in solidarity with this protest movement. We pledge to support the immediate goal of blocking Governor Scott Walker’s reactionary and draconian anti-union legislation and the longer-term project of building a serious left-wing political movement in the US.

Communist Party USA

The Communist Party USA urges the widest possible solidarity with public workers all over our country.

"I think we're focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the president and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budget, which they're a long ways from doing."

- - Governor Scott Walker

.

Representing government employees has turned unions into determined supporters of tax increases and more government spending. They care not, that many states face unfunded liabilities that are simply unsustainable. Taxpayers now pay for unionized government jobs paying notably more, than those available in the private sector. Let's hope the voters will remember how the unions are blackmailing the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

.
"Labor unions would have us believe that they transfer income from rich capitalists to poor workers. In fact, they mostly transfer income from the large number of non-union workers to a small number of relatively well-off union workers."

GOP invokes 1700's doctrine in health care fight

Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states are reaching into the dusty annals of American history to fight Obama's Socialist takeover of our health care system.
They are introducing measures that hinge on "nullification," Thomas Jefferson's late 18th-century doctrine that purported to give states the ultimate say in constitutional matters.
GOP lawmakers introduced such a measure Wednesday in the Idaho House, and Alabama, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, Nebraska, Texas and Wyoming are also talking about the idea.

The 10th Amendment to the US Constitution states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Yet, the Federal Government has expanded its powers well beyond the scope intended by the founding fathers of our country.
How do we stop this unconstitutional expansion of federal power?

Nullification is a legal theory that says states, through their legislative bodies, have the right to nullify or invalidate any federal law deemed unconstitutional by that state. Nullification argues that because the states originally entered the Union as sovereign entities on the terms of a compact, they have the power to nullify any law passed by the federal government they believe is unconstitutional.

In this video, Thomas Woods sets the foundation for the principle of nullification through illustration of Thomas Jefferson's actions in 1798.

U.S. Senate lifts veil on secret bailout funds

By Congressional mandate the Federal Reserve banking cartel was forced to divulge on Dec. 1, 2010, 21,000 lending transactions, that show it disbursed $3.3 trillion from Dec. 1, 2007, to July 21, 2010. It has also been disclosed that numerous institutions and many foreign banks received over $9 trillion off-balance sheet transactions. So $12.3 trillion tax dollars were thrown around in secrecy by unelected bankers… and Congress didn’t know any of the details!?

.

• McDonald’s took $203 million from the Federal Reserve
• Six Minnesota banks received a total $450 million
• Caterpillar took $733 million from the Federal Reserve
• The USA based Verizon Communications took $1.5 billion from the Federal Reserve
• Harley-Davidson received bailout money 33 times, for a total of $2.3 billion
• The amount injected by loans into Utah-based financial institutions was $6.6 billion
• $9.6 billion went to the Central Bank of Mexico
• General Electric Co. needed funding 12 times for a total of $16 billion
• Deutsche Bank got 73 loans totalling about $76 billion
• Barclays pulled in $232 billion via 188 loans
• Goldman Sachs received nearly $600 billion
• Bear Stearns received just under $1 trillion
• Morgan Stanley got $1.9 trillion coming from 212 loans
• Merrill Lynch received $2.1 trillion, spread across 226 loans
• Citigroup got 279 loans totaling $2 trillion

"I think they [the Federal Reserve], prevented a deep recession for the people who deserved it, the big money people... the Goldman Sachs of the world.”

Call Reid's Bluff

Conn Carroll reports that Gallup released a poll this morning showing that the American people dislike this 111th Congress more than any other Congress. Specifically, a full 83% of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job while only 13% approve. That is the worst approval rating in more than 30 years of tracking congressional job performance.

Why do Americans so despise this Congress? The reckless way it spends other people’s money, for starters. One would have thought that after getting “shellacked” at the polls this November, Congress would have gotten the message. No luck. Majority Leader Harry Reid introduced a $1.27 trillion 1,924 page omnibus spending bill last night that contains 6,000 earmarks worth $8 billion. Oh, and all this has to be approved by midnight Saturday or the government shuts down.

By waiting until late yesterday to unveil this 1,924-page monstrosity, Reid is playing a high stakes game of chicken with small government conservatives. Since the FY 2010 budget expired on September 30th, the federal government has been operating on a series of continuing resolutions (CR). The most recent CR expires on midnight Saturday. If the Senate does not pass a bill by then the federal government shuts down. Reid believes that conservatives do not have courage to back up their spending cut convictions. Conservative Senators should call Reid’s bluff.

Here are a few of the wasteful measures included in Harry Reid's disgraceful spending binge:

$247,000 - Virus free grapes in Washington State

$413,000 - Peanut research in Alabama

$125,000 - Fishery equipment for the Guam Fisherman’s Cooperative Association

$349,000 - Swine waste management in North Carolina

$277,000 - Potato pest management in Wisconsin

$246,000 - Bovine tuberculosis treatment in Michigan and Minnesota

$522,000 - Cranberry and blueberry disease and breeding in New Jersey

$500,000 - Oyster safety in Florida

$400,000 - Solar parking canopies and plug-in electric stations in Kansas

$165,000 - Maple syrup research in Vermont

“Governments that are supposed to be of the people and for the people routinely incur debts against the people. Some governments even borrow money to oppress their citizens, and then expect them to pay for their own oppression with interest.”

AUSTRALIA REJECTS GLOBAL WARMING FRAUD

In rejecting its emissions trading system, Australia has fired a shot now being heard round the world.

E-mails have surfaced from the University of East Anglia, exposing leading scientists and scientific institutions profiting by creating and fostering the lie, that global warming is a global crisis.

Lord Monckton, the third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and adviser to Margaret Thatcher’s policy unit in the 1980's said:

• [The news that the world's leading climate science institutions had been collaborating internationally for many years in a systematic and ruthless scientific and financial fraud by which they altered, suppressed, reprocessed, concealed, and conspired to destroy the data on which the world's temperature records are based has come as a wake up call to politicians previously slumbering.
• The first effects are evident in Australia, where the leader of the opposition Liberal Party was removed from office when more than half of his members of Parliament voted against his declared support for an emissions trading scheme which the world now knows to be unneccesary.
• The day after Mr. Turnbull's humiliating, but richly deserved defeat, the upper house of the Australian National Legislature, the Senate, voted decisively to reject the emissions trading scheme.
• No longer will the world's politicians allow themselves to be misled by self-serving scientists and institutions who have been making enormous financial profits at the expense of ordinary working people by fabricating the global warming scare and by then saying that they are the only people who can make that scare go away.
• Politicians worldwide who may previously have thought that there were votes to be gained by joining the global warming conspiracy should be warned first that every opinion poll shows smaller and smaller proportions of the electorate believing in this conspiracy and that the public authorities have already been called in to investigate criminal aspects of the conspiracy.
• Politicians should understand that they will not be immune from indictment themselves if they continue to pretend that global warming is a global crisis when it is now known that the crisis was fabricated by scientists who have proven themselves to be no better than profiteers and racketeers.
• The voters will not tolerate the largest tax increase in the history of human kind in the name of saving a planet which was successfully saved 2,000 years ago and does not need to be saved again.
• Now that the people have been told the truth about a conspiracy to spit on the scientific method and to invent what everyone now knows to be a baseless scare, they will not vote for politicians stupid enough, or crooked enough to speak out in favor of what is simply nonsense.]

Obama's manufacturing czar - Ron Bloom

Just a sample of the czars, Obama has appointed:

• Van Jones: an avowed Communist, the former green jobs czar.
• Anita Dunn: Obama's czar of Homeland Propaganda. She cites Chairman Mao Tse-tung as one of her favorite political philosophers.
• Cass Sunstein: Obama's regulatory czar is an anti-gun progressive activist judge, who believes that citizens’ rights exist only to the extent that they are granted by the government.
• John Holdren: Obama's science czar has advocated coercive population control as far back as the 1970's.
• Ron Bloom: now we have Obama's manufacturing czar citing Mao Tse-tung, and calling the free market, "nonsense."

How can we not conclude, that this regime's goal is to malign the work of our founding fathers, and impose another kind of government entirely, on the citizens of America - completely abolishing our Constitutional Republic.

The entire world will be devastated, if Obama's radical anti-American transformation destroys our country - the last beacon of freedom left on the globe. Obama's compliance with The United Nations Climate Change Summit, to take place this December in Copenhagen, Denmark, will end the sovereignty of the United States of America, forever. We will be controlled by a United Nations global governance, all predicated on the global warming hoax, solely designed to extort tax money from Americans, as they implement a wealth distribution mechanism throughout the planet.

It becomes clearer as the months progress... Obama's aspirations may go well beyond the Oval Office. After transforming the U.S. into a third world country through cap and trade, (in addition to a government-run healthcare system that will bankrupt our country even further), the ultimate goal of this menace, may be to head the United Nations. That will then enable the fascist-in-chief, and his minions, to achieve a progressive, "correct thinking" collective regimentation, on a global scale.

.

This disturbing video shows part of a speech by Ron Bloom, while he was an assistant to the president of the United Steel Workers Union, at the 6th Annual Distressed Investing Forum, Union League Club, NY, on February 27-28, 2008.

At http://www.haltobama.com/2009/10/556/#more-556 Dr. Rick Scarborough said:

[Despite a degree from the Harvard Business School, Bloom apparently believes that the free market is a con game — that it’s not about investors and innovators, entrepreneurs and workers getting together to offer useful goods and services at competitive prices, but a carnival side-show attraction whose objective is to fleece the rubes.
It seems the president believes this too. Every one of his policies seeks to undermine the market, take power away from businesses, transfer income from consumers (via taxation and inflation) and put it all in the hands of unelected and unvetted government bureaucrats – like Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom.
No wonder Mr. Obama has chosen to by-pass the Senate and its constitutional mandate to advise and consent, which would have required open hearings, before such ideologues were given sweeping powers, as have the more than three dozens Czars appointed during his first year in office. This president has built a shadow government, and the more we learn, the more we see that his agenda isn’t “hope and change” but “bait and switch.”]

"We get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money because they're convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults-only, no-limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun."

Grove Parc Olympics

Still living like royalty at taxpayer expense, in her speech in Copenhagen, on September 30, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her "dear friend" Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow's visit by President Obama, is a "sacrifice" on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. They were in Denmark groveling at the alter of the International Olympic Committee, (IOC), to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016.

.

• "As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,"

the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project,

• "so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home."

ABC news reported:
[The White House billed the trip as an "official" journey, so taxpayers picked up the costs for the slightly more than 14-hour round trip on Air Force One. The Defense Department pegs the operating costs for the president's 747 at $100,219 per flight hour. Double it to include the backup plane that always accompanies the president. Add the costs of the Air Force 757 that Mrs. Obama used to fly to Copenhagen earlier in the week. It adds up to nearly $3-million dollars. And that doesn't include the aircraft used to fly the presidential limousines and Secret Service vehicles there as well.]

.

Almost before Obama could get back on Air Force One, Chicago was rejected in the first round. Was it all about celebrating the greatest athletes in the world or was the Obama Olympic push 'political payback' for Chicago cronies?

.

Like Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine and is the Senior Advisor and assistant to the president. Before that, she worked not only as the deputy chief of staff for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, but served as the CEO of Habitat Company, the group that managed the federally subsidized Chicago housing project, Grove Parc Plaza Apartments, located in Barack Obama's state senate district. Federal inspectors have graded the condition of the Grove Parc complex, substandard, as it has been beset with code violations. In other words, at the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality, (11 on a 100-point scale in a 2006, inspection). It was run into the ground under Valerie Jarrett's tenure.

FOX News asked Michelle Malkin her take on Grove Parc Plaza:

• "It sits in the shadow of where the Olympic stadium would be built. And that's not a coincidence."
• "And, look, there is no question that property values would rise and all of these developers would benefit from that. That's why they are lobbying so hard to bring it there in the first place."
• "And all you have to do is look at how these economic development boondoggles have worked in other cities. They will use eminent domain to clear all of this land, push poor people out, and build these sports palaces that will be empty after the Olympics. That's how it always works."
