Jesse James? or maybe Jesse Jackson!
Whatever, the thing that bothers me is how Americans have come to a
place where the Media can lead them around by the nose. We should not
be preparing for a contest between Uncle Joe, the nice guy versus Bad
Boy Donald. When I think that we have some 15 months until primary
elections, and all we'll hear are fluffy distractions or smart mouth
quips, I shudder.
Of course the Mass Media will profit during the coming months, but
really, what a sad waste of our time.

I'm sorry to see the Super Democrats and the DNC pushing Joe Biden.
He is being repackaged as Uncle Joe, carrying his lunch bucket and shaking
the hands of a construction worker. But under all the makeup, he is still
the guy who sat by quietly watching as Barack Obama increased pressure on
immigrants and attacks on journalists and the murder of countless innocent
men, women and children in "far off"
lands that " threatened our freedom". And we are reminded that he is also
in favor of government meddling in women's personal lives, determining for
them how they may care for their health needs.
We need a strong, outspoken candidate who will point out the rape and
plunder that is going on under the shadow of Donald Trump's Tom Foolery.
The courts, already the strong buffer for protecting the freedom of the
Ruling Class, are now far toward the conservative side. A warning should be
posted above each court building in the country saying, "Working Class,
Beware!"

Food for thought.

When the news broke yesterday, even many of Joe Biden’s supporters
voiced alarm. The New York Times reported that his campaign had
confirmed Biden supports the Hyde Amendment, “a measure that prohibits
the use of federal funds for abortion” -- with the only exceptions
being “cases involving rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in
danger.”
The Hyde Amendment “disproportionately affects economically
disadvantaged women and women of color,” the Times noted. Ilyse Hogue,
president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, “said Mr. Biden’s stance would
be disqualifying for an endorsement during the primary.” She declared:
“We would never support someone who supported Hyde, period.”
Biden has doubled down on favoring extremely discriminatory policies
-- depriving low-income women of their rights to reproductive choice.
Unfortunately, despite his “Lunch Bucket Joe” image, Biden has often
backed policies unfair to people without economic privilege. But we’re
not getting much accurate information about his record from corporate
media.
That’s why RootsAction is now launching the Biden Fact Squad.
Here are two important ways you can help get the Biden Fact Squad off
to a strong start.
** Click here and contribute what you can to support the launch of
the Biden Fact Squad nationwide.
** Share via social media the contents of a RootsAction flier that
had major impact at last weekend’s California Democratic Party
convention. You can do that by clicking on “ Joe Biden: Facts .”
Last weekend, we helped change the narrative at the gathering of
California Democrats. As the Washington Post reported: “Anyone who
spent more than 10 minutes at the convention was handed a two-sided
document from the group RootsAction.”
Bloomberg News explained that our organization had distributed fliers
“featuring quotes in which Biden praised Vice President Mike Pence and
defended billionaires.”
Bloomberg also reported that “anti-Biden sentiment was palpable
throughout the convention, where delegates expressed frustration with
both his candidacy and his absence” -- and RootsAction “even
distributed fliers that featured quotes from Biden and criticisms of his
record.”
What we did in California last weekend needs to happen elsewhere
around the country. With your help, RootsAction’s new Biden Fact Squad
can have a big impact.
Your help now can
make a real difference
as the Biden Fact Squad gets rolling!
Corporate power and corporate media have elevated Joe Biden to
frontrunner status. But if we organize effectively, we can clear the
path for a progressive Democratic ticket that can defeat Donald Trump
and help transform our country.
