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!"

Subject: [blind-democracy] “Joe Biden’s Support of the Hyde Amendment Makes
Him Unfit to Lead”
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.
