The Petition at Change.org is live and we need your signatures. Building # 4 isn't shoring itself up and those fuel rods will be the death of us if they aren't cared for and handled by an Agency that has the expertise to diffuse this difficult situation in a relatively quick, professional manner. You can sign the petition at this LINK! Make your mark on Washington today and urge your friends to do the same.

It is time for everyone to get on board and sign the petition to the United Nations Security Council to get some help with the danger that Japan is presenting to the entire global community.

It's no wonder congress has been polling so low. Since the internet was invented, Americans are starting to find out just how congress really works…did congress actually have to pass a (watered-down) law forbidding them to conduct insider trading on the stock market? Members of congress (as well at state legislatures, governors, etc.) are already above the law on almost everything else as it is now. They certainly don't lead by example, so why are they called our "leaders"…

The reality is that many of our elected officials no longer believe they are answerable to the people; that the Constitution is merely an outdated piece of paper; and that we the people are largely simpletons whom they mock with their political spin and tales – their smug demeanor evident all the way to the bank. And sadder still is that we mostly prove them correct as we habitually fall along our divisive party lines. Mitch Gurney

The viewer exodus is not limited to CNN, though. Roger Ailes' aging heavyweight champion FOX News "was not immune to a loss in viewership for the month of March and for the first quarter of 2012. For the month, Fox News is down -17%," according to another post by Ariens. Perhaps, if I may be so bold, this is what happens to you when you continue to report stories that no longer resemble -- even remotely -- what your own viewers see outside their windows and apartments.

It seems that our government has drastically expanded its definition of Domestic Terrorism to include some of the most common practices that millions of Americans engage in on an everyday basis. This is tyranny and subversion of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and all of us should be righteously outraged at the government's meddling in our personal lives.

To state that the Citizens United ruling by our corrupt U.S. Supreme Court is a tragic and forceful effort to subvert democracy is an understatement, and while SCOTUS may believe they are within their "legal" boundaries for making a decision that defies logic and perhaps the Constitution itself - common sense and logic belies their decision and in this writer's opinion, has set-up the United States Supreme Court for legal action that could topple their own fascist/corporation-over-people ruling.

Obama delivered a powerful speech this past week in Osawatomie, Kansas…his speech was powerful, insightful and perfectly polished for the times. Much of what he said he has said before. What he told us is what many of us already know but expect Washington to fix…But are words enough? Words can serve to inspire and build hope. But words without action are meaningless…Has Obama lived up to his words or caved to powerful interest?

It was just a few years ago that I constantly referred to George W. Bush as “The Commander In Thief” because of his constant “theft” of American democratic principles and processes.  Today, it was sad to learn that President Barack Obama is either a “Manchurian Candidate” or a rank coward that placed his own life ...
