Solidarity with workers around the world who are the backbone of their nations. No workers, no profit. No profit, no capitalists. Be proud! The struggle for fair wages, benefits and hours is a noble one. Never give up!

Remember the actionresourcefund

Our support must take many forms.
That was well put PS
Solidarity
~Odin~
Just don't expect him to actually support unions.
He doesn't.
He want's them dismantled, and supports "right to work".
.
Until and if that all happens, we need unions now, more than at any time since they formed.
We can agree on this
~Odin~
Somebody didn't like us agreeing on something.
I can only return one twinkle......:)
I have been adamant in this belief all along.
To get where we want to go, we need to start accepting and taking care of what is happening now.
I've called several times, for an end to "right to work" legislation.
It limits existing unions and is extremely effective in impeding and severely limiting emerging unions.
Severely undermines the rights of ALL workers - Union or otherwise.
Yes, increasing unionization really is a rising tide that floats all boats.......:)
It always did.
Workers rights didn't just materialize out of thin air.
I'm surprised
~Odin~
You shouldn't be.
I had no idea of his past comments, and just complimented him on that comment
How anyone can consider himself an OWS supporter, and not support unions is beyond me as it is inconsistent with what OWS is about
~Odin~
I guess you spend far too much time chasing one certain poster around.
Just ask PS what he would do about union busting.
I have.
He likes the idea, and defends it.
I don't take directions from anyone here
I have replied to some really vicious right-wing bullshit in letters-to-the-editor long before I came here, and I will continue to do so on this forum
But the threat to our struggle is not only from the right wing wackos. It is also from the left wing democrats who want this to become another partisan battle

It always was and always will be a partisan battle.
It can be nothing else. To be non-partisan, is to be apathetic.
To make this a 'partisan battle' will ensure our defeat
Again, our struggle is about right vs wrong, not left/dem vs right/repub
The dems & repubs have abandoned us a long time ago
~Odin~
Are you saying you're apathetic?
No, I am not saying that i am "apathetic" at all, nor am i in reality
Are you saying that you believe that we can 'throw out the elite bums' who have so much to lose, by following the same modus operandi that got us to this point
~Odin~
Maybe, maybe not.
What I know for sure, is that no one is going to flip a switch and suddenly instal a new system.
That's not going happen.
In fact, I believe it's the belief in waiting for that, that IS the modus operandi they've used all along, to bring us to this point.
But, back on topic. Everyone here is partisan, or they wouldn't be here.
Look it up.
DK posted it once, after a concerted effort to demonize the term.
You are either partisan, or you are apathetic.
That's just how it works.
PS, as far as ignoring the system, or pretending there is no difference?
It appears, that's mostly on you.

Yes, you did just play the semantics game.
I would have to believe it was done as a distraction, while ignoring the info in the link.
A link from OWS I might add.....
A link that doesn't pretend to ignore politics, nor topical political subject matter.
Like I've told you before, It's your own fear that manifests itself as a refusal to admit the political intent of what's happening all around you, while you pretend to be non-partisan.
You are not..
No I did not play the "semantecs" game. Instead I gave you a much needed education on the way that words can be used
Your link, Occupy The NRA does nothing to make this a partisan battle
Any group, and i am sure there are some, that uses the cover of Occupy to promote a partisan agenda is just 'USING' Occupy
As it is not only antithetical to the principles of Occupy, but it is harmful to our struggle
I am amused at your frequent use of the word "fear" in descibing me, and no matter how many times you say it, it does not make it so
I mean 'FEAR'...over this, you gotta be fu..ing kidding me man..lol
I think that you should have gotten out more when you were younger shooz.., and had a few more life experiences...really...lol
~Odin~
You are so right Odin. At each other's throats, divided and bickering, is where they want us to be, isn't it?
Sighhhh. It has gotten tiring beyond belief trying to convey this message.
If we could convince people to replace the words democrat and republican with 'politicians' or even 'representatives', we could knock out the 'left/right paradigm' and actually focus on the far greater and more serious strategies.
I don't know if even 'you' caught your last 'double entendre', Odin. I can't even repeat it due to the possible double meaning of one little word. But trust me, mon chere, your 'double entendre' needs no adjustment. It is...perfection. ~.^
[Removed]
[Removed]
Thanks Renny. it's not only the "bickering" that goes on here as to whether we should team with the dems or not that is harmful, but
It is also the 'divisions' that will be reignited by making our struggle a partisan one, as people that we need will be reluctant to concede that they have been mislead by a right-wing agenda, as no one likes to admit that they were wrong, and were duped
The fact is, there are many good moderate republicans that were lead astray, and either they or their loved ones have been hurt by the neoliberal, propagandist, 'sweet-talk' agenda
These people are 'reachable,' and we need them, but once again, you are not going to get them to our side by reviving old political hatreds where everyone digs in to the intransigeant stance that has been propagated and encouraged by both parties, and often at the behest of the lobbyists
And i am talking from experience, as i have argued the raison de' etre of Occupy both ways & many times....1st from a left vs right angle, and then from a right vs wrong one
The former is useless....the latter way is disarming for the person you are trying to reach
When you begin your spiel with a potential convert by saying something like, 'Both parties answer to corporate and banking interests, not ours',... it sets the tone for a civil conversation, and while you may not convince that person, you have planted the 'seeds'
And most often, all you have to do is give them the facts, trends (downward), and logic. Those tactics are much like what Spain's co-operatively owned La Marea magazine does, and they should be emulated by us
Ah ma cherie while i may feign ignorance to as what you are talking about, i suspect that you know better. ;-) Keep in mind though that while my spelling has gone down-hill.... some of my other attributes have been 'peaking'....errr as witnessed by my thoughtful comments ...of course... ~.^

Unions are and have been very much an OWS issue.
And they remain so to this day.
You're welcome for the kick. You had it coming.
Would you like to solve the problem of union busting now, please?
Please provide a comment on what was done to the unions of the USPS.
[Deleted]
aww, such a cute insult.
You're just afraid to say just how anti-union you are.
See ya around.
[Deleted]
And that would be a problem for you in what way?
WallStreet does it whenever they fuck things up.
Unions could negate that behavior.
Plus, they represent actual workers.
Now stop playing and get real.
shut off Limbaugh.
Don't forget the evaporation of worker safety and the gutting of an individual, or group's, ability to sue for compensation.
http://www.politicususa.com/republicans-created-world-work-killed.html
Yes. And don't also forget the success of Corporate America to monitize such things as public education, student loans. And how about the for-profit prisons, whose shareholders depend on "customers." Which is why America leads the world in citizens in prison, both on raw numbers, per capita, and other metrics.
ALEC!
All of these things are the province of ALEC.
It's why I rail against them constantly, they are at the heart of almost everything happening in the US, and increasingly the World, that we consider "evil".
We have years of hard work ahead of us
-I believe OWS and Zucotti Park movement scared the crap out of the 1% and they shut down the Park. I saw. I was there.
But the IDEA is still here. The 1% is screwing the 99%. Look at the data. Shrinking tax rates for the top 1%. Elimination and/or reduction of "Death Taxes" for the 1%. The only place people are becoming more well off is . . . you guessed it. The 1%.
Meanwhile, people get sick and go to bankruptcy court in growing numbers.
Our education system is geared to the well heeled.
Students are carrying monstrous student loans, but finding no jobs worthy of their educational investment.
We are eating America's seed corn. China and other emerging nations will be the new leaders if America continues to discard vast numbers of young people. So much potential.
But you still got tax dodges for the Mitt Romney's of the world. His kids have hundred-million dollar trust funds, and he's got a hundred million dollar IRA thanks to tax loopholes.
WE -- AMerica -- Needs a MILLION Man, Woman, Child March on Washington DC. And if they don't get it. We do another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another.
I remember when they let us back into Zucotti . But the park is over, we are fighting for important issues, influencing many groups with millions of people, and driving the national dialogue.

In Compliment :
It's time to say "No Keystone XL!"
This May the Center for Biological Diversity is hosting a whole month of action to stop this disastrous tar-sands pipeline from going forward. We're asking people around the country to make their voices heard -- and we need your help.
We started with our Keystone pledge to mobilize against the destructive pipeline, and more than 24,000 people have already signed. This first step gets you linked into our campaign to halt Keystone XL -- because we have to do more than sign petitions and submit comments (though those are important too). Will you sign our pledge?
Now we're launching a whole month of action. We're going to pack May with actions large and small to take this fight to the streets across the country and raise awareness about the dirty truth about Keystone -- from posting a sign in your yard to organizing a gathering at your school, park or local governmnet's offices to spread the word and say "No Keystone XL." The Center will stand by you each step of the way to make that happen.
Sign up now to join our May month of action to stop Keystone.

It will create on land what BP created in the Gulf of Mexico.
Still think that spill is over? It's not.
What's over is BP's responsibility.
Even CNN gets it.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/27/us/gulf-disaster-fishing-industry/index.html?hpt=hp_c3
Yep all of that crude 90% still there in the Gulf - with the added joy of toxic dispersal chemicals used to hide the crude from casual observation.
People - do you really want to be eating food fished out of the Gulf?
People - do you really want to swim in the toxins of the spill and the added toxins of the sham clean-up?
People - consider - the more pollution that goes into our water land and air - is more disease sickness and death injected into the general population.

Signed. LOL. good luck man. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
Wages are way down while productivity is up. "US Workers Endure Lost Decade of Declining Wages." All this while corporate profits are at an all time high. Solidarity with workers everywhere on May Day!

The 99% may need a break, BUT it ain't gonna happen until Washington DC politics, lobbying and campaign finance changes. Period.
Right now, Republicans in Congress Kow Tow to the extreme right.
In recent years, the Republican policy has been "we are against whatever the Democrats are for"
Unfortunately, this strategy will not allow the party in office to move forward. Will not allow citizens to move forward.
America is stuck. Meanwhile, the emerging nations around the world are moving forward, and our children will pay the price.

Zuccotti Park issues are still -- worse. The time is now to act.

In compliment for MayDay: (in my neighborhood )
Incredible news -- even with an April snowstorm on the way, hundreds of Minnesotans from across the state made it to the State Capitol on Earth Day to support clean energy and jobs!1
Thanks to thousands of messages from Sierra Club supporters and hundreds joining the Clean Energy & Jobs Day of Action at the Capitol, our state legislators are hearing that Minnesotans care about clean energy. But our work is not done -- this legislation still faces critical votes as soon as next week!
We still haven't heard from you. Send a message to your legislators today asking them to support clean energy & jobs!
We have an opportunity to strengthen the state's renewable energy standard to 40 percent by 2030; make Minnesota a leader in solar energy by enacting a solar energy standard; and save consumers money by improving energy efficiency and making it easier to generate local power.
These policies will take Minnesota further down the road to a clean energy future that provides good jobs and protects the environment for generations to come. But we need your help.
Let your legislators know that you want to see a clean energy future for Minnesota.
At Monday's rally, Governor Dayton told the crowd, "We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our children, and we owe it to our grandchildren to look for ecologically sustainable, environmentally renewable sources of energy, and if we put our ingenuity together we'll find it."
The time for action is now -- tell your legislators to support solar, wind, and energy efficiency.
Thanks for all you do to protect the environment,
Jessica Tritsch Minnesota Beyond Coal Campaign Sierra Club
P.S. After you take action, be sure to forward this alert to your friends and colleagues!
Sources: 1. Earth Day brings renewable energy push at State Capitol, KARE 11, April 22, 2013.
Is The Sierra Club active in your state ?
BTW - what I added to the letter:
We need to implement clean green power generation - ASAP - for our health - individual health - environmental health - economic health.
What is happening in your neighborhood this month?
In mine there is a call for support:
Email your State Legislator today! Take Action
Thanks to your continued support and grassroots action, the Minnesota Energy Jobs Act of 2013 is moving forward at the Minnesota Legislature. Just yesterday the bill passed out of two critical committees in the House and Senate.
It is critical that these bills pass off the House and Senate floor in the next week. Only then will the House and Senate negotiate a compromise bill to present to Governor Dayton for signature. We need you to write to your legislators to ask them to support these clean energy initiatives. These bills need to get across the finish line and your support has been critical in getting the Energy Jobs Act this far. But we are not done yet. It is essential that the Clean Energy Jobs Act moves off the House and Senate floors.
The Minnesota House version of this bill H.F. 956, authored by Rep. Melissa Hortman, will likely be up on the House Floor early next week - possibly as early as Tuesday, May 7th. The House bill includes an important proposal to expand the state’s renewable energy standard (RES) to 40% by 2030. This bill also includes important new clean energy requirements to create a solar standard and expand the use of distributed generation throughout Minnesota.
The Senate omnibus energy bill, S.F. 901, authored by Sen. John Marty, includes a proposal to conduct a 40% by 2030 RES transmission and integration study. This study helps lay the foundation for the expanded renewable energy standard. The Senate bill also includes a smaller solar standard of 1% by 2025 and important changes to encourage and increase distributed generation.
Please contact your state elected officials today to ensure they get the message of support before these bills are up on the House and Senate Floor. Start by filling out the form below. We have created a template email for you, but encourage you to personalize it, as your unique words will have a more lasting impact on your legislator.
Thank you again for your continued support and activism on this issue. Your letters and emails have made the difference.
Sincerely,
Susan Williams Sloan Director, State Relations AWEA
You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to receive Advocacy Alerts from Power of Wind, a project of the American Wind Energy Association.
My best wishes to all workers of the world--in fact everybody has to be a worker for the substantial portion of ones life.Concept of profit does not suit the twenty century civilization.
