What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

A question for Bemidji City Planner Rita Albrecht...

Rita Albrecht;

I understand through hearing things through the grapevine that you are not happy with me referring to you as a racist bigot.

If you are not a racist bigot, could you explain: why, in your capacity employed as a public official as the Bemidji City Planner working on the Bemidji Regional Event Center (BREC), you never brought out Bemidji's "Affirmative Action Policies" for hiring on public works projects?

Why was Kraus-Anderson told they did not have to implement affirmative action policies in hiring at the BREC?

Why has VenuWorks refused to state they will abide by Bemidji's affirmative action policies in staffing and maintaining the BREC?

Instead of answering these questions you go around calling me names.

Why don't you answer these questions on your blog?

Because of your racism, Bemidji now has the title of the most racist city in North America... this should fit in well with it's tourism industry.
