Will
Democratic Party support lead to the same results as in Wisconsin, or
will activists continue to expand these demonstrations until their
demands are met as should have been done in Wisconsin?
Obama
and the Democrats by increasing spending on militarism and wars have
forced the states to cut funding for human needs but the Republicans in
North Carolina were only too happy to "go the extra mile."
We have a problem in this country as working people with both the Democrats and Republicans.
And our main problem is with this insanity of militarism and
imperialist war after imperialist war that is like taking the wealth of
the Nation and dumping it into the deepest depths of the ocean for all
the good it does.
Democrats in North Carolina very cleverly
worded their "support" for these demonstrations by saying they would
"try" to reverse what the Republicans are doing because they know full
well without federal dollars they can't reverse what the Republicans
have done.
In fact, their Democratic colleagues in the United
States Senate just joined the Republicans to vote down restoring the
cuts to the Food Stamp program because they need this money to fight
Wall Street's dirty wars.
So, with the Democratic Party from
one county in North Carolina "backing" these demonstrations are people
going to go from protest mode to working to elect a bunch of mostly
worthless Democrats in North Carolina the majority of whom are no better
than Republicans?
Working people were tricked and deceived
with similar bait set out to keep them trapped in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Perhaps the South Carolina AFL-CIO
should get involved in North Carolina and bring along their suggestion
that we need a labor party--- not the Democrats or Republicans--- in
this country?
By the way, when will the entire contingent of
the Democrats in the North Carolina State Legislature turn out to get
arrested? After all, they expect people to turn out to the polls to
deliver the votes--- shouldn't they be thinking of campaigning for those
votes among the people going to jail?
Democrats asking people to vote for Democrats is not what I would call supporting these Moral Monday demonstrations.
And where is the National NAACP in all of this? Why aren't we seeing
every single chapter of the NAACP organizing busloads of people to head
to North Carolina with more protests being organized all over this
country where racist Republicans and racist Democrats are sticking it to
working people?
Here in Minnesota over two-billion dollars in
public works jobs is being allocated--- including federal funds--- in
two projects and we have a Democratic super majority where the
Republicans have no say about anything and Affirmative Action is not
being enforced--- thus assuring the continuing rapid growth of poverty
in communities of people of color. This is criminal. The law of the
land--- Affirmative Action--- is not being enforced and to add insult to
injury it is intentionally being evaded by these Democrats who refused
to raise the minimum wage, which is a dollar an hour higher in North
Carolina!
It is through protests like these being expanded all
over the country that people can put an end to all these cuts that are
hurting the poorest people the most as this rotten government of both
Democrats and Republicans squanders the wealth created by workers on
militarism and these dirty wars.
Instead of funding community
health care centers our taxes go to fund over 800 U.S. military bases
dotting the globe protecting Wall Street's access to cheap resources and
cheap labor.
The dots needs to be connected; the struggles intensified--- from coast to coast.
