Tell Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to seek justice for Rodney Reed.

Will Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do what is right in the case of Rodney Reed?

The Federal government has a very special role to carry out in the case of Rodney Reed. For over two decades the Federal government has shirked its role of investigating one of the worst crimes involving a person’s violation of their civil rights... and human rights, a role for the United States Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division.

Let us not have to wait for an investigation like the United States government usually is accustomed to doing... investigating once someone is dead.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should immediately dispatch federal attorneys and investigators with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to Texas to see who is responsible for the racist frame-up of Rodney Reed. 

All those found to be responsible and complicit in this crime must be arrested and prosecuted.

Rodney Reed must be exonerated, set free and he and his family must be adequately compensated for this grave injustice perpetrated against them.

The real murderer of Stacey Stites, Jimmy Fennell, must be arrested, and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Contrary to all excuses made to the present time, the federal government has a very special, important and primary role to play in seeing to it that Rodney Reed is set free and all those who orchestrated this frame-up prosecuted to the full extent of the federal laws.

Texas authorities can not be relied on to deliver justice in this case because those who would be required to free Rodney Reed have all been complicit in knowingly and intentionally framing Rodney Reed in the first place.

How Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will  respond to this injustice once they are sworn into office will tell us everything we need to know about them.

The Nation’s sense of morality must be focused on Texas in the same way moral outrage focused the Nation’s attention on the murder of George Floyd.

In the case of George Floyd, he was murdered; no amount of justified outrage could ever bring him back. 

In this case of Rodney Reed, we can stop the racist criminals occupying the seats of power here in Texas who are intent on executing an innocent man in order to cover up their own most horrible and horrendous racist crimes maliciously carried out in a very vindictive frame-up that has placed Rodney Reed on death row.

Executing Rodney Reed, an innocent victim of a racist frame-up, would be murder.

Tell Joe Biden and Kamala Harris justice in the Rodney Reed case requires:

Exoneration.

Freedom.

Just compensation to Rodney Reed and the Reed family.

Prosecution of all the real criminals.

We must remember the present day criminal justice system in Texas is predicated and created on the cultural, systemic and institutionalized racism originally established by those who violently ended Reconstruction through terror, mayhem and murder who then claimed, in order to cover up their criminal deeds, they were never informed that slavery had ended... and only under pressure from the Federal government did those in power finally abolish slavery in Texas some two years after Lincoln had abolished it... the claim of these racist defenders of slavery was that they had not received word that slavery had been abolished throughout the land... and the present day governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, who was personally involved in orchestrating and carrying out this racist frame-up of Rodney Reed still clings to this as being “historical fact.”

Does any thinking person believe Texas politicians were unaware-for two long years- slavery had been abolished after their beloved Confederacy had been defeated in a bloody Civil War?

It is up to Joe Biden to see to it that Texas Governor Greg Abbott is escorted from the Governor’s Mansion to a prison cell.

As the New York Times’ “1619 Project” has pointed out, the racist injustices in the Southern criminal justice system are directly linked and tied to the institutions of slavery and no place is this more apparent then in the case of Rodney Reed here in Texas.

One wonders how it is that ABC News in its “20/20” special broadcast, “Stacey Stites: The Girl in the Pines” could have over-looked all of this... along with so much scientific and medical evidence?

Was this ABC episode, devoid of most of the pertinent facts of the case, intended to provide Biden and Harris an opportunity for an out to do nothing?

The Innocence Project has laid bare all the facts, and all the concocted lies, in the Rodney Reed case... it is all a matter of public record for all to see. 

We must not allow this racist injustice to be chalked up to the incompetence of bungling cops, prosecutors, judges and public officials, either. It’s clearly a racist frame-up with the real murdering rapist monster still free... something anyone with a daughter, sister or mother might want to think about. 

Bill de Blasio stirs controversy every time he talks about "redistribution of wealth;" what's the controversy about?

 Every time New York Mayor Bill de Blasio talks about the need to redistribute wealth the Wall Street millionaires and billionaires have conniption fits.

De Blasio correctly points out the way to eliminate racist inequality and poverty is to adequately fund universal social programs.

We Marxists support such initiatives.

De Blasio faces as much opposition from his fellow Democrats as he gets from Republicans.

De Blasio seeks action while his fellow Democrats seek to undermine him with platitudes they refuse to act on.

Democrats have a legacy that is easily substantiated of doing too little too late as millions suffer... the Biden-Harris Administration is obviously intending on following this legacy; if this were not the case, they would be filling their Administration with people like Bill de Blasio instead of a bunch of worthless hacks chosen for them by Wall Street committed to a reactionary neoliberal agenda of carrying out wars abroad paid for by shoving austerity measures down the throats of working people both of which further enrich the filthy rich few while creating greater poverty.

We need many big universal social programs paid for by taxing the hell out of the wealthy few who have been exploiting our labor and a huge peace dividend if we are going to contend with the very serious problems now confronting us.

Capitalism is in serious crisis on the skids to oblivion and these Wall Street parasites think the way out of the crisis is to intensify the exploitation of the working class.

De Blasio obviously has much in common with Marxists while Biden and Harris are opponents of socialism and oppose the thinking that we need the redistribution of wealth.

Redistribution of wealth is what the struggles for reforms are all about and we should welcome Bill de Blasio in joining our call for wealth redistribution.

It’s rather ironic those on the “left” who attack de Blasio are too cowardly to talk about the need for wealth redistribution as Bill de Blasio does.

The racist fallacy of a "white working class." Unite our multi-racial working class in the struggles against racism and for peace, reforms and socialism.

 Why do so many so-called “leftists” continue falling into, and putting up with, the racist trap of referring to “the white working class?”

We don’t have a “white working class” in this country... we never have and never will.

There is one working class in this country and our working class is multi-racial.

The Nation Magazine and other such publications which restrict the views they publish to well-heeled upper middle class intellectuals while censoring the voices of rank-and-file working class activists  routinely buys into this racist fallacy of there being a “white working class.”

In a recent “debate” over whether or not we need a new party in this country, The Nation allowed this racist phrase of “white working class” to be used by the proponent of the Democratic Party serving us well.

I don’t know of one single worker who would use the phrase “white working class.”

The phrase is a racist concoction used by those who are consciously trying to divide our multi-racial working class and we shouldn’t tolerate this racism.

The Nation Magazines “debate” was headlined, “Should the Left Launch an American Labor Party?”

In fact, it will take many more people than a little left to launch a new party.

And the new party will have to be a working class based people’s party that is both anti-monopoly and anti-imperialist not afraid to challenge Wall Street for political and economic power.

The same writer who thinks the Democratic Party serves us well, in addition to using this racist “white working class” bullshit declared as if it was fact that no alternative part, except the Republican Party, has ever been successful in this country... intentionally not mentioning the fact that the socialist Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party had a very high degree of success.

The Nation Magazine won’t even tolerate rebuttal in a letter to the editor.

Rank-and-file working class activists have no voice through any media in this country.

For a National Public Health Care System

 Tommy Douglas warned the Canadian people that its single-payer health care system should only be seen as a very short-term solution and a not-for-profit socialized health care system would be required for the long haul.

The Canadian people procrastinated in heeding Tommy Douglas’ advice and now the pandemic is becoming over-bearing as this article explains.

This should be a lesson to us here as we contemplate health care reform.

Obviously Obamacare has failed under the burden of this catastrophic coronavirus pandemic.

Medicare for All will fare no better.

The profit motive for health care must be completely eliminated at all levels... including the delivery stage.

Only a fully socialized National Public Health Care System can provide the kind of quality health care required...

Publicly funded.

Publicly administered.

Publicly delivered.

Nothing at all controversial in spite of being socialized health care... public education serves as the model. Is anyone afraid of public education? No. So, why should anyone oppose a National Public Health Care System which would provide us all free world-class health care? The cost would be phenomenally cheap... it could all be financed from the current pay-roll tax which funds Medicare... far cheaper than what passes for health care now and a lot cheaper than Medicare for All.

Those from insurance companies to hospitals and nursing homes and doctors will all decry socialized health care... 

But their free-market for-profit health care systems are killing us.

We need a national network of community-based health centers in every community providing general health care and this health care must include pharmaceutical prescriptions, vision, dental and hearing along with family planning, pre-natal and abortion as well as mental health care... free health care through burial.

A National Public Health Care System would create over twelve-million new jobs... there is no better job creating program that would do much good.

We must struggle for the health care required not waste our time with what is politically expedient for selfish, self-serving Wall Street bribed politicians.

We need a new working class based people’s party with the integrity and courage to fight for a National Public Health Care System.

An interesting article by Walden Bello

 This is an interesting article written by the Philippine anti-globalization activist Walden Bello who was a long-time member of the ultra-leftist Philippine Communist Party.

There are two Communist parties in the Philippines... I support the PKP - 1930: http://www.pkp-1930.com

Bello has provided some important insight into what is going on right now concerning attacks on democracy here in the United States; this is a worthwhile read considering, in my opinion, that Bello continues to fall into the anti-working class trap of the New Left with his references to there being a “white working class” when in fact there is one multi-racial working class and his description of China being “authoritarian.” 

Bello has had many twists and turns in his own thinking but seems often not to appreciate the twists and turns involved as the Chinese people have struggled to build socialism in a very complex world in a very hostile environment dominated by Wall Street imperialist dictate.

Bello also misses the fact that Xi Jinping is leading the country in a study of “The Communist Manifesto” as a major part of the effort to get China on a firm socialist footing. 

Nor does Bello mention the importance of China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) contributing to world peace and ending some of the worst poverty in the world.

But, for a non-Marxist left wing scholarly intellectual lacking ties to the working class, Bello does a pretty good job here:

https://fpif.org/america-has-entered-the-weimar-era/

I would encourage using this article for discussion in developing our strategy in defense of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and democracy.

Voter fraud or a corrupt and anti-democratic electoral system?

 An evaluation or investigation into electoral fraud needs to begin with a class analysis of our electoral system which is passed off as being superior to socialist countries where the working class rules through its one Communist Party or other parties friendly to the working class.

Now, here in this country one class rules, too. 

This Wall Street ruling class uses two parties to maintain its dominance and rule over the working class to assure the capitalist system, a system based on exploitation of working people through capitalist ownership of the mines, mills, factories, banks (yes, the Internet and all media, too) along with the transportation and energy sectors.

How do you have “fair elections” when big money interests dominate the politics of the country?

That big money comes from very wealthy capitalists... we create their wealth and they use a lot of this wealth to dominate us working people who create this wealth for them.

And their two parties make the rules preventing a working class party from participating in this scheme of things passed off to us, and the rest of the world, as the world’s greatest bastion of democracy.

There is no voter fraud.

The corruption that does take place is capitalists cheating one another in the electoral process the same way they cheat one another in the market-place (yes, these capitalists love to talk about their “free-market” and “free elections,” don’t they...but, the problem is, huge powerful monopolies don’t really tolerate much freedom when it comes to either, do they?).

Both Wall Street parties hire “hacks” to run their parties just like they hire the management class to hire and fire and extract the greatest profits from our labor.

More often than not, we see the same management people we see at work manipulating both parties, too.

And, the party hacks and labor management people use the same methods employing racism and anti-Communism in the workplace and in the electoral arena to keep us divided so we are easier to rule as we are being exploited.

Anyone who delves into the way this rotten system works can easily see how three things comprise the formula for the glue that holds this system together:

Corruption.

Racism.

Anti-Communism.

Remove any one of these components integral to the capitalist system and the entire system collapses...

If it doesn’t collapse from its own boom and bust cycle first like the cars on a roller coaster ride leaving the track... as the stock market is about to do.

And then when one begins to analyze the highest stage of capitalism we are in, imperialism with its militarism and wars...

Well, you get the idea...

The Wall Street ruling class doesn’t want us to examine its system... 

And that is why Wall Street defends its two-party trap as the next best thing to sliced white bread.

The Wall Street ruling class would like it best if we not discuss capitalist class power versus working class power...

These Wall Street monopolists will not tolerate such discussion in the workplace or in the electoral arena.

This should give us a good idea what our employers mean by “democracy.” 

It’s really democracy for the few.

Arrest all the fascist conspirators and thugs.

 Let’s say we agree (and I don’t agree) that the President can’t be arrested for inciting this riot and insurrection in our Nation’s Capitol...

Okay...

But why haven’t Donald Trump, Jr. and Rudy Giuliani been arrested for their role in inciting this fascist riot and insurrection?

Why has no one been arrested for plotting this fascist riot and insurrection?

Does anyone believe this was spontaneity we witnessed? Of course not. It was all carefully organized and plotted.

And the real irony is that the FBI admits they know all fifty states are being targeted... 

Well, the question just begging to be asked is that: if they know, why haven’t the culprits planning this been arrested?

National Security

 The “security of our country” is in the hands of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies who haven’t even been able to find and arrest the guy carrying a huge Confederate flag into our Nation’s Capitol leading the charge of these fascist thugs.

How secure do you feel?

Come on, really; how is it these law enforcement agencies are taking so long to apprehend and arrest this guy?

Trillions of dollars and the enactment of the most undemocratic and Draconian laws we are told will protect us and these law enforcement agencies can’t protect us from fascist thugs in our midst?

Does anyone really believe the FBI needs our help identifying these fascist thugs after all the time and money they have wasted watching people like me and you whose major “crime” is that we write letters to the editors for peace, against racism and for social and economic justice- this police spying and harassment has been going on over many decades?

How is it that out of the thousands of fascist thugs responsible for murder and mayhem inside our Nation’s Capitol, so few have been arrested?

How is it Trump, his son, Ted Cruz and Rudy Giuliani have managed to escape being arrested for inciting this fascist rioting and insurrection?

Elliott Abrams should be first to be given the boot by Biden.

I wonder if Biden intends to get rid of the odious warmongering liar Elliott Abrams since all the Bush backers who supported Biden are urging him to keep Abrams on?

Abrams has to go. 

Is the worst of this mess behind us?

Those who would have us believe the worst is behind us make a big mistake...

Or, they are intentionally trying to mislead us.

Where will we find solutions to our problems?

 I think the solutions to our problems will be found in more working people beginning- daring- to think out loud.

We simply can’t afford to allow the employer class to continue doing our thinking for us... their “thinking” is what got us into this mess.

Fortune and Fame will get you elected to public office

 Something you may want to mull over while the politicians are deciding what’s good for you...

“Democracy” is a word that gets bandied about in a very superficial and bastardized manner in this country by very well paid politicians, pundits and professors alike when it comes to politics.

Consider this, though... something these “smart people” hired to do our thinking for us don’t seem to want to ponder:

What are the only two qualifications which merit one being considered a legitimate candidate for any public office in this country in which it is a boast that “We the People” are in power because we “elect” people to represent us?

The only two qualifications required for public office are thus;

1. One must have accumulated great wealth in order to have reached...

2. Fame.

Isn’t there something very perverted when the only two qualifications one must have to compete for public office are FAME and FORTUNE... which, automatically rules out anyone honest person who works for a living becoming a candidate?

Fortune and Fame are the only two qualifications required to be considered a legitimate candidate for public office here in the United States, the world’s greatest bastion of democracy according to those whose job it is to make sure no “lowly” person whose ideas are the result of experience as a worker ever gets a public hearing... especially if those views articulate the collective thinking of the working class in which one expresses the dangerous idea that only labor, with no little amount of help from Mother Nature, creates all wealth; which challenges the very bedrock of what is passed off as democracy where only those who have gained great wealth by exploiting labor and raping Mother Nature have the qualifications for public office.

If this isn’t true that only those who have achieved a level of fame based on their accumulation of tremendous wealth are credible candidates for public office, how does one explain there are no working class candidates tolerated when it comes to electoral politics in this country?

Can it possibly be, that of the tens of millions of working people in this country who comprise the overwhelming majority of the people in this country, not one single person who works for wages has ideas worthy of being considered as part of the national political discourse?

How can it possibly be that of the tens of millions of workers in this country no worker has ideas worthy of consideration?

How is it that ONLY the voices of those who have reached a certain level of fame based on the fortunes they have accumulated have ideas worthy of consideration for “We the People” to “elect” to public office?

Or, is it more of a “selection process” for us instead rather than an “election process” based on real competing ideas?

How can this be a democracy when one must qualify for public office based on wealth and fame instead of real life experience and ideas gained honestly working for a living?

Capitalism is in deep trouble

 It should be obvious, if not becoming obvious, to most people that capitalism is in deep social and economic crisis.

In fact, we might say the politicians fiddle with the most irrelevant as the system crumbles leaving many people in poverty while a complete moron who is unpredictable because he is a psychotic is at the helm placing us all in grave danger as he has the power to launch nuclear war.

If you aren’t scared yet you probably aren’t paying attention to what is going on.

Tell Biden and Harris we can't survive this economic collapse exacerbated by the coronavirus without a substantial bail out. Sign our petition. Ask your friends to sign.

 Without a concerted militant struggle by the working class for a Basic Income Guarantee, a Minimum Wage more in line with the actual cost of living, a needed increase in monthly Social Security checks and eliminating student debt- how will working class families get the things they are entitled to from the Biden-Harris Administration in order to get through, and survive, this mess we are in? 

Judging from the looks of the choices Biden and Harris are making in choosing personnel for their coming Administration, this is turning out to be another Administration with little to no sympathy or empathy for working class families who are suffering more than anyone else. 

As a class, the working class, we, along with our friends and allies who will also benefit from these very modest reforms, we propose, need to gear up to fight for what we are entitled to; or, once again, Wall Street billionaires are going to prevail as they get bailed out first while we suffer only to be told after the Wall Street billionaires are bailed out that there is no money to resolve our problems. 

Make no mistake, we are entitled to this relief.

This is not unfounded speculation... Joe Biden has a clear track record of putting corporate interests before the needs of working class families in spite of his opportunist campaign rhetoric to the contrary.

We need to speak out forcefully:

People before profits!

We can’t dilly-dally and procrastinate in organizing thinking the Biden-Harris Administration- given time- is going to do anything for us after the way they are quickly, without consulting working people, bringing in a bunch of crooked and corrupt Wall Street merchants of death and destruction loyal only to the Military-Financial-Industrial Complex to run the country in cahoots with the politicians in Congress who have also proven their loyalty, time and again, to Wall Street.

We obviously will not get a seat at the table where decisions are made unless we vigorously demand a voice in the decision-making process.

Democracy requires the working class to have a voice in the decision-making process.

We have suffered four long years without any voice or input in the Trump Administration which enabled Wall Street to gorge itself feeding like a bunch of gluttonous pigs at the public trough all the while claiming “big government” should not intervene to help working class families through this economic crisis exacerbated by the corona virus pandemic; we can’t endure four more years of being beat down during this economic collapse and continued coronavirus pandemic by another Administration which campaigned for our votes claiming to be on the side of working people.

Working people need this immediate relief right now without delay... any delay will result in more needless suffering and misery.

Bail out workers, not Wall Street:

1. A Basic Income Guarantee of $2000.00 a month for every adult over 18 and $200.00 for each child in the family.

2. A $650.00 increase for everyone receiving Social Security.

3. Cancel ALL student debt.

4. Increase the Federal Minimum Wage to $16.00.

The money can come from a hefty tax on the rich, a tax on stock market transactions, Federal Stimulus Funds for public needs and a Peace Dividend.

We need to make our voices heard through concerted and organized action.

Sign and circulate out petition at the link below and don’t forget to validate your signature as requested in the e-mail you will receive to complete the signature process:

To those who say much more is needed in the way of reforms, we agree. We will work together with everyone struggling for peace, to defend public education, for real health care reform in the way of a National Public Health Care System, to stop foreclosures and evictions, for full employment legislation which requires the President and Congress to be responsible for attaining and maintaining full employment with real living wage jobs.

We will either have a country bent on an imperialist policy of militarism and wars or we will have a country dedicated to taking care of the needs of the people; we can’t have both.

Let’s pool our efforts and strengthen the working class in this struggle to get our families through this mess.

Together we will win.

You work hard and what do you get? Misery and another day deeper in debt.

 YOU work hard.

YOU deserve real living wages.

YOU deserve free public transportation and the environment requires it.

YOU deserve free health care delivered through a National Public Health Care System.

YOU deserve free child care.

YOU deserve proper social care and a real living Social Security income in your retirement years.

YOU deserve adequate paid vacations.

YOU not only deserve all of this but YOU are entitled to all of this because WE are the WORKING CLASS...

WE create all the wealth.

WE are entitled to peace rather than having the wealth we create squandered on this senseless militarism and these dirty imperialist wars...

And like free public transportation, peace will contribute in a big way fighting climate change and global warming.

WE can have everything WE deserve and are entitled to if WE educate ourselves and use this education to fight for a better world.

WE can create a better world through a cooperative socialist commonwealth.

The choice is OURS:

Socialism or a rapidly declining standard of living.

Peace or war.

Socialism or extinction.

OUR common enemy is Wall Street not OUR fellow workers around the world.

Incremental reforms will not solve our problems; people should not have to suffer because politicians squander the wealth of OUR Nation on militarism and wars.

Long ago, as World War II was ending and the United States government began developing a thoroughly reactionary aggressive imperialist foreign policy enforced through the threat of nuclear war at Wall Street’s behest in relation to the Soviet Union, the emerging new socialist China and those peoples struggling to free themselves from colonialism and imperialism, concerned and alarmed far-sighted thinkers and politicians like the progressives Elmer Benson- the former progressive socialist Governor of Minnesota, Henry Wallace and his liberal friend Democratic Senator Claude Pepper who was a ranking member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee along with the distinguished peace and civil rights activists W.E.B. Du Bois and Shirley Graham Du Bois together with working class leaders including Harry Bridges, Wyndham Mortimer, Coleman Young, Claudia Jones and Ernest DeMaio who formulated and proposed an alternative agenda with the thinking that if the United States government would focus on creating a better life for our own people the increasingly aggressive and war prone United States government would not have the will, nor the capacity, to wage wars and meddle and intervene in the affairs of other countries... thus, the United States would become a voice for peace, reason, sanity committed to a foreign policy of mutual respect and cooperation with the rest of the world.

The shameful undemocratic smothering and repression of progressive voices- in and out of the United States government- towards the emerging socialist revolution in China at its early stages of the late 1940’s and early 1950’s has been all but forgotten; intentionally covered up and hidden from public view today… the case of “the China Hands” should become common knowledge if we are going to right the wrong foreign policy course of our government lest we become entangled in a disastrous new world war which could lead to a nuclear conflagration resulting in a horribly destructive nuclear winter.   

These voices of sanity and reason in the past were smothered with anti-Communist repression; anti-Communism is, once again, being used in a very sinister and undemocratic way to smother progressive voices of reason for peace and cooperation among nations.

In the past, common people from all walks of life made their voices for peace known in all kinds of international peace movements including the “Ban the Bomb” movement; later the anti-Vietnam war movement and then the huge mass movements of the peoplevall over the world opposed to Bush's War in Iraq. Such movements are needed today more than ever before. People wrote letters to the editor and politicians, they petitioned governments and they marched through the streets to make their voices heard. Again, forcing our government to focus on human needs and the health of the planet will help to prevent wars and contribute to putting an end to this insane militarism which is robbing us of our jobs and the basic necessities of life ranging from education to housing and health care. We must focus on putting people to work at real living wage jobs solving the problems of the people. This is the way forward.

The voices for peace embodying sanity and reason provided good advice back then and such thinking is what we need in this country now more than ever before.

There is a universal world-wide consensus that for the common good of all people and for the health of the planet: all wars must end; that people’s needs and the health of the planet must come before corporate profits.

As a life-long activist, it is with this in mind that I have joined with others in bringing forward this very minimal and basic set of four urgently required demands intended to help working class families through this capitalist economic collapse exacerbated by this coronavirus pandemic:

Members of the Socialist Connection Action Network (Socialist C.A.N.), of which I am a member, propose an emergency action agenda for all people’s unity around these very minimal and basic demands; we seek to work with all individuals and organizations to attain these goals:

1. A Basic Income Guarantee of $2000.00 a month for every adult over 18 and $200.00 for each child in the family.

2. A $650.00 increase for everyone receiving Social Security.

3. Cancel ALL student debt.

4. Increase the Federal Minimum Wage to $16.00 an hour.

The money can come from a hefty tax on the rich, a tax on Wall Street transactions and profits, Federal Stimulus Funds for public needs along with a Peace Dividend.

We have launched a campaign involving petitioning and letter writing to get this movement underway and to put pressure on Congress and the President to enact this as legislation.

We need your help.

Please copy, post and distribute as widely as possible.

For twelve years Democrats and Republicans have been using the financial resources and levers of government to assist and bailout Wall Street from this mess we as working people have had no voice in nor part in creating.

Now it’s time to bailout working class families.

We are not asking for a handout since we create all the wealth with no little amount of help from Mother Nature.

Every campaign of this nature requires many people helping to educate people.

Every campaign of this nature requires “all hands on deck.”

Every campaign of this nature requires the broadest possible unity in activity and action of as many people and organizations possible.

Together, we can win.

Petition: Bail out workers, not Wall Street... copy, paste, print, collect signatures, distribute... one by one- together we will win.

Bail out workers, not Wall Street.

Petition to the President of the United States and members of Congress…

This time bail out workers instead of Wall Street.

1. A Basic Income Guarantee of $2000.00 a month for every adult over 18 and $200.00 for each child in the family.

2. A $650.00 per month increase for everyone receiving Social Security.

3. Cancel ALL student debt.

4. Increase the Federal Minimum Wage to $16.00 per hour.

The money can come from a hefty tax on the rich, a tax on stock market transactions, Federal Stimulus Funds for public needs and a Peace Dividend.

Millions of people are suffering because of this economic crisis that has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.

We urge you to act now without delay.
