VOTE IN 2014 FOR PROGRESSIVE REPRESENTATION

Reject Congressional enablers of greed and corruption.
We the People must vote in 2014 for our representation.
We know who they are, we know how they voted.
Their  war on the middle class is fullly noted.

The Republican Party is working to take democracy away.
Vote in 2014 to insure democracy in America is here to stay.
American democracy of our fathers must again be won.
Vote Progressive in 2014 or democracy soon will be gone.

MORE REASONS TO BECOME A PROGRESSIVE

Government forced probes of vaginas.
Misogynists target women with vendettas.

Pro-birth anti-abortionists neglect poorly fed children.
Poorly educated children are an egregious American sin.

Revolving door enriches the few.
Congress can find nothing to do.

Plutocratic ideologues dictate government policy.
Congressmen swear to support disproven ideology.

Availability of guns caused the slaughter of the innocents.
NRA  proposes more guns in schools to provide protections.

Banks that are too big to fail are too big to exist.
To uphold justice by trial financial regulators desist.

Planet destroying tar sands strip mine in Alberta, Canada.
Profits for the few screwing the people of North America.

WHY I BECAME A PROGRESSIVE


The Ayn Rand's accepted promotion of greed.
Effectively denounces democracy’s creed.

Politicians and judges enable voter suppression.
We the People cheated out of representation.

Congress orders the Post Office to go bankrupt.
It’s now a plum for Congress’ friends to pick up.

Corporations globalized to maximize tax evasion.
Shipping jobs overseas caused USA desolation.

Corporate welfare drains the treasury’s coffers.
The well-heeled few provided with profit sources.

Social Security and Medicare slowly dissipated.
The middle class standard of living emaciated.

Weaken Social Security until it’s ripe for privatizing
Then drain the fund by slick trick profitizing.

Privatize Medicare in order to save it.
Provide the few with a source of profit.

Privatize schools to control what students learn.
Education is another source of profits to earn.
            

The Heist of the USA


The cup of the few filled to overflowing.
Greed driven largess, steadily growing.
The Peoples’ cup loses steady streams.
The few snatch democracy’s dreams.

PRESTIGE OF THE SENATE TAKES ANOTHER BLOW


Confidence in Congress at an all-time low.
Prestige of the Senate takes another blow.
Fiscal Cliff Medicare $500 million Heist revealed.
Taken from Medicare and given to the “well -heeled’

A Fiscal Cliff “negotiated provision buried deep.
Hidden where the American public could not see.
Whodunit? No one knows, or they dare not say.
That we never find out they hope and pray.

GOTO: Fiscal Footnote: Big Senate Gift to Drug Maker http://nyti.ms/T24INK

"Amgen has deep financial and political ties to lawmakers like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, and Senators Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana, and Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, who hold heavy sway over Medicare payment policy as the leaders of the Finance Committee."

THE MEDICARE/FISCAL CLIFF $500 MILLION DOLLAR ROBBERY




Once called a gift to emphasize the recipient.
In reality a covert robbery, bold and efficient.
$500 million robbed from senior citizens’ Medicare.
Of Senators McConnell, Hatch and Baucus we must beware.

These three U.S. Senators must be held accountable.
Of all the Senate’s tricks they are knowledgeable.
With 94 combined years of Senate experience,
Can these three Senators pretend ignorance?

Three U.S. Senators at the pinnacle of their careers,
What did they know and when did they know it.?
Investigations needed to quell senior citizens' fears.
A mystery to be resolved, in the U.S. Senate whodunit.

A COMBINED 94 YEARS OF SENATE EXPERIENCE

Of Hatch, McConnell AND Baucus beware.
They know all the Senate’s tricks.
$500 million bilked from Medicare.
A provision buried deep was a gift.
