Rally on St. Paddy's Day

I have received a letter from Washington Community Action Network  on a planned rally on March 17th in Olympia.




We need you. Next Thursday, March 17th, thousands of people will be making their way to Olympia to attend the Rally to Protect Our Future. How fitting that on St. Patrick’s Day, a day when the color green reigns supreme, people will be demanding to see the green, money that is. On March 17th, we’ll demand that our lawmakers close outdated tax loopholes for Wall Street Banks, private jets, and elective cosmetic surgery to stop devastating budget cuts.

This is the next step in our fight to close tax loopholes, and only a big crowd will break through the lobbyist logjam. We must show lawmakers that the people of Washington want accountability and oversight in our state’s tax exemption system, not perks for special interests. Already, thousands of people have sent emails and made calls demanding that lawmakers close tax loopholes before making more cuts to services.

Join us on March 17th. Don’t let our communities be sacrificed for the profit margins of out-of-state corporations.

This rally is our opportunity to say “no more!” to special interests and “YES!” to protecting the future of our families, communities, and state. Demand progressive solutions to our state’s financial challenges, beginning with closing unjustified tax loopholes to stop devastating cuts.

Thanks for all that you do,

Wither Goes the Corn?

One of the most under played news stories in the national media right now is the potential impact of the mid-western drought on food security in the United States.  According to Forbes 75% of food on supermarket shelves has corn in it.  Having already destroyed, stunted or delayed much of the corn crop, the heat is now working it's way on the soybean crop.  The Agriculture Dept conservative estimate is that food prices will rise by 3-4% this year as a result.  However this is based on the current, incomplete assessment of the drought's impact on corn and other crops.This drought is a new phenomenon-- a global warming drought based on fundamental alteration of weather patterns.  Already about one quarter of the country is in severe drought. Other estimates of potential price impacts range as high as 15% and the latent fear that eventually, for a time, the U.S. may become a net importer of food may play havoc with the crop futures market.  Food inflation ...

Just War and Just a War

One of the thorniest problems man face is when, if every is war justified.  The bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace, but that could be just a bow to the inevitability of war in the fallen world.  If also says that they will beat there swords into plough shares and study war no more.  Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, William Miller and other Catholic Workers often ascribed to pacifism or near total pacifism face with the near impossibility of every untangling the moral consequences of violence from the ends desired in undertaking it. But St. Augustine, faced with a world where Christians were starting to replace pagans as political leaders and Christians we soldiers in obedience to the leaders tried to come up with criteria by which war could be measured.   Augustine knew that the Gospel question on it was complex.  One the one hand Jesus told people to turn the other  cheek and also told Peter to put away his sword and not defe...
