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 On March 17th, we’ll demand that our lawmakers close outdated tax loopholes for Wall Street Banks, private jets, and elective cosmetic surgery to stop devastating budget cuts.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,

Seeking the Romance of Life

A recent trip back to California, where I spent the middle half of my life (the part between the Seattle bookends)  and other smaller events have made me reflective of past events and places.  My brothers and I stopped in Santa Cruz, briefly, where I had lived for years, and stopped by a nightclub I had spent time in, the Catalyst, and asked the bartender the current status of local things. I found out Club Zayante in the Santa Cruz Mountain had closed.  When I got home I researched the Club, which was once of the hottest nightclubs in Central California to learn what happened.  I found out the club had closed for financial reasons then burned down. But what I learned about the owner, Tom Louagie intrigued me. He had come out from the east coast on a romantic quest, to find the Cannery Row he had read in Steinbeck. He had the idea of moving there and living a literary dream from the past.  He didn't know that that Cannery Row had died...

Swing States Swinging Against Meat Axe Budget Cuts and Anti-Labor Laws

Polls are showing wide swings of voters away from recently elected Republicans who are charing ahead with budget cuts and dismemberment of collective bargaining for public employee unions.   These polls are holding also for many of the recently elected Republican Congress people and in many states where the politics has been less volatile than the Upper Mid-West States. In Wisconsin, polls suggest that if there was a do over of the gubernatorial race in which Scott Walker decisively beat Tom Barret, Barrett would easily win by 52%.  Walker's support in union households has dropped from 40% to 33% and Tom Barrett's union household support has jumped from 54% to 64%.  Barrett's support among Republicans has risen to 10%.  In Michigan the new Governor created what people are calling financial martical law, where he can declare a financial emergency in a local government, take it over, and void union contracts. ...
