Tax Day Mail


More mail, this one from a Move On member in Seattle, where I live, inviting me (and you) to  local protest that is part of a nationwide tax day protest.  If you are not working or busy filing your taxes go and help nail corporate tax dodgers like GE.  (GE has agreed to pay some taxes for the year they paid nothing, all the while claiming to be as pure as a little lamb.)


You're Invited:
Protest corporate tax dodgers: 
Monday—Tax Day—in Seattle 
Host: Norm C., MoveOn member 

Where: Bank of America in Ballard at 20th and NW Market (in Seattle) 

When: Monday, Apr. 18, at 11:30 AM 

Can you come? 
Click below for more details and to RSVP: 

I'll be there 
I can come. 

Can't make it 
Sorry, I can't make it this time. 
What: While vital government services get cut, corporations like GE are making huge profits, but paying no federal taxes. So, on Monday—Tax Day—in Seattle, and at hundreds of events across the country, we'll gather outside the headquarters and local offices of the biggest corporate tax dodgers to deliver tax bills from the American people. We'll demand that our leaders make them pay up, instead of cutting billions from programs that would create new jobs, drive economic growth and help the needy and our nation's children.

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. ...
