Elizabeth Warren speech at American Prospect on income inequality and TPP

Elizabeth Warren has this, Elizabeth Warren speech at American Prospect on income inequality and TPP, posted on her Facebook timeline.


If you are a staunch supporter of Elizabeth Warren, you may have heard these ideas before. I think there are still a lot of people who haven’t heard the full story, and here it is in a nice, compact 22 minutes. You can spread the message to people you know who might still not have gotten it. What more powerful service could you do for your country?


Gaius Publius: Sinking the Sanders Campaign Beneath a Wave of Silence

Naked Capitalism has the article Gaius Publius: Sinking the Sanders Campaign Beneath a Wave of Silence.

The point of the article is not so much, “What is Bernie going to do about it”, and more “What are you and I going to do about it?” While we still have access to the internet, this is the biggest tool we have to get things done our way. It is up to us to use it, Tweet, Facebook, Blog, MeetUp, Organize, Petition, or do whatever else you can imagine doing on the internet to overcome the lame stream media’s silence.

Don’t just sit back and say it can’t be done. How do you know it can’t be done, if you don’t try? If a 72 year old guy can muster the energy, perhaps the younger folk can find a little energy to invest, too. (Of course forcing you to have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet, is a good way for the oligarchs to make sure you don’t have too much excess energy to devote to politics.) If you are participating in this thread, then you must have some spare time on your hands.

“They” may have the money, but, at least for the time being, “we have the votes.”
