Result of Bush’s economic policy. Hunger In America From Science News, October 28, 2005 Hunger In America Rises By 43 Percent Over Last 5 Years The USDA report, Household Food Security in the United States, 2004, says that 38.2 million Americans live in households that suffer directly from hunger and food insecurity, including nearly 14 million children. That figure is up from 31 million Americans in 1999. Dr. J. Larry Brown, an authority on hunger, stated the following: “With this astonishing level of food deprivation in America,” Brown concluded, “we need President Bush to step up to the plate. If he now asks Congress to cut federal food programs, hunger will increase even further. We need the moral leadership to stem this crisis.” Full Text of the Article Hunger In America 2007 Statistics LIMITED EDITION PRINTS CLICK HERE

A Taunton, Massachusetts woman killed herself when she learned that the bank was going to foreclose her home loan. She left a note to her family to use her life insurance to pay off their loan. This happened in July 2008. As the housing mortgage crisis worsens and more people lose their jobs, I fear stories like this may become all too frequent on the evening news.

Immigration / MCN:C82-QGC1-2213 From Latina Lista Website: Immigrant detention is called “detention” because detainees are not being held for criminal charges. Immigrants are the only group of people in the United States that are routinely held in jail for civil offenses. Paradoxically, while immigrant detainees are held for lesser offenses, they can be held indefinitely, and they do not have the same legal protections, such as the right to free legal counsel, as people who have been charged with crimes.

“The only benefit to America in maintaining prohibition [on drugs] is the psychic comfort we derive from having a permanent scapegoat.

Creative communities have inspired scandal, melodrama and (not to mention) artistic productivity throughout history. / / / From the mid-1800s in Paris, the hill-top district of Montmartre became home and source of inspiration for artists across Europe. Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse were among the painters drawn to this bohemian commune. / / / A hub of creativity existed in the outskirts of Melbourne in the 1930, 40s and 50s where a gifted generation of artists defined the Australian modern art scene at Heide (now Heide Museum of Modern Art). Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester were among the talents who created artwork and complicated relationships under the patronage of Sunday and John Reed. / / / The 1960s burgeoning of creative self-expression was epitomised by Andy Warhol’s New York work space – “The Factoryâ. Warhol’s open door policy and generation-defining parties made his studio a second home to the likes of Mick Jagger, Truman Capote and Salvador Dali who gathered to generate art, music and, inevitably, tabloid gossip. / / / These creative communes have defined artistic movements and inspired generations of creators. / / / Will there be creative communities that will define this generation and, if so, what will they look like? Are they evolving to a unique format to reflect today’s environment? Or are they suffocating under the financial and time pressures of economic rationalism? Dare we suggest it – are creative communities becoming an endangered species? / / /

Abraham Lincoln said, “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” / Unfortunately, the future of this country, as well as the fate of the Western world, depends on how many people can be fooled on election day, just a few weeks from now. / Right now, the polls indicate that a whole lot of the people are being fooled a whole lot of the time. / The current financial bailout crisis has propelled Barack Obama back into a substantial lead over John McCain—which is astonishing in view of which man and which party has had the most to do with bringing on this crisis. / It raises the question: Do facts matter? Or is Obama’s rhetoric and the media’s spin enough to make facts irrelevant? / Fact Number One: It was liberal Democrats, led by Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, who for years—including the present year—denied that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taking big risks that could lead to a financial crisis. / It was Senator Dodd, Congressman Frank and other liberal Democrats who for years refused requests from the Bush administration to set up an agency to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. / It was liberal Democrats, again led by Dodd and Frank, who for years pushed for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to go even further in promoting subprime mortgage loans, which are at the heart of today’s financial crisis. / Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury, five years ago. / Yet, today, what are we hearing? That it was the Bush administration “right-wing ideology” of “de-regulation” that set the stage for the financial crisis. Do facts matter? / We also hear that it is the free market that is to blame. But the facts show that it was the government that pressured financial institutions in general to lend to subprime borrowers, with such things as the Community Reinvestment Act and, later, threats of legal action by then Attorney General Janet Reno if the feds did not like the statistics on who was getting loans and who wasn’t. / Is that the free market? Or do facts not matter? / Then there is the question of being against the “greed” of CEOs and for “the people.” Franklin Raines made $90 million while he was head of Fannie Mae and mismanaging that institution into crisis. / Who in Congress defended Franklin Raines? Liberal Democrats, including Maxine Waters and the Congressional Black Caucus, at least one of whom referred to the “lynching” of Raines, as if it was racist to hold him to the same standard as white CEOs. / Even after he was deposed as head of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines was consulted this year by the Obama campaign for his advice on housing! / The Washington Post criticized the McCain campaign for calling Raines an adviser to Obama, even though that fact was reported in the Washington Post itself on July 16th. The technicality and the spin here is that Raines is not officially listed as an adviser. But someone who advises is an adviser, whether or not his name appears on a letterhead. / The tie between Barack Obama and Franklin Raines is not all one-way. Obama has been the second-largest recipient of Fannie Mae’s financial contributions, right after Senator Christopher Dodd. / But ties between Obama and Raines? Not if you read the mainstream media. / Facts don’t matter much politically if they are not reported. / The media alone are not alone in keeping the facts from the public. Republicans, for reasons unknown, don’t seem to know what it is to counter-attack. They deserve to lose. / But the country does not deserve to be put in the hands of a glib know it all, who has accomplished absolutely nothing beyond the advancement of his own career with rhetoric, and who has for years allied himself with a succession of people who have openly expressed their hatred of America.

Poor Jocelyn

News & Views: An American dream denied / November 7, 2008 JOCELYN VOLTAIRE has been through an economic and emotional roller coaster over the past year. After emigrating from Haiti with her family 45 years ago, Jocelyn came to the United States looking for a better life. She worked three jobs to put herself through college and, in 1987, was able to put $55,000 down on a house. For her, it was the American dream, raising her three children in her own home. But recently, this dream became a nightmare. Earlier this year, Jocelyn found out her home would be foreclosed on, as she was unable to pay the skyrocketing mortgage payments. She was a victim of a predatory lending scam (by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs) that has affected millions of homeowners, especially poor people of color. Just weeks after she received news of her foreclosure, she was informed that her oldest son, serving in the Navy, was killed in Iraq. As Jocelyn had depended on her son’s income contribution to make her house payments, her situation appeared dire. October 17, the date that her home was to go on the auction block, loomed, and Jocelyn felt helpless about her ability to keep the home she had lived in for over 20 years. While the corporate media was too busy camped out at the home of “Joe the Plumber” to pay Jocelyn Voltaire any mind, the American News Project (ANP) was one of the only media outlets to break open her story, posting a heart-wrenching video exposé on its Web site. Two days later, a grassroots effort sprang up to help Jocelyn save her home, spearheaded by the antiwar coalition Code Pink. They were able to raise $30,000 in donations, which removed Voltaire’s home off the auction block and kept Jocelyn in her home. At a press conference on the Queens courthouse steps where the auction was to have taken place, Jocelyn said: “To all of you facing similar disaster, don’t be silent, don’t be ashamed. Step forward and call out for help. That’s what I did, and a miracle happened. These angels came to help me. We all have to pull together and help each other.” While Jocelyn’s fight to keep her home is far from over, her story should provide inspiration for working people all over who are sharing her struggle. Hers is a story that highlights the power of the people when they come together in solidarity. It is also a fierce indictment of a government that can find over $700 billion on a bailout to Wall Street, but can’t find the heart to help out a hard-working woman, whose son died serving his country. Jocelyn’s story is tragic, yet not singular. She is merely a victim twice over of an economic system that cares more about the rich bankers than poor mothers. What we need is to build a movement to demand a moratorium on home foreclosures, and reparations for the victims of the housing crisis. Jessica Hansen-Weaver, San Francisco Orignal Aside: Another greedy, selfish, money-hungry bastard went belly-up here recently (ABC Child Care Centres), and our wonderful govt, has bailed it out for $22 mill, which may require more, after December!! It never ceases to amaze me, how much “people’s money” is being thrown at Companies (and their Directors/owners) that have failed to meet expected ethical, moral, and decency standards in business practice, at the detrimental expense of the vulnerable, gullible and least well-off.
