Mayday 2017

So many things to say this year. I saw that our current POSOTUS (Piece Of Shit Of The United States) wants to change the holiday to a version of Get In Line Behind Furor Day...ignoring so many facts about history. This day is a pagan holiday first and foremost. The workers of the Soviet Union and throughout the world have used May Day as a rallying moment for labor. Stealing ritual days from the pagans is one thing, but if it is for a good cause like honoring workers, I have less problem with it than if an oligarch wants to make it into a cheer leading for oligarchs party! The lies that this administration burns through are just the sicker punches of their dog and pony show. The things that make you laugh if you don't pay too much attention to who is hurt by them.

The real and more sinister dismantling of our nation is taking place at breakneck speed and it gets virtually no coverage. It is far easier to laugh at a buffoon who knows nothing than to understand how "streamlining" Wall Street oversight makes even more money for the top forty corporate welfare whores, while sacrificing the rest. when the complexities of the markets are seen with the clarity of fifty years watching, twenty years of study and ten of actual investing...Every transaction is jumped by the biggest players so you lose on every buy and you lose on every sell...if you want to play, you always pay!

Instead of reigning in the swamp monsters who own most of Washington D.C. The Representatives who swore an oath to work for us, for the most part, have been installed by (on average 10 million dollar campaign war chests) oligarchs and their minions who can afford to donate huge sums to campaigns. The amazing thing about Bernie sanders, is that he raised millions of small donations, instead of hundreds of massive ones. I have written on this topic before, but today it seems much more important, because as more and more lies are foisted upon us, we need to find ways of getting and sharing real messages, based on science, fact and truth.

In my District, (WI-08), there are half of the voters staying home. We have nearly 3/4 of a million souls inhabiting the district, but just over 350,000 even showed up at the polls. The thousands of people I spoke to one-on-one lead me to believe that if there were a way to let that other half know that there was a real person, who cannot be bought, those facts would inspire them to come out to vote. I am continuing to run for the office and am willing to serve in Congress, not for the money, or to make sure I never have to work again, but to actually represent the thousands of people I have had the pleasure of speaking to! virtually everyone I met understood Bernie Sanders, that he is right and that the money in politics has got to go for our nation to survive. When people know what I represent and how I would solve problems based on science, not the caprice of religious leaders or financial/oil barons, they are quick to want to vote for me. I don't have money to run a viable campaign, so what I lack in dollars, I overcome by offering my time.

I am continuing to campaign for the office of Congressional Representative to WI-08 over the next two years. You may have to hear me spout policy positions, or elucidate how I feel about topical issues from time to time, but I offer these things with honor and respect for all of my readers. If someone only hears the truth once in their lives, but they hear it from me, I would be appropriately honored and humbled.

In the mean time, I'm grabbing my dibber and planting seeds!
