It's happening. The industry noise machine has kicked into high gear to stop the FCC from protecting Net Neutrality. On Monday, the AT&T-funded front group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) announced a $1.4 million advertising blitz to convince the public that the FCC is plotting to "take over the Internet." This is complete fiction. We urgently need your financial support to expose the phone and cable lobby's scare tactics and get out the truth. We're not asking for $1.4 million, but your donation of $14 would make a huge difference. Please Donate $14 to Push Back Against Industry Lies We have to act fast. AFP's lies are now spreading to Capitol Hill, and House minority leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor are spouting the same bogus talking points. And so are FOX News anchors and Glenn Beck. Of course, this is business as usual for AFP, which was created to spread fear and confusion on important policy issues, and to smear public interest groups like Free Press on behalf of its corporate donors. This is the same group of extremists that spread lies about President Obama's "death panels," and tried to kill climate legislation. The Internet is next on their list. These false claims of a "government takeover" are downright scary. By spending millions to spread these lies, AT&T and other companies hope that if they repeat "government takeover" often and loudly enough, people will eventually believe it. After all, from the "death tax" to "death panels," it's a tactic that's worked before. Donate $14 to Help Save the Internet Thanks to your calls and letters last week, we stopped the FCC from abandoning its promise to protect the open Internet and close the digital divide. That fight was intense, but it was nothing compared to what's ahead. We have to drown out these industry lies with the voices of millions of Net Neutrality supporters, and to keep the pressure on the FCC to do the right thing. AT&T and others are spending $1.4 million because they're worried the public might actually succeed in the fight for free speech online and universal access to the Internet. Let's show them they have reason to be worried. We don't take a dime from any companies, industry groups or political parties. That's why we need your support now more than ever. Thank you, Timothy Karr P.S.: Death panels, Wall Street bailouts, oil spills. Failed government oversight of industry shenanigans is hurting all of us. Don't let the Internet be next. Please donate today. |

 clipped from endoftheamericandream.comIf you ask most Americans, they will agree that the financial system is corrupt. It is generally assumed that just like most politicians, most big bankers are corrupt by nature. But the truth is that the vast majority of Americans have no idea just how corrupt the U.S. financial system has become. The reality is that the American Dream is literally being stolen from millions of Americans right out from under their noses and they don't even realize it. The corruption on Wall Street has become so deep and so vast that it is hard to even find the words to describe it. The level of greed being displayed by many Wall Street firms would make Gordon Gecko blush. It seems that the major financial players will try just about anything these days - as long as they think they can get away with it. But in the process they are contributing to the destruction of the greatest economic machine that the planet has ever seen. The following are 11 examples

Essay:John Wall divorce agreement - Conservapedia
"Divorce agreement “ Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950's, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is a model separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell (You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them). We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N.. but we will no l

 clipped from endoftheamericandream.comEven as sales of new homes in the United States plunge to the lowest level on record and even as confidence among U.S. consumers falls to dramatic new lows, it is coming out that bonuses for Wall Street executives and Fortune 500 CEOs are larger than ever. In fact, it is at some of the firms that received the most U.S. government assistance during the bailouts that executives are getting some of the biggest bailouts. So exactly how are the rest of us supposed to feel when millions of Americans are desperately suffering financially while executives at firms that were bailed out by the U.S. government are swimming in bonus cash? Should we be glad that at least a few fatcats are enjoying the American Dream while the rest of us suffer?
