WHAT ABOUT JOBS?
By
Texan
- May 22nd, 2009 at 10:26 pm EDT
People have moved on to health care now. And we affordable health care for everyone but what about "creating new jobs" , was that lost somewhere?
There are existing companies that would rehire employees back if the economy would improve, these employees have been trained and have worked for years at a job that is vital to this nation.
If no one has a job how can they afford government run health care, it would need to be free or only the people that can afford it would have it, sounds like what we already have, and if it is free we already have that-its called WELFARE which is funded by the government which is funded by the taxpayers who have jobs.
I know that THIS President can do more than one thing at a time ( thank goodness we finally got a President with an IQ over 50) but let us not forget about jobs, I have lost count of the unemploed now what is it 3 or 4 million people without a paycheck? WE NEED JOBS!!!!!

UNITED AUTO WORKERS UNION
By
Texan
- May 21st, 2009 at 12:09 am EDT
Is fighting for the jobs of thousands and thousands of people and the millions it will effect if General Motors starts bring all their auto's from overseas.
DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE FIGHTING FOR YOU?
The UAW and other unions have been given a bad rap over the years by people who do not know what they are talking about. My husband's Dad was seriously injured in a farm accident a few years ago, he recieved a call at work ( GM ) his supervisor told him if he left he would be fired, he went and talked to the union steward who told him to go be with his Dad and family and not worry about his job. When he came back to work a few day's later-he still had his job.
The Union fights for your rights, how many people have been fired by a bully supervisor and had no recourse.
It's been reported that employees make loads of money, I beleive some people pulled pulled a figure out of the air of $78.00 per hr. these are the people who know ZERO about what they are talking about.
What concerns me the most is when the Auto Industry is no more in America that China will be making our military equipment because if there is a national crisis the Auto Manufacturers can retool a plant overnight to make our defense equipment, do we really want China, Mexico, India doing this. So please support us in our effort to keep manufacturing jobs here in AMERICA after all, it was the Auto Industry that built middle class America, NOT WALL STREET PAPER PUSHERS. THANK YOU. UAW AND DAMN PROUD OF IT.

HEY MR. CHENEY IT'S OVER
By
Texan
- May 20th, 2009 at 9:51 pm EDT
I know this man has been told that he is no longer VP, and that his keys to the White House was confiscated but he will not give it up.
And maybe the reason his former boss GWB has kept his mouth shut is because he knows that the torture was criminal.
Cheney, take a cue from GWB go and write your book , President Obama already has a VP, and you don't play well with others. You have a legacy alright but it is not the one you wanted.

That out of every dollar that General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler makes .86 cents is invested back into the United States, and for every dollar of the combined Foreign auto companies make they invest .14 cents back into the United States?
Foreign auto makers have flooded the market and 50% of Americans buy them, and please don't comment that foreign cars are made better, that has been disproven over and over again, so, America who are you going to support, America or Japan, China, Korea?
BUY AMERICAN WHEN YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIGHT HARD FOR US UNITED AUTO WORKERS, NO ONE ELSE IN AMERICA IS LISTENING TO US OR IS GOING TO HELP US, WE ARE ON OUR OWN.
FOR ALL YOU UNIONS OUT THERE STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR US WE WOULD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SELLING OF AMERICA
By
Texan
- May 18th, 2009 at 12:05 am EDT
MY HUSBAND IS A GENERAL MOTORS RETIREE, THIS WEEK THE UAW WILL AGAIN RENEGOTIATE CONTRACTS. GENERAL MOTORS WANTS TO CLOSE 16 PLANTS DOWN IN THE UNITED STATES THAT MEANS ANOTHER 21,000 WOEKERS OUT OF A JOB NOT TO MENTION THE RIPPLE EFFECT IT WILL HAVE ON THE SUPPLIERS AND THE TOWNS THAT LIVE ON THE TAX DOLLARS.
GENERAL MOTORS WANTS TO IMPORT CARS FROM MEXICO, CHINA, KOREA AND OTHER COUNTRIES. MR. PRESIDENT IS THIS THE WORK OF YOUR APPOINTED CAR CZARS? IT IS THE WORK OF TREASURY SECRETARY TIM GEITHNER AND NATIONAL ECONOMIC COUNCIL LARRY SUMMERS.
IS THIS WHAT YOU MEANT BY HELPING MAIN STREET AND NOT WALL STREET? MR. PRESIDENT WHAT MAIN STREET IN WHICH COUNTRY? ARE YOU GOING TO RAISE THE CORPORATE TAX ON GENERAL MOTORS IF THEY IMPORT THESE VEHICLES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES? THEY CAN HIRE WORKERS IN MEXICO FOR WHAT $25.00 A DAY?
MY HUSBAND GETS $700.00 PENSION A MONTH FROM GENERAL MOTORS AND WE PAY FOR OUR MEDICAL INSURANCE, RETIREES AND EMPLOYEES OF THESE AUTO COMP. ARE NOT RICH , ONLY THE WHITE SHIRTS ARE.
WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR SPEECH ABOUT MAIN STREET? DID IT GET SIDE TRACKED BECAUSE OF WALL STREET. YOU SAID THE BIG BONUSES AIG GAVE OUT WAS LEGALLY BINDING BECAUSE THEY WERE CONTRACTS, WHAT ABOUT OUR CONTRACTS?
YOU HAVE APPOINTED A CZAR FOR THIS AND A CZAR FOR THAT, DON'T YOU THINK WE HAVE TOO MANY CZARS IN WASHINGTON AS IT IS? LET THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE TAKE A PAY CUT, LET THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE BE CANCELLED , THEY SERVE ONE TERM AND THEY HAVE A PENSION FOR LIFE.
I KNOW YOU WANT TO GET YOUR HEALTH COVERAGE AGENDA APPROVED BUT THERE IS A CRISIS NOW, YOU NEED TO HELP MAIN STREET, US , THE PEOPLE WHO PUT YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE. YOUR CZARS ARE SELLING OUT AMERICAN FACTORY JOBS RIGHT ALONG WITH GENERAL MOTORS.
THE ONLY VOICE WE HAVE OUT THERE IS THE UAW, THAT ALSO STANDS FOR UNITED AMERICAN WORKERS, MAYBE WE NEED TO CHARTER BUSES AND CARRY SIGNS IN WASHINGTON TO HAVE OUR VOICES HEARED BECAUSE YOUR APPOINTED CZARS ARE SELLING US OUT.
I VOTED FOR YOU , THE LAST TIME I VOTED WAS IN 1976, I BELEIVE IN YOU. YOU CAN HELP US NOW ARE SUPPORT US LATER, OUR CHOICE WOULD BE TO GO TO WORK AND EARN AN HONEST DAYS PAY AND KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA, HELP US, TIME IS RUNNING OUT. THE DIFFERENCE IN MAIN STREET AND WALL STREET IS WALL STREET HAS BEEN GIVING A BLANK CHECK, LETS LET THEM FAIL, LET AIG AND BANK OF AMERICA FAIL, IF YOUR GOING TO LET AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER THAT BUILT MIDDLE AMERICA FAIL THEN LETS LET ALL OF THEM FAIL.

THE AUTO INDUSTRY
By
Texan
- May 15th, 2009 at 1:27 am EDT
IF YOU THINK YOUR JOB IS SAFE BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AUTO INDUSTRY THINK AGAIN. THE TOWNS THAT THESE MANUFACTURERS ARE IN, THE SUPPLIERS, THE DEALERSHIPS ARE GOING TO HURT BADLY.
THE CLEANERS, GROCERY STORES, DEPARTMENT STORES, CLINICS, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, SHOPPING MALLS, TECHNOLOGY STORES, TECHNOLOGY MANUFACTURERS, STEEL PLANTS, THE TAXES IN WHICH THESE TOWNS COLLECT IN ORDER TO EMPLOY FIREMAN, POLICEMAN, MEDICS.
JUST LOOK AT THE ENTIRE STATE OF MICHIGAN, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT EIGHT YEARS AGO BEFORE BUSH AND HIS CRONIES TOOK THE ECONOMY DOWN THAT THIS STATE WOULD HAVE THE UNEMPLOYMENT THAT IT HAS TODAY? THRIVING TOWNS ARE NOW GHOST TOWNS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY CITY THAT WILL STILL BE STANDING WILL BE NYC, BECAUSE THEY SELL PAPER-MAKE BELEIVE.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE PRIDE OF BUYING AMERICAN? WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEPING JOBS HERE IN AMERICA? AMERICANS HAVE MADE CHINA A RICH COUNTRY, AND I INCLUDE MYSELF IN THAT, HOW SAD THAT THE GREED FOR BIG PROFITS HAS REPLACED AMERICAN PRIDE.

MR. PRESIDENT WHY?????????????????
By
Texan
- May 10th, 2009 at 11:54 pm EDT
Did you make General Motors President Rick Waggoner resign? Did it make a difference? No it did not! The idiot that is in there now ( which I'm sure was placed there by your money guru- Tim Geithner) is not doing much to boost consumer confidence when he keeps saying that bankruptsy is probably going to happen.
While your giving BILLIONS of our money to banks over and over again you are letting an American manufacturer
who employs thousands of people and is connected to millions more go down the tubes. I campaigned for you, I blogged my heart out for you, I alienated family members because I beleive in you, if you think the unemployment numbers are high now just wait.
So Mr. President you can help us now or help us later, helping us later will be more costly- we will apply for unemployment, food stamps, medicade, maybe the government will pay our mortgages OR maybe we can apply for a job at a bank, we know they will stay in business because the federal government will see to that with my money. I know this did not start on your watch, but it is what it is and I suspect half of the million new voter registrations that you aquired were a result of these hard working UAW members, remember your promise to us Mr. President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" FIRE IS BORN" ARE YOU ON THIS SITE TONIGHT?
By
Texan
- Apr 29th, 2009 at 12:10 am EDT
iS THE dnc GOING TO CLEAN UP THIS SITE? For day's there has been some crazy blogs like multiple videos and lots of spam. I know some of the bloggers who was on this site from the beginning are gone. I remember when we were blogging our hearts out before the election, those were the days.
If the DNC cannot do something about spammers then I will not be back on this site, the spammers are taking up page after page with JUNK! But that is probably what the spammers( I'm sure they are Republicans running scared) want.

DNC-YOU NEED TO CLOSE THIS SITE OR MONITOR IT
By
Texan
- Apr 27th, 2009 at 11:43 pm EDT
THE PERSON OR PERSONS WHO ARE USING THIS SITE TO SHAMELESSLY SELL THEIR PRODUCTS ( HOW CHEAP CAN YOU BE ) OR WHO ARE USING MULTIPLE BLOG NAMES TO SHOW VIDEOS HAS FINALLY DESTROYED THIS SITE.
IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY RIGHT WING SICKOS WHO DON'T HAVE A LIFE, SO , IF YOU CAN NOT MONITOR THIS SITE BETTER THAN JUST DISCONTINUE IT.
WHAT ONCE WAS A SITE FOR INTELLIGENT INFORMATION HAS NOW BECOME A BREEDING GROUND FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR AMERICA. WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE CREATE THEIR OWN SITES? BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD LOG IN.
DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE A CLUE WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD AROUND THEM,NO. THEY DON'T GET OUT OF THEIR PARENTS BASEMENT ( WHERE THEIR COMPUTERS ARE ) LONG ENOUGH TO BLEND IN WITH NORMAL SOCIETY.
SO, ALL THE REPUBLICANS THAT HAVE DESTROYED THIS SITE JUST REMEMBER THE RNC HAS A SITE ALSO.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
By
Texan
- Apr 24th, 2009 at 1:53 am EDT
YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO CREATE MILLIONS OF JOBS.
IS THIS BEFORE OR AFTER YOU LET THE AUTO INDUSTRY GO UNDER? WHY NOT SAVE MILLIONS OF JOBS AND DO WHAT YOU DID FOR THE BANKING INDUSTRY?
DID YOU GIVE THE WALL STREET THEIVES A DEAD LINE TO PAY BACK THE TAXPAYERS MONEY LIKE THE AUTO INDUSTRY WAS GIVEN?
THE UAW WAS A BIG PART IN GETTING YOU ELECTED BECAUSE WE BELEIVED IN WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT HELPING THE WORKING MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE SOMETHING THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE FOR US IN YEARS BUT WALL STREET HAS BEEN HANDED BILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS AND WILL GET MORE.
AFTER THE AUTO INDUSTRY GOES DOWN THE TUBES AND AFTER ALL THE STATE AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX REVENUE IS LOST AND MORE PEOPLE IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE AFTER IT IS TOO LATE TO HELP ANYMORE WHAT THEN MR. PRESIDENT?

TEXAS UAW AND PROUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By
Texan
- Apr 22nd, 2009 at 12:03 am EDT
The middle class was built by hard working AMERICAN men and women generations ago, their sweat and blood was the reason people could live the American dream and have a home, a nice car send your kids to college, retire knowing that you earned it and worked for it and nobody was giving you anything for free.
But if the Auto industry goes down so will the last American Made Manufacturer.
The loss of tax revenue alone will be a hard hit to the government, state and federal, the domino effect it will have will be unstoppable.
The government will have to throw up makeshfit unemployment offices overnight, the welfare lines and food stamp offices will not be able to keep up and the cost to the American taxpayer will be nothing like we have ever seen before because Washington will need help from you, again and again and again.
John Rich may have campaigned for McCain but his song rings true-"IN THE REAL WORLD THEIR SHUTTING DETROIT DOWN", HE SAYS THE MIDDLE CLASS DON'T BUY MAKE BELEIVE, WELL THEY HAVE BEEN ON WALL STREET and we the taxpayers have rewarded them for it, the very banks our tax dollars helped or shutting their fancy office doors in our faces.
" KAY " from Michigan, my husband is retired from GM and we are bracing ourselves for his "small" pension check to be cut off and even though we pay for the healthcare that too will probably be gone.

BLOGGERS IN NEED OF PROFESSIONAL HELP OR REPUBLICANS- ONE IN THE SAME !
By
Texan
- Apr 19th, 2009 at 11:15 pm EDT
There are some bloggers on this site that needs some serious professional help and they are more than likely Republicans that are doing what Republicans do best, blog about nothing are they have nothing to intelligent to say.
So, instead of typing things that make no sense and using up a lot of space dig into your far right brain and contribute something intelligent-your Republican Party would be so proud.

DO NOT PUT ALL TEXAS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By
Texan
- Apr 18th, 2009 at 12:37 am EDT
Just because we have nitwits for a Governor and Senators, these people DO NOT speak for all Texans, President Obama got more votes than any Democratic Presidential nominee in recent history in Texas thank you! Just because we have a Governor who is all hat and no brains does not give anyone the right to put us down. Texas is not going anywhere , Perry on the other hand is on his way out after the next election.
