Positive Messages…
“Liberal supporters of Sanders who … flippantly cast concerns about his collusion with the Pentagon establishment aside with “no one is perfect” or “better than Hillary” refrains, should scrutinize their own values, and answer how they rank more refugees, corpses and amputees in the Middle East and Africa against largely unenforceable rhetoric about “standing up to Wall Street.”
Bernie wants to be the new war tender… on war: history speaks
Truth is, Bernie endorses ongoing wars, drones, and extra-legal assassinations: spending trillions, killing millions and making promises he cannot keep.
“So long as our nation remains trapped in the quagmire of political gridlock,
we remain incapable of dealing with the most pressing issues of our times.
With dark clouds of war looming on the horizon and the existential threat of
climate change endangering all humanity, we need an American system
capable of responding. American society is doomed to spiral further downwards.
So long as Sanders caters to populist demands but fails to challenge the system
that spawned them, he will not have my vote.”

Regardless of nominee, do the right thing
Bernie’s tired trickle-down theory where we spend trillions, killing billions, making new enemies and bankrupting the state is untenable. Unending wars are not a platform for peace, justice or a future. And we have already lost parts of our freedom and most of our jobs… The war economy quit working a long time ago.

Ralph was right twenty years ago… “Tweedledum and Tweedledee”
“When voters decide they will no longer be mistreated and summon candidates to their own citizen-powered debates, the dynamics behind the campaigns will shift toward the citizenry.”

232-Mile ‘Hike the Pipe’ to Protest LNG Pipeline Starts Saturday
This Saturday, August 22, a group of activists who also oppose the LNG plant are starting a nearly month-long, 232-mile hike in protest along the proposed pipeline route. ‘Hike the Pipe’ starts in Malin—a tiny town located Southeast of Klamath Falls, just north of the Oregon-California border—and crosses the state to Coos Bay, with events planned along the way. A core group of five to 10 hikers will participate in the full hike, with opportunities to join them for day hikes and kayaking protests along the way.
