A Letter From The Editor
What Do We Do Now?
There are three ways we can succeed in real progressive change that removes the threat of Republican Corporate Radicals from our Government and communities. We can Agitate from the outside and shake justice loose from the tree of liberty now threatened by the weeds of corruption. We can strengthen the roots by bringing democratic politics back to its core principles. We can be Johnny Appleseed and get the vote out and get the votes out for real progressives while planting the seeds of a grass roots revival.
The Progressive's Handbook
A Shareable Resource For Victory
Sharing resources fairly in America, and working together for progress for every American. That is the mission of Liberals Creating Progress and our Progressive's Handbook. When we create "fact sheets" that help refute the lies from Fox TV and Rightwing Radio we can share those easily with activists and fellow citizens. Rather than posting our responses to these lies on social network sites where they drift out of view as new information's posted, we can create a repository of truth and tools for social justice. Here's where we get started. Read more

IF YOU DON’T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY someone else will take it from you.
by Joseph Segal
IF YOU DON’T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY someone else will take it from you.
This is TRUE: We are all under attack.
WE are being Colonized by the New or Neo-Colonialists.
Just as they set out from Britain, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands backed by great Monarchies, Oligarchies and Banking Cartels, and later we ourselves did from the United States of America, to colonize, conquer and extract wealth, they now have turned INWARD to colonize their own people and lands!
This ‘SEQUESTER’ is an embargo of goods, a blockade of trade and wealth against us all just as every instance of AUSTERITY has been! It is Economic War and we are the casualties!
WE The People! WE the people are now being conquered, enslaved and educated to love and obey our masters without question from the halls of our schools to the average of 4 hours a day we all spend entranced by our Television sets!
We are ‘Consumers’ and “Workers’ and “Debt Payers’ but one thing they do NOT want us to be is CITIZENS!
To be Citizens we must be fully informed, well educated and engaged in working on not just our own wealth but our common problems!
To be Citizens we must understand what our government is and how it works and the names and votes of the people who work for us in it! We must know how their votes impact our families and lives! We must have that information available, accessible and as easy to understand as the morning sports scores!
To be Citizens able to participate in the construction and maintenance of a humane and fair society we must be healthy enough to think and work for ourselves and with others!
But our Neo-Colonial Masters, Blue Shield/Cross, Citi Bank/Chase/Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, Comcast/Time Warner/Viacom, Verizon/ATT, Exxon/Shell/BP, Wal-Mart/Target, and others, they wish to keep extracting our wealth, productivity and obedience from us, so we must be kept Sick, Weak, Distracted, Medicated and Busy fighting each other.
WE, WE The People who wake up and want OUR FREEDOM, we must unplug and Divest from the Corporate Multi-Nationals that no longer set sail on great Ships Of The Line with Conquistadors to conquer the indigenous people, they simply buy our politicians and our plant their Colonial Flags on our credit card statements.
You know the answers. You know what you must do.
It goes beyond Voting.
IF YOU DON’T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY someone else will take it from you.
DIVEST! REVOLT! RISE! UNITE!
The Big Game
by Joseph Segal
THE BIG GAME!
When I look out across the field here’s what I see. We all know the Republican Party entrenched in our government is one that not only doesn’t believe in the legitimacy of President Obama, it doesn’t believe in the legitimacy of the Federal Government!
It has done everything possible to delegitimize, disrespect and block President Obama and only at best pretended to want to engage in bipartisan compromise.
It has done everything possible to block all new legislation because it doesn’t believe the government should pass ANY laws from the federal government unless they are their extremist laws.
THEY TRIED TO PASS
1. Outlaw Abortion.
2. Keep millions from having health care insurance. (Overturn “Obamacare”)
3. Thousands of laws restricting women’s reproductive freedom including ones requiring they carry a rapists child to term so it can be used at trial as evidence And ones forcing the insertion of transvaginal ultrasound wands.
THEY ARE BLOCKING
It has slowed and stopped appointments of federal judges at a historically high rate so they can wait until they get in power and can put right wing judges in.
It has blocked implementation of the laws to regulate the Banking & financial services industry under Dodd Frank which was passed into law in order to try to prevent another financial catastrophe.
It has blocked passage of the Violence Against Women Act because they don’t want protection extended to Native American Women and LGBT people.
It is blocking expansion of Medicaid in the states they control most of which already have the lowest percentage of insured citizens and the unhealthiest populations.
But they have made a lot of unforced errors. They have overreached. They are too extreme and they have fumbled the ball!
