I don't remember how I got subscribed to ArcaMax, probably some dummass pol I took or something. They send out those junk emails and cartoons. I usually just deleted them anyway because most of their stuff was just ads, but I liked that they published old comic strips I used to read as a kid.

Now I know why so many ads. Here is what I got tonight and I immediately unsubscribed along with an angry letter to their editor that will follow the quote of what they sent out...

On Sunday Democrat Ramshields, an expat liing in Europe, wondered why American has such a terrible safety net http://www.dailykos.com/... Some Americans say in defense of and to justify their ignoring and hating the poor by refusing to support people who need it that, "No one ever got a job from a poor person" but there they are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Perhaps there is a smugness when we read about another child abuse case at the hands of a parent. We believe that the case worker is "damned if she does, damned if she doesn't". However we are not hearing about the 3 X more likely chance that child will die in foster care than if they had been left in the home with services. We are not hearing the truth that this case worker or his agency faces little if no consequences if a child dies by the hand of a foster home, we seldom even hear that for every child they take, more funding is allocated. This is in order to make you believe a child is better off being taken than living in their own homes with their own parents.

I was in DC at the end of last month with a group of women called "Women for Economic Justice (WEJ). We were testifying on the abysmal failure of Welfare Reform called Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, (TANF). Ironically, it is officially called, "The Personal Responsibility Act", which was aimed at low income mothers, written by a bunch of elitist white men who are/were CEOs of things like war machine producers, banks and insurance companies.

This coming Thursday I am testifying before the U.S. House in Washington DC for TANF re-authorization. This is the re-visiting of what is supposed to be done for (mostly) low income families in order to provide them with support when they have nowhere else to turn. In essence it is not doing the job ~ worse TANF funding is also being used as a slush fund in my state(WA)and many other states to destroy low income families and harvest low income kids for adoption.

I am just wondering how it is rich corporations have this "freedom of speech" that the SCOTUS is talking about, now there is no equal access for low income "persons" to get the same free speech these corporations have. Since we cannot buy what corporate persons can, hell we are lucky to be able to bbuy the bus pass to work. But we are considered "equal under the law" so where is our equal voice as "persons"? Is the U.S. going to subsidize us dollar for dollar now?

YES!!!!!!!

When it comes to paying taxes, if any class are the patriots, it is the down trodden, the homeless, the lowest class, even welfare mothers who actually pay more taxes than the rich ever thought of paying. Not only are they supplying the soldiers for the needless war in Iraq and dying in Afghanistan, they are also carrying the heaviest burden of paying the most in taxes. I am not making this up!

As a white woman who has worked for social justice all my adult life, I am in awe of this day. I have seen the progression of racism in my lifetime from separate drinking fountains for people of color to the swearing in of my new president who is a black man. I want to thank President Obama from the bottom of my heart. Because you see, I am raising my African American grand niece who I thought someday would look at my white face when I told her my dreams for her that she could be anything she wanted, and she would look up to my white face and silently say to herself, "Nana, you don't have a clue ..."

I am just a low income observer of all that is going on with the Wall Street "meltdown". I listened yesterday to the pundit's chatter, read everything I know of on the Net, read some newspaper reports, and even discussed this with a economics doctorate friend who thinks I am one of his "guinea pigs" as far as seeing how the economy affects my family and me as ones on the bottom of the barrel. I have come out wondering what the HELL our Democrats, Chris Dodd and Charles Schumer, talking about when they practically want to hand over the keys to this administration and give away all of our legislative powers to them. I did hear some weak fist pounding by Mr Schumer about not "giving away the keys" but we have seen how these folks fold and have given them away with FISA, Indictments ans Impeachments with treasonous actions by this administration, and on and on. What the HELL are they DOING?

...as an older white woman who stood for civil rights and remembers the "whites only" signs and the segregation as well as the redlining that occurs to this day, I wonder why people are so upset at being called "Whitey." While we no longer have signs proclaiming our racism, it does not mean racism has gone away. I do not think this name is actually being used around we Whites much, I just wonder why, when it is a fact that we live in a racist society that favors white people, we are so surprised that this term might be privately used by people who are decidedly not so privileged.

Caring deeply about the impeachment issues and along with hundreds of thousands of other Americans who wrote to their congress people, I wrote to Representative Inslee. Representative Inslee wrote me back and I was so proud that he is standing with the impeachment issues as well as others, such as the attorney firings and FISA issues as well. Thank-you Representaive Inslee for caring about the issues when so many of your own party seem to think they cannot walk and chew gum at the same time and do not support impeachment because, "it would take too much time and energy."

Congressman Inslee and a few other sharp legislators know if we held these hearings, it would bring out the information that needs to be aired and perhaps become a major campaign issue. Then the next president can take issue with the previous administration's actions that appear treasonous.

THANK-YOU REPRESTNTAIVE INSLEE FOR STANDING WITH TRUTH!

I am posting Representative Inslee's letter without further comment below the fold:

I had the privilege to participate in the book talk with John Dean on Firedoglake yesterday and he gave me an answer to my burning question that is giving me much food for thought. I also read Mr Feldman's diary this morning and feel he has some points about our need for finding ways to be passionate about our positions without creating enmity. I think John Dean had some very pertinent answers for Mr Feldman and all of us.
