Obama is Coming for Your Social Security
Via Americablog, Obama wants to cut your Social Security. And once he blows a hole in the budget with these tax cuts for the wealthy, that’s exactly what he’s gonna do:
INSKEEP: Won’t Republicans argue — and, in fact, won’t reality argue that any cuts will have to be even deeper because this package that you’re [...]
Open Letter to Bob Casey, Friend of the Wealthy
[amended from the original, which was addressed to a very good legislative aide in Casey's office. Also, instead of providing links, I have embedded them.]

Bob Casey’s Office: “the Wealthy Create Jobs, so they Deserve a Tax Cut.”
That is what Senator Casey’s office told me when he voted to extend tax cuts for rich in exchange for 13 months more unemployment for those already receiving it (but of course nothing for those who’ve exhausted their 99 weeks: Senator Casey’s office would presumably prefer that those people and their kids curl up and [...]

Dear Secretary LaHood:
As a resident of Philadelphia, PA, a city affected with nearly 10% unemployment and decrepit transit infrastructure, I read your October 29th guest editorial in the New Jersey Star-Ledger with deep interest. I share your disappointment in Governor Christie’s decision to kill the ARC project: I believe the decision was foolish, driven [...]

Do you support jobs in Pennsylvania? Vote for Joe Sestak.

Vote Joe Sestak: he’s not insane, he’s a strong democrat, and he’s one of the hardest working people in the House.
