the Turnips (Pennsylvania) have co-authored an anthem for #OWS with Miriams Well (OR) I'm trying to get a video project where musicians sing this with protesters and post the videos on YouTube AND send the raw vids to me for a world-wide video project.

Union Song
Tokay, German, Smith, Bowden (c)2011 TurnipsMusic/Miriams Well-Buckin Savior

Capo on 2nd fret (sorry Steve, don't know music speak)
Tune in E-
Will send chords in a minute

My father was a union man
My grandfather was, too
I've been working all my life just to pay my union dues
And it's got me in a rage,
But they will not take the best out of me, no they won't,
They will not take the best out of me

You say that it's a movement, but this is an occupation
To fix a broken people, you got to fix the situation
And for a time you will be dazed,
But it will not take the best out of me, no it won't
it will not take the best out of me

On the second day we tripled in people by the hundreds.
We took the Brooklyn bridge, the cops, they did hunt us
Detained us for a while
They will not take the best out me,no they won't
They will not take the best out of me.

Union Song

Capo 2..
Intro Em / /

Verse and chorus
II: Em // D/ Em/ Em// C D Em/
C// A/ Em G D Em C Em/ G D Em/// :II

Well why would I say this? I diaried about my call last week to Jim Gerlach's office re: Bush giving Rummy job security...to ask if he agreed. He wad'nt there.

Well today he called. In person.

Why would he do this? Not because he thinks he will win the election tomorrow...is it? It's because I matter so much? Because I am that important? Never rated more than a form letter before.

PS: I also called Lois Murphy with my hair on fire to ask please, please run an aggressive campaign.

Lois didn't call. Maybe she did not need to.

I awoke this morning to the announcement of the first American death of November 2006. This sent the usual pangs of anger through my body that I feel when I hear such news. 107 dead in October...how many more?

Then I began thinking about Mr. Bush's promise to retain Rumsfeld for the duration of his presidency.

I had to see what my congressman Jim Gerlach thinks.... Read More

I went To Lois Murphy's website and read that she has no position on the Iraq occupation or holding our federal officals accoutable for violations of federal law.

Follows is my email to the campaign asking why she would have no position on such large issues of our day....

Vice President shoots fellow hunter.

The gang that can't shoot straight really can't shoot straight. I think this is Richard (DICK) Cheney's Agnew moment!

You see Agnew was in a swirl of controversy as Nixon's VP when he made national news by beaning some spectators while playing golf. Later that year he resigned when he was indicted for tax evasion.

Last weekend amid a swirling controversy and with his chief of staff under indictment, Cheney shot a fellow hunter. I heard he was aiming at a Quayle. Are the Bush's and Quayle's on the outs?

Anyway, that's Cheney's Agnew moment. Charges to follow. I predict that he will resign within the year.

Check the trivia, Republican golfers are F'n dangerous. Bush 1 gave a 70 year old woman 10 stitches..Ford hit a kid with a club, Nixon and Eisenhower also had golf accidents where people were hurt.

I am a member of America's biggest party.

I am not a Democrat, or Republican or Green. My status of Green was stripped of me the last time I got a new PA Driver's licence. I just let it sit that way. I do not feel excluseively Green.

Now I am a member of the largest group of registered voters: Independents.

I am truly an independent. It fits my personality. I think for myself. I don't need to read the talking points.
I read the data...for myself. I don't follow the crowds. Read More
