The Obama administration has the power to put a stop to union-busting of public sector unions by withholding federal funding to states. Remember this is how Presidents Carter and Reagan forced nationwide speed limits and drinking age laws.

It's actually existing law that federal transit funding be revoked to states that terminate collective bargaining agreements of transit workers.

Governor Strickland's support for Issue 2, the corporate attempt to hi-jack the state Constitution by agri-business, leads me to call upon Jerry Springer to challenge Governor Strickland for the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor.

Contact NBC4 and urge them to send weatherman Jym Ganahl to some climate change conferences with peer-reviewed climatologists. Let NBC4 know that they have a responsibility to have expert climatologists on-air to debunk Ganahl's misinformation and the climate change deniers don't deserve an opportunity to spread their propaganda:

Here's the plan that I think Dems should be pushing:

exempt the first $30 million of an estate. But tax estates at 90% after that. This would break-up dynastic wealth but protect small & medium-sized family-owned businesses.

Anyone who bitches about a system that allows a $30 million tax-free gift for winning the lottery of the womb is a piece of crap.

Somebody quick--please ask Pastor John Hagee what he thinks God is telling us by the fact that hurricanes will open and close the scheduled days of the GOP Convention.

Brown trounced an incumbent (Mike DeWine) in Ohio running as a progressive populist. He voted against giving Bush authority to invade Iraq and is best known as opposing insane trade deals.

Brown is telegenic and has a gravelly Charlie Rangel voice. He'd be a good campaigner and would be the perfect nominee to run for president in eight years.
