The new rightwing strategy to discredit the strikes that have erupted in protest against cuts in education funding and poor teacher pay is contained in a three-page document obtained by the Guardian. Titled “How to talk about teacher strikes”, it provides a “dos and don’ts” manual for how to smear the strikers. Top of the list of talking points is the claim that “teacher strikes hurt kids and low-income families”. It advises anti-union campaigners to argue that “it’s unfortunate that teachers are protesting low wages by punishing other low-wage parents and their children.” The “messaging guide” is the brainchild of the State Policy Network (SPN), an alliance of 66 rightwing “ideas factories” that span every state in the nation. SPN uses its $80m war chest – funded by billionaire super-donors such as the Koch brothers and the Walton Family Foundation that flows from the Walmart fortune – to coordinate conservative strategy across the country. Another financial backer of SPN is the billionaire DeVos family of the Amway empire. Betsy DeVos is the current education secretary in the Trump administration.” (Click on Document below to read entire guide.) <div class="dk-editor-embed center-block" data-twitter-content='&lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"&gt;&lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;I’m reading SPN on Teachers Strikes on &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Scribd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@Scribd&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReadMore?src=hash&amp;amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;#ReadMore&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/n9k00x2u8G"&gt;https://t.co/n9k00x2u8G&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— durrati (@durrati) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/durrati/status/984482181954318338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;April 12, 2018&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;'><div class="remove-embed-content">x</div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">IÃ¢Â€Â™m reading SPN on Teachers Strikes on <a href="https://twitter.com/Scribd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Scribd</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReadMore?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ReadMore</a> <a href="https://t.co/n9k00x2u8G">https://t.co/n9k00x2u8G</a>Ã¢Â€Â” durrati (@durrati) <a href="https://twitter.com/durrati/status/984482181954318338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 12, 2018</a></blockquote></div> There is just no low these people won’t sink to. </blockquote> rss@dailykos.com (durrati) BetsyDeVos BloombergTV bodyguardFakeIDs KochBrothers NewMexicotinytown Recommended statepolicynetworkspn teachersunions _1756528 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 17:36:59 +0000 Watch Bloomberg TV for debate – only network to on screen fact check. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/26/1574649/--Watch-Bloomberg-TV-for-debate-only-network-to-on-screen-fact-check God how I hope their ratings go through the roof so that the imbeciles at the networks understand that an informed electorate is also good for business.

Transcript: <blockquote>    ROCKEFELLER: Harry Reid can put into that mark whatever he wants, and so if he puts in mine - less likely - or Schumer’s - more likely - if he decides to do that, then it’ll take 60 votes to take it out because it will be in the mark and that’s the genius of that melding of the two things.    HUNT: You think he’ll put that Chuck Schumer mark in?    ROCKEFELLER: I think it’s more likely that he would, yeah.    HUNT: Well, the most coveted woman in the world is Olympia Snowe, was on the committee and will still be on the floor and, you know, mightn’t Senator Reid have to put her proposal in there? Or let her offer that proposal?    ROCKEFELLER: If we calculate so finely, and so exquisitely, we’re going to lose our leadership and our momentum. And right now, yes, we did get her vote, she said just for this one, it doesn’t mean for the next one - round of votes. But we can’t sort of hedge and say, ‘What’s Olympia going to do?’ we’ve got to decide what we want. And now you’re on the whole floor, with all Democrats participating, or your close to that point, and Harry has to speak for the whole caucus. </blockquote> Rockefeller offered his comments in an <a href="http://data.bloomberg.com/bb/rssstory?sid=abuv6QZiPPrA">interview</a> with Bloomberg TV's Al Hunt, set to be broadcast this weekend. rss@dailykos.com (Jed Lewison) AlHunt BloombergTV Harry Reid HarryReid Health Care HealthCare JayRockefeller OlympiaSnowe Public Option PublicOption _794083 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:15:46 +0000 Banks:Pillagers of America's National Wealth (Update) https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/4/20/722221/-Banks-Pillagers-of-America-s-National-Wealth-Update As the current American banks continue their theft of our national wealth, all the other needed and <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/20/obama-budget-cuts-will-or_n_188874.html">equally/more valuable national projects (e.g., healthcare for all Americans, renewal energy development, community infrastructure projects, enhanced education funding, etc.) go wanting for financial suppor (see budget story at The Huffington Post).</a>   This stealing of America’s national wealth by the banks is briefly examined on the other side of the jump. rss@dailykos.com (vetforobama) Americans bankrate.com Banks Bernanke BloombergTV budgetcuts civilengineering Congress Depression Economics Economy Energy FederalBudget Finance Galbraith Geithner HealthCare Infrastructure InterestRates Loans ObamaAdministration Recession Reich TalkingPointsMemo TARP Taxes ThehuffingtonPost Treasury _722221 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:25:29 +0000 The MEFD ... https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/4/16/720747/-The-MEFD (Masters of Economic and Financial Disaster), with the help of a three-trillion-dollar, taxpayer funded bailout, continue to weave a calamitous financial and economic web for the nation.  The MEFD include the "Masters of the Universe" as well the wannabes.
