I Don’t Believe in Email Petitions, but Here’s One You Should Sign Tonight.

This one may be worth doing if for no other reason than to put your outrage on record with the fascist bastards. ‘Cause I doubt my esteemed Senators here in Arizona would change their vote should 250 million citizens sign this protest petition, John the III authored the damn bill

Montana’s Citizens United Challenge; An Update.

Last week I posted a piece here detailing a decision by Montana’s state supreme court upholding their state’s long standing law prohibiting corporate corruption and monetary influence in Montana’s politics and governance. That legislation was put in place in 1912, 100 years ago. This past Friday SCOTUS stayed that ruling, but refused to reverse

“There Ain’t No Help, the Cavalry Stayed Home.” The Boss Chimes In.

Hey FireDogs. Well all I can say is it’s about damn time. I have been waiting to hear some music come out of this protest movement…….this Occupy……..this longing for a return to democracy(either real or imagined) that has impacted so many of us for so many different reasons.    To be fair,
