Curve Ball Alert!
Follow up to the “Cut this!” post – just found out that Republican House representatives snuck in a curve ball to REDUCE regulations on banks and corporations in their budget cut bill. Remember the results of the Bush/Republican Congressional-led 8 year deregulation era – massive home foreclosures, massive job losses, the downfall of the economy, personal loan freezes, and corporate Ponzi schemes?

Republican representatives keep promoting the DOWNRIGHT LIE that bank and corporate deregulation promotes job growth. If that were true, why did bank and corporate deregulation result in only 1.8 million new jobs throughout the EIGHT YEAR Bush/Republican Congressional deregulation period, and bank and corporate REGULATIONS resulted in 1 million new jobs in just TWO YEARS under the Obama/Democratic-led Congresses period?

Bank and corporate deregulation DOES NOT produce jobs for the working class, but it produces a whole lot of money for bank/corporate executives, Tea-Party demonstrations, and Republican campaign contributions!

Stop the Republican Corporate Welfare Movement. Contact your Republican state and Congressional elected officials at www.senate.org www.house.org www.house.org www.ncsl.org/?tabid=17173 (state legislature directory website) and www.gdi-solutions.com/directory/governors.htmv (directory of US state governors) again and again. Remember to conduct petition campaigns as well. Prove that Wisconsin union workers are not the only ones fighting for the “People’s Welfare”!

2. Correction: "Republican representatives keep promoting the DOWNRIGHT LIE..."
...about EVERYTHING." They're incapable of telling the truth, especially when there is money to be made, or someone's right to be taken away.
