In my sh t hole of a city, we are losing 25 cops because the city cannot afford to pay them. Up in Sacramento county, the sherrif got on TV and told the people of the city and county of Sacramento that their sherrif's dept cannot help them in the event of a burglary or property crime. He also said he cannot provide protection for the people. Did wonders for gun sales. Still is.
Of course democrats are just as much to blame. They have been spending more than they take in for way too long. But it was the Bush Cheney era that forced the economy into a free fall by their actions in the ME. Had they handeled that differently and NOT gone into Iraq we would not be here now. But they KNEW this was a danger...

Caribbean Junket Probe Headed by Black Caucus Member Shows Pelosi’s ‘Mockery’ of Ethics Process
Submitted by Peter Flaherty on Tue, 07/07/2009 - 11:12
Susan Crabtree reports in The Hill today:

The chairman of a House ethics probe into a Caribbean conference attended by members of the Congressional Black Caucus is himself a CBC member who attended the same event in 2005.

Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), the former judge chosen to chair the ethics probe, has vowed to lead a fair investigation into trips taken by CBC members to St. Maarten in 2008 and Antigua and Barbuda in 2007.

NLPC exposed the 2008 junket. The Hill noted my reaction:

“The CBC really sticks together — you can see their solidarity in the face of these ethics charges,” Flaherty said.“To put one of their own members in charge of the investigation just shows that nothing has changed — the ethics process is still a complete mockery.”

Google’s Hypocrisy on Censorship
Submitted by Ken Boehm on Mon, 07/13/2009 - 19:03
Today NLPC released a letter to members of Congress responding to a letter from a Google front group called the Open Internet Coalition (OIC). The June 29th OIC letter raised concerns about the use of new technologies like deep packet inspection which the group argued could be used by governments to “spy on Internet communications, censor speech and prevent grassroots democratic activism and free expression.” The letter called for Congressional hearings on the deployment of such technologies.

In our response, we pointed out the hypocrisy of a Google front group calling for regulation of new technologies that can hypothetically be used to subvert free expression, when Google itself has already implemented technologies that do the very same thing in countries like China.

Paula Reed Ward and Dennis B. Roddy reported today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Federal prosecutors filed corruption charges yesterday against a onetime defense contractor who has ties to both John Murtha and a suburban Johnstown defense contractor currently under criminal investigation.

Richard S. Ianieri, former president and CEO of Coherent Systems International Corp., was accused of accepting $200,000 in kickbacks. He is charged through a criminal information and is expected to plead guilty.

The indictment of Ianieri represents the first charges leveled as a result of investigations into firms receiving defense earmarks – many of which benefited former aides and associates of Rep. John Murtha (D-PA).

York Times Eyes Pelosi’s Swamp
Submitted by Peter Flaherty on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 11:11
From a New York Times editorial today titled “The House Eyes the Swamp:”

Self-investigation has never been a signature virtue of Congress. So taxpayers should closely monitor the House ethics committee’s inquiry into the lucrative relationships between defense appropriators and military contractors.

The committee finally confirmed the inquiry — not yet a full-blown investigation — into suspicions that members and staffers earmarked hundreds of millions in defense contracts for favored companies in return for tens of millions in political donations. In a separate matter, the ethics committee opened an inquiry into whether Caribbean trips taken by Representative Charles Rangel and four other lawmakers violated House gift rules. It is encouraging to see such curiosity from the traditionally somnolent panel.

We too are glad that the Ethics Committee is looking into these matters, especially since we are the source of the allegations about the Rangel-led Caribbean junket. But it will take more than “curiosity” to deal with the current wave of corruption in Congress.

Issa: Obama Abetting Union Corruption
Submitted by Carl Horowitz on Wed, 07/01/2009 - 14:07
From literally day one, the Obama administration has made clear its intent to back off from investigating corruption within organized labor. At least one member of the House of Representatives has expressed concern over this direction in policy. On June 23, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a press release highlighting his objection to the ongoing rollback of union financial reporting requirements by the Department of Labor (DOL). His intent was to publicize a letter he'd sent the previous day to Denise Boucher, policy and disclosure director of the department's Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS).

pages of corruption..I'll get back with ya later.

[One shot One Kill]

Take Your "Reform" and...

The American public has now turned against Obama's fascist "reform" of health-care. According to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, 49% of US voters are now at least "somewhat opposed" to the ObamaCare health-reform plan, while 46% at least "somewhat favor" it. Just two weeks ago, 50% were for the reform plan, and 45% were opposed. The "nays" also continue to have the edge in terms of intensity. While only 22% "strongly favor" the Democrats' health-care-reform plan, 38% "strongly oppose it," an increase four points from the previous survey. Among those voters lucky enough to actually have health insurance, the surveyors say opposition is even higher.

According to CBSNews, Obama's overall approval rating has fallen from 63% to 57% in the last month. On economic policy, he's down from 57% in June, to 48% today. 7 of 10 polled expressed "some concern" that they would lose their jobs.

Unions are a good thing gone bad in some cases. I'm a twenty year union member and understand the origins and struggles involved and the good that came of it. It is an important part of US history. That said,they need to adapt with the times or they will die. The trade unions seem to have adapted better than labor unions and the labor unions are the ones suffering the most. What bankrupted GM wasn't by what they were paying to their employees, what bankrupted them were the over the top benefits promised to them for life. Instead of being bull headed they should have tried to work more with the management of GM. A long time ago. The same thing just happened in Chicago. 25 of 27 unions representing city employees accepted cuts and forced furlough days, 2 did not. They were teamsters and AFSCME, labor unions. This forced the city to lay off 400+ people, mostly from the two mentioned. So instead of everyone taking a moderate hit, 400+ of their members are unemployed. Makes no sense. Unions should never disappear, but they need to adapt.

You're right,NLPC is a biased group. Further posts then had sources like the NY times and Pittsburgh Gazette, left leaning sources that at least run some conservative columnists.

thanks Gynger,
Someone asked for a link but I still can't tiny url. But it was National Legal and Policy Center.
There are pages and pages of the corruption. Anyone who does not see it is a liar and a fool.
They started out as good but greed took over.
I would think people would want to stomp out corruption no matter what side they are on. I guess they don't care that less money for the working people goes to the corrupt and obama's pay backs.
Ps. I saw your post/link to Acorn..Another one that people are blinded or fools ..and they say they care about people. BS..

Hey Deb we have an assortment of big electric motors out where I work. They run big compressors and are definitly 3 phase. They make the whole plant dim when they come on line.

Hi there!!!
It kinda sounds like you
might have a power factor problem.
But I do wonder if your compressors are old.
And may not have a soft start.
But there something called
a Y delta very confusing to me,
something to do with the tranformer
and no neutral.
Im not sure if that is what have,
or even if that could be the
cause of your problem.
I would say power factor and old compressors.
There is a wonderful sweetie
on here named ctinman he is a electrician,
and could give you a
much more professional answer.
Im not a electrician, I know about enough to get myself hurt.
If you see me open a panel. RUN!!

Im just joking, Im actually very carefull.
But Im young and much to learn.
Long way to go before
Im a seasoned vet like ctinman.

If you want to stomp out corruption on both sides, try posting some right wing corruption. God knows you could fill a thousand pages with it!

Thats a little harsh dont you think?
The fact is its not in the
company interest to have workers
killed on the job, or working under harsh conditions.
I have worked many double shifts
and 7 day weeks many times.
I was well paid for it.

I agree
from what I have seen the hard line entrenched
union leaders seem to be reluctant to adapt.
It just takes time I guess.
They will get there.
So many union plants closing its so very sad.
Better days to come I think!!!!
