1. yep obama and arne's race to the bottom crapola has put a target on teachers

backs.

It was the opening salvo.

Now look where we are. People are ready to punish their friends and neighbors in the community for what they think are undeserved greener pastures.

Must bring everyone down, instead of lifting everyone up.

It's a bad day in America.

2. Yep. And I don't recall such drastic measures called for in any

Democratic Party platform. It's why we must not only vote to try and change things but must create a movement so there is a political party outside the scope of running every facet of American life through the whims of corporate America. I would like to see a concrete effort at reestablishing the Democratic Party as the party of the people. Otherwise, the attacks will continue.
