Different year, same old stuff.
Politics:
Over the past two years, especially during the election, Republicans and a select few Democrats did everything they could to derail health care reform.
Now they've fulfilled their campaign promise and voted for a full repeal. But what most haven't done is given up the affordable, subsidized federal care that they voted today to deny so many of us.
Call out this health care hypocrisy. Send a Rep. who voted for repeal the actual form to cancel their own federal insurance benefits:

Republicans hope to make 2011 the year that they finally cut Social Security.
Washington has been whipped into a frenzy over the deficit, and there are rumors the White House may try to cut a deal with Republicans by offering cuts to Social Security in the State of the Union.
We're aiming to get 150,000 signatures saying that any cuts to Social Security have to be completely off the table. We'll deliver the petition to the White House before Obama's speech next week.

Corporations aren't people. We all know that. But in last year's Citizens United decision, the Supreme Court gave corporations the same First Amendment rights as you and me. The result was record breaking spending by giant corporations to try to buy our elections.
We must take our democracy back. The most direct remedy we have left to correct the Supreme Court's awful decision is a constitutional amendment clarifying that corporations are not people.
I signed a petition urging my state leaders to support a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court decision. Can you join me at the link below?

In other news, we got our contracts in the mail for Emerald Flame to play the Norman Medieval Fair. Life goes on, and it's not all bad.
