People who vote for these right wing nuts should learn that they could care less about you and the high taxes that you pay because they will not do pension reform. This is killing retired seniors in PA. Greedy teachers unions are the worst offenders.

Pennsylvania legislature didn’t want to upset the Teacher’s Union or State Workers (Union). No, state workers shouldn’t have to pay into pensions or pay for healthcare coverage like the rest of us. Just raise taxes to cover any additional expense.

Beacon for ACLU leadership to counter our Presidential recalcitrance for any action.
The forces of injustice are committed offensive on public Voter ID, Medicaid, Taxes, Education, Loans, Racial Justice Act, and environmental (fracking) from their fortress ‘gerrymander’. This is happening big time in North Carolina and we need a big 2014 revolt. Urge the opponent parties to organize for repeal of all these infractions against democracy for by and for the people, the bastion of justice includes us all. United we will not fall to the aristocratic enslavement.
