Wisconsin Recall Vote today: Vote against union-busting Governor Scott Walker

Posted on June 5, 2012 by kwilder

Update on 6/6: Scott Walker survived the recall vote. [One story: here] And, we learned something about Wisconsin political rules. We did not realize that the recall involved an opponent, instead of just a “yes/no” vote. Wonder if that is the best and most democratic way to do a recall? Seems like it was a […]

Posted on February 15, 2012 by kwilder

At LIU Post, educators and community members gathered to discuss the negative impacts of the new scheme in New York to use students’ test scores directly in teacher evaluations.

NY’s Tea Party Guv Gives 1% a Tax Cut

Posted on December 9, 2011 by iwilder

IW: I figured it was the media swallowing NY Guv Cuomo’s PR wholesale when they were reporting he was hiking taxes on the wealthy.  Cuomo got elected with contributions from the Koch Bros.  Cuomo stated before taking office that the rich are taxed too much already.  Cuomo refused to ever discuss repealing the rebate of the stock transfer […]

NY, Don’t Get Suckered by a Fracking Distraction in NJ

Posted on November 20, 2011 by iwilder

IW:  I was at an environmental meeting tonight and people were talking about an urgent meeting we all had to go to tomorrow in New Jersey to prevent fracking in New York.  None of them seemed to understand what the meeting was about, but insisted it was the way to stop fracking in NY.  I […]

Posted on October 18, 2011 by kwilder

Update on 10/19/2011: While one organization tried to honor Andrew Cuomo, Occupy Wall Street protesters gathered outside. An attendee, feminist author Naomi Wolf, realized their point, and she was arrested for standing on the sidewalk to draw attention to Cuomo’s objection to the millionaire’s tax. Great video! She was arrested in her fancy dress for […]

Credo lies about Funding Pro-War Politicians

Posted on August 13, 2011 by iwilder

Credo mobile, the cell phone company has a brochure out that says they don’t back pro-war politicians.  That’s a lie.  They back Obama. they back Clinton.  they back Pelosi. All of them are just as much, if not more, pro-war than the picture of Michelle Bachman they put on the cover of the brochure. Credo […]

IW: Anyone willing to chip in for the “Don’t blame me , I voted Green Party” bumper stickers. 1. Andrew Cuomo, New York. I know, I know, he just passed marriage equality, right?

Activists Frack Themselves

Posted on June 30, 2011 by iwilder

During last year’s election, anti-fracking activists wasted time protesting Andrew Cuomo.  He could care less.  All he cared about was money and votes, and they did not get in the way of either.  Fracking activists ignored calls to raise funds for and get votes for fracking-ban governor candidates like the Green Party’s Howie Hawkins.  Now […]

NYS had Same-Sex Marriage since 2002

Posted on June 29, 2011 by iwilder

We have not had same-sex weddings because of the cowardice of Spitzer, Paterson and Cuomo. The New York State constitution was changed to be gender neutral in 2002.  At that point, marriage was no longer dependent on the gender of the participants. No State law, including domestic relations law required the parties to be married to be […]
