0 Chris Dodd Petition Thoughts, quote

The problem with our government and society is that it allows bribery, coercion, blackmail, extortion, etc.. to thrive, calling it business as usual, expected, precedented, so fourth to legitimize the actions and to allow them to flourish; however, if the people can't even recognize clear and blatant bribery/coercion, and so fourth, how can we expect to be govern in a just fashion.
Saying that we won't support Obama's administration or government officials is absurdly different than saying that they (MPAA) are watching everyone's every move and if they don't gain the results they want, they will go nuclear with their bank accounts. This is openly bribing government officials through financial coercion for a specific gain. It is a threat because they aren't withdrawing their support outright, they are using it as leverage to coerce government officials into a specific behavior to dictate legislation. Sigh.
I really feel sorry for our future if people are so apathetic to their rights and freedoms and blatantly don't comprehend the blatant misuse of power for illegal means by those with power.
Oh wells, those are my thoughts.
Take care,

As stated in petition:
Recently on FOX News former Senator Chris Dodd said (as quoted on news site TechDirt), "Those who count on quote 'Hollywood' for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who's going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don't ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don't pay any attention to me when my job is at stake," This is an open admission of bribery and a threat designed to provoke a specific policy goal. This is a brazen flouting of the "above the law" status people of Dodd's position and wealth enjoy.

We demand justice. Investigate this blatant bribery and indict every person, especially government officials and lawmakers, who is involved.
Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly admited to bribing politicans to pass legislation

0 Medicare, Social Security cuts, Commentary

Where our country is heading is starting to get ridiculous (sadly so); They want to start making cuts to the Social Security/Medicare system (seeking 4 trillion dollars worth of funds (perhaps, elsewhere too- not sure)) in order to not default on our nation's debt, sigh; the same debt that, most likely, involved the bailout of corporations and businesses that misused funds. Some would say that Obama is bluffing (as if this was a poker game) with the lives of our people over tax hikes, but, would that make it any better? What if they call his bluff (if it even is one) what then? Sigh.

What will happen to all the elderly, all the disabled, all the people who depend on the small, monthly checks that they get from the government for their livelihood; the people who depend on medicare for their insurance. Are we going to start seeing elderly homeless, disabled homeless, people dying left and right, if this came to past?

Of course, they would never suggest that: the politicians and government officials that makes over a certain amount be cut, which would be the logical choice; they make far to much already, but, the question remains: will anyone do anything about it? You always hear people complaining about the amount of spending and paychecks that the government uses every day, yet you never see anyone doing anything to regulate it. We are suppose to be a country for the people/by the people/for the people, yet, our freedoms are slipping away from us; so, what do we do? 

Food-for-thought: Take care,
