Another Tar Sands Oil Spill
by J Stepper • • 0 Comments
Tar sands oil. The nastiest of the nasty oils. To get it to run through the pipes, it has to be thinned with extremely toxic and caustic chemicals. Caustic as in the chemicals eat through the pipes that are carrying it. It does more environmental damage, smells worse, and is impossible to clean up when it spills, and spill it will.
The tar sands oil spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2010 still hasn’t been cleaned up. The GOP’s Keystone XL Pipeline Lies
Now we have another spill. This time in a middle class development in Mayflower, Arkansas. The video below shows it all.

Paul Ryan’s budget undermines the best of America
by J Stepper • • 0 Comments
By Sister Simone Campbell:
“Last year, some of my sisters and I became known as the Nuns on the Bus. Together, we journeyed through many parts of America to raise awareness of the plight of working poor families and the threat Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget posed to them and to our country as a whole. Last week, Rep. Ryan unveiled his new Republican budget. It is a budget that rewards wealth instead of work; one that reflects the worst of Ayn Rand as it undermines the best of America. It will take from working poor families to spend more on the wealthy, and it won’t even reduce the national debt.

“Earlier this month, during one of his new across-the-aisle good-will tours, President Obama pleaded with Senate Republicans to ease up on their record number of filibusters of his nominees. He might as well have been talking to one of the statues in the Capitol. Republicans have made it clear that erecting hurdles for Mr. Obama is, if anything, their overriding legislative goal.
