A Note . . .

. . . to fans of 'He who speaks yet says nothing' . . .

(from http://famguardian.org/Subjects/Politics/thomasjefferson/jeff1350.htm)
". . . An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens. . . " - Thomas Jefferson

. . . and if I may ad, a serious candidate for government office must also be 'educated sufficiently'. . .

Survey . . .

I am all for ending Citizens United and I don't mind taking a survey or signing a petition. Heck, I might even contribute to such an effort when my personal finances allow. . .

BUT. . .

. . . When you want me to participate in a survey, MAKE IT A SURVEY! Do NOT disguise your solicitation for a contribution as a SURVEY! That’s called DISHONEST. It’s kind of like. . .

THE KOCH BROTHERS!!!

Blues . . .

Certain things in life are just irrefutable
Such as justice, sunshine, truth and peace and love

Events, good or bad, seem to happen in threes
But this one, I wish happens in twos

When the fat lady sings
I hope she'll be singing the blues

Who Says . . .

. . . we don't need change in Washington . . .

(http://www.newsweek.com/saudi-arabia-911-george-w-bush-barack-obama-prince-bandar-bin-sultan-bob-297170)
". . . “I’m embarrassed that they’re not declassified,“ former Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind) said at a press conference with his co-chair Tom Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. “I assumed all along that our records would be public—all of them, everything. And when I learned that a number of documents were classified or were even redacted, I was surprised and disappointed. I am embarrassed to be associated with a work product that is secret.” . . . "

. . . then . . .

". . . Hamilton told Newsweek that he did not favor declassification of the 28 pages from the congressional investigation, just his own 9/11 Commission report. “I do not favor the declassification” of the the congressional probe’s pages, he said in a telephone interview. He added that he had "never read" that section of the other probe and “I don’t know what’s in it….No one ever came to me and said you ought to read these pages.” (He later amended that to say, “I can’t say I’ve never read them; I have no recollection of having read them.”) He evinced no interest in reading them now. “I haven't asked. I don’t think I would,” he said. “It depends on the terms of classification.". . . "
