As you know, radiation knows no borders. VT Yankee is just over the Mass. border in Vernon, Vermont right on the shore of the Connecticut River. It is the same type of old sketchy BWR reactor that continues to meltdown in Fukushima. So is the Pilgrim nuke in Plymouth. These old nukes are a threat to all of us!

Of course, pledge drives could be our future!

Americathon (1979): in a story told in narrative flashbacks, a young TV consultant is hired by the President of a bankrupt USA to organize a telethon in order to prevent the country from being repossessed by wealthy Native Americans.

Paying for Government With Pledge Drives

Nat Fortune — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:42:12 GMT

We shouldn't be trying to pay for needed state services through pledge drives but instead, insist on fair and equal contributions from those of equal means. The voluntary higher income tax rate box is a gimmick--- anybody see an option to pay higher sales taxes at your local corner store? Or better yet, an option to not waive taxes on MA registered Wall Street investment banks offering mutual funds? $150 Million a year to companies cutting 25 - 50% of their MA jobs! And we should ask volunteers to pick up the burden State Street, Putnam and Fidelity refuse to share?

Taxation through Pledge Drive? Seriously?

Thanks Scott I'll check it out

Agreed - Jill needs to get moving on that.

Republican Ram Rod Radio — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:48:08 GMT

I don't think she's hiding anything, and for all I know she may be working on it right now. But I agree with you in that since Obama and Romney released their info, (and becaue she wants to compete with them) she needs to release her info as ASAP.

The Two NON-nominees have already released theirs. Transparency, Greens?

I'm more interested in 2010 and 2011.
Mostly I'm just surprised that they haven't been released yet. Neither Romney nor Obama are even their party nominees, and they have done so.

"And you never ever try to read your speech of a freaking phone"

Republican Ram Rod Radio — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 13:36:33 GMT

LOL I know! That was crazy ...

And Horan ... I DO want to hang out now! We can get 3 tickets to Farheen's next speech and we'll call her cell while she's trying to deliver it! We'll make Eli sit in the middle so he can get out of the row ... and see if he breaks down and rats us out. I'd love to see the guy stand up and say "OK these are the A-Holes that keep calling Farheen's cell. God I hate these guys!"

And that was a great catch BTW ...

Republican Ram Rod Radio — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 13:16:00 GMT

Farheen Hakeem sounds like a blast at a party. Imagine how fun it would be to set her off!

Pretend you don't see her and when she's close enough ... put on a fake Southern accent and say "Roseanne Barr as head of the Green Party ... why I'd never!"

Now we just need to help Eli see the light.

Republican Ram Rod Radio — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 13:08:49 GMT

I hate to see the kid put in so much effort for these clowns. I think he would be great working for the Republican Party! I'm trying to recruit him. All the other Republicans at HQ are interested and I promised them that I'd have the guy on board in a couple more months.

Roseanneand her cohort make Stein and Co. look like Obama-Axelrod

michael horan — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 02:23:29 GMT

Yikes. Calling out Manski from the podium? This looks like WAY more fun than our tedious GRP Conventions.

Greens need to learn some basics, though. You don't let the cameria capture empty seats in the front row. Ouch. And you never ever try to read your speech of a freaking phone. Embarassing to have those gaps.

Roseanne and her cohort were simply embarassing. I did follow some similar stuff on the GPUS FB page.Insults flying hot and heavy.

Good, though, that she brought up the Palestinians, since that's a front-burner issue for so many Americans...

How often do you think Jill Stein uses drugs?
