Where were you when the New Civil War started?

   There is in this Country and in Our own State an underestimated swelling of people demanding a government that is representative of the people. For the powers that be to overlook this fact is to their own detriment. Though it is to your advantage. The idea has not yet fixed itself in the mind of the politician that not only can we decipher facts, we can make choices based on facts. Their lies are as transparent as their thin Onion skin and their facts are just as odorous. An example: King Paul Lepage says, "the public employee stands to gain 2% in their pay next year by ending the furlough days," (which had been proposed to save the State money). Never stating that He is taking 2% from all the State workers as part of his Pension Theft Plan. This 2% he will take from people's paychecks will never even go into the pension fund, it will go into the General fund. Yet we are to believe it is reform. Do any of you know that The State of Maine does not pay into Social Security, like our employers do, like we do? We pay about 6.2% of our pay to S.S. and our Employer matches that with another 6.2%. In the State of Maine a retirement system is used instead of S.S. The State only pays 5.5%(which it has not been paying) and the employee pays 7.2% of their check in. The State has a better deal then all of the Private sector companies. Yet they are pretending like the people are the burden. So now King PAUL says: 'We will make them Pay 9.2% of the pay into the pension, but we will reform the pension by upping the retirement age and canceling cost of living increases. That way we can take these projected savings, apply them to the Pension system and keep the 2% that we take out of the employees' pay checks right in the general fund.' People, I ask you, How is this Not Theft?.
        If anything, business should be up in arms demanding a better deal, or joining the State plan so they too could pay only 5.5% of their employees' retirement. But, alas no, they will be happy to get Huge depreciation tax breaks on equipment and that whooping one sixth of one percent tax cut that will help all of us so much. When the People finally wake up to the fact that the RED AGENDA is a Corporate push to remove the people completely from their Government, it will be War. Our form of Government exists, Of the people, by the people and for the people. What they are planning looks nothing like that. It looks more like: Of their money, for their money, Buy their product. The end product is the consumption of YOU.
       The tea party keeps trying to push the idea upon me that workers in Unions are communists. I have a hard time swallowing that. Under their Idea, every group that negotiates a discount on insurance or by buying something in bulk would be communist. Thus, Walmart is the Biggest communist faction in the nation without a union. This may be, for crushing other businesses till they are the only one seems to be their agenda and at all costs, even when it means losing money.
None of our current Problems stem from the people of this country not contributing their fair share. Yes there are some free riders: welfare, criminals riding along in prisons, mental incompetents that can not work or contribute. Though for the most part these free riders and their costs could be absorbed by the population. ALL of our problems come from the chronic waste of poor government. The waste of expedience and the theft of Corporations and their lobbyists.  Our problems stem from the choice of wars paid for on a credit card. With no Country, NO Corporation held accountable for the debt. No, instead the Corporations collected interest on the debt and we just casually called them Bailouts. The lies are great and growing. As these people try to blow smoke into Our eyes so we no longer see the truth, I would say where there is smoke there is Fire. It is Time for the People to rush toward the Fire despite the smoke. Beat the fire out, hose it down, set counter fires to remove fuel that allows the fire to spread, dig trenches and fire lines. But for the sake of God and Country, for the Love of our children and our Lives, to save the REPUBLIC stand up now. Armed with truth and your rights to YOUR GOVERNMENT.
                           I thank all of you who turned out yesterday at the State House. 500+ realize that the real war has started. Spread the word, grow your numbers or lose your State, and then your Country. The Choice is yours it always has been.        
      Be well, do good work, Keep thinking.   Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page
                                                                                   

A People Without Place; The Waste of a State and a Nation

    Let there be no doubt, when Americans are pushed they can become innovative and motivated. At the same time Americans when pushed can be masters of destruction, waste and hate. I sense that in fear, with great haste we are moving away from the innovative creative source of America and toward a wasted useless past. When hate and division spring eternal, all hope is lost. Many of our leaders today have only their pet-like private agenda, there is never a truth or a greater good. Just a selfishness that is rotten and wanting of place. How can a bunch of middle aged men stand in front of a country and justify talking about women's rights and abortions. The bastards will never need one, unless of course they get their young mistress pregnant, then I'm sure ever so discretely it's off to some other country and done. This business is that of the women of a nation. It never was and never is to be ours.   To waste Our nations time ripping at our own, working on wasteful legislation and propagandizing the entire time is a crime against this Nation. The lies pile up, as does the true work of this great country. Ignorance is no excuse and the people of this nation are not for the government's personal use.
       I was talking with a fine Republican today, and he acted as if we should not have to worry about the Chinese Communist ripping off our technology, that in fact if they would just play fair, and make our products we would be okay. Well, I am not really one who spouts off for protectionist measures but for the life of me I can not understand what we don't get about Communism. China, unlike the Russians when they were the USSR,  are in the free market, without being free. Their rules are theirs and we play by an entirely different set.  If you think for one minute that American corporations doing business in China are doing America a service, you may as well go join the communist party. Their intent is to bury you under a land fill of your own greed and debt. All the while keeping their people working and fed, thus calm and under control. Their melt down will never come with American Business there to feed them all our technology and all our money and jobs. Russia did not get American business to save its Communist Structure, so it fell apart. It was never a matter of tearing down a wall. It is not giving them any business, not upgrading their equipment. Keeping them out of the technological divide did Russian Communism in.
        The truth today is that an ever increasing drive for more profit has put the very Idea of a free country, with liberty and justice for all in danger. Why should you have a share in my profit? As you are my tool, so I shall keep you until, our very government is reduced to a mere board of directors waiting for the final fall of the Stock market. The consumption of corporate goods does not make a government. Having Our government in sexual relationships with corporate America does not breed a just, fair, equitable or caring people. On the contrary it breeds the worst of a destructive democracy. This build up is the end all, with the loss of Our government its main end.  We could go on and on with analysis, but it will come out the same. If we continue to remove the individual from our state and place our trust in an ever growing corporate government, we are lost and powerless.
            So, when your government tells you "it is going to deregulate" it is going to "cut programs" it is going to "attract business," look out. This is when you must assert yourselves the most. Let it be known under no circumstances are you ready to surrender: your rights, your government, and your Country, to some outside entity on blind faith that they will not treat you as they always have- a profit preventative unit of labor.
                                             Good luck and God's speed to the right
                                                      Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page
