Did you know that in 1995, Joe Lieberman actually sought to abolish the filibuster? In 1995, Sen. Lieberman co-sponsored legislation to stop abuse of the filibuster in the U.S. Senate. The bill, co-sponsored with Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), would have ended the filibuster as we know it, making it easier to pass legislation through […]

This should be played on the Senate floor for all to see. Senator Lieberman along of many Senators paid off by the insurance companies have sold their souls. In the process many Americans will die for the policies they refuse to let get effected. Viewers are encouraged to subscribe and join the conversation for more insightful commentary […]

It is shameful that our Congress will not pass a similar Windfall Tax on these guys. After all were it not for taxpayer money, they would have no bonuses. While many are quick to hold the lower classes responsible for their failings and make any temporary handouts to them a negative issue, the lack of […]

Until America wakes up and understand what insurance companies are doing to healthcare we will continue our downward spiral. In a boost for the Senate health care deal reached yesterday, Howard […]

Many are ashamed to be associated with this […]

  This is a woman sticking up for her morals. If more people had the courage to really fight the system we would be better off. It is sad that Bank of America who survived because of US Tax Payer dollars is so predatory. Jackie you will land on your feet and I do not […]
