Prince Spaghetti is the Choice of Social Security Preservationists Everywhere

Today I'll be taking the fight to preserve Social Security (I love that framing) to the mean streets of central Bucks County!  The Middletown Grange Fair (cows, games, tractors, politics, water purifier salespeople) starts today.   PA Action has a table there dedicated to Social Security and Medicare Part D.    We're giving out the balloons pictured above because you aren't allowed to solicit anywhere at the fair except at your designated site.   The balloons are the best way to get your message off-site.   Tie'em to little wrists and strollers and voila, everyone is seeing "Hands Off My Social Security!" 

The Dems and the Republicans were the ones to pioneer this idea as far as I know.  When I wanted to know how many balloons to order, I called both local party offices.  The Republicans refused to tell me how many balloons they use during an average fair.  The Dems told me without any question.  2000 balloons!   

So we're armed with 2000 political message balloons and a huge tank of helium in the heart of Bucks County.   With this we will save Social Security.   I'll bring back photos and stories.  And fried Oreos.  Lots of fried Oreos.

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
