Hello Carper’s Office?
Uh, yes, could you give Tom Carper my take on the Keystone Pipeline vote?
I’m Against…
Yes, here is my name.
My address….
My email…
Sorry, I don’t give out my phone. This is 2014. I never answer it anyways.
Thank you… Goodbye…

Folks it is that easy and if you don’t do it. at some point in the future, you will wish you had… Did you know that the carbon first crossed 400 ppm last June for the first time EVER (well in 300 million years)? And that this April, ending just last week, the average, the average for the whole entire month, was above that 400 ppm milestone first reached last summer?
=========
There is no way we need more convenient carbon dioxide pumped into our atmosphere…. It is scary, really. We don’t know what could happen. We do know that something really weird happened on Mars… It got warm and lost its atmosphere. So the options of what might happen here, are relatively wide open…..
Just took a second to overlook my blogroll… On Delaware Way, all her posts are about fighting corporate. On Delaware Liberal, fighting corporate. On Delaware Politics… fighting corporate. On Kilroy.. . fighting corporate. On Delaware Right… fighting corporate. On Transparent Christina… fighting corporate…. Delaware Libertarian… fighting corporate…
Why is everyone fighting corporate? Isn’t that what our government is supposed to do?
Why doesn’t it?
Citizen’s United…
Funny how some things are so simple when you just look and don’t really think about it?
Not Nancy’s blog; its awesome. But I am talking about the royalty that runs this state regardless of who gets elected, If a candidate of the people gets in, they are quickly shoved out of viability inside the workings of government and the royalty continues to run things as it wishes.
Our locally elected officials for the most part, actually do try to represent us. And they actually do well representing us on all issues that don’t affect those who think they run things… But go against those, and you get shoved into areas you can do no damage….
Money, influence, status are all the regular clients The “Delaware Way” used to be held up as a good thing… I once believed it was a good thing, as probably did Nancy since it was how she named her blog. The idea was that Democrats and Republicans all got along and got things done for the good of the state, and compared to the breakdown we see daily in Washington DC, that alone does seem to be a benefit….
However, that now seems to have changed. By taking a snapshot of today, their image show “The Delaware Way” is now a group that wants to put in a GIGANTIC power plant 200 yards from Newark’s back yards and doesn’t give a damn how many Newark children die in the process. “The Delaware Way” is now a group that wants to get rid of the Coastal Zone Act, so new polluting industries which can’t get a foothold in any other civilized portion of the planet, can come here and pollute like they could in a third world nation… “The Delaware Way” is now a group that couldn’t care less about segregation, about teaching our children to read or right, about helping in-poverty children learn reading and math, as long as they can get rich off of all their charter schools. “The Delaware Way” wants unions busted; zoning laws gone, conservative dogma taught, and no minimum wage increase until infinity. Today’s “Delaware Way” wants to keep our prisons full, as long as the are privatized and someone gets paid for each incarceration. Today’s “Delaware Way” wants to keep the death penalty, and levy new death penalties on regular citizens by doing nothing to curb the buying or selling of contraband illegal guns. They want to actually make selling stolen guns completely legal… They want to benefit Highmark over Christina Care. They want to charge tolls on all our highways. They don’t want taxes on the rich increased, but lowered. They think today’s middle class earns far too much; they want them poorer…
Their names are familiar. On the national scale they are Tom Carper, John Carney, and Chris Coons. On the state scale they are Gov. Markell, Dave Sokola, Brian Short, Dan Short, Pete Schwartzkoph, Valerie Longhurst… Add names below if you wish….
Instead of change, these people grind down the changes of other well meaning people into dust. A simple rule requiring all schools to put their public board meetings on line, was, since it certainly if publicly voted would have passed, shoved into a drawer to never be seen again… Charter school legislation that will bankrupt every single public school in the state, was drawn up in secret though deemed illegal by the Attorney General’s office of the state, was railroaded through both chambers and signed by the orchestrators above, before anyone knew it was happening… Public schools are stripped of funding, and it was never brought up to the public for debate.
What brought all this up was Connie Merlet’s letter.. published in Nancy’s blog… appropriately titled: The Delaware Way. And it is one tiny piece I wish to draw out… a little statement. a few words strung together that says, so, so much….
“I believe changes were well-intended when the Stars program was envisioned, but it has morphed into a system that has enabled already high-quality day cares to enjoy most of the financial benefits… In conversations with our representatives at both levels, I have realized that they really have no understanding of how that money is actually being used. “
There appears to be a government within our government… One thing is promised and passed and then turned over to be executed. At that point those in the Delaware Way take over, enabling those of privilege get more money, and those in need to become shafted… The legislators, those to whom you throw your vote, for the most part mean well; it is when it gets into the actual bureaucracy that the Delaware Way comes into play. They are the “deciders” as one cowboy once called them.
So no matter what gets passed…. it certainly doesn’t come out the way it was intended… We have a government within our government that does not bode well for the Delaware people. Look at New Castle County under Paul Clark where without brakes of any sort, the Delaware Way had its way…. The elite do what the elite want, despite the fact they only have one vote like everyone else.
John Carney has gotten completely loopy lately. So has Chris Coons. Carper has been pro-elite for a long time now. But their statements in public from these three decrying it is better that they try to get along with our equivalent of Hannibal Lecter, don’t bode well for all of us who are to be his future victims. It appears that their statements still supportive of the Delaware Way, are only meant to have on single purpose….keeping the lambs quiet before their slaughter. ….
Here is a list of states and the breakdowns of how much of a hit to their economies this immediate cut will cause…
Delaware small as it is, stands to lose $875,852… between last Saturday and this past one. By next week, if benefits are not restored by Congress, it will be double that, or around $1.7 million dollars of economic activity that just disappears….
That fails to consider the multiplier effect. Because the unemployed reliably spend all the benefits they get, they create a “multiplier effect” in the economy. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics (MCO), estimates that every dollar of unemployment benefits generates about $1.55 in economic activity.
Applied to Delaware the loss of economic activity jumps to $1.35 million per week, or a total $2.7 million dollars lost by this upcoming weekend.. or the equivalent one summer week’s loss of 900 New 5 BR Bethany Beach House Rentals. with Huge Kitchen & Deck, Comm. Pool & Beaches each week!… or the geographic representation of the loss of every house in Bethany Beach, East of the Coastal Highway between the National Guard Base (north entrance to town) to the high rises of Sea Colony….
Don’t let anyone tell you unemployment benefits are insignificant…
