Instead of giving Rush or the Repug "Mis-Leaders" Air Time, Come to the Streets, Be Real Journalists ....Talk to the Real People...Come talk to us about WHAT we are going through....Come ask us about trying to pay Bills ? How Many Part Time Jobs we have that pay mininum wage so that we can pay our Bills ? How Many of us have NO Health Insurance ? How Many are Under-Insured , what kind of Stories do they have ? How Many have lost Jobs ? How many have lost Homes ? How many have Lost Retirement Savings ?How many are caring for Older of Sick family Members ? How Many have College Age Children that are putting off College because of the Economy ?
Report OUR Stories with Dignity and Truth..... Come to my hood...I got Stories....and most of my Neighbors do as well....So here is MY Idea...IF they , the Media won't Come to Us...it's time to Write Our Own History, Our Own Stories....Tell them here, or Write them to MSNBC, or tell them on your Blogs....Make Videos...Take Photos ...Document OUR History...After 8 years of hell , it is Time to Tell OUR Story and the Truth......
There is Plenty down below about the Economy....and Obama's Battles with the Rethugs...and more...

Very good... I wish they would.. but they won't come to us.. we will have to go to them. Either to them or to our Representatives. That's what I did was send to the Reps... I don't know if it helps but if enough of us does it might.. I don't know.
575,000 jobs lost again.. they are proud... it was down some.. geeze

I don't know what helps...I am encouraging people to call Bonehead...as he is the rep for Ohio and also the minority-and since he made a BIG stink...
Bloomberg::::
Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits soared to a record, as companies slash jobs to lower costs in a deepening recession.
Continuing claims for benefits rose to 4.776 million in the week ended Jan. 17, the highest since record-keeping started in 1967, the Labor Department said today in Washington. First-time filings increased 3,000 to 588,000 in the week ended Jan. 24.
Thousands of job cuts announced earlier this week at Caterpillar Inc., Target Corp. and other companies suggest unemployment may climb further. Federal Reserve policy makers yesterday voted to keep the central bank’s target interest rate at zero to 0.25 percent and noted employment is among the measures that have declined “steeply.”
“The job market is pretty awful,” William Cheney, chief economist at John Hancock Financial Services Inc. in Boston, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. “You’ve got job losses feeding into sales losses.”
I thought things would get worse, but the jaw dropping rate in which jobs are vanishing this week & month alone is catastrophic.
It is just a matter of time before unemployment insurance monies run dry. It was never designed to sustain this volume of unemployed.
I would be rattling Boehner- aka Bonehead's cage & making a fuss if he were my Congressman as well.
He is dilusional--
his website has this headline
Boehner: “This Was a Bipartisan Rejection of a Partisan Bill”
Nothing bipartisan about it-- the dems voted YES & the GOP voted NO every one of them.
Where does he derive "bipartisan" in this scenario???
Is he up for reelection in 2010???
Hope so- he should join the ranks of the unemployed. A hefty serving of reality for him!
I like your idea of having a focus on the people & their real life struggles.
Indy media or PBS might do a documentary.... maybe local college students?
Oh! Michael Moore!
Contact him to conduct a We the People documentary.
A slice of real life America circa 2009.
He could pull it off.
Feel free to contact him this am if you have time.
WE need to tell the peoples story.
thanks Fran...
great idea...
am working on it...
about the jobs...well, interesting enough in the Package- it addresses state's needs regarding unemployment issues ( which says to me that Obama has amazing insight to HOW bad this is...)
and yeah. it is bad...
The predicter's the ones who are supposed to know so damn much continue to miss on the low side.
They don't have a clue and it's the rate that things are happening that is so alarming.
No matter what is done this may not be able to be stopped.
If you are listening to the presser.. did you hear David Corn's question?? Cantor sending an email about the Prez and Gibbs sending hate emails about the Reepubs??? WTF is that all about?? Cantor is an ass...
