The One MUST SEE Graphic That Will Shake Any Progressive From Their Complacency About 2012

[Swede Atlanta]

21. The Court is the real lasting legacy of continuous control....

of the Presidency and/or the Senate....

The Court shapes our lives in fundamental ways that acts of Congress don't. They determine whether a police search is allowed, what rights a suspect has, whether a city can confiscate your property to sell to a private party for profit. They decide if African-Americans and Caucasians can marry, whether contraception must be legal, whether the state can intrude into the bedroom, the uterus, the room of a dying cancer victim.

These are the "big" items. Make no doubt about it, a victory by RMoney would be bad enough but a RMoney presidency combined with Republican control of the Senate would be devastating. The conservative majority on the Court would be further strengthened for at least 15 to 20 years.

We would see a further erosion to Roe v. Wade. The Republicans are not serious about overturning Roe V. Wade because it is a wedge issue they can use with the knuckle-draggers of their base. Corporations and the wealthy would continue their domination to the point of outright Oligarchy. We might see a return to company towns where individuals are forced to live in company housing, buy goods at company stores, buy services from company providers, etc. all with the result of maximizing corporate profits and minimizing individual choice.

We would see further erosion of worker's rights, civil rights for minorities of all stripes including the LGBT community. We would see a destruction of laws intent on protecting the environment, providing for clean air, water, food, medicine, etc.

This would be a total victory for greed, corruption and bigotry.

Think about it. The choice is ours.
