Bernie Sanders: TPP Trade Deal a ‘Disaster’
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-tpp-trade-deal-a-disaster

"Not So Fast" - A leading opponent of the trade deal, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday did his best to slow down the process by at least temporarily shutting down a committee hearing called to consider the fast-track bill. "I think it's time we slowed down fast track," Sanders said. "It is basically insane to keep going with the same type of trade policy that has failed and failed and failed."

K-SICK BUDGET 2015

Hi all! Long time no see! We're still in Da Cleve making things happen to move the ball forward
But former fox news dude turned guvner ALEC-funded K-SICK will release his 2-year budget in his State-of-da-State speechifying soon. But we'll bet DA HOUSE he WON'T MENTION THIS.


Harvey Wasserman @ NukeFree.org
Ohio’s Anti-Green Suicide

Some snips:


• The $600 million spent on replacement power could have funded an opening transition to a renewable economy. Instead, fires, operator error and chronic malfunctions continue to define Davis-Besse’s public-sponsored dotage. Designed in the 1960s and opened in the late 1970s, Davis-Besse threatens the entire Great Lakes region.
• In short, Davis-Besse is being run by owners who believe—with good reason—that they can get away with anything. Perhaps that’s because, should it blow, FirstEnergy is shielded by federal law from virtually all liability for downwind financial, ecological and human health damage, which would be incalculable. So now the company wants the public pay still more billions to keep Davis-Besse operating, no matter the consequences.
• Republican Governor John Kasich’s first act upon taking office in 2011 was to kill a $400 million federal grant meant to restore passenger rail service linking Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Virtually unique among the western world’s capital cities, the last passenger train left Columbus in 1979.
• But as Koch-funded Republicans took control of the state in 2010, Ohio became the first American state to roll back its green power program. Rampant fracking has brought increased seismic activity and destroyed much of the state’s drinking water. Ohio’s ancient coal burners are being propped up with public cash. Its dying nukes—Perry was the first U.S. reactor to be damaged by an earthquake—continue to operate at huge public danger and expense.
• Ohio’s PUC will soon decide on this latest scam to squander still more public money on its cancerous fleet of fossil/nuke dinosaurs. If they cave once again to the corporate interests, you can officially consign the Buckeye State to the radioactive ash heap of failed technological, ecological and economic history.

Go read all of this! We're being taken to the cleaners by FirstEnergy and their ilk with TAXPAYER DOLLARS as their backstop. No insurance company in the world will ensure a nuke plant - see the Price-Anderson Act of 1957, United States The Price-Anderson Act, originally enacted by Congress in 1957, limits the liability of the nuclear industry in the event of a nuclear accident in the United States. At the dawn of the nuclear industry in the USA, no private insurance company willingly underwrote a nuclear power plant fully. The lack of financial security would have hindered the development of the nuclear industry. The federal government intervened with this amendment to the 1946 Atomic Energy Act (AEA). )

And with 2/3 of the OH legislature in ALEC hands it's Hell's Bells!
GET BUSY!
Call someone ANYONE! Yer representatives at Da State House!
Yer local councilpeeps esp near Davis-Besse (TOL OH area) and Perry (CLE OH and Lake County)
Call all yer peeps and tell THEM to call too!

We grew up with a Perry "warning" siren directly across the street from our house when Perry was built and went on-line and is there to this day and fires off spook bomb raid sirens on Wednsdays the 3rd week of every month at 10 am MONTHLY since and to this day.
From Richard Zimmerman Cleveland d Architecture at examiner.com
....... The construction permit for this facility in the semi-rural community of North Perry, Ohio was first issued in May of 1977, but it wasn’t until over 9 years later, in November of 1986, that the plant actually began generating electricity for its owner, FirstEnergy. ......


This is just ONE EVIL in K-SICK's budget. See how many more corporate giveaways you all can find!

GET PROACTIVE & PLAN AHEAD: The RNC Klown Kar will be here in CLE OH in 2016. The BillORightsMan Free Speech Camping Zone is now accepting applications! Send us a message to pre-order yer slot!
If COL OH lands the DEM Convention LOOK OUT!
OHIO IMMEDIATELY BECOMES A FREE SPEECH ZONE!
(and the attendant military reaction the status quo demand and arm at the same time)
We are all DON'T SHOOT.
