In 1895, new New York City police commissioner Teddy Roosevelt, attacked both rogue cops and urban slumlords as soon as he got on the job, before seeking higher office or heading the Bull Moose ticket in 1912. In the TR bio, Theodore Roosevelt: A Strenuous Life, TR's urban reform actions contrast starkly with local NW police accountability and anti-slumlord (in)action by local government.
Under Obama, Wall Street made a 47% increase in profits from 2009 to 2010. Yet, the 99ers and other job seekers continue to try to deal with losing apartments and homes, selling off cars, trying to sell blood plasma and possessions, while applying for jobs that don't exist. In Portland, Oregon, an effort is being made to fight for workers and fight evictions via a new Unemployed Workers Council.
On September 1, 2010, TriMet, according to one source a $2.5 billion transit agency, is set to cutback on 60 bus routes and implement a five cents per ride fare hike.

"Instead of real growth, the financial sector has only promoted phantom growth. The state functions differently than a family. Less should be spent for unproductive purposes like wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and unconditional bank bailout packages. Financial management is a means to an end and not an end-in-itself.."

When purveyors of lies, scams, frauds, and crackpot notions get the truth about what they peddle exposed in a big way, very often the liars will scream in anger and frustration, often because having their lies and crimes exposed adversely impacts their revenues.
Freedom of speech includes consumer advocacy, and any crook trying to sell the rubes, marks, and gullible suckers a bill of goods needs to be exposed soundly and widely.

Tre Arrow, Activism in the Post 911 World
A Christian view of the person that insists on an undeserved right to life opposes a merciless system that produces more and more wealth for a few and forces more and more people into poverty. The narrowing of work to paid work must be broken by the new model of work for all. The three kinds of income must be reconfigured in a new social contract.
Gresham Officer Garrison searched my 14 daughter, commented on her bra,hand cuffed her and placed her in the back of his patrol car, even atfer he called me and was aware I was in route to pick her up. I didn't arrive until after 11pm so he had her in custody prior to curfew. I believe he abused his power of an officer of the law, because of his knowledge of me and my family. She has never broke any laws her violation was curfew and he gave me a $720 for failure to supervise when I had asked for police help to locate her ealier that day. Since she was not a run away they would not assist. what more could I do. She not a bad child.

The following post is taken from the angry arab blog. Usually As`ad Abukhalil, a Lebanese-American professor of political science at California State University, has a link to the source of an article, in this post he does not. I cannot find any other news sources in English referring to this.
The lack of any other coverage is surprising?

"On a range of issues including accountability for torture, detention of terrorism suspects, and use of lethal force against civilians, there is a very real danger that the Obama administration will enshrine permanently within the law policies and practices that were widely considered extreme and unlawful during the Bush administration."

"And by doling out money in direct assistance rather than focusing on long-term development, President Chávez is masking poverty rather than curing it, according to economist Orlando Ochoa of Venezuela's Catholic University. "Oil wealth can be used to transform and improve the economic base of a country, as has been done in Norway. Or, it can be used to compensate for economic imbalances, thereby prolonging the pain, as has been done in Venezuela and Iran," he said. "
One of the ways you may be able to receive some help to get college loans for students with bad credit is if the student themselves have excelled in academics and have maintained a high grade point average (GPA). This sometimes gives the college or university the leverage they need to offer a scholarship, additional grants, work study or ijn some cases, can even establish the fact to the lender, that although this is a college loan for a student with bad credit and no cosigner, the probability the student would attend college and receive their degree is very high.

In a large part of the population, there is a consensus that capitalism has no answers to the great social challenges of social security, hunger and climate change. An alternative investment program (emphasizing children, culture and climate, not Keynes, war and competition) gives a long-term answer to the current unavoidable challenges facing humanity.
A judge in California named Vaughn Walker ruled in his state that California's voter approved ban on gay marriage irrationally discriminates against gay men and women. This is launching a war from opponents to gay marriage which could go as far as the Supreme Court.

The USA's first proposed Climate Refuge, the Siskiyou Crest National Monument, is in need of preservation and permanent protection of this unique wilderness.

"Thor Halvorssen, president of the Washington- based Human Rights Foundation, is one of those who expects the worst from Chávez. Despite the Nordic name, he has close ties to Venezuelans and is a Bolívar descendent. Halvorssen wrote another critique of the Venezuelan economic system that appeared Monday in The Huffington Post." ... The finances of the Fuerzas Armadas is based primarily on drug smuggling and protecting local cartel operations. This may have been one reason that the Cuban news service Prensa Latina issued a distorted report when the Costa Rican legislature gave routine approval for U.S ships on drug patrol to dock at local ports, mostly for shore leave.
The approval listed all the 46 U.S. ships that have even the remotest chance of visiting Costa Rica, so Prensa Latina suggested a U.S. invasion or base here. That false claim found quick acceptance in leftist publications and online outlets in the United States. Expats in Costa Rica have yet to see any of the 7,000 U.S. Marines that Prensa Latina promised. But leftists in the legislature have appealed the approval to the Sala IV constitutional court. Some see the shrilled response by Chávez and his allies to the expulsion of José Manuel Zelaya from Honduras June 28, 2009, as related partly to the drug trade. Honduras had become wide open to key illegal sea and air transport routes. (1)

![]() Not one single terrorist do I see in these picture! There are hundreds of pictures and first hand stories from Afghanistan. Most are stories of about innocent people dieing .... who is killing these kids ....? The US military is directly responsible, the blood is on their hands. But the whole (sic)US Government approves of it and allows it year after year after year.
"Secretary Gates could have used his time, as other nations have done, to announce a broad inquiry into these killings," the statement said. "He could have announced specific criminal investigations into the deaths we have exposed. He could have announced a panel to hear the heartfelt dissent of U.S. soldiers, who know this war from the ground. He could have apologized to the Afghani people.
"But he did none of these things. He decided to treat these issues and the countries affected by them with contempt. Instead of explaining how he would address these issues, he decided to announce how he would suppress them. "This behavior is unacceptable. We will not be suppressed. We will continue to expose abuses by this administration and others."
