400,000 Americans from Unemployment Insurance to Welfare while Congress Vacations

April 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Dear Mr. President, government

How about we stop funding the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan which isn’t in the budget until we begin to fund Unemployment INSURANCE once again… Today 400,000 American will no longer get unemployment because congress is on vacation… So what is left for these Americans who were at one time employed? I guess they are headed for welfare state of tent cities for those who haven’t figured out how to rip off the system and the middle class!

Dear Mr. President, standing by Geithner you have got to be kidding; time for him to go!

January 27th, 2010 · No Comments · Arthur Klein, Conscious Business, Dear Mr. President, Review & Op Ed, corruption, government, historical

Dear Mr. President,

After watching Timothy Geithner testify today, I am appalled & quickly losing my respect & support for you & your administration. I hate the alternative but you are not doing the people’s bidding & you are not protecting us from the true evil forces that would have us enslaved….

This morning Geithner’s disrespect for our Congress, his hiding behind his office instead of elevating the office by full disclosure of what has actually happened with AIG & Goldman Sachs is disgusting. The government should represent us ;not just as citizens, but as investors in this debacle & we should be given full disclosure all the way back to the beginning history of these companies, if that is what we require to regain trust as investors & in trust in you & your administration. (see video from today 2010-01-27 Congress)

After this morning’s testimony the world now sees this smug, lying, SOB who considers himself above it all, by his stance, demeanor & holier-than-thou self serving attitude in the guise of public good, to this display of disrespect, I am personally sickened. Remember this is the guy who couldn’t even pay his own taxes and he was still confirmed. What is that about?

The biggest problem today is your credibility. As long as you stand behind secretary Geithner & Fed chair Bernanke you will be perceived as part of this incredibly corrupt aristocratic & self serving system… Their actions have given you an out in reference to your responsibility to them… I believe that this is the universe throwing you a life line to get out of your misjudgments in appointing Geithner & in your support of Bernanke confirmation in the first place. If both of these despicable individuals wanted to help this country they would resign & make it an easier transition for you, back to the perception of Barack Obama as the President of the People.

Dear Mr. President, It saddens me deeply to write this letter

January 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Arthur Klein, Conscious Business, Dear Mr. President, Review & Op Ed, corruption, government

When you ran for the office of president of the United States, you had me at hello and now you are losing me as you take care of big money, big banks and Wall street bailouts, with no oversight. All this can be seen as pandering to the ruling class (big bonuses, wasteful spending and an arrogance by the very rich)… We the middle class soon to be the poverty class have been left behind. We are in an emergency situation fighting for our survival… We don’t have the luxury of patients… We need help yesterday and have been ignored while the rich go on with their lives saying that things will end as we know it if we don’t bend over once again.

Request to Save Democracy from Alan Grayson Dem. of Florida

January 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Conscious Business, corruption, government, historical

Last week, five Supreme Court Justices stabbed at the heart of democracy, our electoral system.

They overturned over 100 years of statute and precedent, and declared that corporations can spend all the money that they want to buy elections. In fact, these five men in robes declared, they have a constitutional right to do so.

Now, we have to fight.

Dear Mr. President Obama, Geithner must go NOW!

January 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Dear Mr. President, corruption, government

Dear Mr. President

If you want to save your credibility as a “change we can believe in president”, Geithner must go. He Represents all that is wrong with the Fed, Banking, Big Business & Wall Street and their embezzlement of the American people; your people.
