GLOBAL WARMING & FAMILY VALUES: ELECT A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE MAJORITY


 (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
The Democrats are the TRUE PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES – long promoting policies to help ­families thrive: 
  • Social Security 
  • AFDC 
  • Minimum Wages 
  • Affordable health care (Medicaid, Medicare, ACA) 
  • Safety from avoidable harm 
    • as consumers (FDA, CPSA) 
    • as workers (OSHA) 
    • and environmental-exposure (EPA) 


In contrast, the current Republican House majority seeks to reduce spending on all of these and other family friendly programs.

Everyone would agree that any discussion of FAMILY VALUES must include safety from avoidable harm in any and every way. 

In this sense, slowing global warming is the central issue/family value of our time. 






The Republican Party’s rejection of policies to effectively slow global warming as much as humanity is able to IS condemning our children, our grandchildren, and all generations to come, to a future of greater harm and destruction.

VOTE BLUE - The Republican Party Stands for Inequality

VOTE BLUE!

Democratic POTUS & Congressional Majority!


Senator Sanders has forced a greater public discussion of the “exceptional” inequality in America. Whether we measure inequality by...
  • the extraordinary concentration of wealth in the hands of so few
  • an extremely regressive tax structure (including sates taxes etc.)
  • the extreme (for rich nations) percentages of persons living in poverty
  •  the exorbitantly high cost of health care and higher education
 ...inequality in America is a result of the policies aggressively and openly promoted by the contemporary Republican Party.

In particular, the public position of the Republican House majority is to:
  • radically reduce corporate income tax rates (from 35% to 20%)
  • radically reduce individual income tax rates for the wealthy (from 39.6% to 33%)
  • reduce individual income tax rates for capital (investment) profits and dividend income at less than 50% of the rate for wage income
The Republican Party even argues for the elimination of the estate tax. All of these changes overwhelmingly, disproportionately benefit the extremely wealthy.

At the same time, the result of Republican tax policy changes, starting with President Reagan, has been to:
  • increase the overall tax burden on the, at least, 95% of Americans with lower incomes 
  • squeeze/reduce Federal spending that would reduce poverty, reduce health care (especially drug) spending, reduce the cost of higher education 
  • and, most notably, to reduce the effectiveness of corporate regulation – INCREASING NUMEROUS RISKS TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.


It is CRITICAL that we VOTE & VOTE BLUE!

A VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS IN 2016 is a VOTE for INCREASED INEQUALITY in America - in ALL ITS FORMS!
UNITE & Vote BLUE!
