Letter to Kamala for protection of immigrants and my expression of gratitude

The above-named Senator and Hampton beauty queen pageant contestant, Kamala Harris sent me an email urging support for immigrants. Noble that she supports the oppressed.

I couldn't resist the desire to reciprocate for her desire to relieve burdens of immigrants (which actually is a good cause) which is so at odds with her neoliberal right of center politics. I sent her the following comment:

Read your email supporting immigrants rights. You like to help the oppressed. So you helped oppressed home forecloser Steve Mnuchin escape 1000 pending criminal indictments for Bank One fraud. I'm sure you had 15000 good reasons to do so.

So, in the spirit of acknowledging all the good done by our representatives and Senators, I suggest that everyone in c99 write an email of support to their duly selected Congress Critters praising them for their acts of benificence to we, the downtrodden.

Lest I forget, one of the Kamel's prior acts of relieving oppression deserves mention:

Sing along, brothers and sisters

I think politicians who feel entitled to bamboozle their constitutions should be obliged to read more of these kinds of letters. If for no other reason than to remind them they aren't bamboozling all of us.

Kamala is a corporcrat clintonite sell out. But what caught my eye in your essay was a workin' on the chain gang.

Lomax made several recordings in Mississippi prisons - listen to his 47-48 recordings here:

But my favorite story is from his later recording in the 50's that was used in the O' Brother movie and CD

James Carter (December 18, 1925 – November 26, 2003) was an American singer. He was born a Mississippi sharecropper and as a young man was several times an inmate of the Mississippi prison system. He was paid $20,000, and credited, for a four-decade-old lead-vocalist performance in a prison work song used in the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?

In 1959, Carter was a prisoner in Camp B of Parchman Farm, Mississippi State Penitentiary near Lambert, Quitman County, Mississippi, when Alan Lomax and Shirley Collins recorded him in stereo sound leading a group of prisoners singing "Po' Lazarus", an African-American "bad man ballad" (which is also a work song), while chopping logs in time to the music. The recording and an iconic cover photograph of the prisoners in striped uniforms were issued on volume nine, Bad Man Ballads, in Alan Lomax's 1959 Southern Journey LP series on Atlantic Records.

Think Kamala would track us down to pay us a royalty?

Kamela Harris is obviously running for president in 2020 but IMO she will not win. It looks like Clinton cultists are throwing their support behind Harris, but that could be a kiss of death for her.

@karl pearson

In April 2017, Harris criticized progressives in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “We can’t afford to be purists,” she said. “What do we have to do in this movement to be pragmatic?” Additionally, in response to being asked if she supports single payer health care, she said, “As a concept, I’m completely in support of single payer.” In practicality, she doesn’t support the policy, but she says she does in interviews to reap the political benefits.

Yep. She's a Hillary clone alright! Says one thing does another.

And she is afraid that her statement about releasing prisoners is going to come back and bite her so she's working on bail reform.

Hillary was afraid that her email scandal was going effect her chances of winning and that was one reason she had the media do the pied piper thing. Smile

Read the rest of it to see what else she did as AG. No wonder Hillary's bots like her and Bernie's don't.

I think that the next presidential election will be very interesting. If Trump's supporters stay with him, I think he'll be re elected.

know that some people are saying that Bernie should run as an independent, but I don't think that he would be able to get in the debates because only the two parties have been able to do that. This was why he ran as a democrat last time.

One thing that people should watch next year is what the democrats do when the republicans have to rewrite their tax bill. They have to correct some of the things that put in it and they will need democrats to work with them and then vote with them because they are going to need 60 votes to pass it. It will be interesting to see what Harris does.

are Borrin Orrin and Robbing Bishop. Orrin initially ran on term limits. His slogan his first year was "What do you call a member of congress who has served for 3 terms? You call them home. He promised to only serve two terms and then quit, yet he's now considering whether to run for his 8th term. Trust me, I've written them both and always received a canned email response.

Well done, alligator. If Kampala does runs for president, people are going to hang with those two issues.
The women who work on the California fires were paid less than $5.00/hour. I think it was $2.00 and then $1.00 when they were resting.
Gawd, what a horrible person.

ETA one of the people who was foreclosed on owed One Bank less than $2.00 for her property taxes.

what it really means is that they're pro-immigrant employer. The employers don't want to see the cheap laborers sent back to Mexico, nor do they want to fill out W-2 forms or any of that stuff they have to do if their cheap labor isn't under the table.

Just likes to hear men moaning their lives away. Not that unusual for a prosecutor. And every politician loves to hear the sound of ka-ching, ka-ching.

Not sure everyone who is not a politician would know what ka-ching meant, so in my google travels to find a suitable definition, I discovered that none other than Shania Twain has a song by the same name that I had never had the pleasure to have heard. I thought about linking to it, but I have my standards. I just don't think Sam Cooke would approve.
