"Democrats in the state Senate should return to their jobs and stop pretending their escape to Illinois was about democracy. It wasn't. In fact, quite the opposite. Democracy has creaked to a halt in their absence."

Obama joins Wisconsin's budget battle, opposing Republican anti-union bill

Organizing for America, please note the URL address, the DNC and President Obama, involved in a state (Wisconsin now, but soon Ohio, NJ and NY) legislative battle.  Is this the way a republic works?

The White House political operation, Organizing for America, got involved Monday, after Democratic National Committee Chairman Timothy M. Kaine, a former Virginia governor, spoke to union leaders in Madison, a party official said.

Unfair Discrepancy?

By Rush Limbaugh:
I think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the
September 11 casualty and those who die serving our country in Uniform
are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because you just
don't criticize anything having to do with September 11. Well, I can't
let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing
about the entitlement mentality of this country.

If you lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to
get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of
$250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million..

If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in
action,
the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which
is taxable.
Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse,
you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211
per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those
payments come to a  screeching halt.

Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average of
$1.185 million up   to   $4.7 million are complaining that it's not
enough .  Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply in
the wrong place at the wrong time.  Soldiers put themselves in harms way
FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families
know the dangers. (Actually, soldiers are put in harms way by
politicians and commanding officers.)

We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the
Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same
deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition to that,
some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for
compensation as well.

You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel
of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just
really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military, they
usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in
combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food
stamps and live in low-rent housing .  Make sense?

However, our own US Congress voted themselves a raise. Many of you don't
knownow that they have to be in Congress only one time to receive a
pension that is more than $15,000 per month. And most are now equal to
being millionaires plus. They do not receive Social Security on
retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of
the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7, they may
receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who
placed them in harm's way receive pensions of $15,000 per month.

I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join
ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our
sons and daughters who are now   fighting.

"When do we finally do something about this?"
If this doesn't seem fair to you, it's time to forward this to as many
people as you can.
