Senator Scott Brown: Another Koch whore caught in the act (video)
[tnivideo caption=”climatebrad” credit=”Scott Brown Begs David Koch for Money”]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnkipn-gJK4[/tnivideo]
Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) surprised Massachusetts and the rest of the US when he won the Senatorial seat formerly held by the Liberal Lion– Senator Edward Kennedy. Recently, Brown was caught on video thanking right-wing billionaire David Koch for his financial support in the last election and asking for more help when he runs for re-election in 2012. In the above video, Koch beams as Brown, who ran as a “different kind of politician” (AKA, not a beltway insider), grovels.

There have been many lively debates in the Arizona House in 2018. This team of House Democrats fought for consumer protections and fought against risky financial deals in a “regulatory sandbox.” (Pictured are Reps. Mitzi Epstein, Kelli Butler, Athena Salman, Pamela Powers Hannley, Ken Clark and Isela Blanc.)
It was truly a honor to meet Nevada State Senator Patricia Spearman (center) in October and to confer with her regarding our efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in Arizona. Spearman led the successful Nevada efforts to ratify the ERA in 2017. Here we are with activist and NOW leader Dainne Post after the ERA workshop at the We the People Conference in Phoenix. There are a lot of Arizona women who are ready to make history in 2018. Watch my blog here and my Facebook page here for ERA updates.

We often hear that corporations need migrant workers because Americans “don’t want to do these jobs.” When I hear this statement, I picture farm workers picking vegetables. Recently, I toured two dairies and an animal feed packing plant in Pinal County. The photo above from the Zinke Dairy shows a giant cow milking carousel. Nine migrant workers milk 4000 cows three times a day at this dairy. Legislators watched the two men pictured here– working at a brisk pace– bend over and pick up, lift, and attach large electronic suction cups to the cows as they ride the carousel around the giant facility. This level of automation is the wave of the future for industrial jobs.

The Living Economy event was very informative; we had a great time hob-nobbing. My husband Jim is a small business owner and a member of Local First Arizona. I have owned two small businesses in the past– Powers/Queen Associates and Wind Dancer Design. We support Local First Arizona and buying/investing locally. We believe that supporting local small businesses with low-interest loans through a public/private partnership between a public bank and community banks and credit unions is the sustainable route to improving our local economy. Trickle down economics doesn’t work; it’s time for new ideas.
Governor Ducey had proposed increasing prison beds and funding, while cutting education. Protesters took issue with that short-sighted idea.

At least he asked the Hard working man for financial support instead of taking it like the democrats do through union dues and such.

Ha! While it’s not a crime to be rich, it is not a qualification for sainthood either. More often than not it has nothing to do with working hard.

I do believe much attention is being put on these two billionaires who have internationa tentacles which is no doubt one of their methods of avoid taxes and now they see a way to buy government influence they are the money behind the tea party/teapublicans, money has always tried to buy politiicians its the american way, thing is when they get caught the politicians end up in ethics trouble, some in prison and they ought to indict and throw the one doing the bribing in jail as well sends a good message especially if in addition they fine then 100 times what the damaged our economy via corrupting government officials they would see a immediate slowing of these folks buying illegal access to government!
