It's Time For A New FDR & Americans Are Ready
 If you look at the history of American democracy, you see that only times of great crisis have produced major progressive political changes. The Tea Act, The Boston Tea Party, The Civil War, The Panic of 1893 & the assassination of McKinley, The Great Depression, WWII and The Vietnam War. Each brought forth great statesmen (Jefferson, Lincoln, TR, FDR). Today we face a new crisis that’s arguably as dangerous to the future of the country and the world as any of those: Donald Trump. This crisis is so great and so deep that we will see a progressive statesperson elected President, a progressive Congress elected, and within a decade you’ll see single payer healthcare and free college.. -Thom |

Tuesday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: It's Time For A New FDR & Americans Are Ready
Article: " 13th Amendment", December 6, 1865. " Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Article: " 14th Amendment, July 9, 1868 (citizenship, representatives, public debt, Equal Protection Clause) Article: " 15th Amendment", February 3, 1870 " The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude" Article: " My Testimony for the Downing Street Memo Hearings" by Cindy Sheehan, June 16 2005. then Governor George Bush stated, "One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as commander in chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."
Hour Two: 66 Millions Americans At Risk Tomorrow Due to Climate Change
Quote: " If taken seriously, our colleagues’ assumption that the identity of a speaker has no relevance to the Government’s ability to regulate political speech would lead to some remarkable conclusions. Such an assumption would have accorded the propaganda broadcasts to our troops by “Tokyo Rose†during World War II the same protection as speech by Allied commanders. More pertinently, it would appear to afford the same protection to multinational corporations controlled by foreigners as to individual Americans" - Justice Stevens. |
