Join Our Boycott!!!

If you want change, you have to do it yourselves. With all the money being donated from corporations to political parties, we must write our congressmen to demand election reform. We must demand a level playing field. Our country is now catering to the self-interests of big business, we as individuals are viewed as gnats....pests who can be eradicated at the toss of a hand. And every time I hear about another Conservative Republican I shudder. These conservatives are the one's re-writing our Constitution. And for the lame people who voted for Bush, I would keep that extremely quiet...the backlash will not be something you'll want to endure. It is becoming time to take back America and all it originally stood for, not this FASCIST facsimile that's being crammed down our throats. If we don't act now we will all become slaves to some corporation that has no heart, just a bottom line.
Start by boycotting Tuesday Morning. WalMart is a good second boycott. Then after that...any and all companies that operate with a big ego. These corporations are making money hand over fist, then donating to the political candidate of their choice who in turn introduces legislation to benefit that donor. They either introduce new laws or slip amendments into other bills being voted on without your knowledge. It is going to take more than my seemed "crazy talk" to wake people up, but Tuesday Morning is the tip of the iceberg. Corporations with all their money are trying to re-write the laws into their favor. Example...the fight going on in Congress over Bush's court nominees. Bush has chosen candidates that are pro-business, who will deny you as employees certain rights and favor businesses. I don't profess to know why businesses are being allowed to be the dominant political force in America other than to "create jobs" which is a lame excuse to say the least, but I and many others know this is ending America as we knew it. Do me a favor. Go to news sites from other countries and get an idea of how the rest of the world perceives America. It will become apparent that the news media in America are not reporting the news. Unless of course the news is Michael Jackson. There is no news on what is actually happening in Washington or on what the truth on Iraq or Afghanistan is. Did you know that there is a new pipeline open that would not have been possible if the Taliban were still in power in Afghanistan. Oil. And where are those Weapons Of Mass Destruction so trumpeted by Bush and Company before they invaded Iraq? Disappeared? What is going on is a redistribution of wealth. Rich are getting richer and the percentage of American's going into poverty is climbing rapidly. The percentage of unemployed in this country is also a lie. The least amount of jobs were produced in the month of May, yet the percentage went from 5.2% to 5.1%, reflecting the people who have given up searching for a job. The unemployed who are done with Unemployment insurance but are still not employed is what we're talking about. People giving up without a fight. Just accepting the status quo and moving on. "What can I do about it?" This is heard over and over again by friends and neighbors, whether yours or mine. The truth here is that a cloud of apathy has come down across America (to the glee of the Conservative Republicans). So now businesses can operate with impunity. Now they have the government doing whatever they want.
And to the commenter who mentioned PETA and watchdog groups, does OSHA mean anything? It used to until the present political climate came into play. Now global Corporations are running the show. After World War II the American middleclass was formed. That's right, it didn't even exist before the end of the war. The government gave the returning G.I.s grants for education and to buy a home, creating a class of workers wealth...the birth of middleclass. Now these corporations want to take that away from all of us, then redistribute the wealth overseas because they've run out of creative ways to expand their customer base in the US, short of doing 'everything' illegally, not just some things as is the case now. We're just in the early stages of that so it's not very obvious to all. You all know the illegal part very well, having dealt with Tuesday Morning's Workmans Comp Gauntlet From Hell! I think what I'm trying to say is....GET INVOLVED, WRITE SOME LETTERS, MAKE SOME CALLS (just not to the White House because they ARE NOT INTERESTED in this fight as far as puny regular citizens is concerned. You have to be a Corporate Entity to get the attention of Washington. Now do you see why this fight is so hard. The answer here is to write about what has happened to you at Tuesday Morning until the attorney who is acting on all your behalfs is ready to lower the boom. So, again I ask you to respond to this blog, pass it around for all to "know what you know" and get this country on the road to recovery, but above all else, to heal each and every one of you with the satisfaction that your voice did indeed count.

Ed, You said, "These corporations are making money hand over fist, then donating to the political candidate of their choice who in turn introduces legislation to benefit that donor."
Do you know that Tues. Morning is doing this?

How could I possibly know if T.M. as a corporation is making donations to a political party of their choice, and as I see it there is no law against anyone doing this as we speak, and therein lies the problem...it is an acceptable practice and we need reform in America. That was the point of that post...global business in general taking advantage of their financial position to favor themselves.

yeah, so are out 401k's safe?? Re: Enron, United Airlines. Maybe we should pull them out and place them somewhere else.
Does anyone one know......DID they (Ms. Mason, and Marchetti) DUMP their stock or not. It looks like it but is there a way to really find out? Let us know. We are ALL wondering what is about to happen. If they flood the market with this sold stock, then it will all go down. Big time. So is that why they paid the "dividends" recently, so they could get the dividends too before the sold out? Crazy.

I just learn about another manager living the ranks of TM due to the facts that TM new hours and Green Card new issues. I could not believed but is true. When you weight the abuses and your sacrificies you have to endure to be able to get a paycheck she decided the freedom to be able to become a human being .The openings at Monsters are growing day by day.
