The top 0.1 % of top 1 % of wealthiest people in America earn 11 % of US income. The gap between rich and middle class is growing much wider. This is an economic and a moral issue. Meanwhile, under President Bush, the federal deficits soared and the tax rates went DOWN. The top 1% of income earners had their taxes cut in half...paid hundreds of thousands of dollars LESS. One quarter of the kids in the US are on food stamps. The top 10% of of American earners, earned more than the remaining 90%.
President Bush inherited a huge federal surplus. The war in Iraq will cost $300 trillion and add to the national debt. The Bush tax cuts added to the national debt by cutting taxes for wealthy, but had no way to pay back that loss of federal funds, When Bush left office in 2009, there was a $10 trillion federal deficit. That deficit has now grown to almost $14 trillion today due to the Wall Street and banking collapse and bail-outs of 2007-2009.
The banks it on huge amounts of bail-out money and do not lend because Americans are now not credit-worthy after huge numbers of Americans had credit ratings lowered with mortgage fraud and bankruptcy.

Chowchilla Broke....NO MONEY
Now people are volunteering to do regular public functions such as taking care of parks and playgrounds. Recently Chowchilla spent millions to upgrade it's government building - and a very beautiful and well-designed building it is. It seems that serial bad choices are at the root of this bankruptcy. Now we must really get down to work and get this city together. Too many years of neglect and abandonment by our state legislators.

ELZABETH EDWARDS FAREWELL TO A NINJA WARRIOR
Elizabeth Edwards ended a exciting life story on December 7th. At the young age of 61, her body could take no more. As a young woman, Elizabeth took the hard road of college and then law school. She had her own legal practice. She was clearly a role model and a pioneer for the education of women. Her daughter also became an attorney. Her oldest son died. In her late forties, she decided to have two more children - perhaps this was a stimulus to her eventually developing her fatal breast cancer.
Elizabeth was a ninja. She could swing the sword and dodge an attack. Her beauty in her youth is undeniable and she carried her beauty and grace into her final years.
Unfortunately, with all of her accomplishments, she will be most remembered for her battle at home between her, her husband John and his sexual partner who John paid with our hard-earned public money. Yes, John was really a "John" paying for sex.
Confronted with her cancer Elizabeth came out swinging. She was fierce and she focused on the goal - beat the cancer and live for her family. She was not a victim. She learned to live with the diagnosis and the numerous negative comments she received from well-wishers and the media. Elizabeth was certain she was winning. She felt all were really on her side . She never expected her biggest opponent was lurking in the shadows, next to her on a daily basis and feeding her lies. In fact, she bravely committed to continuing in the wife role to have John elected as President of the United States. She told all of us he was honest and the best man for the job. Little did she know the truth. And it was all about to play out on televison - no where to hide. No dignity left. Humiliation as a wife, mother and work partner. She was supposed to know John thoroughly…she was his wife. Sneaking, surreptitiously John crept and her soul and spirit were exposed and vulnerable...sharing the house, the food, the bed and usurping her energy - energy she needed to fight the cancer.
When the possibility of an affair arose, Elizabeth acted, backed by her soul mate’s reassurance, to deny the possibility of such betrayal. She assured us John was honest and honorable. The sexual partner wanted some recognition, so she and John met in hotels to enjoy their baby. I’m sure she was taking secret pictures to ensure she had the evidence, if needed to entitle her to a significant future income.
When Elizabeth spoke with Oprah on TV, Elizabeth tried to separate herself from the problem, she was the mom and wife. She resented this other woman trying to come in and claim her life. Elizabeth said she worked hard for her life and this new woman would not be allowed to just come in and “takeover.” However, the demon spirit had let this other woman in. The woman could not have come in unless someone close to Elizabeth betrayed her in her time of greatest need. John opened the door and began a series of lies that created a web that sucked the life from Elizabeth.
Down, but not dead, Elizabeth rose. Injured and breathless, she stood weakly on her feet…she was on her own and her kids would be her only supporters. Oprah confronted John in the hallway of his house and questioned him about the affair. John had the look of hate and disgust as he tried to answer Oprah’s questions with his trained political grace. His eyes became squinty as he looked at Oprah, casting a negative ray towards the talk-show hostess. Oprah acted as if she did not notice, but if he could have, John would have given her a left to the head. He was still playing the southern gentleman role. Meanwhile, Elizabeth struggled to grab onto any shreds of dignity she could find. Not yet finished, the other woman moves into a house near Elizabeth and John’s home on an island in South Carolina. Demons all and carrying an innocent baby…or a future mini demon. Only time will tell.
By now Elizabeth is gasping for air, crawling, begging for family support. "Tell this woman not to move next door on our island" - John is paying. Then the sex tapes. The other woman was gathering evidence against John and she, a professional photographer, had been taking videos of John having sex. These tapes were found by John’s campaign manager, who became involved in the cover-up. The campaign manager was dependent on John for income, so he told John he would claim to be the father of the baby and let the women hide at his house during the pregnancy. His wife agreed to the scheme. They decided to keep the tapes just in case John tried to abandon them in the end. Of course, John, as the demon, did just that and the existence of the tapes became public. John’s sexual partner claimed the tapes were stolen from the house; the campaign manager claimed the tapes were thrown in the trash and retrieved by his wife during a clean-up outside of her room.
Elizabeth’s story is not very unusual if you watch Jerry Springer or the Maury Povitch Show. It was unusual in that we saw every bit play out in public, because of the election coverage, and the parties were wealthy, educated, people in high level jobs…running for U.S. President. How bizarre.
It was not a surprise that Elizabeth died, but an honor to her strength and will to live so long and fight for every inch of respect she could gather.
As a woman, we understand her story and we pray for her soul. She is now with her son.
John and his girlfriend are probably off partying. For them too the ordeal is ending and, like Camilla Parker Bowles, after the death of Diana, the two of them can now devise a cover story and continue in a fake shroud of respect and normalcy.
God Bless You Elizabeth. We women will not forget. Surely, we will see this as a movie forever.

Republicans Run Off with Loot
The first repercussions from the November General election are starting to surface
All Democrats support tax cuts for middle class Americans. But Democrats do not support welfare for the multi millionaires and billionaires in the form of tax cuts and relief from estate taxes for the super rich.
Immediately after the election the Republicans ran back to Washington, DC and proclaimed Americans have shown, via votes, that they want multimillionaires and billionaires to have an unlimited extension of tax cuts - and no discussion available because more Republicans are coming in 2011. To hold the President hostage, the Republicans said if the super wealthy did not get tax cuts, all people earning less than one million dollars will have their taxes raised too and those workers who were unemployed because of the economic crash caused by bankers, Wall Street and industrial executives, will no get unemployment compensation. While workers lost their jobs and benefits, most of those tycoons who caused the financial crash walked off with big federal payouts, often recouping 100% of their pay, benefits and bonuses with our dollars.
Now the Republicans are holding the middle class and our Democratic representatives hostage. President Obama has promised to end the tax breaks for the extremely wealthy, but the Republicans promise to ‘stick it” to the average American if he does. President Obama and all recognized economists see the economy improving, so the President does not want to stop middle class growth and spending by taking more family income via taxes. Democrats agree the middle class needs tax cuts and a growing economy with job creation. We have a $14 trillion national debt and the Republicans are forcing our government to increase the national debt by potentially $700 billion dollars and more - that means borrowing more money from China or the middle east - and less control of our government. Meanwhile, the mega wealthy who are getting these tax breaks are spending their money in China, Hong Cong, Taiwan, Pakistan and other foreign countries. Yes, and some of that money funnels back to corrupt officials, Al Qaeda and the Taliban and eventually is used against us in the U.S. in various ways including the illegal drug industry, and against our soldiers. Many U.S. soldiers are killed by weapons bought through the American money chain. The wealthy sell guns to all foreign combatants and the weapons kill our middle-class soldiers.
The Republican behavior is anti-American and reprehensible and we will have to deal with these issues over the next two years. President Obama has chosen not punish the American middle class - so he gave the mega wealthy their demanded tax cuts in exchange for a middle class tax cut extension and an 18 month continuation of unemployment benefits.
We will be debating the tax code and the national debt into 2012, but we must not allow a repeat recession, so the deal to continue to help the middle class must go through now because there will be more Republicans in Congress in January.
President Obama was given a Hobson’s choice. He chose to help the middle class and help the economy. The wealthy billionaires will ride the backs of you and me like drunken cowboys and we can only watch them run off with our money. But, the Central Valley voted to continue this Republican activity for the next two years, so I assume they are happy for the Republican tax cut victory.
Never has the gap between rich and poor been wider. It is the best of times (for the rich), it is the worst of times - eventually we taxpayers must pay in taxes for this booty to the wealthy.

BARCELONA - One of Europe's largest brothels has opened in northeastern Spain, employing up to 150 prostitutes, the Spanish press said Friday.
The Paradise brothel opened Thursday night in La Jonquera with 80 rooms and two showrooms, catering for up to 150 prostitutes each paying 70 euros (100 dollars) a day for room and meals.
Owner Jose Moreno (is this the drug guy?) was quoted by the El Pais daily as saying it aimed to draw many clients from just across the French border, each paying an average 60 euros for half an hour with a prostitute.
Moreno has reportedly been charged but not detained for allegedly being part of a gang trafficking men and women from Brazil who were forced into prostitution. The girls are said to perform 2,000 jobs a night. The outside of the building has men posted and the inside has long halls, darkened. (I am guessing there are torture chambers, dungeons and dead bodies in there somewhere.) I assume boys are kept in there also, but no information was found to answer this. Of course, sexual slavery, child abuse and abductions are going to be issues that need to be investigated.
The brothel says it is the biggest in Europe but there are others, in Germany and Scandinavia for example, that claim to have more rooms.

CSBA NEEDS TO REDUCE EXPENSES NOW
Scott Plotkin, 57, the executive director of the California School Boards Association (CSBA), a educational non-profit, was paid $516,517 in 2008 and $452,339 in 2009 after receiving sizable bonuses and other compensation.
Plotkin was CSBA's executive director for nine years. Prior to CSBA, he worked for the California State University system and was a consultant for the state Senate Committee on Education.
Plotkin retired under fire Sept. 1st with a $43,000 severance payment, Plotkin now draws $205,000 annually from his California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) pension . He is receiving $17,089 monthly from CalPERS. Plotkin's salary was spiked during his last three years to increase his retirement payouts.
In addition, Mr. Plotkin illegally used his CSBA administrative credit card to take $10,000 cash advances at various casinos on multiple occasions. A full revelation of CSBA credit card abuse was never made public.
CSBA Chief Deputy Executive Director Jeff Vaca is serving as interim executive director. Tax filings show Vaca earned $180,700 in 2009.
CSBA lobbies on behalf of school boards, provides trustees with professional development acts a resource on policy and legal issues, and holds annual state-wide meetings.
CSBA receives much of its funding from membership dues and other fees paid by publicly funded California school districts and county offices of education. In essence, when our schools run out of money, CSBA dues and fees are part of the reason and you and I must pay more via tax increases.
CSBA needs to repair its reputation and become financially responsible. This is our money they are wasting. CSBA needs to cut salaries, bonuses and benefits. CSBA even filed a lawsuit against the state of California demanding more money to schools and claiming money mismanagement by the state.
As for CalPERS,Plotkin is entitled to up to a 2% COLA every year. This means his first COLA in May 2012 will add an additional $350 a month to his pension, and he will be getting 2% increases every year for the rest of his life.
California has over $500 billion in unfunded retirement benefits now and this abuse of the California retirement system needs to be corrected immediately. Plotkin should have a cap on his retirement benefits at the level of $150,000. Fiscal responsibility has to be the new rule in California

I do not want to encourage 2 years of endless party-based bickering.
Elect GoodWIN to Congress. GoodWIN will work for you by focusing only on CD 19 to increase jobs, cash and credit for businesses, improve education, and improve health care.

MODESTO BEE and FRESNO BEE Fight to Keep Valley Poor and Uninformed....VOTE LORAINE GOODWIN for Congress
Modesto Bee and Fresno Bee want you to vote for the candidate that will help the rich guys - not YOU. Yes, When the newspapers said Denham was the choice and the Modesto Bee said Goodwin had too many degrees and they were confused by them - it was clear they were not working in the best interest of the readers. The Bees do not want to give good wages or provide health care for employees. In fact, they want you to elect the candidate who will get rid of health care for employees and not require a livable wage.
Denham wants to get rid of health care. Denham has never helped with health care, jobs. financial problems, etc. in his 8 years in office. Now people in the valley are being offered health care in warehouses - like a very poor third world country. This is not the American way and is unacceptable.
The Bees are making a lot of money for executives. In fact, they are now using BLOGGERS for articles, so they have even cut their editorial staffs. Bloggers are free. So, they fire writers and our valley unemployment increases. No, the newspapers do not care about you or your families.

MODESTO BEE and FRESNO BEE LIE TO GET DENHAM INTO OFFICE FOR FINANCIAL GAIN....ELECT GOODWIN TO CONGRESS - GOOODWIN WILL FOCUS ON YOU
Don't let the rich newspaper owners tell you how to vote. They have health insurance and lots of cash. Vote for your own families and vote for jobs, financial reform, and health care.
We need to stop the fraud and abuse by financial institutions. Banks can make money by stealing businesses from families. Newspaper owners are invested in banks and make money when banks take your property.
Denham has not helped the valley in his 8 years in office. Do not elect Denham, a failed representative who refuses to debate issues with district residents. Denham will not disclose his financial interests with various California tribes, who wish to compete with an advantage over with tax-laden businesses. (Tribal businesses are tax exempt and can undercut regular business prices.)
Denham has not increased jobs over the past 3 years since the Wall Street downfall. Denham has done nothing to help residents with jobs or foreclosures. Elect a representative, Loraine Goodwin, who actually lives and works in our district and knows our concerns. GOODWIN will not lie about her whereabouts to avoid voters as Denham did when he lied twice to avoid election debates in Chowchilla and Fresno.
ELECT GOODWIN TO CONGRESS. To elect Denham is a crime in itself.

Denham has not increased jobs over the past 3 years since the Wall Street downfall. Denham has done nothing to help residents with jobs or foreclosures. Elect a representative, Loraine Goodwin, who actually lives and works in our district and knows our concerns. GOODWIN will not lie about her whereabouts to avoid voters as Denham did when he lied twice to avoid election debates in Chowchilla and Fresno.
ELECT GOODWIN TO CONGRESS. To elect Denham is a crime in itself.

FRESNO DECLARED THIRD DUMBEST CITY IN NATION
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno has a new ranking on an online news website's list of America's smartest and dumbest cities.
According to the survey by the Daily Beast, Fresno ranks as the third dumbest city in the nation, behind San Antonio, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada.
In their 2009 survey, the web site ranked Fresno as America's dumbest city in the survey of nation's largest population centers.
The web site said they ranked the cities based on the number of college degree holders and institutions of higher education. The web site's authors congratulated Fresno for moving up in this year's ranking.
Boston, Massachusetts topped the list of the top three smartest areas in the nation, Hartford-New Haven, Connecticut came in second, and the San Francisco Bay Area ranked third.

Denham Ignores Valley..Goodwin Will Ensure Health Care and Stop Insurance Abuse..Vote Goodwin for Congress November 2nd
400 people came for free health care in Fresno Sunday. There is little dignity in warehouse medical care - but the valley is desperate. Goodwin will ensure timely health care and fix the health care reform bill. No free care in Modesto or Turlock on Sunday. Denham wants to go back to old ways (and repeal the bill) and people will have to wait for many months for the next free clinic - if one is even scheduled. Goodwin feels moms, kids and all valley residents deserve better. Vote Goodwin for Congress next week. Denham has deserted you for 8 years.
DENHAM is FIRED!!

LORAINE GOODWIN Congress Candidate With Education, Experience, Training and Skills
I know the Modesto Bee is confused about Goodwin's multiple degrees and her titles. Yes, she has a Medical Doctorate and a Juris Doctorate. Goodwin does women's health, preventive medicine, and mental health care. With her law degree, she does legal arbitration and mediation (which does not involve costly bar listing - and she does not need it since she is a doctor) Her arbitration/mediation includes family disputes, auto accidents, contract disputes, landlord/tenant disputes, patient/doctor complaints, hospital/patient disputes, insurance disputes, etc.
But this election is not about Goodwin's title and which title is best for Goodwin. This election is to decide can the valley get health care for our women, kids/babies. seniors, and baby-boomers. Denham wants to repeal the health care bill.
Goodwin will fix the bill and ensure our families have health care. Goodwin will also get mental health care for veterans, kids and others into the valley.
Using her law degree, Goodwin has also helped valley seniors and others successfully get their homes off foreclosure lists. Goodwin has gotten $450,000 for 2010/11 for area farmers who provide fruits and vegetables to the Madera schools. Goodwin has saved the State millions by advocating for early release for terminal inmates, "Goodwin's Law".
GOODWIN"S PLATFORM
1) Jobs, jobs, jobs
2) Financial Reform: Get that credit and cash moving in the valley. Stop mortgage fraud (Denham has done nothing) Stop rising credit card fraud (Denham nada) Loans for business expansion and entrepreneurs and get cities to buy-in. (Denham zip)
3) Education: use our funds better and stop holding up educational funds in Sacramento - as legislators like Denham try to fix state debt.
4) Health care Goodwin will fix the health care reform bill, so it works for our families, moms, kids/babies, seniors, and Baby-Boomers. Denham will get rid of health care bill and go back to old ways where the money is running out quickly - like the budget Denham just voted to pass, this will not work.
Goodwin celebrates Ovarian Cancer and Breast Caner Awareness month - all women deserve early diagnosis and treatment - GoodWIN will vote for YOU

GoodWIN Will Protect...You..DenHAM is not qualified...Vote for Loraine GoodWIN for Congress..VOTE
The Modesto Bee endorsed Denham because Goodwin is a mediator and arbitrator and her name is not on the bar list.
The Modesto Bee has missed the whole point of this very important election and does not understand the bar list. After attaining your Juris Doctorate, you only need to apply for the bar if you are practicing before the court. Otherwise, it is a very expensive unnecessary process to initiate and maintain. Goodwin does not need a bar license and she is a PHYSICIAN. That is why the term "attorney is best, because most non-lawyers do not understand the reasons for bar certification. The term "attorney" just makes it easier for everyone to understand. As a mediator and arbitrator GoodWIN does the same things as an attorney, except out of court and the process is much cheaper and quicker (can be completely done in 1 or two days. So, GoodWIN handles auto accidents, hospital disputes (you complain of service or charges, physician/patient disputes, contract disputes, divorce, landlord/tenent disputes, and more.... Many lawyers are also confused about the terms since this is not taught in law school.
But, The election is not about Goodwin or her titles (she has 2 doctorates, an MD and JD), it is about valley jobs, health care for residents, education improvement, and financial reform...and more. So, which ever title you choose, it is OK. GoodWIN is running for Congress, not taking your case to court.
Denham is NOT QUALIFIED
You get the best with GoodWIN and you will be happy with GoodWIN as your representative.

Denham repeatedly lies that he is in DC in order to evade district residents. Hey, elect Denham and you will never find him. The Fresno Bee states Denham broke two federal laws and Washington, DC has named Denham one of the TEN MOST CROOKED politicians in office. The Modesto Bee thinks this is consistent with the valley's reputation (like Condit). Vote for GoodWIN for Congress

CD 19 Residents Need Help... Denham Does Nothing
CD 19 residents are losing homes and Denham does nothing. Jobs lost and Denham silent. Education scores low, but no word from Denham. Drug war at border...nothing These issues and more are what voters need to know. Denham avoids voters and lies he is in DC. The Modesto and Fresno Bee fails our valley voters and manipulates to elect Denham, eventhough they admit he has 2 federal law violation cases. Of course, Denham does not even live in CD 19, so Denham doesn't care about district needs. Vote for Loraine GoodWIN - she actually lives and works in CD 19.

LORAINE GOODWIN WORKS FOR WOMEN (Your Mom, Daughter, Sister) and EQUAL RIGHTS
Even when our economy is strong, it is difficult for women to juggle the demands of a career and a family. And during the tough economic times of the past few years, that juggling has become increasingly challenging for many working mothers. That’s why President Obama has recognized that we can never lose sight of working women and mothers as we fight day after day to climb out of this economic hole.
Women make up nearly 50 percent of the American workforce, and in almost two thirds of American families women are the primary or co-breadwinner. But even in 2010, women only earn 77 cents on the dollar compared to men, and women are still underrepresented in the highest levels of management.
Since taking office, President Obama’s number one priority has been growing our economy and creating good jobs for all Americans. Many of the policies his Administration has put into place to turn our economy around have been particularly important for women.
Here are just a few of the important steps the Obama Administration has taken to help support women throughout their education and careers:
Train and educate women for quality jobs. The President has focused on opportunities for training and educating all Americans for the jobs of the future. For example, women, who make up the vast majority of nurses and about half of all medical school enrollees, will benefit from the $320 million in healthcare workforce development grants in the Affordable Care Act.
Promote economic expansion and job growth for women. Under the Recovery Act, nearly 12,000 SBA loans have been made to women-owned small businesses, helping to get much needed capital into the hands of women entrepreneurs.
Support working women at home and in their jobs. Through the Recovery Act’s Make Work Pay tax credit, 74 million American women had an average of $600 more in their pocketbooks in 2009. In addition, the President proposed nearly doubling the Child and Dependant Care Tax Credit for middle class Americans. The President is committed to equal pay for women; in fact the first bill he signed into law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Support women in retirement and between jobs. From July 2008 to August 2010, 6.9 million women and their families were helped by the extension of unemployment insurance. Social Security plays a vital role for retired women who make up 58 percent of all beneficiaries, and President Obama is committed to strengthening and protecting it.
We have a lot of work left to do, but without these policies, millions of American women would have struggled over the past few years.
Unfortunately, many Congressional Republicans have fought us every step of the way – opposing the economic policies that have helped millions of American women survive during the recession and begin to make progress.
Women are a crucial part of the American workforce and our economic recovery, and we must do everything in our power to support them.
Sincerely,
Valerie Jarrett
Senior Advisor to the President and Chair of the White House Council on Women and Girls

I think all members of Congress - both House and Senate - should have pay and benefit cuts and a public spending cap. All of the saved money should go to reducing the federal debt. Even if the amount does not seem huge, every penny counts. It is symbolic for Congress to sacrifice and support average Americans, and stop living "high on the hog" using our tax money. Vote for Loraine GoodWIN http://www.drgoodwin.info/
