Freddy: Cut with a Machete!

WARNING! Pike County Animal Control was called out to a dog who was tied to a tree. Once the officer got there, he realized it was much worse than expected and contacted Troy Animal Rescue Project. This boy has a major laceration on his hind quarters. It is believed to be a machete wound. It is very clean and even all the way down.

To be horrible enough to harm this boy and then to leave him tied to a tree to die in pain is unimaginable cruelty....We want to thank Pike Animal Control officer Jimmy for reacting so quickly. Because of him, this guy has a fighting chance!

T.A.R.P. has decided to call this boy Freddy. He is currently at Troy Animal Clinic. He will be evaluated and then treated. We need help with the costs of his care. We have a huge vet bill but could not turn this boy away.

Please consider making a purchase to help save him! Let's fight for Freddy! He will know what it is to be loved and cherished... Our vow to him!

Lockheed Martin's Gazillion Dollar Fairy Tale that can't fly!

This plane is a pathetic joke that doesn't fly - Bernie Sanders is the only one who has spoken out against it even though it benefits Vermont!

How many children could we feed with $$$ wasted by Lockheed Martin's Folly?

Gotta love it!

When people like this are elected to Congress you've basically said you have NO MORALS or ETHICS and we will prove it while wasting tax payer money on bogus causes.....DEMAND accountability

Republican corporate deregulation policies over the years have assisted in the bankruptcy of the American middle class to enrich the pharmaceutical industry which is why they fight so hard against affordable health care.

Now is the time for millions of working families to come together to end the collapse of the American middle class and to make certain that our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy a quality of life that brings them health, prosperity, security and joy.

Animal control does their best to keep them as comfortable as they can.
But they just do not have the means, to do extensive medical care, on the masses of all the homeless animals, that come thru their doors yearly. It's a blessing for the animals, that we have good working relationships with animal control. Calls are made immediately to rescues to help.

NationofChange

Many conservatives are in favor of privatizing the USPS instead of it being government run because they believe privatization will create a more competitive and innovative postal service.

Warning: Another Attack On Our Postal Service - NationofChange

Others see this move as dangerous and fear it would be more about making money than helping the public.

Ronald Reagan Arms for Hostages, Destroying USPS

When the US/UN destroyed WMD in Iraq, they KNEW what Saddam Hussein had. 

Why? 

Because the US sold/smuggled WMD to Iran and Iraq to fight each other. 

Oh? Weren't those weapons smuggled through Israel?

"Listening to Jeb Bush and the rest of the Republican field of candidates for president speak out against President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, I wonder: perhaps Jeb should be told about what his daddy did when he was vice president; perhaps Senator Ted Cruz should be told about what his hero Ronald Reagan did for Iran."

Occupy Democrats

Republicans are relentless in their attacks against the U.S. Postal Service. Americans simply cannot afford to let them succeed.

"In the first quarter of this fiscal year, the post office would have made an operational profit, if not for a 75-year healthcare 'pre-funding' mandate passed by Republicans that applies to no other public or private institution in the United States."

Speak out!

If you're poor, you don't have access to services the rest of us take for granted. 

Please add your name and let's make the Postal Service work for us again. 

SIGN THE PETITION: ALLOW POST OFFICES TO OFFER BASIC BANKING SERVICES

TO: UNITED STATES CONGRESS

Millions of Americans lack access to affordable financial services like check cashing, bill paying and small loans. Please support Senator Warren’s postal banking proposal, which would allow the United States Postal Service to offer financial services at local post offices around the country.

Why is this important?

My name is Brianna Tong, and I’m a student at the University of Chicago. I’m a leader in our on-campus organization, Southside Solidarity Network, and in the IIRON Student Network, because I want to win economic and racial justice for all people, and that young people will be at the forefront of a movement to make that happen.

Predatory check cashing and payday lending companies have been exploiting working class Americans for decades, by charging outrageous fees and triple digit interest rates. But now we have a chance to give the millions of Americans without access to affordable basic financial services a fair, publicly owned alternative to payday lenders and big banks. 

Senator Elizabeth Warren has an exciting new proposal that would allow post offices around the country to offer basic financial services like check cashing and bill paying.

According to study released in January by the United States Postal Service’s Inspector General, 68 million Americans – nearly 1 in 4 households -- are underserved by banks and forced to rely on exploitative and wildly expensive payday lenders. Many of these people spend as much as $2,400 each year on inflated interest rates and unnecessary fees.

Across the globe, countries like Japan, Germany and Kenya have had great success with postal banking. And for more than 50 years, post offices in the United States were also allowed to offer banking services. Despite the program’s widespread success, both at providing banking services and generating billions of dollars in revenue for the United States Postal Service, Congress ended the program in 1967.

Given the lack of access to affordable banking services currently experiences by tens of millions of Americans, Congress needs take immediate action to enact Senator Warren’s proposal to bring a public option for financial services back to the United States.

While there’s been a lot of buzz lately about Senator Warren’s postal banking proposal, it needs support in Congress to become law. By signing my petition you can help build that support and add real momentum to the fight for postal banking.
