Happy Passover

Passover is a time where Jewish people reflect on their deliverance from the house of bondage into their holy land. In doing so they overcame those who sought to destroy them for who they were. They story of passover is an important one not only for Jewish peoples but for people's across our country who have been oppressed. It is a day to give thanks for what we have while remembering those who do not. To all of my friends celebrating Happy Passover.

The current unemployment rate amongst African Americans is a little above 14 percent. While we are debating the tax rates for the very wealthy we cannot endanger our families who are more venerable. IT IS IMMORAL TO MAKE CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY for millions of Americans and then turn around and not ask the wealthy to pay a little more.

Common Sense Solution to Handle Climate Change

A tax on fossil fuels is one common sense solution to help states get back at least a fraction of the billions of dollars spent on storms resulting from Climate Change. While we work invest in clean alternatives we must also make up for the billions of dollars in recovery by passing a Pigovian tax on such fuels.
