This tax bill is obscene. Call your reps at 202 224 3121 and speak with the voice of fierce love today. Say, "This is a constituent call. I am an American citizen and I have some things to say." And then lay it on.

Paul Ryan is speaking at this moment about how this tax giveaway to huge corporations, paid for on the backs of millions of hardworking Americans just struggling to get by, is actually a benefit to them.

Some schools in America so undersupplied that they don't even have enough paper; in many cases, teachers themselves go out & buy the supplies they need. As though that's not bad enough, the new proposed tax bill eliminates the tax deduction they get for that! This is so immoral.

Just remember: the shock and awe of it all is strategic. They think we'll feel exhausted, worn down, and just move into an attitude of collective acceptance. We need to hold each other up, shout in each other's ears if necessary, and prepare ourselves inwardly for the long haul.

We're not going to make it through the 21st Century unless we stop thinking like it's the 20th. The world is not a machine. Consciousness creates. And love is ultimately all that matters.

Daily routines in a well lived life: 1) Pray and meditate. 2) Atone and forgive. 3) Cast your love before you, onto everyone and everything. 4) Rise to the occasion, whatever it is. 5) Save your democracy; it needs you.

How can Americans see the proposed tax bill as anything other than an act of thievery? IT WILL NOT CREATE JOBS. Politicians pretend it will, but the CEO's themselves know better. What a cynical, shameful ploy, to tell people they'll somehow be much better off when they have less.

One of the biggest obstructions to getting America back on track today is the hopelessness & ambivalence many people seem to feel about even trying. An attitude correction is needed here! Americans abolished slavery, got women's suffrage, ended segregation. We can deal with this.

At this point, only a massive citizen uprising -- voting, lobbying, etc. -- will be able to turn it around. Particularly voting. They can only hack an election that's close. The challenges are many - voter suppression efforts, etc. - but we can do it. We just need to act FAST.
