Let’s save everything we can!

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 7, 2015 by adminJanuary 8, 2015

We need more, not fewer, trees Regarding wilderness areas: Now that we are quickly progressing into climate change, I find it very foolish to talk about cutting down any trees since they are the only protector we have against rising temperatures. Instead of cutting trees, we should be discussing where else we can add wilderness areas and what other tree areas can be improved. I lived in California all those … Continue reading →

We need to bail ourselves out!

Asheville Progressive Posted on January 6, 2015 by adminJanuary 6, 2015

We have to bail ourselves out! Our environment is under attack from the Corporate state. Our food is being proven to be hazardous to our health. Our police state is responding to civil unrest the only way it knows how: with more racially-fuelled force. Our incomes have been flat for over 40 years. Unlike with the criminal banksters, our government isn’t going to bail us out. Tom Kociemba … Continue reading →

Minimum wage increase!

Asheville Progressive Posted on December 31, 2014 by adminDecember 31, 2014

This is from Daily Kos: MINIMUM WAGE. Increasing the minimum wage is an easy way to get more money in the pockets of people who need it the most, especially in states with low wages and low costs of living. Arkansas, for instance, raised its minimum wage to $8.50 an hour by 2017, even at the same time as they were turning out Mark Pryor by double digits—Issue 5 passed … Continue reading →

Raleigh News and Observer December 26, 2014 In NC, end the cycle of gerrymandering Make no mistake. Republicans who took charge of drawing legislative and congressional district lines after the 2010 census didn’t invent the game of sketching the districts to give them a partisan advantage in electing legislators and members of Congress of their party. Yes, the Democrats who ran the show in North Carolina did that for decades. … Continue reading →
