No more immoral and stupid than your support for the thug Obama who created this mess, you stupid cows.

BREAKING: 47 House Democrats just joined Republicans to pass a shameful anti-refugee bill, with a veto-proof majority.1

Our last chance to stop this xenophobic anti-refugee backlash is in the Senate.2 Will you chip in $3?

Click here to chip: Stand with refugees—and against anti-Muslim bigotry.

For more details on our emergency campaign, see Anna's message from late last night:


Dear MoveOn member,

The Paris attacks have sparked a massive wave of anti-Muslim bigotry.

We need to speak out against this racist, xenophobic backlash. Now.

At least 29 Republican governors—and even one Democrat—say they want to close their states to Syrian refugees.3 Indiana's governor has already turned a family away.4 Presidential candidates are talking about shutting down mosques and discriminating against refugees on the basis of religion.5,6 A state senator in Tennessee is proposing rounding up all Syrian refugees in the state.7

And now Republicans in Congress are threatening to cut off funding for refugee assistance while 4 million Syrian refugees are begging for help.8

This is immoral. And stupid. Because shutting out refugees doesn't make America safer—just the opposite: it fuels hatred at home, and resentment and extremism around the world. Will you chip in $3 to help fight back?

Click here to chip in and help fight the GOP's racist, anti-refugee backlash.

The first thing we need to do is hold governors accountable for attacking refugees. We've launched rapid-response campaigns in all 30 states, calling their governors out for this xenophobic pandering. More than 115,000 MoveOn members have already joined the call to stop attacking refugee families.

Second, we need to block Republicans in Congress from defunding refugee resettlement. This is the most cynical, immoral act you could imagine in response to a refugee crisis of this scale, and we're flooding Capitol Hill with phone calls and petition signatures to stop it.

Finally, we need to show the world that the hate mongers and racists don't speak for us. So we're teaming up with allies on college campuses and mobilizing MoveOn members on social media to show the world that we are a welcoming nation—and to push back against anti-refugee and anti-Muslim vitriol.

But this xenophobic anti-refugee backlash has intensified fast, which is why we need to raise at least $150,000 to enable all this work. Will you chip in $3?

Yes, I'll chip in to stand with refugees and against anti-Muslim bigotry.

This is an incredibly dangerous moment for America. If we don't push back against this outpouring of hate, it could spiral out of control into a wave of hate crimes like what we saw after 9/11—or get us stuck in another foolish war.

Republicans are telling people to be afraid of refugees. But over the past 40 years, America has taken in 2.5 million refugees.9 Not one terrorist attack has been committed in America by a refugee.10 Even the reports that the Paris attackers included a Syrian refugee are likely false.11

The truth is, attacking refugees makes America LESS safe by feeding extremist propaganda as a massively chaotic situation spills from Syria into Europe.

But the American people are scared. And they're being misled by shameless politicians pandering to hate. That's why we need to fight back now, before this gets out of control.

Will you chip in $3 to help stand against the anti-refugee backlash?

Click here to chip in and join the fight.

Thanks for all you do.

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: What I saw at a Syrian refugee camp

 

How about you tell your buddy Obama to stop his criminal terror attacks on the government of syria?

Have I told you yet today how much you 'humanitarian' interventionists sicken me?

I don't think so. you sicken me to the depths of my soul.

On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 11:53 AM, Senator Chris Murphy <moveon-help@list.moveon.org> wrote:
Dear MoveOn member,

A few months ago, I visited the Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan, the largest Syrian refugee camp and home to about 80,000 people. 

It is hard to describe with words what I saw. The camp was full of women and young children who fled Syria in fear for their lives. While I was there, I saw children as young as six years old digging trenches in the sand for raw sewage. I saw young boys and girls being kept home from school to do hard labor because the meager wage is the only way their families could afford to eat. And I heard stories of young girls sold into marriage so the rest of the family could afford to live in this perpetual state of despair. I saw desperation and want emanate from every corner of the camp.

This isn't just a humanitarian crisis, it has real national security implications. If we don't help feed and shelter these refugees, extremists like ISIS will. For years, I've called upon the United States to increase humanitarian aid to improve the conditions in refugee camps to help other nations bear the burden of displaced persons, and take in more refugees here at home. Finally, there is momentum growing to step up and meet this challenge. 

Over the next two weeks, the U.S. Senate will consider a bipartisan request for $1 billion in emergency funding to provide humanitarian relief to Syrian refugees, and it is CRITICAL that you make your voice heard on this issue.

I know my colleagues take calls from constituents seriously, so make the call and tell Senators Gary Peters and Debbie Stabenow you support emergency appropriations to provide humanitarian relief to Syrian refugees, and to please co-sponsor Senate Bill 2145, the Middle East Refugee Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Here's where to call:

Senator Gary Peters
Phone: (202) 224-6221

Senator Debbie Stabenow
Phone: (202) 224-4822

Then, please report your call by clicking here:

http://pol.moveon.org/call?tg=FSMI_2.FSMI_1&cp_id=2438&id=135073-19284091-r6SaKxx&t=1

Our nation has a long tradition of providing safe haven to refugees fleeing tyranny, violence, and persecution. We welcomed more than 200,000 refugees during the Balkan Wars, 700,000 refugees from Cuba, and more than 700,000 refugees from Vietnam. 

We are a VERY generous nation, always have been, but there is a double standard in our foreign policy today.

When America sets a military objective, we allocate every single dollar we need to accomplish that mission. But when it's a humanitarian objective, we only put in a share and expect others to fill the gap. That approach comes at a very real human cost in the region, and ultimately, to our credibility around the world.

That's one of the reasons I've led the effort to articulate a progressive vision for America's role in the world—one that exercises smarter power and influence by leaning into the world with something other than the pointed edge of the sword. Because the truth is, failing to invest in humanitarian programs can be just as dangerous to U.S. national security interests as failing to invest in military operations when they are necessary. As I've rolled out this new foreign policy direction, I've been grateful for the passionate feedback I've received from MoveOn members and for our steadfast partnership.

That's why I'm asking you to make your voice heard today. I know my colleagues will be waiting to see which way the calls come in on this issue. Pick up the phone and tell Sens. Peters and Stabenow to support legislation providing emergency humanitarian relief to help Syrian refugees. 

Here's where to call: 

Senator Gary Peters
Phone: (202) 224-6221

Senator Debbie Stabenow
Phone: (202) 224-4822

Then, please report your call by clicking here:

http://pol.moveon.org/call?tg=FSMI_2.FSMI_1&cp_id=2438&id=135073-19284091-r6SaKxx&t=2

With the civil war persisting in Syria, many families have been in these camps for two or three years, and I can tell you from my experience there, this is nowhere anyone would want to live. This explains why so many refugees are giving up on the camps and fleeing for Europe. They see no end to the civil war, and with little real humanitarian assistance on the way to make life in camps better, they flee, often risking their own lives and the lives of loved ones.

Thank you for standing with me on this issue.

Every best wish,

Senator Chris Murphy

The mature and intellegent Putin is wiping the world stage with the
stupid imperialists, and it's about time. There's a few billion
people that can see this, not as blinded by propaganda as you are.
Propaganda that must be quite similar to what would-be imperial Nazi
Germany was putting out then about the USSR. Like Napoleon and Hitler,
the modern day aspirants to global empire will dash themselves to
pieces in their attack on Russia. You're betting on the wrong dog in

Dude, you are totally looking for me. I am completely influenced by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Nirvana. I can talk for hours without playing a note, I've never been in a band that has lasted more than 2 weeks, my gear is shitty and alway broken down, my amp is broken, my PA doesn't work, and my guitar only has 3 strings.

I'm crazy as a bedbug, and wacky as a moose.


I do have some audio, I hope you won't hold it against me:  https://soundcloud.com/wacky-moose/

I hope you'll give me the opportunity to waste some of your time, like by talking about The Lunkheads, a band I will never actually get together.

Sincerely,

Matt Love

And, as the primary heats up, our team is working on more ways to make sure the candidates are directly and specifically addressing the issues most important to the 8 million-member MoveOn community.

If you were one of the tens of millions of Americans who tuned in to the multiple debates Republicans have held so far, you know that there was barely a mention—if any at all—of the issues that really matter to most Americans—protecting and expanding Social Security, getting big money out of politics, being able to drive to work without being taken into police custody or to go to school without fear of someone wielding a gun, addressing climate change, and more.

Let's make sure the Democratic debates don't go the same way.

Submit your question now.

Looking for some inspiration? Here are some of the questions MoveOn members have already submitted:

How will you defend and expand Social Security?—Donna, San Francisco, CA

What are you going to do to help People of Color achieve equality in America?—Tammarra, Mesa, AZ

What are your planned initiatives regarding climate change re: standing up to big business and oil companies?—Autumn, Sabael, NY

[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] WCBN

 

One of life's ironies: in your discussion of the redesign of the playlist page on WCBN's website, you were talking about the wonderful ability to go back even weeks later and find out what a song was.

I say ironic because the page had a perfectly functional search function that is now gone, and what they have instead is a totally unsearchable feature that only works even marginally if we know what DJ was on duty during the time frame we're searching.

I suppose this is the beginning of the end for me in this town. I can kiss goodbye playing any gigs at any of the places the cool kids hang out. I can forget being selected to ask a question during Q&A next time Noam Chomsky comes to town.  No grants, awards, publicity or whatever.  Because now I'm on my own. In a college town like this one (or Olympia) the lessons you learn in college are how to identify the future deciders, and how to let them decide without comment or opposition. That was true in a hippie college like Evergreen (maybe especially so) and I imagine it's true here.  Everything is supposed to hailed as progress, even if it's regression. But I can't help myself. It's a damn shame.

I haven't been able to stream the station online either for months, and can't get it on my home radio, so I can only listen to it in the car. I've explained this to station management already (I guess that was the beginning of the end, and now I'm in the middle of the end) and how I'd probably be listening to the station all the time, if only to get away from the vile swamp of Neoliberal Propaganda Radio, but they couldn't be bothered to respond. Do they care if anybody listens, really?  They get paid either way. No doubt that I'm riff raff out here in Ypsitucky.

I like your show. I'd like to like your station as much as I used to. Even more if there were actual progress, and not regression.
