Campaign” > Date: September 23, 2011 11:06:07 AM PDT > To: Desiregallo@gmail.com > Subject: Nearly 400,000 Signatures! Let’s Make Some More Noise! > Reply-To: “Robert Applebaum, Want a Real Economic Stimulus and Jobs Plan? Forgive Student Loan Debt! Campaign” > > > > Dear Desire: > > Thank you for signing the petition to Forgive Student Loan Debt as a Means of Economic Stimulus! Thanks to so many people sharing, posting, emailing and tweeting, as well as MoveOn.org’s promotion of the petition, nearly 400,000 people have signed it! There’s absolutely no doubt that we’re making waves and getting noticed, but this campaign is really just beginning. There’s more work to be done! > > Today, I’m asking you to take a few moments of your time to remind those who purport to represent us in Washington that we truly care about this issue and that we’re not going away! > > Therefore, I’m asking everyone to please call your Senators and Representatives in Congress TODAY and ask them to support H.Res 365 and the efforts of Rep. Hansen Clarke with respect to student loan forgiveness. > > Signing a petition is one thing, but flooding the Congressional switchboard with calls from every state in the nation and from all political stripes and backgrounds is quite another. It’s extremely important to remind Congress that there’s a human being behind every single one of the nearly 400,000 signatures we’ve obtained thus far, and that every single one of them is truly suffering under the weight of their student loan debts, preventing them from spending, starting businesses or families and buying homes - the very things we need middle-class and working-class Americans doing right now to help re-build the economy that was nearly destroyed 3 years ago. > > To quickly and easily find out who your Senators and Representatives are and to obtain their D.C. office telephone numbers, please click here. > Then, simply type in your address and/or zip code and 3 names should immediately pop up - your state’s two Senators, as well as your Member of Congress. Call all three at their D.C. offices today and implore them to listen to the voices of the American people who are speaking up loudly on the issue of crushing student loan debt. > To whatever extent possible, please try to stick with calling their Washington, D.C. offices so as to make the greatest impact possible. If we can jam up the Congressional phone lines - all the better! > Thanks again for all of your help in making this petition such a huge success! Let’s keep the momentum building! > > Sincerely, > > Rob Applebaum, Esq. > Founder, ForgiveStudentLoanDebt.com > > >

Quote 6520Notes

Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…

You know how people say there’s a soundtrack to our lives? Well this song covers a very specific time for me. This was on repeat on the way back to NY 3 weeks before moving right back here to my real home. It was when I left my husband mentally. When I made the decision and severed the last of my emotional ties. I got amped like Rocky to do some serious damage, to really start fighting back. My days of being a shrinking violet emotionally were OVER!

The parts I held onto (besides the overall angry, “Fuck You” vibe):

“Yeah, my life a bitch, but you know nothing about her
Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers

Yeah, put a dick in their mouth, so I guess it’s “fuck what they say”
I’m high as a bitch: up, up and away
Man, I come down in a couple of days
OK, you want me up in a cage, then I’ll come out in beast mode

So you can keep knocking but won’t knock me down
No love lost, no love found

It’s a little too late to say that you’re sorry now
You kicked me when I was down
But what you say, just (don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more)
That’s right bitch: and I don’t need you, don’t want to see you
Bitch you get (no love)
You showed me nothing but hate
You ran me into the ground
But what comes around goes around
I don’t need you (don’t hurt me)
You (don’t hurt me no more)

I’m alive again
More alive than I have been in my whole entire life

I ain’t never giving in again
Caution to the wind, complete freedom

I’m standing on my Monopoly board
That means I’m on top of my game and it don’t stop
Til my hip don’t hop anymore
When you so good that you can’t say it
Because it ain’t even cool for you to sound cocky anymore

You can never break my stride
You never slow the momentum at any moment I’m about to blow
You’ll never take my pride

Ain’t letting up, relentless
I smell blood, I don’t give a fuck: keep giving them hell
Where was you when I fell and needed help up?
You get no love

I couldn’t have said it better myself… stfuconservatives: goodreasonnews: Here a great example of how I think the conservatives really see it. Here we see a heartless, brainless boss dismissing the idea of shared sacrifice and patriotism in favor of self interest. He can’t possibly deal with the idea of making less money than he made the year before so rather than cut back on his own expenses he ruins someone else’s life. And even though this conservative assertion that this is the reason raising taxes on the rich doesn’t work is exactly the same reason why rich people won’t create jobs, they can’t see that. They can’t see the greed and self interest of people who would sooner fire an employee (or 60, or 600) or send jobs to overseas slaves & child laborers than take a pay cut themselves and spread the pain, yet they glorify WWII era ideals of patriotism. American families and companies throughout WWII sacrificed for their country. What have these bastards sacrificed? Imagine the scoffs from the conservatives of today if the government asked them to donate their aluminum or to grow their own vegetables. Imagine the cries of “fascist communist!” if Obama told sugar manufacturers to conserve a portion of their product for American soldiers rather than put it on the free market. They scream about it being their right and at the same time turn around and accuse liberals of acting entitled. There’s a double standard in everything they say and it’s partially a world-view problem (I bet a lot of them have strict daddy-issues), but it’s mostly a disguise to hide their true selfish, greedy nature. Like a closeted gay politician who writes the most anti-gay bills in the country, the typical conservative adorns his home, car and office with patriotic imagery and commits golden-era fallacies on a daily basis, but have no real respect for the country. They’d sooner hold their employees hostage in exchange for a tax break than participate in any sort of ‘shared sacrifice.’ They mask their confederate sympathies behind a veneer of red, white and blue, but when it comes time to act like an American, like a patriot during WWII would, they show the world their true color: green. All of this. Via STFU, Conservatives Zoom

Easy - Boyz II Men

Know it sounds funny
But I just can’t stand the pain
Girl I’m leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I’ve done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed

Ooh, that’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning

Why in the world
Would anybody put chains on me?
I’ve paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I’m not happy when I try to fake it!
No!

Oh, that’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning

I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free
Just me, babe!

That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning
Because I’m easy
Easy like Sunday morning
Because I’m easy
Easy like Sunday morning
