WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?

Research Your Representatives Voting History

4USXUS tool is a nonpartisan website that gives you an awesome overview of how your government works and how much you really line up with your elected officials. We’ve talked about it before, but today we want to dive into the details of how it works.  

First, Find Out Who Your Representatives Are THEN Follow bills and vote to build your approval rating - A new way of holding Congress accountable.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself, any direction you choose. – Dr. Seuss

1. If you already have a relationship with your congressional delegation, call them.

2. If you don't already have a relationship with them, fax a letter to their DC office and mail a copy to their district office. Don't email (it won't get noticed) or call (you'll only talk to a staffer). Don't use a form letter.  Don't use group letters (multiple signatures).

Apps Make Pestering Congress So Easy That It Can’t Keep Up

Let your state's advocacy group know your efforts so they know when they visit the congressmen.

PRINT OUT EVERYONE'S PHONE NUMBER
THE ROOT OF EVIL IS THE 0.05% WHO FUND POLITICIANS

Keep in mind that every fax or voice call is interpreted by your congressperson as equal to the opinion of many more constituents who don't call. You can make a difference! In the following listing, members are listed in state postal code order. That is the way my program outputs the data (NOTE: currently only 1 out of 540 members of Congress have traditional e-mail addresses, although almost all keep a page online for electronic correspondence from constitutents). When contacting members of Congress, keep in mind to be formal and to the point or your letter may be ignored. Also, keep in mind this advice from Lawrence Rudner, Director of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Evaluation:  
"Your letter should go to your Senator or Representative and should be no longer than one page, two brief paragraphs are best. Identify yourself, your  affiliation, and your major concern in the first paragraph. You should describe why the concern is important and worthwhile in the second paragraph. End with your postal address. Keep it concise!"

TAXES

Currently there is only 35% top rate for those making more than $1 million. Increase this to 50% on those making more than $10 million and also  tax their  dividends and capital gains as ordinary income (currently, they are taxed at a maximum rate of 15 percent).

DARK MONEY Radio and cable stations must upload political ad data to public online database
On June 24, the Federal Communications Commission began requiring the nation’s radio broadcasters and cable television stations to upload all of their political add to a public online database. TV broadcasters have been doing so since the last presidential election. The FCC’s decision to expand its online public file is important in the context of campaign 2016 because it vastly expands the field of vision for reporters and citizen monitors who are trying to track the efforts of dark-money groups to influence the elections.

FEDERAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME PROSECUTIONS 20 YEAR LOW
Federal prosecution of individuals identified by the government as white collar criminals is at its lowest level in the last twenty years, according to the latest data from the Justice Department.  The available records show an overall decline that began during the Clinton Administration, with a steady downward trend — except for a three-year jump early in the Obama years — continuing into the current fiscal year. Twenty years ago, mail fraud under 18 USC 1341 was the most frequent lead charge. Ten years ago it was bank fraud under 18 USC 1344. Five years it was aggravated identity theft under 18 USC 1028A.  Currently, fraud by wire, radio or television under 18 USC 1343 tops the list of lead charges. This also topped last year's list. In second place are frauds involving public money, property or records under 18 USC 641. Bank fraud, which as mentioned above was in first place ten years ago, has fallen to third place.

 London is the home of the 1%
Per head, there are more so-called ultra-high net-worth individuals (UHNWI) in London than anywhere else on the planet. These are defined as people with $30m (£21m) or more in assets apart from their main home. The estate agents Knight Frank recently reported that 4,224 “Ultra” families were living in London, with the number expected to reach 5,000 by 2024. Britain’s lax tax regime. As Pippa Malmgren, one-time economic adviser to George Bush, put it: “The crackdown on tax havens in Switzerland has removed these old options for new capital. As a result, there has been a huge influx of global capital into the UK.”
"Descent into Slavery" by Des Griffin in which the real meaning of the term "City of London" is explained. The following is an excerpt from that article.

"To the majority of people the words "Crown" and "City" in reference to London refer to the queen or the capital of England."  This is not the truth. The "City" is in fact a privately owned Corporation – or Sovereign State – occupying an irregular rectangle of 677 acres and located right in the heart of the 610 square mile ‘Greater London’ area. The population of ‘The City’ is listed at just over four thousand, whereas the population of ‘Greater London’ (32 boroughs) is approximately seven and a half million.  

"The Crown" is a committee of twelve to fourteen men who rule the independent sovereign state known as London or ‘The City.’ ‘The City’ is not part of England. It is not subject to the Sovereign. It is not under the rule of the British parliament. Like the Vatican in Rome, it is a separate, independent state.  “The City”, which is often called “the wealthiest square mile on earth,” is ruled over by a Lord Mayor. Here are grouped together Britain’s great financial and commercial institutions: Wealthy banks, dominated by the privately-owned Bank of England, Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange, and the offices of most of the leading international trading concerns. Here, also, is located Fleet Street, the heart and core of the newspaper and publishing worlds.

When the Queen of England goes to visit the City she is met by the Lord Mayor at Temple Bar, the symbolic gate of the City. She bows and asks for permission to enter his private, sovereign State. During such State visits  “the Lord Mayor in his robes and chain, and his entourage in medieval costume, outshines the royal party, which can dress up no further than service uniforms. The Lord Mayor leads the queen into his city. The symbolism is clear. The Lord Mayor is the monarch. The Queen is his subject.
