Lake Worth Democrats-
OFA is looking for a canvasser to work out of Lake Worth, October 10 through the election. Pay is $1200.
OFA is also looking for an office space
to use as a staging area in the last 2 weeks of the campaign, something
out west. Toward Lake Worth Road and Military. This would be a place
to work out of during canvassing, to store extra water, walk lists,
flyers, and things, and to meet up at for people working the western
areas.
Let me know if you have an interest or if you know someone who might help.

Austerity is a policy view based on misunderstandings
"As we see in wartime or in financial crises when monetary means are
always found by governments to pay for needed goods and services, in an
era of fiat currencies, government spending of a currency issuing
government is not limited by taxes collected nor public debt issued,
which are operations that have functions different from the generation
of “revenue” for government, and in certain cases, are ritual vestiges
of an older era of convertible currencies. The recognition of the lack
of affordability constraints on monetarily sovereign governments is not
an invitation to spend with abandon but simply a fact of life and, like
it or not, a source of governmental power."
Civil Liberties: future threats
The next privacy battles will be over what you print at home, and access to your private networks. When you can print anything at home, lame headed legislators, heavily influenced by big business donors, will be asked to regulate what you do in your own home.

Uncovered news: The Erosion of American Justice
What Is Happening to Muslims Will Happen to the Rest of Us
“One of the misapprehensions of the last decade is that the government had to go outside the law to places like Guantanamo or Bagram to abridge the rights of suspects in the name of national security,” said Jeanne Theoharis, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College who has been an outspoken critic of the rights abridgement occurring in Article III courts. “But this is not the case. A similar degradation of rights that has characterized the prison at Guantanamo has also affected the judicial system within the United States. The right to dissent, the right to see the evidence against you, the right to due process, the right to fair and speedy trial, the right to have a judge who will be impartial, the right to fair and not disproportionate punishment, and the right not to be punished before you are convicted have been taken from us in the name of national security. It is not just in special secret prisons that this occurs, but also—dismayingly—within the U.S. federal courts.”
