On Money and politics mix for an evil brew, panelists say

Actually, if you will check, for the years 2007-2008, of the top 20 contributors to Paul Ryan's campaign committee, most were insurance, banking and investment companies. Since the companies themselves are not allowed to contribute, 98.2% of the total came from Political Action Committees associated with those companies, and 1.8% came from individuals associated with those same companies. And for the record, I do not belong to a union. Check for yourself at www.opensecrets.org .

The opening show at JPAC was "Janesville in Stages" written by Jim Lyke and cost $5 per ticket. I believe it will be shown on JATV this weekend. SpotLight on Kids does at least one show per year where you "pay what you can" at the door. Other users present multiple events every year at a variety of prices. The show this Sunday is the same band doing Saturday night and tickets cost $10.

JPAC is a beautiful venue and you don't have to drive an hour or more to get there. Thank you to the many civic minded people who made it possible, and thank you to the many volunteers who donate their time to keep it going.

Many of us have learned by experience that Ryan votes his own interests, that it is of no use to contact him with a different opinion---all you get is a letter re-stating his original position. He doesn't listen to any outside opinions. He is only influenced by his insurance/pharmacology/healthcare contributors in this case.

EvilConservative: Private schools can pick and choose which students they take and they do not provide all the services that public schools are required to provide. In fact, public schools are requred to provide some of those services to private school students, as well.

Good! His behavior toward an employee at a recent board meeting was reprehensible! Thank you to Bill Sodeman for calling him out on it. Now, if we can just get Severson to resign from the board.........

There are already people deciding who will live and who will die---they are called insurance companies who approve or deny who gets coverage. And how much $$ do their executives get?? And how much $$ do they "contribute" to your congressperson? Check it out at www.opensecrets.org.
