Earlier this month, Bank of America (BOA), the country’s largest bank, announced a moratorium on foreclosures in all 50 states.

Remember how excited you were at your real estate closing? What if they had really disclosed?

Foreclosure fraud is not just a disaster for homeowners who may be losing their houses to banks that lack standing. It’s a gigantic land mine as well, one that can blow up the entire world’s economy and send us all into the second “V” of a double-dip recession

Alan Grayson is a scrappy, ballsy, street fighting man, and I’d be afraid if I ever got on his bad side.

What if you told your local congress critter you’d oppose them if they funded more war, and they funded more war, but their opponent is even worse and a Republican?

Virtually all of the Republicans’ proposals to repeal or “chip away” at the health reform act would make Americans sicker, raise health care costs, reduce insurance coverage, allow or encourage insurers to bilk consumers and further liberate anti-competitive health care providers to fix prices and collude, to continuing charging far more than their European counterparts.

Over 1 million Californians are getting shafted with double-digit health insurance premium rate hikes. Tell Congress to pass the Public Option Act.

As the example of Tea Party Republicans turning against K Street Republicans like Daniel Webster shows the only people who support cuts to Social Security are DC elites in the beds of Wall Street and out of touch with the overwhelming majority on the left and right.

The response to developers and supporters with connections to the Muslim community in New York City, who wish to construct an Islamic cultural center that many now refer to as the “Ground Zero Mosque,” has a toxicity that is repulsive and entirely objectionable. Unfortunately, Democrats have shown an utter lack of leadership and continue to fail to confront the right wing’s whipping up of hysterical patriotism that has translated into fear and hatred toward Muslims.

Those now in power in the Obama administration are the heirs of the former Rockefeller Republicans who were ousted from the Republican Party by the extreme religious zealots who now dominate it. The fiscally corporatist but socially liberal Rockefeller Republicans (now Obama Republicans) have, under the rubric of the DLC, hi-jacked the Democratic Party. Time to restore real Democrats and real democratic values to power: real jobs and health care for real people, not endless corporate profits.
