.....the cuts to programs would be deeper than anything that has been done before this.....

√ If you have insurance with Aetna, you might be interested in this from CREW:
Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)
sent a letter to Mark T. Bertolini, chairman, CEO, and president of the
insurance giant Aetna, asking his company to stop using corporate funds
to influence elections. This request follows an SNL Financial story
revealing that Aetna has contributed more than $3.3 million to the
American Action Network (AAN) and nearly $4.5 million to the Chamber of
Commerce.
AAN is a shadowy 501(c)(4) organization that broke both tax and
campaign finance laws in its quest to influence the 2010 elections, and
the Chamber is one of the biggest political players. While corporations
traditionally pay dues to the Chamber, in 2010 Aetna reported dues of
just $100,000 – almost $4.4 million less than Aetna contributed to the
Chamber in 2011. These payments indicate Aetna surreptitiously has
spent well over $7 million to influence Americans at the polls.
How disgusting!

>> Did you know that President Barack Obama has created more jobs in his few years in office than former President George W. Bush created in 8 years?
>>>> Mitt Romney will be in Cincinnati, visiting a business owner that has contributed $7500 to one of George W. Bush's favorite Congressmen, Steve Chabot (see Open Secrets). I wonder if Romney will arrive with one of his dressage horses on the top of his car, as Stephen Colbert suggested last night. (See Opposing Views for pic.)

>>>> There is a new ad in Ohio featuring washed up, right winger, Pat Boone. I don't take any advice from him, let alone an endorsement. With news that Pat Boone is teaming up with Karl Rove to run ads against Ohio's Sherrod Brown, I'm confused about why they'd do such a thing. Josh Mandel has no experience, has never written legislation, is against teachers, firefighters, police officers, pay equity for women, Social Security, Medicare, public schools, health care for the poor, lower interest rates for college loans, reproductive freedom for women, equal rights for gays, etc. Why would anyone support right winger, Josh Mandel?
