A message from Bruce
Dear Friends:

The election is coming up on all of us and we all have strong feelings about it. I’ve been getting asked a lot about where I stand, so for those who are interested, here goes.

This presidential election is different than the last one because President Obama has a four year record to run on. Last time around, he carried with him a tremendous amount of hope and expectations. Unfortunately, due to the economic chaos the previous administration left him with, and the extraordinary intensity of the opposition, it turned into a really rough ride. But through grit, determination, and focus, the President has been able to do a great many things that many of us deeply support.

Domestically, that record includes working to increase and expand employment for all, protecting our all important social safety net, passing guaranteed health care for most of our citizens, with important new protections for all of the insured, rescuing the auto industry and so many of the American jobs that go with it, protecting and enhancing the rights of women, and bringing us closer to full acceptance of our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.

In foreign affairs, that record includes following through on the removal of troops from the misguided and deceptive war in Iraq, and vigorously pursuing our real foreign enemies, especially the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Right now the opposition’s resort to voter suppression in so many states is not receiving as much attention as it deserves. I believe that all of us, of whatever views, should be opposing these anti-voter, anti-citizen efforts.

Right now, for the President to be effective in his next term he needs our increased support and he needs support in the Congress, where some sterling candidates, such as current Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, challenger Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, and so many others, are fighting to make their constructive voices heard.

Right now, there is an ever increasing division of wealth in this country, with the benefits going more and more to the 1 percent. For me, President Obama is our best choice to begin to reverse this harmful development.

Right now, there is a fight going on to help make this a fairer and more equitable nation. For me, President Obama is our best choice to get us and keep us moving in the right direction.

Right now, we need a President who has a vision that includes all of our citizens, not just some, whether they are our devastated poor, our pressured middle class, and yes, the wealthy too; whether they are male or female, black, white, brown, or yellow, straight or gay, civilian or military.

Right now, there is a choice going on in America, and I’m happy that we live in a country where we all participate in that process. For me, President Obama is our best choice because he has a vision of the United States as a place where we are all in this together. We’re still living through very hard times but justice, equality and real freedom are not always a tide rushing in. They are more often a slow march, inch by inch, day after long day. I believe President Obama feels these days in his bones and has the strength to live them with us and to lead us to a country “…where no one crowds you and no one goes it alone.”

That’s why I plan to be in Ohio and Iowa supporting the re-election of President Obama to lead our country for the next four years.

Algore attempted to "stack the deck" by having vote counters in Florida make subjective decisions about what was a "VOTE" and what was merely a "dimpled or hanging chad". But I don't recall Algore telling his supporters to go out in the streets and pistol whip or kill Bush supporters or Bush if Bush won.

As usual katatonic, you just can't bring yourself to condemn what's not only beyond the pale in elections but is also illegal and amounts to 1st degree murder.

Wow, Bruce Springsteen is an O'Bomber supporter. Well now, that makes all the difference in the world. We'll all have to go out and vote for O'Bomber now...since a loudmouthed leftist moron singer supports O'Bomber.

If you can't trust a loudmouthed leftist moron supporter of O'Bomber to get it right, then who could you possibly trust?

if you're talking about a bunch of obviously deranged twitterheads, who you yourself said couldn't possibly be plants (that would go both ways despite your onesided remark) who exactly is going to lose sleep over their opinions??

i have never advocated any such thing and never will. you have the wrong cookie, sir!

yet when the doctor was shot in church you called it "rough justice" and you consistently espouse BEING ARMED against the government. you actually think that you would have assassinated hitler - and that would have solved everything during WWII...

Of course, most of us would tell Bruce baby to shut up and sing and leave heavy lifting...like thinking to those who actually have some functioning brain cells.

Billboards reminding voters that voter fraud is a felony...is voter intimidation?

God, some of you people really do have your heads screwed on backward.

Voter fraud IS A FELONY. The only ones embracing voter fraud are the usual suspects and O'Bomber's marching mushroom morons.

Tell you usual suspects what. If I were a judge and a clear cut case of voter fraud was found by a jury verdict, that fraudster is going to prison for the max sentence...for stealing the legitimate vote of an eligible voter.

Still haven't heard you condemn the attempted intimidation of voters katatonic. Murder and riots and pistol whipping da white folk don't seem to move you much.

I think we can all agree that we're already aware that voter fraud is illegal...even without Conservatives posting ad campaigns to reinforce that knowledge.

She's more intelligent than you are and well able to present her own views and make her own case for what she believes.

Get back to me when you're willing to condemn labor unions for telling their members how to vote in local, state and federal elections.

Don't think I didn't notice that you also fail to condemn those threatening and attempting to intimidate voters with threats of murder and riots in the streets if your little Marxist Messiah loses the election.

And still, usual suspects here cannot bring themselves to condemn intimidation and outright threats of murder if their little Marxist Messiah O'Bomber loses the election.

Why would anyone be surprised by leftists circling the wagons to protect other leftists?

They also wouldn't condemn a moron leftist twit telling his fellow political activists to lie about Republicans.

DON'T TALK ABOUT REPUBLICAN POLICIES, INSTEAD, CALL THEM RACISTS.

This says everything anyone needs to know about the mindset of leftists. The truth doesn't matter. Only leftist ideology matters.

We can all be quite certain that there are all kinds of people that are inappropriate, violent, and otherwise stupid or evil in both parties. Just as you're not here condemning every bad thing a person of your party does, nor am I or anyone else going to sit here addressing every little thing Conservatives dredge up in hopes of establishing some non-existant moral authority.

Nor should anyone be compelled to think or feel anything on the basis of YOUR morals. You are not our spiritual leader here. Nor will you ever be.

Amusing from a guy who hasn't addressed policies when making claims about stuff Obama is implied to have caused. You're a prime example of a person that doesn't address policy.

David Siegel ups minimum pay to $10 an hour

David Siegel ups minimum pay to $10 an hour
Orlando Sentinel staff report
David Siegel Central Florida Investments, Inc.

Central Florida time-share magnate David Siegel said Tuesday that he is raising his company's minimum pay to $10 an hour, starting Jan. 1.

In a news release, Siegel, CEO of Westgate Resorts, said new employees and those currently earning less than $10 per hour will receive the pay increase "with the exception of commissioned and tipped employees or employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement."

Company officials could not be reached for comment to say how many current employees would be affected.

"We're experiencing the best year in our history and I wanted to do something to show my gratitude for the employees who make that possible," Siegel said in the release, which also said the company would be awarding merit-pay raises for "all eligible team members." http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-david-siegel-raises-wages-20141014-story.html

Political issue I feel passionate about: I hope the president and Congress keep their nose out of the economy, because things have never been better. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2014/08/fun-facts-about-5-of-central-florida-s-most.html

A bullet point in another article also states:

• Westgate Resorts has rehired up to 5,000 employees — including most of those laid off during the recession, and added another 2,000 employees at its new Las Vegas resort. Siegel hopes to have his employee base back to pre-recession levels in the next couple of years. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/print-edition/2014/08/22/the-return-of-the-king-david-siegel-on-how-he.html?page=all

however another bubble in the wings has caused the lobby-owned congress to pass a clawback on Dodd Frank that will throw the cost of the next reversal back on the taxpayer and bank account holders...apparently banks will be allowed to seize assets of customers to stave off collapse...feeling comfy and cosy, are we?
