Rev Bruce Wright Speaks Out On Terrorist Attack In Virginia
To Whom It May Concern For Immediate Release Concerning Vicious attacks by White Supremacists and White Nationalists Against Protestors
We, the undersigned, unequivocally condemn the actions and violent protests of Neo Nazis, White Supremacists, and White Nationalists in Charlottesville VA. Furthermore, we will not tolerate Racists or Fascists that support Islamaphobia, sexism, racism, homophobia, classism, or Anti immigrant actions. We call for immediate legal actions against these White Nationalists. We call for President Trump and the Government of the US to condemn these actions. We call for the arrest on charges of terrorism against these white supremacists, especially those involved in the injury and death of Anti Fascist protestors at the hands of the vehicle that ran over protestors. Finally, we condemn Trump, the US Government, the Governor of Virginia and the state and local Police for their lack of action against these White Nationalists for their violent actions. We further call the Police and Government as complicit, especially the Trump Adminstration, in those who died and were injured in these brutal attacks. We also hold Fire officials guilty for allowing the Nazi style torch march. We demand that actions happen immediately against the organizers of this rally and march. We demand that actions happen immediately and with extreme prejudice.
Sincerely,
Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign, Refuge Ministries of Tampa Bay, Pinellas County Green Party, Revolutionary Road Radio Show, and Revolutionary Caucus of Tampa Bay

Scott Shoup On GOP Tax Reform
"I'm really becoming tired of reading in major new outlets that tax reform is the Republicans signature issue. They can't have an honest discussion on the effects of high-end tax cuts on the economy, seeing how they ran on a platform of budget deficits all during the Obama administration. Now in 2017, with honest Republicans like William Buckley and Nelson Rockefeller long gone from the stage, Republicans will rely on a extremely dumbed-down voter base and a President who is a master of media manipulation to try and pass their economic poison. Of course, I should mention corporate Democratics , too."
