http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/category_rss/nativeamerican U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms (R-What's Wrong With You Sick, Frothing Morons?) is finally dead. Happy birthday, U.S. of A. Helms was a hate-slathered cretin, whose campaigns and governing showed American democracy at its worst. "White people, wake up before it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races," thundered just one of many Helms' attacks over the decades. Conservatives are saddened by the news. "Ol' 27 percent"  George W. Bush was soiling his White House crying towel, calling Helms "kind," "decent" and "humble." And while he had some admirers in Wisconsin, most notably Supreme Court Justice-Elect Mike Gableman's ad-writing team , Helms was a racist thug and the world mourns, simply because it took him so, so long to exit the world he befouled for over eight decades. For my dough, I'm hoping Wonkette Editor Ken Layne has penned in "Jesse Helms: American Garbage," what will be a waterfall of appropriate tributes . Feel free to add even better ones to the comment portion of this blog. Helms deserves it for all he did to people of color, gays, the poor and this nation's sense of decency.      http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/scotross/CHjF http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/scotross/CHjF/commentary#comments Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:31:37 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/scotross/CHjF Scot @ One Wisconsin Now http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/b15bea43ee26199f1d_l7awmvb5t.jpg Scot @ One Wisconsin Now 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHjF/ The resident's of the A.O. Smith/Tower Automotive neighborhood and everyone who feels personally connected to the site have decided it is time they build a united front for change in their neighborhood. They are researching Community Advisory Board models around the country with the hopes of creating their own board here in Milwaukee. The board will not be a 501c3, will be autonomous from any funding strings and will speak directly to the needs and the political concerns of the residents. Residents who are interested in helping this effort should attend the next neighborhood meeting on May 10th, 2008 at the Center Street Library. (27th and Fond du Lac) at 10:15 AM. This meeting is open to anyone who cares about what is happening in our city and believes that residents should have the opportunity to compete for the jobs our money creates! http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8/commentary#comments Mon, 05 May 2008 12:58:21 EDT http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/post/jenniferlepps/C2P8 Jennifer Epps http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/profile_picture/e70f0a69f56dbd7c0d_7cm6beyip.jpg Jennifer Epps 0 http://www.onewisconsinnow.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2P8/
