A Shout Out for LISA!

A Shout Out for LISA!

by A.J. Matthews

The people who need solar power most are those least likely to be able to afford it - at the moment. The Low Income Solar Act (LISA) will be good for the environment, good for the economy, good for creating and sustaining new jobs, and will be far cheaper than yet another war for oil. Why kill thousands of people in pursuit of oil? Why dig up 200 million-year-old sunlight when we can have the fresh stuff every day? Why continue to pollute the air with carbon emissions?

With the Low Income Solar Act, this puts affordable solar power within reach of ordinary people. This will save money, help the world, and save the Earth for future generations.

Great blog, AJ! I like how Bernie is taking a leadership position on green energy like solar. A clean, green happier tomorrow for all people--not just the billionaires. :)

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” — Frederick Douglass

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

"Pessimist because of intelligence, but optimists because of will." - Antonio Gramsci

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." - Alice Walker

"Laws should be made to serve the people. People should not be made to serve the laws." - Huey P. Newton

"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul." -Thomas Paine

"The country is in deep trouble. We've forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances, we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that's the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word." - Dr. Cornel West

Progressive Henry Wallace in 1948: “Both parties—as the record makes clear—are the champions of big business. Republicans admit it. Democrats attempt to conceal it.”

"The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity ... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

~ Vice President Henry A. Wallace

April 9, 1944

“Every time they strike a blow, they add a thousand new voices to the hosts proclaiming that socialism is the hope of humanity and has come to emancipate the people from their final form of servitude.”

Eugene V. Debs, 1918

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair.
