If you care about politics --free elections and/or have poor memory--
LA Plaza Opening is sponsored by: the retailer under national boycott, including Los Angeles --first corporation to put money--they got from you--directly into campaign of a candidate (right-winger) for office last fall.
After no-longer supreme court 'declared': corporations are people --broke historic 125-year precedent that banned corporate money into campaigns, now unlimited money allowed in elections, thanks to deceiver of Congress "justice" John Roberts.
If you think that trivial --irrelevant --not your business: 0whom do you imagine electeds will serve? 0The public --or their corporate masters? 0You: 0Don't want corporate ads in schools --billboards at reservoirs --nukes in the neighborhood? 0Good luck with that.
Get Angry or
You can contact the retailer: 0tell them you're joining boycott now and all through Christmas --contact LA Plaza management: 0share your thoughts --or just ask your corporate pals to spend millions to buy your choice of candidate for you....

Tax Dodge... not daVine...
While You struggle to figure out taxes...
Corporations cozy with Congress: 0After they screwed Americans --on fraudulent mortgages --caused theft of pensions -homes -jobs --tanked the Stock Market -the economy:
00Not Enough we saved their asses, loaned them money at Zero interest, when Small Biz couldn't get a buck, now they want:00More.
Corporate tax dodgers --Already know what Uncle Sam will do
Burglars of America --BofA --GE --Wall Street weasels:00thanks to middle-income Americans they have Profit from Bailout --billions --but they will submit vast docs to net them tax REBATE --off economy they busted....
Monday April 18 --They can hide in offices, try to scurry out through garage like rats --You can do more than fume:
| Protest corporate tax dodgers: Monday—Tax Day—in Los Angeles |
| Host: Lisabeth R., MoveOn member Where: Corner of Sunset and Vine (in Los Angeles) When: Monday, Apr. 18, at 12:00 PM Can you come? Click below for more details and to RSVP:  I can come.  Sorry, I can't make it this time. What: While vital government services get cut, corporations like GE are making huge profits, but paying no federal taxes. So, on Monday—Tax Day—in Los Angeles, and at hundreds of events across the country, we'll gather outside the headquarters and local offices of the biggest corporate tax dodgers to deliver tax bills from the American people. We'll demand that our leaders make them pay up, instead of cutting billions from programs that would create new jobs, drive economic growth and help the needy and our nation's children. |

NOTES
I wrote pieces --intended to publish before this one, but 'genius' who "provides" wi-fi service doesn't Know How To do his job --couldn't even get a signal for three days.
If you are a techie--
--know a responsible one --a student who CAN/knows how to
provide/maintain wi-fi service, 24/7, for a few hundred bucks a month: PLEASE send me e-mail ASAP before we gang up on 'genius' moron --he looses what's left of his pea brains -some other body part.
