O, Brother.... Where ART Thou?

Dear Representative Wilson,

I am appalled at your lack of civility, sir. Surely, coming from the South, you are aware of manners, of how to appropriately address someone. I know your momma raised you better than to yell at the President of the United States during a formal, televised event, calling the man a liar in the public forum. You showed incredibly poor judgment, astoundingly poor intelligence, and terrible rudeness. It was also libelous, inflammatory, and simply not helpful to the discourse that is needed.

Your people should demand more from you. I don’t know whether they will or not. If they do not, it is an equal failing on their part and shows an equal amount of small-thinking. I, however, do demand more from you than a sincere apology. I demand a truly good-faith show of effort for the American People, not just your constituents. I demand sweat and vigor for the Americans who are suffering, both those with and without healthcare, both those in and out of South Carolina. It’s time to put your money and effort, sir, where your mouth has already taken you.

Sincerely,

Tracee Roanna Flowers
Austin, Texas by way of Spartanburg, South Carolina

Apologies, Bitches

Good morning, my bitches! As you can tell, July was a very busy month for the revolution. I am deep in the planning stages of my manifesto (okay, it's a fiction trilogy). Look ahead in the next few days for additional features and fun. Hey, if you're going to have a revolution, you may as well enjoy the fireworks, right?

One Nation, Under Covered

Dear Senator Hutchison,

My name is Rowan Flowers and I am a RESULTS activist. I am writing to you today to encourage you to support the expansion of Medicaid, to ensure that everyone below 133% of the poverty line has access to the quality coverage that Medicaid provides. You are no stranger to the desperate need in your own home state, a state you hope to one day lead, and every state has its own story. Right now, every state also has its own funding crisis, some (Michigan) more than others (Texas). That is why it is very important that the federal government takes the initiative and finds the will to fund this expansion.

No union can be strong with a weak, sick or uneducated people. We doom ourselves by not tending to our most important infrastructure, our selves. It is essential to our survival. We are none of us separate or excluded from this shared fate. We are a nation, under covered.

Sincerely,
Rowan Flowers

Mascot of the Revolution: The Noble Llama

You spit at injustice. Your wool makes wonderful sweaters for The People. You are a sure-footed climber of mountains. And your cuteness could bring down empires. For all this, Noble Llama, we at revolutionbitches name you Mascot of the Revolution.

A Comedy Coup

This is the first time I have missed being in Portland. The world is still your bitch.

I Think I Hear The Man Crying...

The Man must wake up every day hating this kind of commune. My bitches, check out the link to the Avion Neighborhood in Grand Prairie. Ain't that a blip?
