Welcome to the NatCap Club!

This site is happily dedicated to great teachers like Sister Shaun Paul, Sister Virginia Mary, & Father Maher from Queen of Apostles grade school in Riverdale, Illinois. And Mrs. Fagarason and other teachers at Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois.

1) A sure fire way to help get Obama & all Dem’s elected:

“Do you Denounce ALL White Supremacist Organizations” yes or no

Ask

FOX & their Advertisers, the NRA,
all Republican candidates
everyone who immorally profits from the KKK, John Birch’ers, para-military groups.

Just asking puts ’em in a lose-lose crisis.

2) Here it is – my first book:

PackerBackerBob!’s Guide to Global Prosperity

Strategies and Tactics you’ve NEVER, EVER heard before.

Examples:

Child Sexual and Physical Abuse: Where and How it Thrives – a dialog.
Understanding White Supremacists – How to get White People to Like Black People
Play the Game of Cut-throat Liberal Capitalism
Grow the “Do-Better Economy”

3) Project to improve race relations, by collecting stories from those who lived thru it – My high school’s Race Riot torn decade – 1968 to ’78

Stories from us who lived it as Teenagers. Mere kids. Learn from us.

Be you Black or White, if you lived Racial conflict growing up, Share your stories. Maybe this will help others. Together we can Bend the Arc of Justice a little bit

4) Creative essays – Private & Public -

5) MeetUP and Mingle Around with fun people around Chicago.

It’s free to join, and Jill ( she runs it) has GREAT EVENTS. (She’s well organized. Nice people attend. Single, or not. Some events do cost, but very reasonable)

I’m a co-organizer. Which means I initiate events too. Suggest stuff to her or me. Mingle Around

=++= Other Good Stuff =++=

a) Don’t let yourself get screwed just because you’re out of a Job! Say you work for Sunrise Spirits, Inc

b) MeetUp with others, here’s THE best way to get Badly behaving businesses to change.

Protest & Wack them at the store level. You can participate from anywhere in the world.

c) Get your UDa!

Join the 1st ever, “You-Done-Good” contest!

Here’s what this club is all about:

And the Do-Better Economy & associated Meetup.com group:

Unemployed People Unite!

November 5, 2009 at 6:11 pm · Filed under Surviving Disaster - Economic & Eological ·Tagged economic hard times, Unemployment, workers unite

Hi,

The last line of my last blog inspired me. We who are unemployed or damaged by this horrible economy- we must come together and get the attention of the powers that be. We are easily 15% of the poplulation. For those of us over 45, it’s 25% . Dat’s a bunch of people, and our needs must be addressed. Period. We are all totally screwed, and there’s no hope in sight.

Note: Damaged includes friends and family, the under-employed, those forced to work 2 jobs, those who live in constant fear of being let go….

There are lots of actions we as a group could take. A big idea would be a New Years Day Million Citizen march at the White House. Better yet, make in Christmas Day. But there’s lots of smaller actions we could take. We’ve got all the technology to do it. I will devote as many pages of this website as needed. And with a MeetUp.com group, we can do everything we need to do - get members to sign up (free), set meetings and promote them, create discussions, etc. We could have one MeetUp club for the country. There are lots of ways to make this happen.

But first we gotta mobilize. Let’s make this idea go viral throughout the Internet, thru your Social Networks – just like how people got Obama elected.

I can’t and won’t do this alone. I gotta job search too. You contact Move on.org with this. Blog, tweeter, facebook. Talk. Put it on your voice message. If people support this, then I will drop the $80 to create a Meetup.com group. I’ll call it “Unemployed People Unite“.

And sees here. I’s from da South Side of Che-ca-go, and if youse helps me out wit dis, den I will make sure youse get’s tak’in care of if it takes off. After all, dis is da land of “Where’s Mine.” Let’s get everybody from everywhere in on dis. Ok?

Job searching tips from you all

October 28, 2009 at 11:28 am · Filed under Surviving Disaster - Economic & Eological ·Tagged economic hard times, hard times, help each other, Obama, tips, Unemployment, union, workers unite

As I go to unemployed network meetings, people give others helpful ideas. For example, someone mentions they are Technical Writers. Somebody else sez ‘Oh, are you dialed into the Tech Writer association?” Or it’s fairly complex, and you want to tell them about it later. Whatever. Feel free to add it as a comment here. President Obama is doing what he can. I wish he could do more.

As (my recently unemployed) HR recruiter friend told me the other day “Getting thru HR to an interview is a game…ya gotta learn to game the system….Extraordinary times call for Extraordinary measures….” This is a good place to yell the Union slogan – “Workers Unite!” Somehow, we gotta find ways to help each other.
