Progressive America Rising via Politico
January 18, 2013 - As President Barack Obama approaches his second inaugural on Monday, he presides over a party that has largely papered over its divisions for the past four years thanks to the president?s commanding popularity.
But almost as soon as the echo of Obama?s inaugural address fades and he becomes a lame duck, Democrats are going to have to face a central and unresolved question about their political identity: Will they become a center-left, Democratic Leadership Council-by-a-different-name party or return to a populist, left-leaning approach that mirrors their electoral coalition?
(Also on POLITICO: Dems' hard road to House majority)
An immediate answer may come in the entitlement debate and whether Obama and congressional Democrats will agree to any Social Security or Medicare benefit cuts to achieve deficit reduction, said a wide-ranging group of Democratic elected officials and strategists.
?In the short term that?s the flash point,? said longtime Democratic consultant Paul Begala.
But as moderate Republicans become an ever rarer breed and more centrists find a home in the Democratic coalition, the party also must reconcile exactly who they are on a broader panoply of economic issues including Wall Street regulation and public employees. As 2016 grows nearer, and their presidential hopefuls begin openly maneuvering, Democrats must decide whether they want to be principally known as the party of Rahm Emanuel or the party of Elizabeth Warren.
?One of the challenges is how we continue to do the right thing while working with a wide coalition of people, both workers and business,? said Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

For decades, it was culture that divided Democrats internally as they scrambled to fend off GOP charges of extremism on issues ranging from race to gender to gay rights. But thanks to Bill Clinton nudging the party on matters like welfare reform and to broader cultural shifts in the country, there?s now a consensus on social issues: Democrats overwhelmingly are in agreement on abortion rights, same-sex marriage and immigration reform. And while there may be tensions within the party?s ranks on Capitol Hill on gun control, there?s wide and deep consensus on the issue in statehouses and among the grass roots.
It?s not so much Obama?s policy choices that have reshaped the party as much as it is the rise of the Obama coalition ? a largely tolerant amalgam of youth, minorities and women. It?s unthinkable, for example, that any serious Democratic White House contender in 2016 would not toe the party line on such issues. The Republicans are now the ones confronting internal divisions on such cultural matters as they contend with how to appeal to a rapidly changing country.
(Also on POLITICO: Democratic hopefuls see political gain in gun fight)
?The center has moved,? said veteran Democratic strategist Mandy Grunwald.
For Democrats, the gulf is over fiscal and class issues, between their populists and their elites on how to appeal to a broad group of voters while retaining their traditional commitment to those in need. In other words, finding a way forward that represents the interest of their supporters making six (or seven) figures in places like McLean, Va., and Bryn Mawr, Pa., while staying true to middle-class backers in La Crosse, Wis., and doing right by the poor of Albuquerque and Philadelphia.
?The real struggle within the Democratic Party is where you stand on income inequality and whether the government needs to be a part of fixing that problem,? said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. ?The demographics that the Democratic Party must attract are the people who need responsive government.?
Moderate Democrats counter that center-versus-left formulations are outdated ? while making an emphatic case for pragmatism.
?I know what has been incredibly successful for the party and country: the banner of reform and change,? said Emanuel, adding that there is ?no part of the budget that?s immune to reform and change? so long as Democrats don?t abandon their traditional ?mission.?
How exactly that mission is defined promises to shape the coming debate over Social Security and Medicare.
The differences in the Democratic coalition are razor sharp. Take the question of whether Obama and Congress should consider raising the eligibility age for future Medicare recipients as a way to find savings.
?That stuff you debate out,? said Emanuel, adding: ?I don?t think raising the age of Medicare to 67 is a centrist or a liberal idea.?
But to a progressive stalwart like Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) such an idea isn?t just ill-considered ? it?s ?morally reprehensible.?
?That is such a Washington, Heritage Foundation construction,? Brown said of raising the eligibility age.
Reminded that some of his own colleagues are open to it, he shot back: ?They?re wrong.?
And he wondered, speaking of both Democratic and Republican advocates of such reform, ?Do they not ever talk to factory workers, construction workers, people that work in diners??
Such talk exasperates centrist Democrats like Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, a second-termer who has taken the helm of the National Governors Association.
?I hope we?re the party of math,? said Markell, saying of the eventual costs of Medicare and Social Security: ?It doesn?t make any sense to put our head in the sand on this issue.?
The Delawarean called reflexive opposition to structural reform in New Deal and Great Society programs is short-sighted.
?It?s easy to try to take the populist approach,? he said. ?But in the long run not sustainable. The sooner we figure that out the better.?
Matt Bennett, a top official at the centrist group Third Way, said there?s a pragmatic case for Democrats to embrace entitlement reform now.
?It?s insane to not try to do a big deal right now because every minute you wait the deal gets worse,? said Bennett. ?Do we really want to turn over entitlement reform to Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio? Because let?s face it [Republicans] have a 50 percent chance of being president. The same party rarely gets third terms. Why gamble instead of having President Obama cut this deal??
Even Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and 2004 White House hopeful, a progressive on some issues, said it makes sense for Democrats to act now on entitlements.
?I would advise [Obama] to go ahead with changing the entitlements because if we do it?s going to be much better than if the Republicans do it,? Dean said, ?If you?re willing to show some courage and do some thinking, this can be done and should be done by [the Democrats].?
Liberals dismiss such fretting, arguing that the country?s fiscal straits are overstated and, anyway, pale in comparison to joblessness of the present that needs more urgent attention.
?The best way to get out of a deficit is to grow your way out of a deficit,? said American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten. ?We have an object lesson from what Europe has done ? just going at it from austerity does not work. There has to be a balanced approach, and there are those of us who will fight very hard against benefit cuts in Medicare or Medicaid or Social Security because we know people are living on this.?
AFL-CIO political director Michael Podhorzer was even blunter.
?There?s no denying that there are two Democratic parties,? said Podhorzer. ?One that has a fair amount of allegiance to Wall Street and to the notion that it?s no big deal to raise the retirement age or cut benefits. They see the Democratic coalition of the future being more upscale. But there?s a big part of the party that still sees Democrats as still being anchored by downscale.?
?There?s a schism up-down,? said Begala.
Labor officials point to the stark numbers from last year?s presidential election: Mitt Romney won 53 percent of the vote among those making over $50,000 a year while Obama captured 60 percent with those making less than $50,000.
And the growing share of minority voters in the country should ensure Democrats hew to a liberal line, said Center for American Progress head Neera Tanden.
?As you look through presidential elections, I do believe we?re going to see a more and more and more diverse electorate,? Tanden said, adding that the broadening of the Obama electoral coalition into a ?bigger and bigger share of the electorate is going to mean a more progressive posture on issues?
The disconnect in the party now is between many of their elected officials and a sizable chunk of their base.
Brown, a traditional populist who has kept to the true faith even since moving from the House to the Senate, lamented that among members of both parties his new chamber ?has an upper-class accent.?
Look no further than Brown?s 2010 amendment to the Dodd-Frank legislation introduced along with former Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.) that would have broken up the country?s biggest banks. It got only 33 ?yeas? and faced a bipartisan wall of opposition.
The issue of Wall Street reform, while somewhat dormant since the passage of Dodd-Frank, is another major fault line in the Democratic family and raises a sensitive topic: the provenance of campaign funds for a significant number of their elected officials.
?The problem is that Wall Street money in both parties has silenced the establishment of both parties,? said Jeff Connaughton, Kaufman?s former chief of staff and the author of ?The Payoff,?a cri de coeur on the political power of banks. ?Until we have another meltdown the lesson is that even a devastating financial crisis can be managed from Bob Rubin?s front porch.?
?I wouldn?t be fully candid if I were to say to you that Democrats aren?t overly dependent on Wall Street,? Ellison said.
?A party in bed with Wall Street wouldn?t have passed Dodd-Frank,? fired back Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.).
But to the likes of Markell, Wall Street ought not be vilified.
?My hope for our party is that we remember that 99 percent of workers at financial institutions are good, middle-class people,? he said. ?They?re an easy target, but we need a vibrant financial services industry and I don?t think we do a lot of good when we pick these battles.?
Brown said he?s going to keep pushing his legislation to break up the banks and he and other progressives pointed hopefully to the arrival of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a political force who could keep the pressure on Wall Street.
As 2016 grows nearer, the other major fault line likely to emerge on the issue of public employees. Democratic governors and mayors grappling with strained budgets are having to do battle with unionized government workers who often double as the worker bees in Democratic campaigns.
Emanuel, who clashed with his city?s teachers union last year, said he was focused on the greater good of his community even if that meant not always pleasing municipal unions. He recalled contentious town hall meetings over whether or not to lay off some of the city?s downtown traffic aides.
?Is the budget about traffic aides or is it about moving traffic efficiently through the city?? he asked.
New York Andrew Cuomo has also incurred the wrath of public employees in his state thanks to similar budget battles.
He memorably called himself ?a progressive Democrat who?s broke? in his first year in office.
Indeed, Cuomo has been a living testament to the friction between pragmatism and some strains of progressivism in governing, just as Obama has. After tilting early toward the center on fiscal issues and ?tangling,? as he put it, with public-sector unions to rein in costs, he gained national credibility with his party?s base when New York passed its gay marriage law. Yet he still became a favored target of liberal commentators during 2012 and recently has begun repositioning himself under the ?progressive? rubric as firmly as possible.
Looking ahead to 2016, a harder line on public spending could be for the next generation?s center-left Democrats what welfare reform was for Bill Clinton ? proof positive that DLCers were serious about the ?responsibility? part of ?opportunity, responsibility and community.?
?The main dividing line in the party will be: How do we go forward in a cost-constrained environment? How do we project a vision for progressive government when we don?t have any money?? said Bennett.

Your Fortune at Birth - Part 1
From the Imperial Tung Shu comes this incredible poem of the four seasons ascribed to the legendary Yellow Emperor. From the poem can be obtained general indications of what life holds in store for a newborn baby. It is believed that depending on your season of birth, your life can be full of burdens or full of abundance. It all depends on which part of the Emperor's body you were born on. We present here brief predictive details of the four seasons poem for those wishing to investigate how, and at what stage of their life, they will enjoy the patronage and goodwill of the Emperor.
The incredible Chinese Tung Shu is filled with the most fascinating esoteric information relating to destiny analysis, as well as the meanings of signs, marks and symbols. One of the more tantalizing chapters relate to making a quick and general forecast of a person's life destiny, based on the seat assigned to us when we are born. This is based on the season of one's birth, as well as the time of birth i.e. the exact time when the baby is expelled or removed from the mother's womb.
Thus you first need to determine the season of birth - spring, summer, autumn or winter. The season of spring would be March, April and May; the season of summer would be June, July and August; the season of autumn would be September, October and November; while the season of winter would be December, January and February.
Next, you will need to determine your hour of birth based on the 12 earthly branches. This divides a 24-hour day into twelve time segments of two hours each, with each time segment representing one of the Chinese astrological animals.
With these two pieces of information, you then need to look at the illustrations of the Yellow Emperor wearing the robes of the seasons - green robes for the spring, red robes for the summer, white robes for the fall and blue robes for the winter.
Look at the Emperor that corresponds with your season of birth, then locate on which part of the Emperor you were born based on your time of birth. Note from the time chart of the twelve time segments that each two-hour period has a special name.
Locate the hour name on the Emperor's body and then check against the meaning given. For example, if your hour pillar is Mao in the season of summer, you look for the illustration of the Emperor in the summer season, locate where your hour name is located on his body and then read the meaning given under summer.
Use the table and diagram here to determine on which part of the Emperor you were born, then refer to the descriptions below to find your destiny.
Born in the Spring (March, April, May)
Born on the Emperor's Head
You will hold a high position in life. You have power and great intellectual capability. You are also blessed with wisdom. This person has authority, power and responsibility. Such a person must be well brought up and properly educated.
Tze & Wei
Born on the Emperor's Hands
Your attainments will be average and it is more beneficial if you work at starting your projects as the second-in-command and not as the leader. You can rise up high being the right-hand-man of someone powerful and wealthy.
Yu & Mao
Born on the Emperor's Shoulders
You will never be short of clothes on your back, which means you will always be able to make a good living. There will be no shortage of the basic necessities of life, including owning a home and property.
Born on the Emperor's Stomach
Your serious good fortune begins only in middle age when you will enjoy great good fortune in terms of the luxuries of life. There is plenty of food, clothing and all the material pleasures in this life.
Choh & Hai
Born on the Emperor's Girth
You will go through many changes in your life and as you get higher up the social ladder, you will transform a great deal. This transformation may be for good or bad and it is advisable that if you are in this situation, you should strive to change for the better and become more humble as you become more important in your work and life.
Shen & Shih
Born on the Emperor's Knee
You will have to travel a great deal in your life, so you can view this as good or bad depending on whether you enjoy travelling or not. Professionally, your life will be full of journeys. And like the wanderer, life is unsettled and transient.
Sen & Yiu
Born on the Emperor's Feet
This indicates that there will be two marriages in your life. This is especially true for women born into this position. For men, being born on the Emperor's feet suggests a restless nature that is not easy to please.
Born in the Summer (June, July, August)
Born on the Emperor's Head
This is an auspicious indication, since anyone born on the Emperor's head in the Summer will never have any worries. There are no obstacles and difficulties in this person's entire life. This also suggests a person who will have an excellent intellect, and who is good at strategic thinking and planning.
Tze & Choh
Born on the Emperor's Hands
This birth situation suggests that you will have more than sufficient money and business luck. Your good fortune improves with the years and you will attain great success during the later stages of your life.
Mao & Yu
Born on the Emperor's Shoulders
You are so lucky if you have this birth situation, since it brings you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, lacking for nothing. You will amass a fortune during your lifetime, and in your old age, you will own plenty of properties. If you live an honourable life, you will be blessed with plenty of grandchildren and live to an old age.
Born on the Emperor's Stomach
This birth situation indicates there is plenty to eat and more than sufficient clothes to wear and to enjoy. There is good fortune luck from your late forties onwards. You will not have to worry about your old age for you will be well looked after.
Wei & Hai
Born on the Emperor's Girth
This birth situation suggests that you will have loving parents and be surrounded by noblemen and important people. What you make of your good fortune at birth will depend on your own efforts.
Shen & Shih
Born on the Emperor's Knees
It will be hard for you to be given the recognition for the work you do. There will be obstacles that can stand in your way and unless you can overcome this lack of recognition luck, by middle age, you will be exhausted.
Yiu & Sen
Born on the Emperor's Feet
This birth situation brings an easy life where everything comes easily, especially to those born male. Also, if you are of the male gender, it is likely you will have more than one wife. Women will find you irresistible. You will be blessed if you have a good attitude and a pure motivation.

The songlike slow movement in E major (in modo duna canzone) shows just how vividly the composer could present even his most diatonic melody, with a textural and harmonic light and shade that somehow, for all the passing moments of a darker and more poignant colour, never obscure the beautifully simple lyric thread of the movement as a whole. The classicizing impulse is here well caught: expressed with feeling and full of subtlety, without a hint of dryness. The finale has wit and drive, as well as thematic resource, and is characterized by an almost boisterous energy. This reflects the fact that it was originally written as the scherzo of a four-movement work; but Szymanowski finally decided, as late as 19245, that it should stand as the finale of a three-movement quartet. After an arresting Beethovenian opening gesture, it presents an unassuming diatonic fugal theme in 3/4 on successive entries each a minor third apart from the last (CE flatF sharpA). This then gives the layered contrapuntal harmony something of the feel of an axial polymodality, à la Bartók. The movement is concise yet offers a succession of contrasting episodes of great rhythmic and textural variety. We may observe that the idea of fugue is something of a conceit here (remembering that this was at first a scherzo): the composer largely ignores the conventions of fugal layout in favour of episodic variation and rhythmic development. New accompaniments and new counterpoints are constantly interjected, serving to project, often with considerable force, the varied lineaments of the theme. The course of the final peroration begins fast and exhilarating; but the music unexpectedly winds down, ending quietly with a witty pizzicato cadence into C major.

Fighting Over Fireworks
Just two years after consumer fireworks were legalized in Maine, a move is under way to ban them again.
By Edgar Allen Beem
The 126th Maine Legislature's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee considered five bills earlier this year that would restrict the use of consumer fireworks or ban them altogether. This after the 125th Maine Legislature legalized fireworks, which were banned in 1949, just two years ago.
"We have the exact same concerns today that they had back in the 1940s," says Representative Michel Lajoie (D-Lewiston), a retired Lewiston fire chief, ticking off the list of concerns: injuries, fires, and disturbing wildlife, farm animals, combat veterans, and the peace in general. "The product we were putting on the market was a volatile, dangerous product that is a major nuisance in regard to noise," says Lajoie, explaining why he proposed LD 111, a bill to reinstate the statewide fireworks ban.
Other bills sought to require local permits, prohibit fireworks after 9 p.m., establish fireworks-free zones, and create one-mile buffer zones around farms.
But Steven Marson, president of Central Maine Pyrotechnics in Farmingdale and owner of the five-store Pyro City retail fireworks chain, argues that the state shouldn't pull the rug out from under the consumer fireworks stores that became a $4 million to $7 million a year industry overnight. "I made a $4 million investment last year," says Marson. "We spent $970,000 on wages, paid vendors $2.4 million, and paid $280,000 to the state."
By Marson's calculation of the trickle-down effect, consumer fireworks had a $26 million impact on the Maine economy in the year since they have been made legal. Now he worries the legislature may put him out of business. "As fast as the law went into effect," he says, "it can go out again, as we have seen."
And that is exactly why Representative Lajoie finds it "quite naïve" for anyone to have made a substantial investment in fireworks retailing without "looking back into the history of why fireworks were eliminated in this state."
Fireworks have been strictly regulated in Maine since statehood. On February 20, 1821, the new state legislature approved a law stating, "That if any person shall offer for sale, set fire to, or throw any lighted cracker, squib, rocket, or serpent within this State, without the license of the Selectmen of the several towns, respectively, first obtained thereof; he shall forfeit for every such offence, the sum of five dollars."
In proposing the statewide ban in 1949, Representative Frederic H. Bird of Rockland explained that he wanted "to try to correct an intolerable situation that seems to take place in this state every Fourth of July."
"The individual towns have tried to regulate the sale and use of fireworks," Bird said, "while the adjoining towns have no regulations and, therefore, the efforts of towns with regulations are pretty much nullified."
Since LD 83, An Act to Legalize the Sale, Possession and Use of Fireworks passed the State House of Representatives 76-61 and the Maine Senate 20-12 and was signed into law on July 1, 2011, fifty-seven Maine cities and towns have exercised the local option of banning or restricting the sale and use of fireworks. So Maine finds itself pretty much back where it was in 1949, with a mishmash of local regulations that are difficult to enforce.
Only three states (Delaware, Massachusetts, and New Jersey) ban the sale of all consumer fireworks. Maine had been one of the four states (along with Illinois, Iowa, and New York) that only allowed sparklers and a few small novelties. Seventeen states only allow non-aerial and non-explosive consumer fireworks such as fountains and sparklers, but Maine is now one of twenty-four states where just about anything goes.
Of course, as Steve Marson will tell you, these are not your grandfather's fireworks. "Cherry bombs, bottle rockets, M-80s, and quarter sticks of dynamite are outlawed all over the country," says Marson.
What Maine legalized in 2011 were consumer fireworks, defined as fireworks with fewer than 500 grams of explosive composition. Commercial or display fireworks with more than 500 grams of explosive content have been legal all along if used by a licensed pyrotechnician.
Maine still bans bottle rockets, aerial spinners, and missile-type fireworks, but a visit to any of the eighteen fireworks stores in Maine will demonstrate that Maine fireworks enthusiasts can still get plenty of bangs for their bucks. Phantom Fireworks in Scarborough is a veritable fireworks supermarket with aisles filled with firecrackers, fountains, Roman candles, single-shots, reloadables, fan cakes, and assortment packs ranging from $60 to $1,400. Scarborough is a town where the sale of fireworks is legal year-round, but fireworks can only be set off five days a year — July 3, 4, and 5, December 31, and January 1. That there are two fireworks stores in Scarborough can be explained by the fact that most of the other cities and towns in Greater Portland prohibit fireworks.
The fact that fireworks use is only permitted in Scarborough around the Fourth of July and New Year's Day is not so surprising, however. Marson reports that his Pyro City stores in Edgecomb, Ellsworth, Manchester, Presque Isle, and Winslow do "75 percent of the business in four weeks."
The stores feature video kiosks where customers can scan potential purchases to see and hear what they look and sound like when fired. For those who can't make up their minds, there are fireworks sets such as The Godfather assortment, an hour and half's worth of bangs, booms, cracks, pops, and sizzle for just $475.
So why would the Maine State Legislature want to spoil all that fun? Marson thinks "it's all political."
"The Democrats don't like the governor," says Marson, who met with Governor Paul LePage in April to complain about the legislative proposals to ban or restrict consumer fireworks.
Representative Lajoie insists legislating fireworks is a bipartisan matter. But he does allow that the reason fireworks were legalized in 2011 in the first place was because "the conditions were right," meaning the poor economy allowed Republicans, who had taken control of both houses of the state legislature for the first time since 1974, to sell legalizing fireworks as a jobs bill. A year later, Governor LePage's controversial style had alienated enough voters that Republicans lost control of the legislature and Democrats sought to reinstate the longstanding fireworks ban. "It's not about the governor," says Lajoie. "My concerns are about injuries and fires."
State Fire Marshal Joseph Thomas reported to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee that in 2012 there were eleven fireworks-related property fires, thirty-eight wild land fires attributed to fireworks, and twenty fireworks-related injuries requiring hospital treatment.
That's actually not too bad compared to 1949, when fireworks ban proponent Senator Frederick N. Allen of Portland testified that on the Fourth of July in 1948, Bangor's Eastern Maine General Hospital alone had treated "twenty-seven cases hands and arms, one case about the wrist, six cases on the legs, five cases on the face, cheeks, lips, eyes, and so forth, one case of hip burns, two cases of burns on the arms, one case of chest burns."
Allen also made the argument that a fireworks ban would benefit combat veterans. "There are 90,000 Maine veterans," he said, "and I wonder about the veterans of both wars who have come back shell-shocked in one way or another. I am sure they do not exactly appreciate the firing off of fireworks."
In 2013, LD 168, An Act to Establish Reasonable Restrictions on the Use of Fireworks, specified "effects on veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, for whom exposure to fireworks carries the potential to trigger debilitating symptoms" as one factor that might warrant restricting fireworks use.
While it has been fairly well documented in the popular press that fireworks, especially consumer fireworks that are unpredictable and therefore cannot easily be avoided, do hold the potential for inducing anxiety and flashbacks in combat veterans, Peter W. Ogden, director of Maine's Bureau of Veterans' Services, requested that "any language that the committee may put forth does not include any reference to the effects on veterans."
Ogden says he is concerned about stigmatizing veterans who suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder. "I don't have a problem banning fireworks," says Ogden. "I just don't want veterans used for someone's agenda."
Though Maine is a far less agricultural state than it once was, there was more testimony on LD 456, An Act to Protect Farm Animals from Noise from the Discharge of Fireworks or Explosives, a proposal to prohibit the use of fireworks within a mile of a field or pasture where livestock is kept, than there was on the bill to ban fireworks altogether. Many of those who spoke in favor of the one-mile buffer were horse owners.
Wendy Gray, who stables thirty horses at Gray's Equestrian Training in Bowdoinham, complained to the legislature that "fireworks and explosives going off several times a week" were spooking her horses and making it dangerous to give riding lessons. But Pyro City's Marson counters that Gray should have other legal remedies than a one-mile buffer as the problem is being caused by a neighbor with a personal grudge against her, a point Gray concedes. She still hopes the state will act, because the town of Bowdoinham has not.
"My business was here before fireworks were legal," says Gray. "Something needs to be done, and quick. I don't know if I can wait for next year."
Gray may well have to wait until next year for a resolution to her fireworks problem, because the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee decided in early April to kill most of the fireworks bills and carry over LD 168 as a concept bill to the January 2014 session.
"We postponed it until next year," explains Lajoie, "to give both sides time to see how a second year of fireworks materializes. We'll have better numbers then."
"They are doing this," adds Ericka Dodge, communications director for Maine Senate Democrats, "because the industry has asked for another summer's worth of data to work from and analyze."
Meanwhile, Marson has filed complaints with legislative leadership charging that the committee changed the time of a key meeting without notifying him. He is loaded for bear. "They didn't make a mistake. They know what they did," says Marson. "I'm not going to tolerate it as a citizen, as a businessman, or as a Democrat."
Lajoie stands firm on his commitment to restore Maine's ban on fireworks. "The give and take is going to be about give," vows Lajoie, "because there are really no restrictions on the use of consumer fireworks at this time."
And so the stage is set for yet another round in Maine's ongoing blowup over fireworks.

At first as a child I just liked its symbol, later when I started reading the novels and the TROs I started to like them for their refined "tactics". Even later I found out that the LC is supposed to be some kind of space germany, and I find this coincidence rather funny.
Now I'm still here, wearing the armored gauntlet symbol on my mech with pride.
Loyal to Archon Katrina Steiner Davion, the only true heir of the Steiner throne.

Later as I got to actually play the game and learn more about Steiner military tactics and background (and, more importantly, the fondness for heavier units..) I kept with them, as I tend to prefer both Heavily armored and heavily gunned mechs.
If all goes well, I -should- be signing on Stener when the game goes live.

Then found MPBT:Solaris on aol in '99, where I played a bit until I found Gamestorm, and played until it was turned off there.
Originally recruited into House Marik, which turned out to be not the best fit, I went Merc with a group called Mech Gods, who were part of Mercenary Combine, run by Mad Khan. Contracted exclusively with House Steiner, I got to know a lot of great people, and in preparation for 3025, I was honored to be a part of the creation of a new House Steiner unit, the 6th Regimental Combat Team : Apache division. 3025 never went beyond a leaked link to the beta, then the plug was pulled.
Through the years I've played in leagues such as VL, BZ4, W!OL, Empire (was my favorite), MWL, NBT, and more recently, ISW. I'm ready for something new, and so is House Steiner from the looks of the email group.

Started the game in MPBT:Solaris on AOL in 1996 or so and was soon recruited into House Steiner by General Boris and never looked back. I've been a loyal member through a number of versions of the game similar to Wild Hog: MPBT:3025, War!Online, Empire, and for a few months in the beginning of ISW. I'm eager to see what this new incarnation has to offer the community and hopeful it can restore our comradery. It is good to see many old friends again.
