It shouldn't be too tough to find out what auto brands use sensata sensors - then organize a boycott against all those that do. If all of them do, then find out who buys the most.

First to cave will be the boycotted auto company(s), who depend so strongly on domestic sales. It will not take long for them to cancel Sensata orders and use replacement sensors, and Sensata will think again about moving.

Secondly - why is nothing said of how many millions in taxpayer money sensata is getting to subsidize this move - nevermind tax base erosion. This loophole needs to be slammed shut on day 1 of a democratic controlled government.

Is there even one intelligent, non-compromised journalist in all of the media?

Not on the subject of Sensada, but did anyone hear Romney tell voters in Ohio, that he believed in vouchers so that people could take their child to a Charter school or shop around for the best school? He was quoted as saying "The teacher's unions don't like my plan, but they don't contribute to my campaign, so I don't have to listen to them." If you read beyond the lines, he is essentially saying that money will buy favors from me.

What about all the jobs here in the USA that Obama will outsource to illegal immigrants if he is elected and declares amnesty in his promised immigration reform. He is promising this today to pander to the Latino Vote.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – the first political party to stand up and defend American workers and America’s manufacturing base by cracking down on free trade and outsourcing policies will win big at the polls.

No they won't. They wouldn't get on the ballot in enough states, and they wouldn't be allowed in the debates. Face it Thom, we're screwed.

Global, perhaps you missed the news on your fox variety show; Obama has deported more illegal aliens then any President so far! More than Your guy Bush did in his 8 years, that is probably because his political donors made money on illegals in their factories. He has pissed off the Latino voters because they feel he hasn't done enough. Try to get your facts straight, even if you’re a Republican that is no excuse to get the facts wrong. Unless your name is Romney !

Kend, my friend from Canada, there is nothing wrong with shopping around for the school you prefer your children to attend. What is wrong is to use tax payer funds to finance that charter school, while taking money out of the Public Schools, that the citizens have a right to review under the school board. Not a school that is run by Privateers for personal profit and the parents have no direct influence on the schools other than using tax payer money.

Pertaining to the Charter School subject; The Republicans have put a proposition on the ballot for Nov. that will prohibit the Teachers Unions from using money from dues that are paid, to help a candidate of their choice. Also, they are trying to eliminate Teachers bargaining rights when their contracts come up for renewal. It is called Prop. 32 and is very similar to the situation with teachers in Chicago! The Repub-lipukes are trying their best to eliminate the public sector unions. The sponsors of this Prop. Have just received an $11,000,000 DONATION from a Pac in Arizona! The Republicans are out to destroy any political opposition that they can and many people are falling for it, here in California. My daughter is a teacher with a master’s degree and she has decided that she will leave teaching and go into the private sector, where she will actually make more money than she does teaching. Many of her colleagues are thinking of doing the same thing or moving to another state if Prop. 32 passes here. They became teachers because they love kids and the good they can do for our future generations. But, if corporate money is going to dictate the future of education than they feel it is time to seek another way to earn a living as far as she and many of her colleagues plan to do.

What he is doing is admitting that he'll be working for Corporations...NOT us!! The New Right of Paul Weyrich has a few "arms". Heritage Fdn; Free Congress Fdn; Moral Majority; and ALEC. All created by Paul Weyrich. ALEC has 2000+ republican politicians and 600+ major corporations as members. ALEC corporations sit at the table and write our laws - with these politicians. The politicians pass them, boilerplate them, and send to all New Right Republican states for immediate implementation. (alexexposed.org; center for media and democracy.org; prwatch.org, etc). Rupert Murdoch owns Wireless Generation which is the testing company making MILLIONS off each state that privatizes our schools. It's the biggest racket I've ever seen...except for their privatized prison system and tort reforms so we can't sue them. Really, Michigan has gone Charter School/vouchers and it is sooo bad!!! I went to public school in a large city and did very well all my life. There was always room for improvement; but, Bush and these corporate-interest states undermined it by cutting funding, etc.. If we would have not done that - we were improving every year under the old system. Well, I'm too old for school now; but, my grandson has been homeschooled by myself for over a year now because the privatized system does not educate them!!!!!

With the main parties both on the right, They really should include the Green Party (who are more like real democrats) in the debate. Surely stein is not In favor of this continual migration of American jobs overseas. But I agree big money will never allow this, having spent so much money to attain controlling interest in the two main parties.

We understand that a massive number of jobs have been shipped out, and yet, as a matter of policy (per Clinton's welfare "reform"), the government position is that "there is no excuse" for failing to be employed. With each large layoff, there are a number of people who are not going to be able to get another job. Once you're unemployed for some length of time, you are effectively written off as "unemployable." Employers simply will not hire you, regardless of your past experience, qualifications, etc. The good news is that Americans no longer need to live in terror of welfare dependency. The bad news is that it might well be the end of the road for you. Cities in the US work hard to keep the homeless out of public sight, and their numbers grow. Infant mortality rates among the poor have increased, and the life expectancy of America's poor has actually fallen below that of some Third World countries, since Clinton's welfare "reform." We're all cool with that. Still, more and more upstanding hard-working middleclass Americans "choose the poverty lifestyle," and the numbers of those enjoying homelessness, hunger and deprivation keeps on growing -- even as we remain so focused on ignoring them! So -- I think we really should discuss what we should do about all those who have been pushed out of employment, out of our economic system entirely. Any ideas? (Note: Over thirty years of calling for job creation does not appear to be an adequate answer.) If we can't address this basic issue, there is no chance of rebuilding the sort of country where a huge middle class was possible, and what's left of today's middle class will be gone.

It is already illegal for union dues to be used for anything political, such as political campaigns, rallies, political mailings, etc. Unions' PACs are supported by voluntary contributions, not dues.

US has been trading with China since Nixon Plus we own them trillions of dollars which dilutes our power . Deregulation policy began in 1981 with Reaganomics trickle down , deregulation of Banks , airlines, trucking, and more plus busting of unions . Reagans huge debt and his Total amnesty ( w/ wide open borders ) brought many millions of illegals to the US which brought down US wages. Its all about Cheap labor for the Robber barons aka Powerful corps that run DC thru DC lobbyists and massive amounts of money. / bribes . ALan Greenspan & pals pushed like mad for FREE markets & FREE trade with NO regulations. That helped put us on road to 2008 global collapse./crash Greenspan convinced Bill Clinton that NAFTA was a great idea., then he signed Glass steagal A very bad decision. These policies are ' almost ' impossilbe to undue now after so many years.and a GOP who will fight it tooth and nail . However we must push Obama to do so if its at all possilbe. .Obama has had his plate over flowing with disasters .. 2 long UNfunded wars- huge corp cuts- loopholes- worst crash since 1929 / TARP scam on taxpayers Former Goldman Sachs CEO ( all Fed chairman came from Goldman Paulson Rubin Greenspan Bernacki ) sure took care of his own when writing 4 page TARP with NO safe guards for taxpayers money . I appreciate that Obama made it a priority to catch Bin laden and top al qauda Our sworn enemies. Bush Cheney just gave up. I also like that Obama passed first health reofrm ever , pre-existing illness is covered as well as students . Thats an investment in our future So is clean energy Problem with most folks is we are so short sighted .We can not see more than few years ahead I will not forget that T Bagger led GOP vowed from day one to cause Obama's Waterloo / make him fail THat tells how little they care of our country, economy , jobs and its people.

Those tax dollars are everyone's. If you take money out to go to a private school you are also taking the student out of the public system as well so there is no cost to the public system. The Problem with the public school system is only half the staff is in the class room what do the rest of them do?

"If you take money out to go to a private school you are also taking the student out of the public system as well so there is no cost to the public system."

Uh-huh ... because it costs EXACTLY twice as much to cook dinner for 2 as it does for one, right? There's no such thing as economy of scale, is there?

As enrollment in public schools decreases, and funding drops accordingly, the services they offer the community - after school programs, clubs, sports ... you know, the things that keep kids off the streets and out of trouble - are the first things to go. If your kids doesn't go to the same school as your neighbor's kids do, it's less likely you'll get to know them as well. Community spirit is degraded. Neighborhoods crumble. It's every family for themselves.

Oops ... I'm pretty much describing Republican Paradise, ain't I?

I have SO HAD IT with these traitors to America like Willard Robme. This fascist slave driver of China should be kicked out of the country, along with all the rest of the Neo-con traitors. The creep made all his millions on the backs of the working middle class and he should be ostricised as the sellout punk that he is. It's way past time that the middle class of America took back our American quality of life that these fascist corporate pigs stole from us. Well past time, indeed.

Zero mention of Sensata in the debates! So will the corpse mass media bother to mention Willard's most recent example of passive economic terrorism? I think not!

Those voters exposed mainly to the biggest lies that money can buy have zero chance of voting in their own best interest if they have zero meaningful information to go by. Sure I wish everyone would listen to progressive talk radio and watch MSNBC and get truth in reporting, but it just isn't enough to reach those who need it most. How do you reach people driven by religious illusion in a, "red state," of fanatic delirium to vote for a civilized life in this world rather than wait for the next? How do we get the media to point out the greedy and immoral truth about Bain and also talk about the real motivation behind Ryan's budget plan.....a redistribution of wealth on steroids. This stuff is who these characters are and the electorate needs to know it!

Speaking of who these guys are, in Romney we have a man who already with countless millions, and no real need for more, was willing to pursue further self enrichment by basically stealing from honest hard working people and at the same time leave behind a wake of economic hardship and misery. His brand of capitalism always does! You can hear the Sensata victims stories on Utube, this is not political propaganda it's a cold and ugly reality created directly by Romney in the past and created by passive connection now. This sort of self serving immoral character is the last thing we need in the White House. This man has the the propensity to inflict global damage on a scale never witnessed in history. It will have nothing to do with religious prophecy but everything to do with the reality of a person with a tortured soul, one who constantly thirsts for more money and power with no end in sight. To a guy like Romney the White House is just another purchased trophy in his endless quest for more power. The problem is, his disorder much like that of the Kochs, has far reaching and damaging consequences for all of humanity.

On a note closer to home, my own blown out Tea- bag Rep. refuses to debate his progressive opponent and will say nothing about voting yes twice on little Pauly's plan. Same immoral character only on a small time scale. He needs to be fired in this election.

Thom, Mike, and Ed, MSNBC and the rest of the truth in reporting gang most certainly will do some damage to Romney with the Sensata story. Let's hope it's enough to overcome the biggest lies money can buy being spewed by the rest of corp. mass media. By the way, has anyone noticed that ABC radio news sounds as slanted as Fox regarding the presidential race these days?

It seems to me that the entire social structure of the country has been decimated thanks to guys like Romney. I have wondered for close to a half century why Americans never bite the bullet and do what needs to be done to stop the robbery and pillaging of our country. We will have to start a subculture that we can grow to eventually take the country back. The common citizen needs to take a page from the corporate book and give less and less to corporations until they dry up and blow away. Isn't that what corporations have done to citizens? First lower and lower wages, then no job at all for many.

This would not be an easy task. But if we look around, we can see this is all our own fault. Our worship of material things, admiration of the ultra wealthy and what they own, rewarding athletes and actors with insane sums of money for contributing little of real value while ordinary salt of the earth people are abused in the system and not even paid enough to keep body and soul together when they are employed. We can change it anytime we choose. But it will take work on ourselves as a society.

We can make a real concentrated effort to change our value system and implement it in our society. It won't happen overnight, but perhaps some of the Christian values so many give lip service to would actually produce a better society and eliminate the power of the Romney's of the world. We might even lose our position as the laughing stock of the world, if we ran our country with more equity.

Our intentions have been good. We have developed programs and safety nets to help each other. It's obvious the corporate wealthy think that money should be theirs and are out to relieve the country of every last farthing. We may have to just write it off and go our own way. Let's see what happens in this election. Then we need to start getting organized for the future.

First, the idea of winning through voting is a strategy of the past; we citizens can't trust the electronic computerized voting machines and those computers' tally of the vote. It's all manipulated, and any citizens who think their vote makes a difference in who becomes president is deluded.

Second, to register a protest vote, we are voting for Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party. We agree with virtually everything that he stands for. He is a write-in candidate in our state. He's on the ballot in other states. And there are states which do not allow write-in votes, so those voters are outta luck. Rocky Anderson gives us a choice where we don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils.

You can hear Rocky and Jill Stein join the "debate" on Amy Goodman's program. Both candidates are solidly in favor of policies which will benefit citizens, and not corporations.
