It is the video of the strike started when Bill AB505 in 2005 was an issue that the drivers talked the then Governor Kenny Guinn out of signing. Which incidentally, had language in the bill that would have only taken tips away from cab drives and not the limo drivers.

What I liked about that event was the fact that the Unions didn't have very much to do with it. The drivers did it pretty much all on their own. I know, I was there.

The original intent of the bill was to have the PUC, Public Utilities Commission be the ruling body over the Taxi Authority in Las Vegas, Nevada. An adendum was added that would take away the drivers rights to accept tips from other local strip clubs. The irony of it all, is that the adendum was added at the request of cab company partners that had ownership rights in strip clubs.

There seems to be a game here.

The drivers are also concerned about cab companies that are consistantly requesting from the Taxi Authorities here in Vegas to put additional cabs out on the road. If they put more unnecessary cabs out on the road, drivers daily take is always less and less.

The flip side for the owners is the fees that the owners get paid as a result of the additional advertising on the cabs when they go out on the street. Cab/Strip club owners may have created an adendum to bill ab505 so the cabbies hand would be forced to strike to save their tips.

If the original intent of the bill was allowed to pass, cab companies may not have had the continued support from the PUC, Public Utilities Commission to continue to fraudulently put unneeded cabs on the road for service use. The Governor never signed the bill after the drivers made their point, as you will see in the video how the drivers pulled it off.

With all that aside, we want to dedicate not only this video to the drivers, but to the spirit of the drivers that they had on that day.

We think that the video following this one should also be dedicated to the drivers and to all those that are in the know that corporations and big money can manipulate workers beyond that reasonable point of no return. Please, also watch the video following this one taken in 1964 when Mario Savio gives his famous speech, "The Machine"

Our next video is actually a stacked playlist of 6 videos. Of which Naomi Wolf is the star attraction in the first 3.

In the first video she is talking about her new book, "Give me liberty, a handbook for American Revolutionaries".

In the next video she is speaking at Kane Hall University of Washington Seattle. Sponsored by University book store. On "End of America, a Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot".

In the third video, Naomi Wolf speaks about the Bush Administration's, Watch Lists. All of the drivers in Las Vegas are more then likely, keenly aware of by now.

The forth video, Jeremy Scahill is doing a documentary for TheNation.Com. BlackWater mercenaries is the subject. Be sure and check out our own page on the same subject, "BlackWater out of Control".

Keith Olbermann from MSNBC is featured in the last video regarding the Bush & Cheney Administration. It is one of the videos , Mr Olbermann   gives one of the most profound speeches I have ever heard from any television newscaster about any administration.

Is it the beginning of the End? Naomi Wolf, Jeremy Scahill and Keith Olbermann. Overall changes in America.

The Global Corporate control of food and nutrients.
THIS IS SCARY STUFF!!

Rima E. Laibow, MD. from HealthFreedomUSA.Org. She talks about, Nutricide - Criminalizing Natural Health, Vitamins, and Herbs. And how The Codex Alimentarius is a threat to the freedom of people to choose natural healing and alternative medicine and nutrition. Ratified by the World Health Organization, and going into Law in the United States in 2009, the threat to health freedom has never been greater.

This is the first part of a series of talks by Dr. Rima Laibow MD, available on DVD from the Natural Solutions Foundation, an non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about how to stop Codex Alimentarius from taking away our right to freely choose nutritional health.

Not all of us here at the Taxi Stand agree with Dr. Rima Laibow's approach to aligning ourselves with the World Trade Organization. Getting out of these International Organizations including the United Nations completely might be a better way to go.
