It’s not just Republicans that make up the Carlyle Group.

Meet the Carlyle Group

Thank you OKiddo. Rigorous Intuition has had many good posts on this octapus.

FDL needs to do more on Carlyle – many people don’t know what they are.

One of the reasons I’m worried about the Carlyle takeover is that Manor Care has been pretty good. I just want it to stay that way.

Profit is the point of the takeover. Carlyle has issued a press release promising not to cut care. I’m just hoping that increased media attention will keep them to their word.

Second fact those cheering on the SEIU in their campaign against Carlyle need to keep in mind: 5.5% of Carlyle is held by the California Public Employees Retirement System, or CALPERS. That’s right, many thousands of public workers in California are wealthier today than ever before courtesy of Carlyle leveraged buyouts.

Again, thank you, Jane, for holding them up as an example for me to remember what really matters in supporting a cause. SEIU members are an inspiration.

I wish I could find out more about what the Democratic Leadership Council does.

Do any of these help?

My Grandmother at 93 , fell and shattered her hip. She has lived in the same place for over fifty years, a small coastal town.
She wound up in a nursing home,no one in my family lived closer than two hundred miles away.
It was a nightmare.
Come to find out, it was the same one my other Grandmother had died in twenty five years earlier.
Also the same one my Mother worked at before She died.
I knew the reputation of this place was very bad and told my family about it.
My aunt and uncle would go down every weekend to check on her and I went once.
The violations we saw were horrendous.
Understaffed, people laying in their own body waste because no one would come help them to the bathroom,on and on and on.
It got so bad I thought they were literally TRYING to kill her.
Finally enough was enough, My aunt flew into the small airport unannounced, called an ambulance and had her taken to the emergency room. from there to an awaiting flight and brought her up here to one close by that had a good reputation
For Profit homes are deathtraps.

There are other ways to protest against the Carlyle Group.
Current senior management:

David M. Rubenstein, Co-Founder and Managing Director of The Carlyle Group.
Board of Directors or Trustees of Duke University, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Chicago.

Daniel A. D’Aniello, Founding Partner and Managing Director of The Carlyle Group.
Trustee, Syracuse University.
