Here's the key to health-care liberty
When we try to contemplate the terrible tragedies that are suffered by the citizens of our republic, along with our global brothers and sisters, the situation seems so overwhelming and so hopeless. It is time to keep it simple when identifying and replacing the corporate representatives who have done so much damage to the dreams, goals and hopes of the American people and our global brothers and sisters.
The same representatives who are denying all American citizens, ‘Single Payer’ health care, have been in charge when the dreams, goals and hopes of the American people have been devastated. They have been in charge when, as Ross Perot predicted, a great sucking sound was made when 40 percent+ of the American manufacturing base was outsourced through NAFTA; the American people became the victims of the largest transfer/theft of wealth in the history of humankind and the participating banks were allowed to become more powerful and the bankers were allowed to keep their obscene bonuses and some were hired by our government; Americans have repeatedly been denied a choice of clean burning Ethanol fuel at the pump, as Brazil gave their citizens, which has denied the American people the opportunity to get off foreign oil, return trillions to the people’s economy and bring back the troupes from protecting oil supplies; Americans have been denied equal pay; the corporate-owned American electrical grid has gone unhardened/unprotected, at a cost of $4 billion, for years. A dire situation leaving up to 300 million Americans at risk of a gruesome death, within a year of a direct solar hit or an EMP attack from 250 miles up; it became difficult for all Americans to vote; trillions of American citizens’ dollars have been and are being wasted on endless wars between people; corporations have polluted the environment; the United States is headed to a liberty- and environment-killing population of 420 million and growing by 2050; Americans have been denied people- and environment-saving family planning services; Americans have been plagued and divided by an orchestrated environment of ignorance, fear and apathy.
All representatives of the American people, across party lines, who do not support single-payer health care, for all Americans, must be voted out of office as soon as possible. They need to be replaced with representatives of the people, by the people and for the people; representatives who will provide single-payer health care to all Americans; representatives who will break up the banks; representatives who will get the corporations out of our government of the people, by the people and for the people; representatives who will lead the world to a future with respect, love and hope-building fair trade; Representatives who will provide family planning services to all Americans and invite all humankind to unite, with their American brothers and sisters, in a global people’s non-violent war against the entwined people crippling factors of overpopulation, ignorance fear and apathy. How about representatives of all the people who will ask all Americans, along with all the citizen-caretakers of planet Earth, to imagine, then realize a world with a stable population; a world without wars between people, united with trillions to invest in a quest of excellence in natural living on beautiful planet Earth.
