Leave a twig for the birds to perch on... don't let the capitalists do your thinking for you... if you are in the neighborhood, stop on in; the coffee is always hot and the cookie jar is full... looking forward to the day when the real decisions in America are made by working class families gathered around the kitchen table... new postings daily...Yours in the struggle...Alan L.

We need real health care reform; the fight for real health care reform should be uniting us
I think the health care issue is THE
issue to bring people together in greatest unity… after all we all need health care... do you know anyone who doesn't need health care?
But, the solution is
not single-payer; the solution is not private, for-profit health care like we have now... the solution is a National Public Health Care System:
Campaign for a “21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity”
We are fed up with politicians campaigning on promises of “Jobs,
Jobs, Jobs” and then failing to make themselves legislatively
responsible for attaining and maintaining full employment.
We are fed up with our tax dollars being squandered on militarism and
wars instead of being used to create jobs by solving the problems of
the people and defending our living environment… its time to beat swords
into ploughshares. Put people to work solving the problems of the
people.
A National Public Health Care System would create over twelve-million
new jobs paying real living wages providing people with free health
care— general medical, eyes, ears, dental, family planning and mental health— through a
network of neighborhood and community health care centers; this is a
better use of our tax-dollars than wasting our human and financial
resources on a far flung empire of over 800 U.S. military bases around
the world. Or, it could be financed the same way Social Security is
financed.
Public funding. Public administration. Public delivery…
nothing controversial; just like public education.
A National Public Child Care System would create over three-million
new jobs providing working class families with free child care.
We need to restore WPA, CCC and C.E.T.A.
We insist Congress and the president enact full employment
legislation which makes them legislatively responsible for attaining and
maintaining full employment; assure everyone who wants a job employment
at real living wages in line with the actual cost-of-living.
Full employment would provide stability for Social Security; everyone paying in; everyone getting something out.
A health care program that puts America to work by beating swords into plowshares; what makes more sense?
Demand a real Peace Dividend now!
We are entitled to a Peace Dividend in the form of a National Public Health Care System... don't agree to settle for anything less.
Bring this demand into the public square.
The struggle for real health care reform will bring the power of the working class into the movement to stop Trump and win this most important health care reform.
Health care is one of the most basic and fundamental human rights... that's why Eleanor Roosevelt and Frances Perkins insisted it be included in the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Now when health care is the focus of attention is the time to advance this demand... Obamacare should be replaced with a National Public Health Care System... no deductibles, no co-pays, free and all inclusive health care paid for with a Peace Dividend derived from ending this insane militarism and ending these dirty imperialist wars... a fair deal, a good deal.
The struggle for real health care reform has the greatest potential for creating working class unity and action in struggle... this is the way to beat and defeat Trump.
