Health Care for All, Rich or Poor.

Joseph Raglione
May 12, 2009
Gentle readers of the American Chronicle, the U.S. Right-Wing controlled Media is attempting to describe Canadian Medicare as faulty and not worth emulating within the United States. What they are not explaining to United States citizens is that Canada's Medicare system is working in spite of our Government's Conservatives who continue to be Clones of your U.S. Republicans. Yes, Bush and Harper were great friends in the recent past and we have yet to remove Stephen Harper from Canada's government. Our Medicare system works so well it is working in spite of our Canadian government and not because of our Conservative government! Imagine what it would be like if the Canadian government creatively improved the Canadian Medicare system and imagine what will happen when every citizen of the U.S. is protected by a U.S. federal Medicare program, with no child or person presently existing in poverty denied care because He or She does not have medical insurance? Barack Obama is working hard to give you a better health care system. Help him and his Democratic government succeed for your sake and for the sake of the children...>

It's begun...

Last Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee started debating healthcare and thanks to your support, we were ready.

Leading up to the Senate meeting, DFA members called their own Senators and Representatives to see where they stand on the public healthcare option. And more than 10,000 activists participated in the emergency briefing with Dr. Dean on the eve of the first Senate committee meeting.

We've only just begun. There is still much more to do.

As we are building support for a public option, the opposition is working against us. A new right-wing front group, named Conservatives for Patient Rights has launched a million-dollar ad campaign filled with lies and fear to scare Congress out of passing real reform.

And Senators Ben Nelson (NE) and Arlen Specter (PA) already announced their plans to vote against any bill that will grant Americans a choice.


Thanks to you, they can't stop our campaign. DFA has teamed up with MoveOn, True Majority, and CREDO Action to make sure Democrats don't cave to conservative pressure. We're writing letters to the editors of local papers all over the country, contacting our elected officials directly and last week, MoveOn launched an ad supporting a public option to combat the right-wing lies against us.

We'll target wavering Democrats and back up others who are fighting for real reform. Working together, this is a fight we will win.

FUEL OUR CAMPAIGN TO WIN -- CONTRIBUTE TODAY

The campaign is working. Thanks in part to the incredible amount of grassroots pressure felt from phone calls, letters, and citizen lobbying, 7 more Senators including Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Robert Menendez of New Jersey have announced their full support of a public healthcare option.

Last time Democrats tried to reform healthcare they failed in part because the opposition was better organized and no one fought back. Thanks to you, we're not going to let that happen again.

Together, we stand with Dr. Dean in supporting healthcare reform that gives America a choice. (Please CONTRIBUTE and help us win this fight.)

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
