If ACA mandates are upheld, we won't get Medicare-for-All and better health care for a generation.

41. "Nothing but non-stop anti-Obama posts"

I strongly disagree.
I have not seen a single "Anti-Obama" post.
I can't recall a single attack on President Obama or his family.

What I have seen is a strong stand AGAINST the implementation of Republican/Conservative policy.
When STANDING FOR traditional Democratic party Values becomes twisted into an attack on the President,
or construed as "Anti-Obama",
then Houston, we have a problem.

I STAND for traditional Democratic Party values,
those fought for by FDR, Truman, LBJ....AND MYSELF!

"In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

*The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

*The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

*The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

*The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

*The right of every family to a decent home;

*The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

*The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

*The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being."--FDR

Please note in the above list that access to "adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health"
are listed as basic, human RIGHTS,
and NOT as a Commodity to be sold to Americans by For Profit Corporations.



FDR & LBJ would NOT have approved of forcing every American to pay a yearly tithe to a For Profit Corporation
in order to be granted access to Health Care,
NOT in a MILLION years...
and neither will I!

It is about The POLICY,
and the DIRECTION of the Democratic Party,
not the Person.
