Time has the ability to improve what we resist!

I have held firm to my beliefs that President Obama has done for this Country what no other President was able to achieve since Roosevelt.  Just like SSI, the Health Care Reform bill will take time to improve, to work for all people but it has great possibilities, just like SSI!  (Vermont has already paved the way for other states by
passing a bill for single-payer health care.)

This is a fantastic article and a part of history that we should all remember and share.-Mem

Mr. Roosevelt's Social Insurance
by DemFromCT

This past week, I had the pleasure of a visit to FDR's home and library in Hyde Park, NY. The library was featuring a special exhibit on Social Security, which celebrated its 76th anniversary on August 14. The exhibit brought home to me the importance of this keystone of the New Deal, and reminded me why I am a Democrat.

From the Roosevelt Library and Museum exhibition:

President Obama Roll Up Your Sleeves!

President Obama, roll up your sleeves and stand up to the Republican Party!  Stop playing nice! We stand behind you and we have your back!  When you get tired, know that we will fight with you.  All we ask is that you fight. Now is not the time to
compromise.-Mem
