Shocked? NOT!

" Other countries care for their mentally ill.
Making them debate on TV is just cruel. " - Andy Borowitz

Why should anyone be shocked about the tea party republicans response to this?. It's the same party who cheered when Ron Paul suggested we let them die!-Mem

The List We Have All Been Waiting For....

I would like nothing more then to sue the Party Of No for my husbands death because they are the reason we and many other Americans do not have Health Care.  I was also (and still am) VERY angry at WebMD!  My husband was always going to that site because we didn't have health insurance and he had convinced himself that he had a Hiatal Hernia because of  information he had gotten from WebMD!  (I never dreamed it was owned by Murdoch so the list has been quite an eyeopener for me and I hope all of my friends will help make this list go viral!)

He died of a massive heart attack caused by a blockage in his heart.  He was 53 years old.  He was in horrible pain June 1st 2011 and wouldn't go to the Dr. because of our lack of insurance.  I told him I didn't think it was a Hiatal Hernia and went to WebMD to check out what it said because he was so convinced.  I was in the computer room and he said "Check out the symptoms" and then I heard the loud crash as he hit the floor, wedged between the bed and a file cabinet, face down.  It was all I could do to turn his face side ways while I called 911.  I will tell the rest of the story at a later date because I feel myself slipping back into the darkness of that hole in my heart again....  -Mem

Unions Are An Essential Part Of A Strong Democracy

I had posted this along with another article on my blog but feel like it is something that deserves a post of it's own since many people don't seem to realize the importance of Unions!-Mem

Unions play a crucial role in America’s public and community life. Not only do they give workers a voice on the job and help negotiate fair benefits and wages for their members, but they also use their political and economic resources to raise the floor for everyone who works for a living.

Unions, by fighting for higher standards for workers, businesses, families, the environment, and public health and safety, have helped to build the middle class and make sure the economy works for everyone.
