Mass mobilization is needed
Each district and club should discuss how to carry this fight forward in a way that results in new friends, new readers of the People’s World, and new members of the Party and Young Communist League. A few ideas:
• speak to neighbors and friends about their health care stories and suggest what they can do.
• share coverage of the Peoples World in either its print or electronic form and ask if they would like the paper every week in one or another form.
• prepare a special agenda for your club meeting with invited guests.
• help build participation in rallies and events of unions and other organizations.
• organize speak-outs and town hall meetings with others.
• collect signatures on petitions, make phone calls, employ the internet, and organize visits to your elected officials.
Now, I don't want to become a Marxist or start reciting the communist creed. I want to stay blanketed in democracy, if possible. However, I keep wondering, do we have a Republican club in Barnesville? Do we have a Democrat club? If so, how can folks become involved? We need to be educating our folks and having our voices heard locally as well as nationally.
against this change we are headed to.
You might think change is coming. Be ready to die attempting to force the "change" down our throats because we're ready to die stopping it. Pay attention Washington!
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
P.S. Jefferson also said "Every generation needs a new revolution"
Perhaps Washington leaders should spend a day or two refreshing on the US Constitution and some quotes from some of our forfathers.
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
Thomas Jefferson
Am I crazy for thinking medical care is a fundmental human right? As an example, let me point out that most people in Lamar County--indeed, in most of rural Georgia--cannot not afford an organ transplant or cancer treatment, even with insurance. The CPUSA might not have the best solution, but at least its members say what they believe.
What is your solution? Tell me what you are for, not what you are against. Calling the president names or associating him with some weird Bilderbergian conspiracy will not lower the price of gas at Flash Foods.
Loaded and waiting.
Communist and other people can get health care regardless of if they have health insurance or not. Doctors take an oath not to deny health care to anyone.
Lastly, it is NOT government's responsibility to provide you with health care. Government's responsibilities are well defined. Research them. If you want wealth and other benefits like health insurance, earn them like everyone else has had to do.
Why do you think they should be provided?
Rational! I don't think so. But, I'll give you three guesses what I think, and the first two don't count.
I would hope that you retirees who believe that people should not participate in government health care have not signed up for Medicare coverage, and I certainly hope you do not expect anyone else to pay for your prescriptions. I certainly hope you do not expect vaccinations for your children. I pray that no one you know will get cancer or need a transplant, driving them into bankruptcy and forcing them to give up everything they have worked for their entire life.
I am grateful to live in a country that is wealthy enough to afford health care for its citizens. I think we do have an obligation to take care of each other, just as we, as citizens, have an ethical obligation to pay for each other's police protection, fire protection, and roads. Why should health care be different from education or unemployment benefits?
Our whole society benefits from taking care of each other. We did not have to defend Britain in WWII, but it was in our best interest to do so. Similarly, we do not have to provide free vaccinations to poor children in Lamar County, but it is in our best interest as a society to do so.
I am not going to call you names, Gary M. I am glad you are able to express yourself without fear of a tyrannical government. But I do not see the founding documents of this country as necessarily conflicting with humanitarian principles. I want to live in a just society that takes care of people who cannot take care of themselves. I have a civic duty to promote those efforts.
Anyone who has signed up for medicare has put in their time and probably served in the military when we had a real country. Now we got a wimpy president who does not even like Americans. Keep following him, it sounds like you already support his comedy group.
I am with you on this.
Armed and ready.
