Education and health care are not luxuries they are RIGHTS

Every American has the right to education and health care not just the wealthy. We have to sell this in a powerful way to the American people and sell this as DEMOCRATIC values.

Today in America, the richest country in the world people live in extreme poverty and seem to accept it. RISE UP!! Do not accept this. This is what we have to sell to all 50 states.

While I agree with your sentiments, it is time to get off the free education and health care train and start facing reality. Donald Trump isn't going anywhere as long as the GOP is in power. It is time to start facing facts and prepare.

We can chew gum and walk at the same time. We need to tell people it will take a large blue wave to accomplish it.... but we can. YES WE CAN.

The GOP/Fux Ruse/right wing talk /hate radio propaganda has them brainwashed. We will have to get the vote out by making calls from phone banks, knocking on doors and having the self control and patience to ignore their ignorant belief system that is ingrained in them and has been for generations.

In a way we have never done before. I don't know how to do that but I know this is what we have to do.

Freedom to raise your family/ love who you want.

Does not seem like to much to ask does it?

The richest country in the world cannot give us any of this.
A pipe dream.

When will we become a civilized society?
