International DU'ers: Please lobby your governments to condemn America's treatment of its sick.
We the people need your help. America is guilty of genocide upon its sick and poor. America is attempting to wander into the ugly territory of eugenics. Weeding out the weak and the sick among us.

25000+ Americans die annually due to lack of access to affordable health care.

Democracy and elections, our only system of accountability is failing due to criminal corporate corruption. Our government officials answer to no one accept their corporate masters. They are owned buy corporate campaign cash. There is no justice anymore. Our "elected" government writes the laws that enable themselves to forever stay corrupt. Elections will never bring change to this nation.

How does this affect you as a citizen of Canada, GB, Sweden, Norway, Germany etc?

First, I ask that you walk out your door and look around. Has your nation become Americanized?

McDonald's, Walmart, Subway, etc.
Have you noticed that American manufacturing companies are closing shop in your country and moving their operations to a nation with cheap labor, such as China, India, Mexico etc.?
For example, the closings of several GM and Ford automobile factories in Canada in recent years hasn't helped the Canadian economy at all. My point is that you've more than likely seen firsthand the effects that a crashing American economy can have on your nation's economy.

The source of the problem is the corporate corrupt monster that America has become. America is causing the world's economy to crash.

Our national debt is 14 TRILLION Dollars and set to explode. The cost of health care is crippling to our economy and posing an obstacle in our attempt at economic recovery. Health care costs are a crushing expense to businesses. Personal bankruptcies due to debt from medical costs have been skyrocketing in recent years and are harming the overall health of our failing banking system.

Our debt + our failing banks + crushing and skyrocketing health care costs are a recipe for national economic death.

If America's economy falls, what does that mean for your nation? Are you angered by the lies from the American right wing bashing your nation's universal health care system? Are you tired of a self-righteous America thumping its chest while it commits these atrocities on its own people?

Are you tired of witnessing America invade nations and assert its will and plunder that nation, like Iraq. America attempted to drag the entire world into that quagmire. We did it all for oil.

America is aiding a Fascist government in Colombia so that our corporations can tap into a pool of slave labor. America has impoverished Cuba with its 40+ year trade embargo.

America has a death grip on the world's economy.

It's got to stop.

What can you do?

Lobby your government to boycott or enact a trade embargo against America.

Embargo
A governmental restriction on trade for political purposes. The objective is to put pressure on other governments by prohibiting exports to or imports from those countries.

Imagine for a moment, if Canada, GB, Sweden etc threatened a boycott. Other nations might follow. What a powerful message that would be.

It is time for America to become a better global citizen. It is time for America to do a much better job of taking care of it's people.

1. They are tired of chest thumping Americans
try and tell them how bad it is in America. Give it up, no one outside the USA believes that the GFC came about due to the lack of universal health care in the USA. Or that you will fix your $14 trillion dollar national debt by government run health care. Most folks in other countries don't pay that much attention to the USA. Get over yourself and fix your own problems.
