Support For Undocumented Student Aid Costs California Community Colleges Board President Her Seat
This week in the majority-Democrat California State Senate, GOP senators succeeded in blocking the confirmation of Community Colleges Board of Governors President Katherine Albiani. The Senate voted along party lines to reject Albiani, the third of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s appointees to the board voted down in the past year by united GOP opposition to the board’s decision to back the Dream Act, which would grant financial aid to undocumented students.

Just when I thought that the government had stopped paying attention to the will of the people the California Republicans come to the rescue. US taxpayers should never be forced to pay tuition for illegal aliens. Any public servant who says otherwise should be removed from office.

Bottom Line:
Like all of you. I know that health care is the most critical, and important issue facing the American people. Now, and in the coming elections. And like the vast majority of the American people, I want HR 676 (Medicare For All) passed into law NOW! “Single payer, Tax Supported, Not For Profit, True Universal Health Care” free for all as a right. Like every other developed country in the world has. See: http://www.house.gov/conyers/news_hr676.htm
“HR 676:
For church goers: less money to insur. companies and more to the church- lots more.
Srs on Medicare: save way over $100/wk. Because no more medigap, long term care & dental insur. needed. No more drug bills.”
But if we the American people fail to bring enough pressure on our current politicians to get HR 676 passed into law before the elections. We will have to identify, and replace all the politicians standing in the way of passage of HR 676. And, I think the best first place to start is with the politicians that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bills for the kids. Passed by congress twice.
But what about the President. It was Bush after all that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bill passed by congress to assure more health coverage for Americas kids. So which of the presidential hopefuls do I think will be most supportive of implementing the demand of the majority of the American people to have HR 676 (Medicare For All) passed into law immediately!
We have some very fine presidential candidates who would make good presidents. But none of the top Presidential candidates directly support HR 676, the only true Universal Health Care plan. So I am supporting Hillary Clinton. She is the only top candidate that has ever actually fought for universal health care before.
I have enormous admiration, and respect for Hillary Clinton. She fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds back in 1993. To prevent this disastrous health care crisis that is now devastating the American people, and America. She fought so hard for the American people that she risk almost completely destroying her husbands presidency. I haven’t forgotten her heroic effort. If any Presidential hopeful for universal health care deserves my support, it’s her.
Also, if we the American people fail to bring enough pressure on our government to give us HR 676 which we all so desperately need NOW! Then we will need the most skilled politician we can get on our side to broker the best health care plan for the American people that we can get. Though it will be less than we need, and less than we deserve. The politician I think to best do this is Hillary Clinton. The Clinton’s are probably the most skilled politicians in American history.
The insurance industry, and medical industry that has been ripping you off, and killing you has given Hillary Clinton so much money because they fear her. They have also given Barack Obama so much money because they fear Hillary Clinton. They think they can manipulate Barack Obama against the best interest of the American people better than they can manipulate Hillary Clinton. There is no race issue with Hillary Clinton. The Clinton’s are the poster family for how African Americans want white people to be towards African Americans.
My fellow Americans, you are dieing needlessly at an astounding rate. In higher numbers than any other people in the developed world. Rich, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. And we the American people must stop it. And fix it NOW! Keep Fighting!!! Never! give up hope. There are millions of lives at stake. Bless you all… You are doing great!

Calling an illegal immigrant an “undocumented student” is like calling a drug dealer an “undocumented pharmacist.” No matter how the PC crowd labels illegal aliens the general public sees through the smoke screen and gets even more irritated at the fact that instead of getting rid of the problem legislators constantly try to find ways spin illegal immigration in a positive or neutral light.
jacksmith, to your comment which is completely off-topic, I have never supported socialized health care and can’t imagine how it will be less expensive for the average American or how our bumbling federal government will run it effectively. Do you really want the same prople who brought you FEMA, the Imigration and the Naturalization Service to ruin the best health care system in the world? Have you tried to get a passport lately? Have we caught Osama bin Laden? The answer to those questions are NO. The best thing a government can do is stay out of the pockets and daily lives of its citizens.

I would like to respond to Lloyd Hansen for a moment. The government is and has always been in our pockets! The government and drug comp. are both ripping us all off for what.. MONEY! Billions isn’t enough for enough for either one apparently. They always want more. People that live on S.S. how can they afford medication? The drug companies are jacking the prices up to 5,000%! If the government had to pay for these medications, you bet they would regulate their prices. The government has been spending our hard earned money on crap (not all) but alot of crap for many many years, instead of spending it for the better good of America. People die everyday because of “your insurance isnt covered at this hospital”. Insurance comp. are not here for the people, they are here for the almighty dollar. Plain and simple.
