"If the United States is supposed to uphold "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" how can a sick or dying person without health care have these rights."
~Motivated In Ohio
"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional."

Tell Limbaugh's advertisers: Stop supporting sexist attacks on women.
Tell Limbaugh's advertisers: Stop supporting sexist attacks on women: "When Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown Law School student, testified before Congress to protest rightwing attacks to limit women's access to birth control, Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" and a "prostitute."
Here's what Limbaugh actually said:
"What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute... She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception."1
Unfortunately, what Rush Limbaugh says matters. He has a bigger audience than any other commercial radio host in the country, and what he talks about on air has the power to drive the Republican agenda -- an agenda that is already obsessed with radical backslides of womens' ability to protect their own health.2

Rise of the Livestreamer: Telling the Truth About Occupy in Real Time
Rise of the Livestreamer: Telling the Truth About Occupy in Real Time: "Livestreamers are armed with a smart phone, an app and an audience of people at home watching every frame.
The first Occupy camp I went to was in Los Angeles at City Hall. On the corner there were communists standing next to Ron Paul supporters next to vegan activists next to those LaRouche people (who always seem to show up) — hanging out with some union guys all carrying signs saying they were the 99 percent. Yes, it sounds like the set-up to a political joke. I asked my guide, Cheryl Aichele (they had guided tours for the first couple of weeks at Occupy LA), to explain how this was possible. She said, “We’re not going to fight over what’s not the problem.”
But that was then. Now as Occupy has evolved, there seems to be lots of fighting over what’s not the problem. “It's frustrating,” says DC occupier Rob Wohl. “We're having the wrong discussion. Everyone wants to talk about whether or not to fight cops.”..."
