As the world knows, today in Salem citizen activists are rallying in support of Single Payer Healthcare for All.  The movement has vast public approval, the economics of it demand that we adopt the system.  But our elected representation has collectively been run through the medical insurance sheep deep so many times they have to hide at night because they glow in the dark. 

And in Madison, Wisconsin, if you think Governor Scott Walker's budget is a bad deal for working people, take a look at his other agenda items:  Walker plans to eliminate laws against racial profiling - hard-won law, I might add.  Walker also plans an Arizona Approach to Immigration and much much more;  all of it highly racist and stinking with rotten blood on broken blades in the eternal War on the Poor.
