Dear Mr. President:


View Dear Mr. President video.
by Pink

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

Al Gore: "I strongly support universal, single payer, government funded healthcare."
(from Current.com – published on July 21, 2008)

Ask your Representative: What side are YOU on? A single-payer healthcare for All or the private, profit-driven insurance companies who deny care?

Are you with us for a guarantee of quality affordable health care for all? We need coverage that meets our families’ health care needs and is affordable, based on a sliding scale. We need government to be an advocate for us and set and enforce the rules so insurance companies put our health care before their profits. We need to be able to keep the health care that we have and have the choice of a public plan so we’re not left at the mercy of the same private insurance companies that have gotten us into this mess. We need quality, affordable care we all can count on.

OR

Are you for leaving us on our own to buy private health insurance?Leaving us to fend for ourselves in the complicated private insurance market? Do you want insurance companies to be able to sell bare-bones plans with high deductibles? Do you want to start paying income taxes when your employer pays for health coverage? You don’t want any regulations on private insurance so they can keep denying coverage for pre-existing conditions and raising rates on the sick. And you don’t want any limits on health insurance company premiums or profits or on how much drug companies can charge for prescriptions.

Where’s the CARE in HEALTH?
If you are like the millions of Americans who are frustrated, embarrassed, angered, and just down right disgusted with the American healthcare system, you’ve come to the right place.

Healthcare should not be a privilege. It should be a right to every American, black or white, obese or thin, poor or rich, young or old, living in the United States.

Our mission is to help solve the problem of our American healthcare system by educating our citizens and finding a common ground on this issue. We believe every citizen should have an equal opportunity to healthcare without limitations of preexisting conditions or financial gain by insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Our goal is to end selective healthcare so that American citizens will never be denied based on previous medical conditions or on a financial basis.

The majority of citizens will never experience the American Dream because they are faced with endless debts due to medical bills or the fact that they cannot afford or qualify for health insurance. We aim to end this problem so every American has the luxury of proper healthcare.

We must stand together and make change happen. What good does our vote do when we continue down the wrong path? We must demand change in our country and hold our government accountable for our people.

The time for change is NOW. Not next year. Not next century. NOW!
