Healthcare is one the main concerns of voters in the 2024 elections. Fifty-nine percent of the public think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage,

The U.S. health system is dead last among high income countries when it comes to “affordability, administrative efficiency, equity, and healthcare outcomes.” Every other “developed” country on the planet provides health coverage for all its citizens. The U.S. has the world’s highest healthcare spending per capita, one of the results of nearly two-thirds of the population being covered by private/corporate insurance.

The November election is three weeks away. Several million individuals have invested time, energy and money on candidate campaigns and ballot measures. 

Elections are important – arguably more so this year than most. Electing representatives who genuinely value democracy is essential – including those who are knowledgeable about and committed to ending corporate rule and the corrupting influence of massive money spent/invested in elections. 

Fire Prevention Week is observed nationally each year from October 6-12, coinciding with October 9, the anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

This year’s campaign is, “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!”

It should be “Stop Corporate Arsonists.”

This month, we shine the spotlight on Robert Scull, a dedicated volunteer from North Carolina's 2nd district. Robert’s unwavering persistence and strategic approach have paid off, as he has successfully secured an in-person meeting with Congresswoman Deborah Ross on Friday, October 11, 2024.

Congress passed a funding bill last week to avoid a government shutdown. The stop-gap spending bill funds all government programs at their current levels through December 20.

Those levels were established in a combined $1.66 trillion package of two spending bills passed in March. The larger of those bills, totaling  $1.2 trillion, funded Defense, Homeland Security and State departments and other aspects of general government. More than 70% of the funding of that package was earmarked for the military. Meanwhile, non-military programs decreased.

The stop-gap spending bill simply extends and locks in the current spending inequities across the federal government. 

Who (or what) benefits from current federal spending? Increasingly it’s corporations as governments increasing “privatize” (or more accurately “corporatize”) what previously were public functions performed by public employees whose work was publicly transparent driven by public service vs. corporate profit.

Joint Statement from Veterans For Peace and Move to Amend

Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza has produced increasing calls for an immediate ceasefire, while a pro-Israel, U.S.-based group has waged an increasing war on democracy with little public scrutiny and no end in sight.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most politically and electorally influential groups in this country. They have bombarded our “democratic” system spending over $100 million just in 2024 to punish opponents of Israeli policies, including the military assault on Gaza that’s claimed over 40,000 deaths and displaced 2.3 million people.
