Look, See, and Here We Go...on health care
(4 comments) American needs to wake up and admit there is a huge problem with our health care system--to go on acting as if there's not a need to do something major is suicidal. We didn't get into this mess overnight, and we won't get out of it overnight either, but we do have to do something sooner rather than later, and we've got to start somewhere. If you don't like what's being proposed, come up with something better. Simple.

The Cruelest End
(1 comments) America's dirty little secret of horse slaughter for the purpose of human consumption overseas can be stopped if you act now. 90,000 healthy horses a year--including pregnant mares and months-old foals--are being abused and tortured in 3 foreign owned slaughterhouses in Texas and Illinois in preparation for becoming someone's dinner in Europe and Japan. This is animal cruelty at its worst and must be stopped now.
