Some of the methods we may want to adopt in order to transform this dream into a reality may seem difficult to imagine materializing but are nonetheless possible, as long as we work together, utilize our political vehicles capable of organization such as student and anti-war movements, grass roots organizations, third party alternatives, and unions, and opt not to include the enemy, or the CEOs in the healthcare conversation, so we may have a chance of winning this battle. One way we can educate is by infiltrating, organizing, and speaking out against profit-based solutions that leave the present system in tact. Any candidate’s so called solution which inserts the profit motive into the formula should be a signal to everyone that the individual or group advocating for “Universal Healthcare” may very well be trying to sell you the same crap in a box just with a different colored ribbon.

Only apathy and fear can deter our efforts. We have the facts and truth on our side, and that’s enough to take on the top brass of this country, who for some reason contrary to reality, think they have the divine right to own this nation and to let their archaic “free-market” decide who lives and who dies. It's time we jumped into the cold pool, so the next time a "Mr. Rivera" near you stands up at a convention and is ready to take questions after he has backed a faux-universal healthcare plan, you will be armed with the knowledge to conquer the myths, and thereby put the people listening on the course to truth and determinative action. If a third party solution couldn't penetrate the mainstream with the astoundingly powerful presence of Ralph Nader at the helm, then we are left no choice but to crash their party, and make no excuses for our bad manners.
