Early in the 2016 Primary campaign, I started a Facebook group: Bernie Sanders: Advice and Strategies to Help Him Win! As the primary season advanced, we shifted the focus to advancing Bernie's legislation in the Senate, particularly the most critical one, to protect Oak Flat, sacred to the San Carlos Apaches, in the Tonto National Forest, from John McCain's efforts to privatize this national forest and turn it over to Rio Tinto Mining, an Australian mining company whose record by comparison makes Monsanto look like altar boys, to be developed as North America's largest copper mine. This is monstrous and despicable, and yet only Bernie's Save Oak Flat Act (S2242) stands in the way of this diabolical plan.
We added "2020" to the title.

I am an art gallery owner in Santa Fe since 1980 selling Native American painting and NM landscapes, specializing in modern Native Ledger Art.

I have always been intensely involved in politics, going back to the mid's 1970's, being a volunteer lobbyist in the US Senate for the Secretary General of the United Nations, then a "snowball-in-hell" campaign for US Senate in NM in the late 70's, and for the past 20 years have worked extensively to pressure the FDA to rescind its approval for aspartame, the neurotoxic artificial sweetener metabolized as formaldehyde. This may be becoming a reality to an extent in California, which, under Proposition 65, is considering requiring a mandatory Carcinogen label on all aspartame products, although all bureaucracies seem to stall under any kind of corporate pressure.

Bills to ban aspartame were in the State Senates of New Mexico and Hawaii, but were shut down by corporate lobbyists (particularly Monsanto lobbyists in Hawaii and Coca Cola lobbyists in New Mexico).

For several years, I was the editor of New Mexico Sun News, and my letters to the editor and op/eds in 2016 have appeared in NM, California, Wisconsin, New York, Maryland, the Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, and many international papers, on the subject of consumer protection. Our best issue was 10 days before Obama won in 2008, when we published a special early edition of the paper declaring that Obama Wins! This was the top story on CNN for many hours, way back then....

My highest accomplishments thus far are
1. a plan to create a UN Secretary General's Pandemic Board of Inquiry, a plan that is in the works and might be achieved even before the 75th UN General Assembly in September 2020.

2. Now history until the needs becomes clear to the powers who run the United Nations: a UN Resolution to create a new Undersecretary General for Nutrition and Consumer Protection, strongly supported ten years ago by India and 53 cosponsoring nations, but shut down by the US Mission to the UN in 2008. To read it, google UNITED NATIONS UNDERSECRETARY GENERAL FOR NUTRITION, please.

These are not easy battles, any of them, and they require a great deal of political and journalistic focus. OpEdNews is the perfect place for those who have a lot to say, so much that they exceed the limiting capacities of their local and regional newspapers. Trying to go beyond the regional papers seems to require some kind of "inside" credentials, as if you had to be in a club of corporate-accepted writers, and if not, you are "from somewhere else," a sad state of corporate induced xenophobia that should have no place in America in 2020!
This should be a goal for every author with something current to say: breaking through yet another glass ceiling, and get your say said in editorial pages all over America. Certainly, this was a tool that was essentially ignored in 2016, and cannot be ignored in the big elections of 2020.

Lujan Grisham. "New Mexicans must be crystal-clear on this point: Right now, every time you leave your house, you are putting yourself, your family and your community at risk. Only by distancing from one another, by remaining home except for essential or emergency travel, can we limit spreading the virus."

FDA Gives Gilead Orphan Status on Remdesivir/Coronavirus as "Rare Disease"~Reminiscent of Rumsfeld's Swine Flu Debacle? FDA granted Gilead "orphan" drug status for antiviral drug remdesivir allowing the Pharma company to profit exclusively for 7 years from it, one of dozens being tested as a possible treatment for Covid-19, a designation reserved for treating "rare diseases" will block supplies of the antiviral medication from generic drug manufacturers and provide a lucrative windfall for Gilead, which maintains close ties with Trump's team.

A Respiratory Therapist Describes COVID19 Lung Failure~"Gasping for Air with Pink Frothy Secretions" "We might run out of ICU beds; I don't know what happens if patients need to be intubated and put on a ventilator. Is that person going to die because we don't have the equipment to keep them alive? What if it goes on for months and people die because we don't have ventilators? Hopefully we don't get there, but if you have one ventilator, and you have two patients, you'll go with the one with the best chances, like in Italy."

Please Respond to Jennifer Rubin's Washington Post Vicious Contemptible Smear: "Bernie Sanders Has Some Nerve" Did it ever occur to columnist Jennifer Rubin or the exalted Washington Post political editors that exit poll discrepancies in at least 8 states, the rampant voter suppression that went on in Texas and other state, plus 300,000 missing Michigan Bernie votes, all add up to a vicious picture of election fraud that has not been investigated, let alone adjudicated? Nonetheless, Bernie is supposed to just crawl off and evaporate?

How to Hack Voting Machines and Flip Votes In Less Than 2 Minutes in 18 States Tobac explains that accessing the voting machine's administrative functions is as easy as removing the hood with a release button, unplugging the card reader, picking the lock to turn on the machine which she says can be done with a ballpoint pen and pressing the bright red "on" button. After the machine boots up, a "secure voting terminal" loads on the screen. An error message pops up, but Tobac presses "cancel" and "okay."

How many Medical Alarms can We Democrats Sweep Under the Rug about Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline? "Dems are sleepwalking into a brutal beating." Whether his state of mind is due to aneurysms or age, these are legitimate concerns for a future president. How much worse will this get next summer if he is the nominee trying to keep up with Trump? Dems are conspiring to gaslight the American people by engineering the election of a man clearly suffering from dementia. This is no time to be "polite," talking about the Presidency.

Please Call Your Senators Asking Them to Clarify Their Position on "Candidate Dementia" (or to Endorse Bernie) This is an overdue workable solution to looming inevitable problems, clearer every day, just around the corner in current political history: the implosion of Joe Biden's fictitious civil rights activism, plus the gaffes manifesting serious underlying medical conditions, which will be exploited massively by Trump and the GOP, even more than they are already!
