21 Ways the Canadian Health Care System is Better than Obamacare
Dear America:
Costly complexity is baked into Obamacare. No health insurance system is without problems but Canadian style single-payer full Medicare for all is simple, affordable, comprehensive and universal.
In the early 1960s, President Lyndon Johnson enrolled 20 million elderly Americans into Medicare in six months. There were no websites. They did it with index cards!
Below please find 21 Ways the Canadian Health Care System is Better than Obamacare.
Repeal Obamacare and replace it with the much more efficient single-payer, everybody in, nobody out, free choice of doctor and hospital.
Love, Canada

Oregon Progressive Party Opposes U.S Military Strike on Syria
Submitted by info on Thu, 09/26/2013 - 04:41
Our Oregon Representatives in Congress need to hear from us about Syria. The Oregon Progressive Party offers this statement against the use of U.S. military force in Syria.
Please contact your representatives in Congress with your views; feel free to send them this statement. Their contact information is at the bottom of this message.
Please support peaceful diplomatic solutions
and VOTE NO on any authorizations for U.S. military strikes on Syria.
History clearly guides us us to the course of action the United States must take in Syria. Only peaceful diplomacy will rid Syria, and the greater Middle East, of weapons of mass destruction in all its forms.
The use of U.S. military force is no solution for assisting the Syrian people to free themselves from tyranny and begin to build democracy. We are told military strikes will be extremely limited and involve no long term commitments or U.S. ground troops, but "limited wars" often escalate, since the U.S. can never "cut and run."
