Walk 4 Healthcare -> Healthcare 4 All
http://walk4healthcare.org


Very Informative insightful Evening. There will be more.


Now Let's play with Math


$20 a head x 307,286,355 Americans x 10 years = $6.1457271E10 on my calculator. Because it doesn't have enough room for the zeros, let's see the number $61,457,271,000. THAT is one heck of a theoretical single payer healthcare pool. Just for fun let's add a zero

$614,572,710,000

WOW


That's it for now, Pass it on,

Chit with ya'

Walked the Talk

Mornin',

Separating Wheat from Chaff is what farmers do.

Thin the Herd has many meanings.

Who gets to chose is quite popular.


Is lying to communities in order to to send young people to die to protect corporate property Moral?
When is self interest healthy?
Who has the right to decide?
Who enables Justice?
Who are the stakeholders?
Do you know?
Tell US !

Courage has growth pangs,
HR 676 will work,

It's almost September

I want to Dance for many good reasons, for many more seasons,

I Hope you will Dance with Me.

Can you hear the rain on the leaves?
Can you feel the fan helping the breeze?
Can you see 100 years of America reaching for the noble aspirations in the daily reminder from Emma Lazarus?

Touch my grasp and you will.
Because you are free to do so.

Tonite we dine in celebration of those who have walked the talk, for the memories of good that we should be.

Enjoy,

Have a Great day

Sincerely,



Peter Lott Heppner

Teddy Talks





"This is the cause of my life. It is a key reason that I defied my illness last summer to speak at the Democratic convention in Denver—to support Barack Obama, but also to make sure, as I said, "that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American...will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not just a privilege." For four decades I have carried this cause—from the floor of the United States Senate to every part of this country. It has never been merely a question of policy; it goes to the heart of my belief in a just society. Now the issue has more meaning for me—and more urgency—than ever before. But it's always been deeply personal, because the importance of health care has been a recurrent lesson throughout most of my 77 years."

— Ted Kennedy

Healthcare Fundraiser

Mornin',

This much I know, I was born to leave this campsite better than I found it.After 51 years I'm still trying.
100 years ago, in America Universal Healthcare Efforts began, http://www.pnhp.org/facts/a_brief_history_universal_health_care_efforts_in_the_us.php
Chicago was smaller then.
After World war II, Other Nations created healthcare programs for all their citizen's, 60 years later America is still discussing how to take care of its' own.
Emma Lazarus remind's us Everyday on the Statue of Liberty of our Noble Aspirations http://www.libertystatepark.com/emma.htm
Healthcare is of Global Import. Enabling healers to heal around this country and around this world is a good purpose for me.
Others want to help them and have shown their support by walking. They began in Chicago and walked to Bethesda & Washington D.C.

P.S. A year ago Senator Kennedy, Robert Novak, myself and others began the Brain Cancer Experience. HR 676 is the Healthcare Reform we the living can support. Bi-Partisan, 535 Congressional Legislators can vote on and pass into Law HR 676 thereby creating a healthier Future for all.

Let's become a part of Common Good Sense History.

Support Senator Kennedy's Memory Through Healthcare Reform

Sen. Ted Kennedy has passed away at the age of 77, this 2002 Nation profile by the late Jack Newfield captures the essence of what this legend meant to the progressive movement.

The light has gone out, and with it that infectious warm laugh and intensely progressive commitment of the best of the Kennedys.

It would be fitting if Sen. Kennedy's passing itself served to refocus the health care debate on the moral principle that lies at its center.

Though animal welfare was not one of Sen. Ted Kennedy's signature concerns, he was always there for the cause, and he had all the right instincts on the subject.

This much I know, after getting diagnosed a year ago with 3 Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytomas, there is no Second Place for me now. With regards to Healthcare Reform in America, the same Reality Applies!
