For all my friends in New York and other states that have not held a
primary or caucus as yet. Please read this article titled, The Problem With Hillary Clinton Isn't Her Corporate Cash. It's Her Corporate Worldview by Naomi Klein in The
Nation on April 6, 2016. Photograph by Shannon Stapleton of Reuters
What you will see is a sharp contrast between
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton on climate change and how accepting
money from energy companies to fund her election is compromising her
decision making and our future if we don't rapidly move away from fossil
fuels.
Welcome to Edward's Blog. I post things here that are of general interest to me. I keep two other blogs including the EPNetwork Blog at http://epnetwork.eroe.com, which covers the podcasts that I do and Edwards's Life Trek at http://lifetrek.eroe.com which is about My Sports and Taking the Time To Auto Pause Life

The Post's Wrong-headed Attack on Bernie Sanders's Health Plan
If you do not already do so, please take the time and follow former Labor Secretary Robert Reich's Blog. He has the most level-headed thoughts on so many subjects of importance.
In this post, titled The Post's Wrong-headed Attack on Bernie Sanders's Health Plan, he called out a recent Washington Post Editorial that was slamming the Bernie Sanders single payor health care plan. Reich correctly points out that the Post is assuming that the United States has the best healthcare, which in case you have totally been immune to how our system operates, it does not. For so many reasons!
Lets name a few. Very high rate of infant mortality, not all Americans have access to healthcare with 29 million still not covered by insurance, high deductibles that are pretty much unaffordable by even those earning good incomes, very high administrative costs with insurance companies, and all this while spending more per GNP than most all other western nations. Canada, which has a provincial single payor system, is showing longer life expectancy, even though, okay yes you may have to wait a bit longer for some specialized services. All Canadian citizens have access, however! It is a right and it is not a right in the United States. It needs to be!

It is very refreshing to have a voice of reason today.

America - Bernie Sanders
This is the best political ad that I have seen in years. It defines
Bernie Sanders and the political revolution that he stands for and has
stood for his whole career. No matter your political persuasion it is
hard not to see the brilliance in this 1 minute ad, titled America.
