Folks, we got Health Care Insurance Reform. It's not perfect but it is good. It can be improved with time and we must remember that it has taken over 40 years from LBJ enacting Medicare to today - so, hooray, for our side.
Now, onto the next fight - Immigration Reform.
As with Health Care, our immigration policy is seriously malfunctioning and millions of undocumented migrants is the result of that malfunction. We need to fix it.
You thought that the Right with their teabags, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh lost their collective shit over health care? You ain't seen nothing yet.
President Barack Obama is reassuring immigration reform advocates that he is committed to working with Congress on a comprehensive bill to fix a "broken immigration system."

The teabaggers are the same hate groups that have always been with us and will always be with us. At times they get violent. These people are motivated by fear and ignorance and fueled by a manipulative corporate propaganda machine.
I can tell you from first hand experience that these people confuse Mexican-American labor rights active Cesar Chavez with Venezuela President Hugo Chavez.
They have no sense or sensibilities and are completely irrational and, I dare say, dangerous.
This is the coming fight this summer. Let us gird our loins and prepare for battle.
