CAMP FOR CONGRESS
Lynn Westmoreland aka 3 Commandment Lynn is an example of the GOP and their Southern Strategy approach to politics. It's time to show Westmoreland his time and the politics of division are over. I'm asking you help elect Stephen Camp by making a donation to his campaign. If you choose to make a contribution please add $.03 to your amount to let Stephen know where the donations are coming from and show your support for GA-03.
Once again the term uppity has been highlighted nationally. Brent Staples wrote a great piece in the NYTimes today that discussed the history of the term. Deoliver47 has already highlighted this in a recommended diary earlier today. I want to take the opportunity to highlight one of the people who recently used the term and give you an opportunity to help defeat him.
Stephen's positions are available at his website for you perusal, but here are a few highlights;
Providing Affordable and Quality Health Care
We are caught in an insurance and health-care cycle that is adversely affecting the insured as well as the uninsured people of this country. Today, nearly 50 million Americans lack health insurance. Often, these Americans go without care, which results in higher health-care costs down the road. When they receive care (be it now or "down the road"), the cost of treatment gets passed on by providers to those who do have coverage, resulting in higher and higher premiums. Consequently, tens of millions more Americans are woefully under-insured because they cannot afford quality health insurance. It is in all of our interest to break this cycle and provide affordable health care for all – starting with our children. To do it well, everyone must have a role in achieving this coverage, including health-care providers, employers, private insurance, and the public sector. The objective, however, must be the same for everyone at the table – meaningful health care for all Americans.
Growing our Economy, Investing in Education, and Building a Sustainable Energy Policy.
We are in an energy crisis that is causing prices to spike at the pump, the grocery store and across the board. Those increased prices, along with a steadily increasing unemployment rate and a lingering housing recession, are indicative of the simple fact that working people in Georgia and across the country are hurting. We need to act now to put money back in the hands of those who need it most and can use it best, the middle class, through tax cuts and rebates.
And besides, look at his cute kid! Donate for Jack's future.
