10/23 News Roundup – Bernie Brings His Message To Hundreds In Rollinsford, Sanders To Rally In Somerville & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 23, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 23, 2017

Happy Monday friends!

Plenty of news to sort through today so I’ll just start with Sanders in Rollinsford and go from there:

Sanders brings message on health care, education, taxes to hundreds in Rollinsford

Bernie Sanders was the keynote speaker for the Strafford County Democrats’ fall event, and he drew a large crowd, including many state Democrats.

The Martel Roberge American Legion Post was set up with 500 chairs, but Rollinsford Selectman Mike Rollo estimated 600 people were present.

Sanders talked about health care, education, workers’ wages and the politics of Washington.

“We can sit here and make fun of Donald Trump and that would be easy to do,” said Sanders. “What we need to be doing is focusing, and uniting so we can bring this country back to where it should be, to where all Americans have rights and not just the top tier. We need to not allow this administration to divide us on any level, not on race, religion, country of origin, color of skin or sexual orientation.”

Sanders said he came with good news and bad news out of Washington.

“The good news is that even though the Republican Senate has a 52-to-48 majority, in the last five months, they have tried and failed five times to repeal the Affordable Care Act. That would have made 20 million people lose health insurance.”

Sanders said health insurance is a right for every American. He said the answer is to expand Medicare to everyone and bring in a single-payer health system. He said other countries do it and spend 50 percent less per capita than we do now.

“The bad news is that the Republicans just passed a budget, the ugliest and most destructive budget ever passed in the history of the United States,” said Sanders. “It is a framework and not a done deal and we need to work to defeat it because it is a moral obscenity.”

If/when video becomes available, I’ll have it up!

In the meantime, the rest of the days news will be in the comments, including:

*Sanders To Seek Senate Re-Election As An In Dependent
*2018 Candidates Hit The Streets
*US prepping nuclear bombers for 24-hour ready alert status
*Jimmy Carter says he is willing to go to North Korea on peace mission
*California fires took thousands of homes. Now rent in hardest-hit areas is soaring
*Half a Million March in Massive Uprising Against Spanish Plan to Overtake Catalonia
*Pipeline Updates, Waters Protector News & More

8/4 News Roundup – Paul Spencer’s Campaign For Congress, Nina Turner Discusses Our Revolution & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on August 4, 2017 by LieparDestinAugust 4, 2017

Arkansas Democrats rely on political newcomers

Paul Spencer teaches politics and government to high school students in Little Rock and for the past several years led a group that’s pushed for stricter ethics rules and campaign finance limits. He’s never held elected office or appeared on the ballot, but he’s now hoping to retake a central Arkansas congressional seat in what had been a reliably Democratic district.

Spencer faces a steep challenge in trying to win the 2nd Congressional District seat, as does a nonprofit executive running for the 3rd District seat in northwest Arkansas as well as a “semi-retired” rancher and farmer campaigning for the 1st District in the eastern part of the state. None of the three Democratic congressional hopefuls have ever held elected office before. It shows the difficulty Democrats may have in finding well-known candidates in a state where Republicans hold a firm grip on the top offices, but also is a sign that dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s agenda could draw candidates from outside the party’s traditional bench.

“This is going to be the great litmus test of American democracy,” Spencer said. “If the people are ready for a change from the status quo, maybe they are ready to start choosing people from their community. That’s the way the system was set up in the first place under our constitution.”

From Spencer’s Official Website:

CAMPAIGN FINANCE AND ETHICS

Elections that reflect the will of the people are paramount to upholding the integrity of a representative democracy. We must begin by acknowledging some basic truths:
•
Although non-human entities such as corporations, labor unions, etc., enjoy certain protections under law, they do not possess the same rights that are Constitutionally guaranteed to actual human persons in our electoral system.

•
Money spent on campaigns should not be equated with the political speech rights of actual humans.

This campaign operates under these core values and as such will only accept contributions from actual people.

HEALTHCARE

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Despite their divisions, Americans agree we need to fix our broken healthcare system. Compared to the other major nations of the world, we spend the most money on healthcare, yet we have a shorter average life expectancy to show for it. We must join the rest of the developed world and expand access to high quality healthcare to every citizen regardless of age or income. Universal coverage through a Medicare For All program will guarantee cost-effective healthcare to all citizens. We owe it to our future generations and to our country’s economic stability to fight for healthcare for all Americans.

6/27 News Roundup & Open Thread- Nina Turner: “We Need A New Deal Remix & An Economic Bill Of Rights”

The Progressive Wing Posted on June 27, 2017 by LieparDestinJune 27, 2017

Hello friends! Starting the day off with Nina Turner being excellent as always during a CNN appearance. In just a few minutes she manages to highlight the losses of the Democratic Party over the past decade and used the opportunity call for a “New Deal Remix” and an “Economic Bill Of Rights”. She also pointed out that we can’t just talk about issues but also must “be about them” using the example of the California Dem Majority Leader killing Medicare-for-All she and how neither Republicans or Russians were responsible for that.

More news/video/etc. in the comments.

Tim Canova Discusses His Florida Primary Against Debbie Wasserman Schultz

The Progressive Wing Posted on August 4, 2016 by LieparDestinAugust 4, 2016

In other news DWS has finally agreed to at least one debate

S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Thursday she would debate her primary challenger Tim Canova.

“I have always said that when we got to August that I would focus on the question of whether or not I was going to debate my opponent,” she said in a brief telephone interview. “I am going to debate my opponent.”

Canova’s campaign treated the development like a victory. “It’s good news for the residents of South Florida,” Canova said. “Debbie Wasserman Schultz has never had to account for her record. She’s never engaged ina debate as long as she’s been a member of Congress. And it’s well past time to have that accounting.”

..

Until Thursday, Wasserman Schultz declined to say whether she’d debate Canova, saying a decision would come after Congress started its summer recess and the national political conventions concluded. “I’m home now and turning my attention to it,” she said Thursday.

Canova said there’s plenty of time for several debates before the Aug. 30 primary. “It would be beneficial for the voters to hear more than once from us and I would suggest three to four debates of a couple of hours each would make a lot of sense.”

He welcomed her decision, but expressed some skepticism. “I will believe it when I see it. She has been dodging me for four months and dodging her own constituents for weeks,” Canova said.
