Students feeding the hungry!

http://www.foodrecoverynetwork.org/about-us/our-work/
Let's hope that this meaningful activity will not be curtailed by the powers that want to take food from the needy and school lunches, and keep food prices escalating by paying farmers not to grow food and or throw food away.

Looming food-stamp cuts split Democrats, anger anti-hunger groups | McClatchy

How dare Democrats vote for such a sin. 
Billions more to farmers not to grow crops, or to waste food, just to keep food prices escalating while cutting food stamps and school lunches!
People that voted for those Democrats need to reconsider. 
NO I DO NOT use or get food stamps, so it's not about me. I do pay taxes and care where my money goes!

In some states women are dying at an alarming rate.


In some states women are dying at an alarming rate. 
 States with the HIGHEST increase in female deaths are in the South. LOWEST rates are in the Northeast, the Upper Midwest, and states with high concentrations of Hispanics and college graduates.
How much does the increase in women's death have to do with medications? More medications are prescribed to women; drugs that are later found deadly and even unnecessary.  When men are ill they get tested to determine illness, women are given drugs for mood disorders.  
New medications can be a blessing, enhance life, cure disease, help with pain,  but deregulations  increasing mortality, and would  it make a difference if doctors were also held responsible for drugs they prescribe not just pharmaceutical companies for bad drugs?

5 Ways Anti-Immigrant Hate Makes Its Way Into Media And Policy


Immigrants? Who really feels and thinks like this? What about when their ancestors immigrated to America?

Stand Up For Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Stand Up For Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Not everything is about me, I became a citizen the old way and came to the US from an affluent family to family that were already citizens. I became a citizen the long way, it was so worth it and I felt that everyone should do it the way I did. Later in life, I saw the gross injustice to people welcomed to do jobs no one wants or by greedy employers - virtually slave labor - those people do not have the opportunities I did, and  that is why today I support this Immigration Bill.
