Tell Off Rob McKenna! #3


Here is you second chance to sign the petition telling Rob to stop it.  Or more reasons to if you are undecided.  This was sent to me by Washington CAN. 

Exactly one year ago today, millions watched as President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Now seniors are paying less for their prescriptions and care, youths are being covered by their parents’ health insurance, and children with pre-existing conditions can’t be denied insurance coverage.

Sadly, our own Attorney General Rob McKenna, is standing in the way of people’s right to a healthy life. 

McKenna joined a lawsuit with other conservative Attorneys General seeking to overturn the entire law, including even the most basic reforms such as protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Rob McKenna is putting partisan politics above good policy and he is trying to give insurance companies control over our health. Don’t let Rob McKenna stand in the way of your right to quality, affordable health care.

Sign this petition demanding he drop the lawsuit.

By signing onto the national lawsuit, our Attorney General has put the life-changing benefits, cost-savings, and consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act at risk for millions of Americans. Attorney General McKenna should tell parents of sick children who finally got coverage that their insurance is now canceled. He should tell cancer patients they will once again face annual and lifetime benefit limits that will force them into bankruptcy instead of getting them the care they need. McKenna should ask seniors to cough up the $250 donut-hole checks they received from the new health care law to buy their prescriptions.

Demand that McKenna drop his lawsuit and protect our health. Sign the petition.

Attorney General McKenna needs to hear that the people of Washington want access to quality, affordable care not insurance company abuses.  There’s no turning back. We must move forward in implementing the law. The health of children and families in our state depends on it.

Sign the petition and ask your friends and family to sign it too.

Thank you for all you do,
the Washington CAN team

Just War and Just a War

One of the thorniest problems man face is when, if every is war justified.  The bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace, but that could be just a bow to the inevitability of war in the fallen world.  If also says that they will beat there swords into plough shares and study war no more.  Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, William Miller and other Catholic Workers often ascribed to pacifism or near total pacifism face with the near impossibility of every untangling the moral consequences of violence from the ends desired in undertaking it. But St. Augustine, faced with a world where Christians were starting to replace pagans as political leaders and Christians we soldiers in obedience to the leaders tried to come up with criteria by which war could be measured.   Augustine knew that the Gospel question on it was complex.  One the one hand Jesus told people to turn the other  cheek and also told Peter to put away his sword and not defe...

Seeking the Romance of Life

A recent trip back to California, where I spent the middle half of my life (the part between the Seattle bookends)  and other smaller events have made me reflective of past events and places.  My brothers and I stopped in Santa Cruz, briefly, where I had lived for years, and stopped by a nightclub I had spent time in, the Catalyst, and asked the bartender the current status of local things. I found out Club Zayante in the Santa Cruz Mountain had closed.  When I got home I researched the Club, which was once of the hottest nightclubs in Central California to learn what happened.  I found out the club had closed for financial reasons then burned down. But what I learned about the owner, Tom Louagie intrigued me. He had come out from the east coast on a romantic quest, to find the Cannery Row he had read in Steinbeck. He had the idea of moving there and living a literary dream from the past.  He didn't know that that Cannery Row had died...
