The Head On Radio Network is proud to present:,

http://www.healthaction2012.org/  in Washington D.C.!

“The coming year will be pivotal for the health care justice movement. Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will remain under attack and the constitutionality of the individual mandate and the Medicaid expansion will be  brought before the Supreme Court. The 2012 legislative session will be critical for states as they implement the law in ways that work for consumers, and health advocates will also need to ensure that the consumer voice is being represented in federal regulatory and rulemaking processes.

Let’s come together as a community in January to address these challenges and develop plans for the coming year.

Join us in January at Health Action 2012:

  • Hear powerful speeches from state and national leaders, including those in the Administration;
  • Learn about how states can protect Medicaid and the next steps for implementing the ACA;
  • Share field strategies and tactics and strengthen your advocacy skills;
  • Network with state and local advocates from across the country; and
  • Enjoy the political satire of the Capitol Steps and have fun! ”

America’s Christmas Present

No Comments 16 December 2011

When the announcement came, I didn’t really pay attention.  After all, who believes politicians? Even if it is the President?  This war had been going on too long and we had been lied to too many times for me to even raise an eyebrow.  Then, I’m cruising the net and see the picture above.

Suddenly tears are running down my face and I’m sobbing so hard Ican hardly type.  (I still am.)  The plane in the picture had just landed at McChord AFB about two hours from here.   This is really happening.  Those soldiers are being pulled out of Iraq. Yes, I know some will be redeployed after the holidays, but for now our boys and girls are coming home.  FINALLY.  We should also never forget the thousands of boys and girls who came home only to be buried  Never forget them.

We won’t be leaving any behind, they are all coming home.  Whatever faith you belong to, I hope you give fervent thanks for this. If you have no religion, send thanks to the universe for getting it right for once.  We are getting our kids back people.

That’s the best Christmas present this poor battered country could get.

Suffer The Little Children

No Comments 18 November 2011

By Cassie

I’ve always been different from other kids.  Smarter, prettier, more resourceful.  Mostly more resourceful.For instance, in elementary school I carried an empty lunchbox to school most days and a full lunchbox home.  My school cafeteria had a little table near the exit for used lunch trays, and a tray in the back where you could put any food still in the package, full milk cartons, or whole pieces of fruit.  That table was my lunch line and my grocery store until we started getting food stamps. One of my teachers told me that it was OK to take an apple from the table and save it for later, and that was like a green light for me to start filling my empty lunchbox every day with enough food for dinner.

When I was little, there were times when we didn’t have enough food in the house.  My mom’s an addict, and feeding us was less of a priority for her than it should have been.

Sometimes we had enough food, but my brother and I weren’t allowed to use the stove or mess up the microwave.  Sometimes my mom had money but used it for drugs rather than food.  Sometimes she forgot.  And sometimes she grocery shopped and cooked wonderful meals. Sometimes we were hungry, and sometimes we were just food-insecure.

I became a much better-fed, happier, and less worried student when I was in fourth grade and we actually signed up for food stamps and the school’s free-breakfast and free-lunch program, after my fourth grade teacher urged my family to sign the forms.  I started eating hot meals at school and worrying less about where my next meal would come from.  Shockingly, it turns out that enrolling us in these programs could have landed my mother in jail!  Source Article

Guy Fawkes’ Masks Symbol of Protest

Guy Fawkes’ Masks Symbol of Protest

No Comments 04 November 2011

Technorati

Remember, remember the masks from November. Or any other month for that matter. As the Occupy Wall Street, as well as many Occupy (Insert city name), protest grows, it seems the movement has taken a page from “V for Vendetta” and adopted the Guy Fawkes mask as its symbol.

Guy Fawkes is of course famous for his attempted destruction of parliament in London in 1605 on November 5. Fawkes was captured and executed for the plot. November 5th went on to become known as Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night in Great Britain and the Observance of 5th November Act or Thanksgiving Act was created a year later to observe the failed attempt on King James the first.
Over the centuries, the figure Guy Fawkes has gone from terrorist to a symbol of taking on the powers that be in protest. Funny how an image can change over time.

In 2006 the Wachowski brothers adapted the Alan Moore comic series “V for Vendetta” into a screenplay. In the comic and the film a hero called ‘V’ wears a Guy Fawkes mask while battling the fascist, post-nuclear war regime which usurped the Monarchy in futurist England. “V” represents a voice for the people, challenging them to stand up for their rights.

How does this all tie in with protests and hacker groups? Well the film did all the leg work. From 1606 the image of Guy Fawkes the terrorist has turned into Guy Fawkes the freedom fighter. In the film ‘V’ Guy Fawkes is seen as just that and ‘V’ sees him as the perfect symbol for his agenda. That and a penchant for very well spoken diatribes endear us to the character in the film. In one of ‘V’s’ public address he makes a very profound statement. “There is something very wrong with this Country.” Later in the film we hear probably one of the most memorable lines “People should not be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

Media ‘too corrupt or too dense’ to understand ‘Occupy Wall Street’

No Comments 06 October 2011

Keith Olbermann blasted the mainstream media on his show Wednesday night for being either “too corrupt or too dense” to understand the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

Numerous media outlets repeated the criticism that the protest had no specific purpose or demands.

Fox News host Charles Gasparino called the protest “idiotic” and CNN anchor Erin Burnett mocked the demonstration in her debut. The New York Times had described the protest as a “noble but fractured and airy movement of rightly frustrated young people” whose purpose was “virtually impossible to decipher.”

“Here is what Occupy Wall Street says and wants,” Olbermann said.

A Couple Of Thoughts On The End Of DADT

No Comments 23 September 2011

To all the men and women who came out to their friends and families after the end of DADT–Blessings upon you and your families.  It is my hope that all your families’ reaction was something like young man’s father’s reaction.  It was so wonderful and so very touching.  That father and son are blessed.

From everything learned by other countries, there will be few if any, problems.  I have a question for all of the nay sayers and homophobes who screamed bloody murder at even the thought of repealing DADT.

Guys, go to the nearest window and look outside.  Is the sun still in the sky? It is? Is the earth still rotating?  It is?

Then shut the fuck up!

They Called Him “The Maverick”

No Comments 08 August 2011

We here in Oregon called him Senator Hatfield and we loved him.

Senator Mark O. Hatfield died last night.  It was the passing of a giant.  He was one of the youngest governors of the State of Oregon, one of the younger (and longest serving 30 years) US Senators.

Hatfield was an environmentalist who worked tirelessly to make sure that the state he loved was cared for properly.  At the same time, he also believed in expanding trade and educational opportunies for his people.

The list of things this man accomplished is as long as your arm.

What endeared him to his people most of all was his willingness to go against his own party if necessary.  With Sen. Hatfield it was neccessary.

In 1953 he introduced and passed legislation in the House that prohibited discrimination based on race in public accommodations before federal legislation and court decisions did so on a national level.

When he ran for Governor of Oregon, he was opposed by his own party.  That didn’t bother him a bit.  He won the primary and then the general election.  He was the youngest governor in the history of Oregon at that point in time at the age of 36.

His most famous vote was against the Vietnam War.

Mark O. Hatfield was a Governor, a U.S. Senator, and a statesman.

He was also a Republican.

Sen. Hatfield was one of two Republicans I’ve ever admired.  I don’t think we will see men like him again.

That is so sad.

We’ll miss you Sen. Hatfield.

WOODBURY, MN—Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann fired back Wednesday at critics who have said the Minnesota congresswoman’s ability to lead the nation would be greatly hindered by her frequent, hours-long blackouts from which she invariably awakens covered in blood. Source
