Message From President Obama...
Passing This (From the White House, President Barack Obama) On:
"If you’re like most Americans, there’s nothing more important to you about health care than peace of mind.
Given the status quo, that’s understandable. The current system often denies insurance due to pre-existing conditions, charges steep out-of-pocket fees – and sometimes isn’t there at all if you become seriously ill.
It’s time to fix our unsustainable insurance system and create a new foundation for health care security. That means guaranteeing your health care security and stability with eight basic consumer protections:
No discrimination for pre-existing conditions
No exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses, deductibles or co-pays
No cost-sharing for preventive care
No dropping of coverage if you become seriously ill
No gender discrimination
No annual or lifetime caps on coverage
Extended coverage for young adults
Guaranteed insurance renewal so long as premiums are paid
Learn more about these consumer protections at Whitehouse.gov.
Over the next month there is going to be an avalanche of misinformation and scare tactics from those seeking to perpetuate the status quo. But we know the cost of doing nothing is too high. Health care costs will double over the next decade, millions more will become uninsured, and state and local governments will go bankrupt.
It’s time to act and reform health insurance, drive down costs and guarantee the health care security and stability of every American family. You can help by putting these core principles of reform in the hands of your friends, your family, and the rest of your social network.
Thank you,
Barack Obama"

Feeling the Absence of Kingston Area Public Television...
According to whomever I spoke to at the Board of Elections office yesterday, it was unclear - as of yet (yesterday) if any primary elections were going to be held... [If so, the date would be September 15th)
According to an article that starts on the front page of today's Daily Freeman, there is just one primary election scheduled for September 15...
According to other sources, there are at least three primary elections scheduled for September 15th...
And...
Say...
What?
Tell me --- if I put my time and effort into pulling together the proposed (see below) meetings (my heart has taken another whack...) - would anybody (Ward / District) even come?
Does anyone out there --- other than political "ins" - a handful of community activists - and the candidates themselves even know who is running?
Does anyone care?
I missed making some invites to the meetings...
Me...
Researcher (lol) extraordinaire!
So my apologies go out to Ms. DeFalco - and to whomever else I missed that might be in the mix...
Geesh...
Public Access television - now I REALLY feel it - was a TREMENDOUS resource in regard to giving us a glimpse of candidates, keeping us up to date on changes, etc...
And without KAPA?
I don't even know exactly - FOR SURE - in regard to Ward 5 - who all of the candidates are!
Sure, I could call here, call there, etc. - and find out some things...
But after someone at the Board of Elections told me yesterday that there were no scheduled primaries as of yet...
And the Freeman told me today that there is just one primary scheduled...
And another source told me today that there are at least three primaries scheduled...
Whom exactly do I turn to for cold warm hard soft FACTS?
And, again - if I hold the proposed meetings - who will come?
I've have received (Thank You) responses from some folks --- I have venues and dates I'm checking out --- and apparently (again, my apologies) I've got more invites to extend...
But I "may" trim this down to just the "meet the public" meeting or meetings - and leave the debates (if there are to be any) to someone else...
Truth, Love, Peace, Equality, Humane Justice and INFORMATION PLEASE...
