We are in a Democracy Destroying Crisis! 2021-03-04

We are in a Democracy Destroying Crisis! President Biden!

Republicans are busy doing everything they can to end Democracy and turn this country into a Trump led dictatorship!  

Democrats desperately needed to pass $15 Minimum Wage, but you took it out of COVID-19 Relief Bill!  

But you don’t want to get rid of the Filibuster knowing full well there is no Republican support or good will.    

You waste all the hard work of others that got you elected with a Democratic House and Senate.

Republican fascist politicians cheer while the public and your base are disgusted with you and Democrats!

.

.

Democrats need to pass Voter Reform to counter outrageous Republican voter suppression!   

But you don’t want to get rid of the Filibuster knowing full well there is no Republican support or good will.    

You waste all the hard work of others that got you elected with a Democratic House and Senate.

You guarantee Republicans will certainly win (steal) the 2022 elections and take over the House and Senate!

This will make you a useless lame duck President awaiting the crowning of the Trump led dictatorship in 2024.

Why are you  becoming a major negative  instrument in the Democracy destroying crisis??????

..

.

Democrats need to pass serious Police and Legal Reform to counter outrageous unjust murderous behavior!

A police & legal system that continues to operate behind the White Supremacy attitudes of the Jim Crow days!

But you don’t want to get rid of the Filibuster knowing full well there is no Republican support or good will.    

You waste all the hard work of others that got you elected with a Democratic House and Senate.

Why people of color ever supported you, we will never know?  Your History is not very  good with them!

Why are you becoming  a major obstruction in  finally bringing justice to those long oppressed????

.

.

Democrats need to pass a true Universal Health Care as the rest of the industrialized world has long had!

Imagine all people regardless of income covered by Medicare For All a comprehensive health care from inception to heaven’s gate!

No more for-profit blood sucking insurance companies! 

No more burdensome monthly payments and co-pays!

No more begging bureaucrats for health care you need but they are so heartless to deny!  

No more bankruptcies and heart-breaking Go-Fund pleading because of outrageous medical bills.

But you don’t want to get rid of the Filibuster knowing full well there is no Republican support or good will.    

You waste all the hard work of others that got you elected with a Democratic House and Senate.

Why in a serious pandemic with massive job loss? 

Why when the fatal  flaw of corporate provided healthcare has now been exposed? 

You still support the myth of a for profit corporate controlled health care system rather than a universal affordable health care for everyone!

.

.

Democrats need to pass a comprehensive program to combat the impending climate crisis that threatens the existence of most life on earth!

Most climate scientists believe we might have only a decade to prevent a runaway global warming catastrophe!

Already everywhere in the world “100 year“ disaster events are starting to occur on a yearly basis, a  forewarning of even worse times to come!

Young people have led the fight for a Green New Deal that will secure a future worth living!  A livable future for the next 7 generations!

But you don’t want to get rid of the Filibuster knowing full well there is no Republican support or good will.  

You waste all the hard work of others that got you elected with a Democratic House and Senate.

You still support climate busting fossil fuel corporations and others who worship their immediate profits over future existence of life on earth!

.

.

Democrats need to do a major overhaul of our foreign and military policies, finally turning away from one of  wars, war crimes, oppression, and massive human rights violations. 

Our national priorities are never ending wars, massive military budgets, nuclear weapons and more than 800 military bases in foreign lands!

We complain and struggle to combat against the mass migration flows that come to our borders and the borders of our European friends!   

Yet we continue to ignore the fact that our wars, coup plots and dictator support are what drives many of these same desperate people out of their beloved homelands!

These people, often families, must risk everything to find some peace,  justice and economic future elsewhere!

Violating International laws, our Constitution, and the UN Human Rights Charter, we have no hesitation supporting those same violations by friendly nations who have long helped our corporate interests!

Yet, we hate those nations who have chosen to improve their own  people’s lives rather than sell them out to these foreign corporate interests!  

Against these nations, we relentlessly attack with Economic Sanctions,  Internal Rebellion,  Election Interference, Assassinations, Coups  and Wars to bring them into compliance with our corporate interests!  60+ years for Cuba and Palestine for example!

Unfortunately, ending filibusters will do little good on this issue as most Democrats and Republicans have always joined in solid bipartisan support for these countless crimes against humanity.  

Mr. President, I guess one should not expect anything different from you!  On this issue you finally have the bipartisan support you worship! 

Bipartisanship is something you will never find elsewhere in the “filibuster” Senate created long ago to help guarantee the continuance of Slavery!  And little has changed!

AB-988 Mental health: mobile crisis support teams: 988 crisis hotline

AB-988 Mental health: mobile crisis support teams: 988 crisis hotline This bill would establish the 988 Crisis Hotline Center, using the digits “988” in compliance with existing federal law and standards governing the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The bill would require the Office of Emergency Services to take specified actions to implement the hotline system, including hiring a director with specified experience and designating a 988 crisis hotline center or centers to provide crisis intervention services and crisis care coordination to individuals accessing the 988.

2021-02-22 Legislation Will Transform CA Response To Mental Health Crises Assembly Bill 988 will establish an alternative to 911 for those experiencing mental health emergencies

Assembly Bill 988 will implement the new nationwide 988 Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Hotline created last year by the Federal Communications Commission and Congress. The 988 hotline, which all states must implement by July 2022, replaces an underutilized, hard-to-remember 10-digit number.

The bill was introduced by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) in partnership with The Steinberg Institute, The Kennedy Forum, Contra Costa County, NAMI of Contra Costa County, and the Miles Hall Foundation, the organizations sponsoring the legislation.
