Two leading Florida real progressives join this Saturday’s Mark Weaver Show, which also takes a look at the shocking capitulation of the Democratic Party, lacking any leadership from their president on the issue, in eviscerating the “public option”, which will sustain ever rising health insurance premiums.
Saturday’s Mark Weaver Show (9-11am) talks with Sandy Davies of Miami Progressive Democrats of America on how PDA is coping with shadow Republican President Obama and if there is any hope of a progressive reformation coming from within the Rahm Emmanuel-Robert Gates-Timothy Geithner- Larry Summers-Hillary Clinton-McChrystal-Mullin-Goldman Sachs-Alex Sink (Bank of America)-Kendrick Meek & Bill Nelson (more troops to Afghanistan)-Ted Deutch (bomb Iran) Democratic Party that just gutted the little that remained of the “public option” which will now enroll only 2% of the American people at rates HIGHER than the private insurers are charging and leave us still paying twice what the rest of the advanced countries pay for their drugs and healthcare. Way to go, corporate Democrat sellouts! Is PDA just being worked by the party corporate elites to prop up the base to provide the votes for the elite interests?
Also, Central Florida Veterans for Peace joins a fight to stop the “free speech pens” now enforced, ironically, in St. Augustine’s Plaza de la Constitution, part of the slow fascist shift in the U.S. curbing free speech by herding protests into police barrier zones at the periphery of public gathering spots. Guest is Terry Buckenmeyer.
