Fwd: Perhaps it's time . . .
From: John H
Perhaps it's time that we completely rethink our entire medical system – not just single-payer Medicare for all instead of big pharma and big insurance based platforms – but completely upend the entire the structure to the point where we recognize the inherent value of medicinals found in nature rather than simply relying on the 'integrity' and 'honesty' of the pharmaceutical industry and their medical cohorts to provide adequate treatments for our ills. This is not as off-the-wall as it might first sound. More and more research is confirming that many of the plant-based medicinals which have been utilized for centuries are just as and, in many cases, more effective than the concoctions developed by the drug industry and prescribed by physicians. Not only are many of these so-called natural drugs more effective than their commercial counterparts, they are also safer for long-term use – and even, as the attached article explains, less addictive. This would, of course, disrupt the fabulously financially rewarding for those involved in the never-ending pursuit of such 'illegal' drugs including CIA drug smuggling used to support illegal operations in foreign countries, not to mention the financial incentives for the private prison industry.

Fwd: Can it get any worse?
From: John H
Attached are two articles discussing the current state of affairs and how it got this way. I know that some of you will find the conclusions of the second to be distasteful, but sometimes the truth hurts and justifiably so.
Happy Mothers' Day!

Fwd: The #1 Reason Why Kids Quit Sports
Kids drop out of sports for lots of different reasons, but there is one factor that dramatically increases a child's "stick rate" in a sport. The theory is laid out here. Just scroll down the page a little and look for the sentence: It's the "secret sauce". The answer might surprise you… Stand Out, Ben Baker |

Fwd: It's in the air
From: John H
It's in the air, it's in the water – cancer that is; but what we don't have these days is the money to pay for treatment, at least that's what they keep telling us. Attached is an excellent article from The Nation dealing with Modern Money Theory (don't worry, it's easy to read) and two charts that should concern us all – at least those of us who live in the Ohio-Mississippi river basins.

John --
My name is Paula Jean Swearengin. I was born in West Virginia, a coal miner's daughter and granddaughter. My stepdad was in the coal mines. My uncles were in the coal mines. As a little girl, I was proud of my coal heritage. I was proud to know that America was built on the backs of West Virginians and by families like mine.
But times have changed, and now my eyes are open. For far too long, West Virginia has been told we need to choose between clean water and jobs -- I'm here to put an end to that myth. That's why I'm running for US Senate to create a Brand New Congress and put Joe Manchin out of a job.
My state can't afford six more years of the rudderless leadership Senator Manchin is providing. His cozy relationship with mining bosses and corporations is going to lead to more suffering like my family has endured. It will lead to more grandfathers lost to black lung, more uncles with heart disease, more children struggling with cancer -- and no access to health care. Senator Manchin lacks the vision to see the coal industry is dying. It's time to invest in new industries with clean, safe jobs for all.
From Tennessee through West Virginia and all the way to Pennsylvania Appalachia is struggling, and leaders like Joe Manchin are content to stand idly by while the jobs dry up, leaving whole towns in the dust.
These last few months I found myself wondering: Why is Joe Manchin cozying up to the people trying to gut Medicaid coverage for his state instead of fighting to make sure coal miners don't lose their health care? I bet the answer lies in over $330,000 he got from drug makers and insurance companies.
Well I'm not like Joe. I can't turn a blind eye to the stagnation in our state and I can't be bought. I'll push for investments in infrastructure and new energy -- industries that bring in good jobs and fair wages. I will fight against Trumpcare because I won't allow our people fall through the cracks of America's broken health care system. I will fight for Medicare for All. I want the people of West Virginia to have the future we deserve. The future we've paid for with generations of hard work and sacrifice.
Can you donate $27 to give my campaign team the resources we need to win?
I tried to work with Senator Manchin as a concerned citizen. I wrote, I called, I went to his town halls. A lot of us did, but he blew us off.
I got tired of our concerns being ignored, and I decided it's time to stop playing by their rules. It's time to change the game. I'm running for Senate to do something Manchin won't -- represent you. I believe in West Virginia and I think it's worth investing in.
Like every Brand New Congress candidate, you have my word that I will never take a dime from special interests groups or lobbyists. My campaign will be fueled entirely by small dollar donors like you. I'm ready to go to the US Senate and show America what Appalachians are made of.
As someone who has donated to Brand New Congress in the past, I'm asking you to give me a fighting chance to take down Manchin. He's got millions of dollars from a handful of people so I'm going to need a handful of dollars from millions of people.
When I confronted my legislators at town halls for being on the take from coal companies instead of investing in new industries that could provide better, safer jobs, I received death threats from folks who the coal companies had spread their lies and propaganda to. But they found out that Appalachian women don't scare so easily. If you help me get elected, I will never back down from anyone in power -- I will take your fight to them.
I believe in a West Virginia where good jobs don't have to come at the cost of clean water. I know Appalachians are determined, hard working and smart. And when we band together, there's nothing we can't accomplish. I'm ready to stand up for you and your family to deliver the prosperous, healthy future we all deserve.
I am honored to join candidates across America to create a Brand New Congress, and I believe in the vision of a corruption-free Congress that works for all Americans. I believe that when we go into Congress together, we can do more than fight for what's right -- we can turn what is right into law. All my life, I have fought for the rights and opportunities of every West Virginian and now, I'm ready to take the fight to Washington. This isn't about me and it's not just about West Virginia -- this is about all of us. We built this nation, now it's time to invest in ourselves. This is our time.
In solidarity,
Paula Jean Swearengin
Brand New Congress Candidate for Senate, West Virginia
