Deal's decision to forego Medicaid help.

Letter to AJC 8-29-2012

Governor Deal's decision to deny medical support to the poor in Georgia is a clear indication of how crucial this upcoming general election really is. As a result of apathy and right wing brainwashing,  Georgia now operates under a republican dictatorship where money rules and the core principles of American democracy have been cast aside.

Do we want to live in an America where the poor, the sick, the elderly are disdained and subjugated. An America where women and minorities are bullied  and forced to live in someone else's ideological world? Or would we prefer the America of old where we have compassion and caring for one another and we all share in the cost? 

Given the rhetoric of the last few months  it's obvious to me that the republicans are once more casting their fairy dust into the air hoping they can confuse enough people to further their goal of total domination of all levels of government.  Georgia is a forerunner in that consolidation. Buyers beware.
