It is really amazing how indifferent the international media and human rights organizations are to atrocities against helpless human beings done by Saudi Arabia and Yemen in Northern Yemen. These two countries have made close to 200,000 civilians homeless and all of them are forced to migrate. And Saudi Arabian Government with the help of their Yemeni counterparts are killing and injuring thousands more over there. WHY? Due to the sad fact these Houthis are a helpless & poor minority in Northern Yemen. Is there a difference between North Yemeni Genocides and those done by Hitler and Serbs in Europe and racists extremists in Rwanda? Certainly not but perhaps lack of interest by some countries would prevent them from stopping these outrageous atrocities against humanity. Lately Saudis have outdone themselves by dropping phosphorus bombs on civilians. Is there a difference between these cruel acts and those done by 911 terrorists? Certainly NOT! In both cases: 1-atrocities were done against innocent human beings; 2- They were not provoked by those innocent civilians; 3-and mostly Saudis and some Yemenis are involved; 4-these heinous acts were conducted by citizens of countries who call themselves allies of the US, with friends like these who needs enemies! 5-Not even one Shia or Iranian is involved in these types of aggressive and monstrous acts and those people are wrongfully branded enemies of the US?! Really with friendly and harmless foes like these who needs those types of hostile and harmful allies? Really which one is which? I am really confused now!
Please note:
1- Christians and Jews are considered to be people of the book by Moslems as well as the holy Quran and NOT non-believers.
2- There are Al-Qaeda terrorist extremist who consider more than a hundred Million Shia Moslems NOT true believers and believe they should all be killed. But thank GOD those guys are less than 3% of Moslem population of the World. We have radical Christians who think the same about Moslems and there percentage is higher than those radical Moslems. Most likely these types of e-mails are initiated by such radical people. A True Moslem is a Christian and a Jew as well.
4- In Islam even non believers are respected and not killed and Prophet Mohammad did just that when he conquered Mecca. He told his followers to respect the home all enemies even atheist... And Christians and Jews are people of book and the holy Quran has many stories about Saint Virgin Mary, Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus as well as the full story of Ten Commandments.

Healthcare Reform made SIMPLE and understandable for ALL in order to prevent abuse by the opposition resulting from ambiguity by the general public, we should:
1- Give it a descriptive and familiar name such as the All American Healthcare Plan (AAH PLAN)…So that no American CITIZEN would have to deal with AAHs of Pain and financial problems at the same time.
2- Make sure we answer all frequently asked questions and people’s concerns in five simple answers or less. And certainly not more! If we do all that, then we will succeed, Guaranteed
Mrs. Palin is already serving on two death panels in Alaska; a-Poor Unsuspecting Moose’s Death Panel (PUMDP) and b- Poor Unsuspecting Wolves’ Death Panel (PUWDP). So she should NOT go around and spread rumors about the very health care plan which will help senior citizens and poor people the most! After all THE DOMCRATIC PARTY is the party which has mostly helped senior citizens as the poor and has maximized their benefits wherever possible and NOT the Republican Pro-Rich People Party (RPRPP). Mrs. Palin DO NOT try to show that your care for any body but your self and your 2012 candidacy. This type of candidacy will be based on spreading rumors to make sure that President Obama’s humanitarian National Health Insurance efforts fail. You Mrs. Palin can NOT fool any body, your pro-rich report card is known to every body.

Florida crowds want Sen. Bill Nelson's healthcare stance
People gathered outside Sen. Bill Nelson's offices in Coral Gables and Davie and urged him to take a stand on the proposed healthcare overhaul.
BY BETH REINHARD Fri Jul 24, 2009
The Democratic party sought Thursday to make the political debate over healthcare personal, inviting the sick and uninsured to share their struggles at rallies...

Join us for our next Stand with the President on Health Care event at Senator Nelson's Coral Gables Office, 2925 Salzedo Street, 4pm, Thursday, August 13th:
Please join OFA Thursday July 23 as our volunteers across the state of Florida join together to Stand with the President on Health Care Reform. We will be gathering outside of Senator Bill Nelson's office to raise awareness about the need for all members of congress to work together with the President to bring about Health Care Reform by the end of 2009. We'll be hearing from members of the community who have been personally affected by health care and learning about President Obama's three core principles for reform: reducing costs, allowing patients choice, ensuring that quality and affordable health insurance is available to all Americans. This gathering is part of a larger campaign by OFA to mobilize support around the need for health care reform in communities across the country by taking the discussion out of Washington DC and onto front porches and kitchen tables. We are at a critical time as Congress approaches its August recess, and OFA is ramping up our activity for a National Health Care Reform Week of Action. President Obama would like both the House and Senate to pass legislation before they leave for August recess. We can't afford to punt this, the time for reform is now. Come out and show your support for Health Care Reform!

We had a great Public Option NOW Healthcare Rally at Senator Nelson's Coral Gables Office on Thursday, July 9th at Senator Bill Nelson's Coral Gables office with 60 people from SEIU, AFL-CIO, MoveOn, OFA, DFAM, and Democracia and made CBS4 News with Michael Williams: "Intense Healthcare Debate Sparks Rally In Fla." http://cbs4.com/video/?id=79340@wfor.dayport.com.
Also, we had 10 counter-protesters from the South Florida Tea Party, (their website at: http://www.NOGovernmentHealthcare.com.) Their website starts with "NO" and that's the only thing the Republican Party stands for these days.
We will meet again outside Senator Bill Nelson's Coral Gables office at 2925 Salzedo Street at 4:00 p.m., Thursday, August 13th.

We rallied for: "A strong public option must meet four key criteria: it should be national, available to anyone, ready on day one, and publicly run. No weak half-measures--like the regional, private co-op plan--are acceptable."
We've petitioned. We've called. We've faxed. We've dropped off fliers. Now, the health care fight is really heating up in the Senate, and some Democrats are trying to bargain away the heart of President Obama's health care plan—a strong public health insurance option. We need to escalate our campaign for real health care reform. On Thursday, July 9th, MoveOn is organizing nationwide "Public Option Now!" Health Care Rallies to send a strong message to every senator: Health care reform must include a strong public health insurance option. RSVP:http://pol.moveon.org/event/healthcareaction/94169 or

It would be great to have an increase of the Latin community to volunteer and become more active in following this historic agenda.
Thats an area I'll encourage myself to improve upon in the coming days.
On June 27th we will be supporting OFA's National Health Care Day of Service by hosting an educational healthcare community event. Please visit FIND EVENTS for June 27th events or in the zip code of 33004. This event stems from this past Saturday's National Kick-Off of Health Care Reforum events to begin the Grassroots movements and to pull the communities together to take action. It was a great turn-out and I hope to see this group grow.
A meeting is scheduled for this weekend day & time forthcoming. If you are interested in attending, volunteering or being a participate please contact the event host.
Mine is Health Care! It's been awhile since I've interacted on this site and blog, and have hosted a community event. But with my discontentment with our health care system and how our government allows the pharmacutical and insurance companies to dictate how our doctors practice medicine, along with the medical system itself being one of the most closed minded and irresponsible business practices that ever exsisted, I had to jump on the opportunity when asked by the President to host a Community Health Care Reforum Meeting to get the nation on the same page and focused on changing things.
On Saturday, June 6, 2009 12:00 - 2:00pm in the city of Dania Beach I invite you to join me and a group of concerned citizens and residents who want to be informed of Obama's new health care reforum plans as well as, and equally as important, have an opportunity to be a part of the type of change that takes place!
I don't know yet the details of the agenda, but that is forth coming in the next week. As the information is received, it will be communicated to all who sign up. Visit the local events link for Dania Beach, to get the details and directions. This meeting is for anyone who wants to attend as Health Care reforum is a County & State issue and it's going to take the support of ALL the residents and communities in Florida. This is the FIRST kick-off gathering for communites ll over the country to get America focused, educated and ready to step up to make it happen! It's time to get to work! It's time to make it happen!
Whether one likes it or not those Middle Eastern rightist are better equipped to do a Peace Deal than moderates; that is IF THEY WOULD WANT TO DO SO! Why? I believe the following points are sufficient:
1-Mr. Menachem Begin who made the one and only durable peace deal in the region (with Egypt) was a rightist prime minister of Israel at the time. Mr. Robyn who was a moderate politician tried to do another peace deal and he was assassinated by an Israeli extremist…I repeat an extremist and NOT a rightist/conservative because there is BIG DIFFERENCE between the two. Rightist/conservatives oppose peace deals through political means and extremists assassinate peace promoters!
2-Those who usually oppose any kind of a deal are the rightist/conservatives and when they approve a deal, then moderates who usually support peace will not & COULD NOT oppose them;
3- On the other hand, if moderates try to make peace, then rightist/conservatives who usually oppose any kind of a deal based on their previous stance CAN and WILL easily oppose it; because if there would be any kind of a deal, then they want to be a major part of it;
4- The same goes for some other countries in the region; those legitimate and elected governments who have the power to make war can easily make peace as well AND from the position of power and nobody could blame them for doing so from a position of weakness or fear.
5-Those regional fearful dictators who ask Israel to do their dirty work and attack Iran do NOT have the best interest of Israel in mind. They neither have the power nor the domestic and international legitimacy to make peace…And all they want is to create more conflict between Israel and Iran so they could fish in muddy waters! BUT I certainly believe Israelis are much smarter than falling in to such a NO WIN trap. Iranians have a saying: “It is good to have wise friends, but a wise enemy is better than an unwise friend. A wise enemy will help you reach a new height; an unwise friend will create for you an unprecedented plight.”
May all REAL as well as FAIR & JUST PEACE PROMOTERS in the WORLD WIN! I repeat my claim that Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas could be positive peace partners. Those people could easily negotiate a FAIR & JUST PEACE ACCORD from the position of power and international respect and not from the position of fear and weakness like some regional dictators who try to persuade Israel to do the ultimate unwise act…And as eight years of Bush Administration threats proved; Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas do not respond well to threats BUT respond very well to a positive treat. So all threats can do is to ALIENATE THESE POTENTIAL, REAL & POWERFUL PEACE PARTNERS and I certainly HOPE wise Israelis who want REAL PEACE in the region would refrain from such a language, even if it is just words…Because even words could be misinterpreted!
