What would it have been like if not for my fellow liberals? Some things are worth fighting for.

[The Straight Story]

As I mentioned in an earlier post today my 9 year old was taken to the ER by Ambulance.

I was at orientation for a job and did not find out until much later. Shortly after I posted she made it home.

Her mom has something called 'Molina' - health insurance provided by the state here in Ohio.

Provided by people like you.

If the RW had their way and she was sick and throwing up blood and her mom did not have the money she would have been told 'Sorry about your luck, tell your parents to work harder and make more money.'

It is because of the left I was able to get Unemployment this past year.

It is because of people like YOU that my daughter got the care and the meds she needed.

Daddy went and got her a gift bag with some toys (bubbles, etc), a card, and some soup - because I got paid today by unemployment.

She posted tonight on FB to her cousins: Just got back from the hospital a few hours ago, I love the ambulance truck It was so nice and cold in there :)
and:
I was there for 4 hours :( I saw 3 different doctors... I got a popsicle too!

It was because of you, my liberal friends, that she got the care she needed, that she was able to see nice doctors and a really cool Ambulance driver who gave her a teddy bear to hold on to.

If the RW wins and has their way, kids like her would suffer - because her daddy and others can't work on slave wages like people in China and Mexico.

I kept this article in my pocket most the day just to post here

U.S. Companies Are Still Rushing to Juárez
The Mexican city is dangerous and drug-infested, but manufacturers like the wages, freight costs, and location

In return for building factories in the maquiladoras, multinationals get favorable tax treatment, pay low wages (sometimes as low as $4.21 a day), and take advantage of worker training sponsored by the local government. After mass layoffs during the recession, Juárez factories have added 27,000 workers in the past 10 months. Blue chips like Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Delphi Automotive, and Scientific Atlanta show no signs of leaving. El Diario, the local daily, is filled with help-wanted ads from Lear (LEA), Delphi, Siemens (SIE), and other companies. Through April, nine companies had obtained permits to operate in Juárez, about the same as last year. K. Alan Russell, who runs industrial parks in Juárez for dozens of corporate clients, mostly American, says he has landed more business in 2010 than all of last year.

You want to blame people for being unemployed? Call them lazy? You want to hold back health care to sick people, the kids, the elderly, and then blame US??? How about blaming the companies who are whisking away our jobs to other countries so that big investors from the Middle East, China, etc, can make a bigger profit - and then call me lazy and unpatriotic?

You give tax breaks/incentives to these companies, bail them out, and then tout how wonderful capitalism is. You champion them when they make your 401k grow while your fellow citizens watch as factory after factory closes - as small towns fall into depression.

And you want to bitch at me?

You on the RW protect the investors, while we on the left protect the workers. You best be careful because those big companies that you are protecting will soon see YOU as a bad investment and move your job elsewhere. And when they do, don't come crying to me and blaming the policies of the left.

We stand for the workers, their families. We stand with and for Americans.

You stand for a dollar sign.

It was because of REAL patriots today that my daughter got care.

And I stand with them.
