Universal health care bill again ignored by state lawmakers

I have to say that I am utterly appalled that our state legislators would focus on trying to make “The Evergreen State” the official nickname for Washington rather than dealing with issues of substance to Washingtonians! For instance, after “running out of time” last year to pass Senate Joint Memorial 8006 and leaving it stuck in the House Rules Committee and then again taking the entire session to ignore it until the last days, they again refused to make a simple statement asking for federal help to assist states in creating just and cost effective health care systems.

All in order to maintain their cushy relationships with their donors! We are not fooled by their continued delay tactics. Our House and Senate leaders all need to be voted out of office! They have obviously been bought by our corporate warlords!
