    'Tis a sad commentary that everyone forgets - Single Payer is the ONLY method for us to get away from the burden of the Industrial/Health Complex, to paraphrase Ike. If naysayers continue to proclaim it can't be done, and it appears they are a very noisy minority, then those who believe we CAN achieve success, will falter. STOP being naysayers Thanks - that's my humble opinion, J

    • “ Thanks to everyone who attended and participated in an excellent opportunity for real dialogue with Sen. Dede Feldman and Javier Gonzales. I thought the discussion was important, passionate and enlightening. Sen. Feldman did a super job of putting things in perspective. As she said, health care reform is a process, not a product. So good to interact with our next State Party Chair and start the process of meshing into a team. Rah. ”
    • “ Dede is an exceptional leader as she always looks for what will work out well for the majority of citizens. Thank you Senator Dede Feldman. ”
    • “ Javier Gonzales gave a nice speech & answered questions with good humor. I was impressed and think that he has the knowledge to fill Brian Colon's shoes but I don't know if he is aware of the time that Brian Colon put into the Chairmanship. Colon has spoiled us with his gift of time. Javier probability will ask more of our legislature in carrying the Democratic Platform forward, which is long overdue. Senator Dede Feldman gave me a new perspective on health care as to why even small gains are so important in our fight for Health Care RIGHTS. Thank you, Senator Feldman. ”
    • “ Kind of a small crowd for such a great presentation. Javier Gonzales, future dem state party chair, did a great job introducing himself and taking questions. Senator Feldman educated us on the healthcare reform bill. I learned alot! ”
    • “ Great guests: Dede Feldman on health care, Javier Gonzales the likely new chair of the Dems in NM. And great discussion amongst the guests and the attendees. ”
