The fight is far from over. Everyone of us succeeded the minute we chose to do anything rather than just sit there & let it happen. Now it is even more urgent to get those who said that they were interested in buying the hospital & running it to remain active. I am concerned about what Cathy had added about the license to the CN. I think that her condition might be helpful but perhaps I am wrong.
If I am understanding what she said at the hearing speciality hospitals do not have to treat everyone. They can turn people away. Her stipulation was that the license has to be keep as a full service acute care hospital specifically so that no one can come in and buy it at a discount to make a "medical mall".
It is also very important for everyone to see the connection this issue has to race & class. As we live with what is going to be our "Great Depression" elected officials (Jon Corzine) brag about the largest budget cut in the history of the state of NJ. They allow NJ's National Guard to be deployed again!!!!! Many of these men & women are serving their 3rd tour of duty!!!!!!
And as they do this our elected "representatives" are planing their attack on Iran. (If you think $4.00 a gallon is a lot to pay for gas just wait till they attack Iran!)
Don't put your hopes in elected officials. Put your hope in your selves and each other. Don't let your activism stop now.
The next step is to join us Saturday in front of the Military recruitment office in downtown Plainfield at 11 AM. It is on Front Street at Park Ave. Just 3 storefronts down from where we had our protest recently where we marched in the street.
HEALTHCARE NOT WARFARE!
