The breathing dead

It is clear that the right wing Republicans under the banner of the Trumpettes are leading the greatest charge against social benefits for the aged since Ronald Reagan  put federal taxes on social security income. AARP is leading a counterattack which will win kind words from the Paul Ryans and the Ron Pauls of congress and their party followers. Do these men represent us? Of courser not! All we have to do is follow there proposals for doing away with unsustainable Obamacare to understand where their friends hide in the slogans for a  a rebuilt America. At times, my friends, I feel as if I were a member of the 30,000,000+ “breathing dead” who stand by as a failed congress debates our very right to live! in minimum quality! Our passivity is our real enemy and the strength behind Paul´s and Ryan´s hateful aggression. As a former Republican, I walk away from what it was. Of course with the Democrats in shambles, there is no where to go. AARP alone can do little. Only armed with postcards and letters can we wake up people in congress to the fact that we are no longer the passive, breathing dead. We are alive. And, more than 30,000,000 strong, we are standing and we will vote them out of office. Via letters and my blog at https://overcoffee.blog, I beg you all to join the fight against those who love the country so much they would destroy it for the special interests that contribute to the  party coffers. I am very lucky. I pay into Medicare but never use it because I live in poor, little Spain where social security protects people. We thought about going home but  we decided that at our age we could not afford it. Senators, Representatives of both parties, this is the greatest condemnation an older American can make against you.
