iSpeak on Funding Iraq War vs. Healthcare
No, Mr. Spitzer-Bush. You are in a people business, but it seems like you have no compassion for people. If you think about it, there are more of us than those who are with you.

One day I was walking in the woods.
was hearing God speaking. He told me
to pick up the stones under my feet.
I asked why? God said the stones would make
me happy and sad. I didn't understand so I picked up a few. In the morning God told
me to check out the stones I shook my
pants out. The stones fell to the floor
the stones were changed to rare gems
and jewels. Happy and sad, God? I asked.
God said happy yes because you have
the rare gems sad because you didn't pick
up more. Many people you know are stones.
As you treasure them they become gems. Timothy McAuliffe

NYC | As stated in our emergency Delegates meeting, we must educate ourselves, then our chapters and communities. Let the NYS Senate and Assembly and the US Congress know what we feel about cutting Medicaid and Medicare cuts. Educate the entire country on universal healthcare. Remind Mr. Bush what happen in Vietnam. How many lives were lost, and how much it cost. To my best estimation, my generation finished paying for that conflict. Right now my children, grandchildren will have to pay for the stupidity of President Bush his administration. Could any educated politician tell me why we arein Iraq? Don't tell me for the liberation of Iraq or Sadam Hussein. Patrick Alleyne

I agree. The money that we spend in Iraq should be for health care and education. Bring back our troops. That was a personal problem between Hussein and Bush family. If Bush wants a war, spend his own money and send his two daughters to the fight.Jose Quispe

Long Beach, NY | Not only do the cuts mean a loss of jobs, and they also compromise quality care. They will also affect all families in one way or another, in this double income society. Who will help you take care of your mother, father or grandparent when you need to go to work? Not all of us can afford private care. Hell, we can't afford daycare for our children. Gail Cook
