I have a plan for Health Care, “if”!

Posted by Tom Awtry on November 15, 2007

My Beliefs, Life & TimesRemembering back to when former President Bill Clinton was campaigning for the Presidency, one of the main reason’s he was elected was he had a plan to address Health Care for each and every American citizen. Okay, his plan, which I felt was admirable, didn’t make it through congress; but that was almost fifteen years ago, and America is still struggling to come up with one.

Maybe I can’t see the forest for the trees, but every American, including myself, fully understands it going to cost them some in added taxes and perhaps some hardships with a new system that will need ironing out, until the Health Care plan works out properly. So, the next question comes to mind, who’s going to present a plan that workable enough to pass congress, accepted by the president and affordable enough that the American people can utilize the plan?

Senators Clinton and Obama have plans, but again they put their “if” saviors into their plan’s, which means, “if this happens we can do this” or “if some thing doesn’t happen the this can happen”, so in other words they’re “covering themselves”.

Governor Richardson, my presidential candidate, also has a plan for Health Care, but there’s no “if” clauses in his plan. Please render a listen and a bit of a read to his plan of tackling this fifteen year old nightmare that’s embarrassing our nation in the world community and hurting us Americans.

Governor Richardson discusses his National Health Care Plan

Governor Bill Richardson discusses his national health care plan at a forum of presidential candidates sponsored by the Service Employees International Union and the Center for American Progress Action Fund. The Richardson Plan is a realistic, common-sense solution based on new ideas and proven methods.
March 30, 2007

Health Care

 

Governor Richardson’s health care plan uses new ways to expand proven sources of affordable coverage to all Americans. It guarantees that all Americans will have choices of high quality, affordable care by giving every American the choice to keep their current coverage or obtain coverage through an existing, well-established program. My plan can be paid for without raising taxes. When some do not have access to affordable care, all Americans end up paying the price.

 

Covering Every American

 

Working families and small businesses will be able to purchase coverage through the same plan that members of Congress enjoy. Americans 55 and older will be able to purchase coverage through Medicare. Veterans will get access to the high-quality care they deserve, when they need it, without bureaucratic hassles.

 

Keeping costs under control for families and businesses

 

Everyone who needs coverage will get an advance refundable tax credit based on income. Like auto insurance, all Americans will have to have health coverage and employers will pay their fair share of employee health care costs.

 

Eliminating High Interest Rates for Medical Expenses

 

Richardson will clamp down on banks and credit card companies that charge outrageous interest rates for medical care debt. Lenders need to do their fair share.

 

Investing in Prevention and Healthy Lifestyles

 

Richardson will invest in prevention, streamline administration, and support healthier lifestyle choices. In New Mexico, he got junk food out of schools, increased physical education, doubled the number of school based health centers and enacted a statewide public smoking ban.

 

Providing a “Heroes Health Card” to all of our Veterans

 

The conditions at Walter Reed and so many VA facilities are a disgrace. Richardson’s plan will give every veteran returning from active duty with a Heroes Health Card that provides them with a choice of physicians wherever they live. No one who has served in our military should have to drive 100 miles to the nearest VA facility just to get care.

 

Making Prescription Drugs Affordable

 

I have helped the people in my state get more affordable prescription drugs. Americans are tired of big pharmaceutical companies that rake in profits while they struggle to pay for basic, lifesaving medicines. The Federal government should negotiate prescription drug prices through Medicare.

 

Making Cancer a Thing of the Past.

 

We need a strong focus on prevention and screening — every American who could benefit from proven screening should get it. I am a strong believer in investing in science and technology. I will substantially boost the NIH and NCI budgets. As Governor, I increased the cigarette tax that funds the University of New Mexico Cancer Center.

 

HIV/AIDS

 

In New Mexico I created the Billy Griego HIV and AIDS Act. My Vice President will serve as Chair of the HIV/AIDS Commission. That will help assure that this issue get the leadership and profile that it deserves. We’ve just got to do a better job on education and outreach.

 

Autism

 

First of all I am for strongly increased research on autism. The number of children in this country affected by autism is just staggering. [1 in every 166 children] Comprehensive and universal access to health care is part of the solution. I fought for increased funding in New Mexico for outreach, education, treatment and awareness. This is something that I have been talking about on the campaign trail everyday and it will be a priority in my administration.

Clinton Attitude – Wait and See!

Posted by Tom Awtry on November 13, 2007

My Beliefs, Life & TimesSome how I was under the misimpression that the candidates in next November’s election were suppose to present the voters (us) with their proposals to resolve the issues facing the American people – Someone’s not playing fair.

While president, Bill Clinton was a man to be admired I felt because he took a stance on the problems presented to his administration and I’d like to think and feel the same towards Senator Hillary Clinton, but I’m finding that a bit difficult to do.

Within the last few days I’ve read two Internet wire service news stories that leave me with the impression that Senator Clinton is playing the “odds”, meaning she’s waiting to see how other Democratic candidates are going to response to the issues in this election, then based on the public’s response; either agree with the solution provided by her fellow candidate, or strongly disagree, she’ll side with whoever is the most popular – her opponent or the “critics”. The old “which ever way the wind is blowing”.

The two media articles I’m referring to are as follows:

Clinton to give trade deals a ‘time out’
MSNBC.com: Politics
Clinton says she’ll go slow on Social Security
MSNBC.com: Politics

Senator Clinton’s same attitude is also reflected concerning her position on the war in Iraq, with a “wait and see” posturing.

On the other hand, my candidate, Governor Bill Richardson is very firm on is position, and has not wavered or altered his stance, since his campaign originated.

Most importantly he’s conducting his campaign “Fairly”, meaning; presenting his proposed solutions to the American people so they may decide if he should be America’s next President. I would like to think that his honesty in conducting his campaign is one of a “Leader”, and not one of a “wait and see” or “time will tell”, follower.

Please consider reviewing a few of Governor Richardson’s stances on the issues facing us as a nation, and how Governor plans to address these problems.

Miles to Go and Mountains to Climb

Posted by Tom Awtry on November 12, 2007

My Beliefs, Life & TimesI just read this in the Los Angeles Times and thought of a video I saw on YouTube and in my mine the two go hand-in-hand. President Bush, I believe to be a sincere man, but I cannot support him because of his policies and members of his administration that I disapprove of. Another man, my candidate for the Presidency, this coming year, is Governor Bill Richardson who is perhaps more of a sincere man than our current president.

The Times article, listed below explains my candidate’s sincerity much better than I could even begin too, please give the article some careful review and consideration. The video, also below, demonstrates what Governor Richardson, I think, really feels in his heart about his fellow Americans.

What separates Governor Richardson from President Bush and is experience, both men are sincere, but the Governor knows how to demonstrate to the world that we Americans are freedom loving people that are fair and just.

 

Divided We Fail Forum: Closing Statement

Gov. Richardson talks about the kind of President he will be.
Added: September 21, 2007

The following is from the Los Angeles Times

Listen up, Iowa: Richardson’s calling

By Louise Roug, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
November 10, 2007

 

VINTON, IOWA — Gov. Bill Richardson ends all his stump speeches with the story of a funeral:

 

After Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death in 1945, the president’s casket was moved by train from Georgia to New York, where he would be buried. Hundreds of thousands of people came out to pay their respects, lining the tracks as the funeral procession moved north. A reporter traveling on the train decided to interview people at one of the stops.

 

Among the crowd of mourners, he saw one particularly distraught man.

 

” ‘You must have known the president?’ the reporter asked. ‘No,’ said the man. ‘But the president knew me.’ ”

 

Richardson pauses for effect.

 

“That,” he says, “is the kind of president I would like to be.”

 

Personal approach

 

It seems, at times, as if Richardson wants to get to know every Iowan in the state.

 

He has traveled thousands of miles, visiting 87 of the state’s 99 counties. With shallow coffers and a long shot at the Democratic nomination for president, he is making a virtue of necessity.

 

He doesn’t have the money for a large staff or extensive advertising, so he has no choice but to keep going from town to town, coffee shop to coffee shop, reaching out to as many Iowans as possible.

 

“I’m glad that Iowa is making the decision, not the pundits in Washington,” the New Mexico governor told a crowd recently. “Iowans like underdogs . . . and I’m kind of counting on that.”

 

Richardson’s support, however, still has not reached double digits.

 

About 8% of likely Democratic caucus-goers say they will support him, according to the latest polls, placing him far behind the three main contenders here: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina.

 

But Richardson likes to point out that there are still many undecided Iowans, and if he finishes as one of the top three, that could be a big boost heading into Western and Southern contests, where he hopes to do well. “Long shots have won,” Richardson said after a weekend of campaigning in eastern Iowa. “There was a long shot named Bill Clinton. There was a long shot named John Kerry. There was a long shot named Jimmy Carter. There’s a long shot named Bill Richardson.”

 

Overqualified?

 

A television ad in Iowa depicts Richardson applying for the job of president.

 

An interviewer, sounding bored, checks off his resume, listing his accomplishments as a member of Congress, overseas negotiator and governor of New Mexico. The punch line: Richardson may actually be overqualified for the job.

 

With humorous ads and a long line of self-deprecating jokes, Richardson has portrayed himself as an average guy, outspent and outnumbered, and somewhat bemused by the Beltway breeding of other candidates.

 

“I don’t have the money, the glamour or the Secret Service — all I got is my Iowa kids,” he said several times over the weekend, referring to his team of young staffers in the state.

 

Speaking about the environment during several campaign stops, he said: “Gore was right,” then cracked an aside: “I just hope he stays out of the race.” With his hands thrust deep in the front pockets of his blue blazer, he rocked back and forth on his heels as he chuckled.

 

Richardson’s ostensible modesty and personable style win over audiences skeptical of candidates with too much polish.

 

Rick Murphy, a 47-year-old financial advisor, said he would probably vote for Richardson should he get the Democratic nomination, even though Murphy usually votes Republican. Murphy said he has been unimpressed by the GOP candidates, and he liked Richardson’s message about diplomacy. Besides, Murphy said, “he’s one of the funniest guys I’ve heard.”

 

“A guy like Richardson does well in Iowa,” said Pat Lyons, 46, a small-business owner who listened to Richardson’s speech in Vinton. “Consensus building — that’s important. We’re fiddling, and Rome is burning.”

 

Though he liked what he heard, Lyons had yet to make up his mind about whom to support. “I’m probably more anti-incumbency than anything. . . . We’ve already had 12 years of the Bush dynasty, and look what happened.”

 

‘Change and experience’

 

Richardson, the only governor in the Democratic race, takes frequent potshots at Congress. “Their approval rating is 11% — worse than Cheney and HMOs,” goes one of his favorite jokes, a sure-fire hit with voters who don’t like any of the three.

 

Richardson is no stranger to Washington, having spent 14 years in Congress and two years as President Clinton’s energy secretary. He also served as the U.N. ambassador under Clinton.

 

His campaign motto suggests that voters can have it both ways: “Change and experience.”

 

Observers have suggested that Richardson himself may be having it both ways by running for president while privately eyeing the vice presidency or the U.S. Senate. He dismissed that speculation.

 

“It’s off the table,” he said of the seat being vacated by longtime Sen. Pete V. Domenici (R-N.M.).

 

However, he could transfer money from the presidential race to a Senate run. The February filing deadline would allow him to jump in should he fall short in the first presidential contests.

 

An older crowd

 

Iowans who attended Richardson’s events complained he sometimes lacked Clinton’s specificity or the sparkle of Obama and Edwards.

 

“The position of the president — in addition to being a manager — is to be a visionary, to be able to articulate a grand vision,” said Robert Melhorn, a minister from Osage who heard Richardson speak at the Maple Inn.

 

“One reason I’m not sold on him as the next president is that he’s not quite as articulate as the others,” said Melhorn, who supports Obama but also likes Edwards.

 

“Soaring rhetoric gets you nowhere,” Richardson said, when asked about the criticism. “Practical accomplishments, managerial talent and the ability to build coalitions are what will make things happen.”

 

Richardson, 59, attracts an older crowd, people his staffers say are more likely to caucus on Jan. 3. He estimated that 15% to 20% of a given audience would pledge to support him after a stump speech. But, at many of the recent events, it didn’t seem like the “Iowa kids” were getting that many pledges.

 

Still, Richardson plowed ahead, shaking many hands, cracking many jokes and staying on schedule.

 

At the Vinton coffee shop, he ended his speech with the FDR story. Outside the Java Alley, several voters said they liked what they heard.

 

“I wouldn’t mind seeing him as the nominee, but he’s an acknowledged long shot,” said Joe Robinson, 61.

 

“Maybe if he talks to enough people . . . ” Robinson said, trailing off.

 

Richardson visited four other cities that day, driving more than 200 miles, often speaking to fewer than 40 people at a stop. After the last event, Richardson and his staff drove to a sports bar in Mason City to eat. But the governor kept working, seemingly unable to stop.

 

After he had shaken hands of the diners near the bar, he headed back to the Holiday Inn where he was spending the night.

 

He had to get up early. He still had miles and miles to go.

Your Choice – Leader or Pleaser

Posted by Tom Awtry on November 11, 2007

My Beliefs, Life & TimesThe war in Iraq has just celebrated its fifth anniversary a few days ago and what I’m hearing from Senators Clinton and Obama is “Wait and See” With all respect that a simple voter can render, “Don’t you think it’s time to step up to plate or take a seat”.

It’s been five years, to me that’s a long time, and I’m fifty-nine years old, don’t you think senators it’s about time you develop a plan, and announce to the public so the voters can see what you’re made of.

It’s easy to sit back and take “Cheap Shots” at the current administration, which I totally disagree with, but I really think if you’re running for the highest office in our beloved country and considered by many citizens of other countries as “a world leader”, you by all means make a stance.

The video below represents leadership:

The Difference on 2013

Iraq

The Richardson Plan for Ending the War
I have a one-point plan on the Iraq War — END IT.

We must get all of our troops out quickly and safely so that a new political process can begin.
Our military presence in Iraq is prolonging the violence, costing us more than $10 billion a month, and distracting us from the war against Al Qaeda. George Bush’s “surge” has failed: this summer was the bloodiest yet, and there’s no end in sight. Our troops have done everything we’ve asked them to do — but they cannot win someone else’s civil war. We need to get them out so that a new political process can begin.

 

There are seven components to my plan to end the war and stabilize Iraq, but the most important step, upon which all others depend, is to remove ALL of our troops quickly.

 

What we need to do:

  • Remove ALL Troops: Only when the Iraqis know we are leaving will they start seeing us as partners, instead of occupiers. A complete withdrawal gives us the leverage we now lack to get the warring factions to compromise, while our presence fuels the insurgency. The Iraqis must take responsibility for their country, and only a complete withdrawal gives them the incentive to kick out al Qaeda and heal their country. Any plan that leaves troops behind will allow the war to drag on, and will cost more American lives.
  • Withdraw as Quickly as Possible: We should start redeploying now. The longer we stay, the more people die, the further the situation deteriorates, and the more damage we do both to our military and to our reputation. Only when we are out of this quagmire can we refocus on the real war against Al Qaeda — the terrorists who attacked us on 9-11, and who are still headquartered along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border — not in Iraq.
  • A Diplomatic Surge: Iraq’s crisis is a political crisis. It cannot be solved militarily. We need a surge of diplomacy to bring Iraq’s factions together, to engage all of Iraq’s neighbors in stabilization, and to put together a coalition of donor nations to aid reconstruction.

How We Do It:

  • De-authorize the War and Fund Redeployment: Last November, the American people voted for the Democrats because they expected them to end the war. Congress should do what it was elected to do, by passing a resolution that de-authorizes the war under Article 1 of the Constitution and the War Powers Act. And they should pass funding only to safely redeploy our troops, not to leave them endlessly in the middle of a civil war. Congress can and should act now to end this war.
  • Remove ALL the troops from Iraq: We must get our troops out of Iraq as quickly and safely as possible. Since the war began, we have rotated up to 240,000 troops into and out of Iraq in as few as 3 months. The logistics and details of a withdrawal must come from our military commanders on the ground. I hope Congress will force President Bush to end this war, but if Congress fails, I will instruct our military leaders to get our troops out as quickly as possible. Steps should include:
  1. Identify the units we can phase out quickly. Support units and their large bases should go first and combat units next.
  2. Identify the equipment we can leave to the Iraqis and the equipment we must bring home.
  3. Move troops and equipment into Kuwait, and to regional bases where we are welcome such as in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
  4. Redeploy troops from these regional bases to Afghanistan and other locations where they can fight actual threats to America. In addition, we should bring as many troops as possible home to start rejoining their families.
  • Lead a Regional and Global Diplomacy: The hard political work begins as our troops start to leave.
  1. We must use the leverage of our withdrawal to bring the factions to the negotiating table.
  2. The United States must lead this effort and involve all of Iraq’s neighbors, including Syria and Iran, in a regional conference modeled on the Dayton conference which ended the war in Bosnia. Key objectives of the conference should be assurances of non-interference and the creation of a multilateral, UN-led Muslim peacekeeping force.
  3. We must also convene a donor conference of wealthy Arab states to fund Iraqi reconstruction. All of Iraq’s neighbors have an interest in preventing Iraq’s civil war from spiraling even further out of control, and they should all play a part in stopping the violence.

What’s Most Important to You – The Voter

Posted by Tom Awtry on November 11, 2007

My Beliefs, Life & TimesToday I was looking over, as usual, what the presidential candidates are saying and have published concerning the country’s economy, which seems to the leading issue among American voters for this next Presidential Election, next November. A recent article that appeared on CNN’s web site was a poll conducted by CNN/Opinion Research Corp., asking the question “what’s most important to you in this next election?” and the largest concern most prospective voters have is our US economy.

Two months ago my candidate, Governor Bill Richardson, presented his plan to correct and revamp our economy and place the middle class workers back in control of their future. During his presentation, as seen in the video below; the problems the Governor spoke of two months ago have worsened, so consider giving his plan a read, the video a see and perhaps casting your vote his way, so we can pull ourselves out of this rut, the present administration has created for us.

Bill Richardson Outlines Plan for American Jobs and Economy

Gov. Bill Richardson announces his plan to protect the middle class and create quality jobs.
August 17, 2007

Jobs and the Economy

Our country faces a great economic challenge. Increasingly, highly-skilled workers across the globe are competing for — and winning — the most desirable jobs available. Many of these workers come from nations with governments that have made the three essential choices that grow economies and create jobs:

  1. They are choosing to invest in the future rather than spending extravagantly on present-day consumption
  2. They are investing in science and technology, and
  3. They are investing in their workers through education and workforce development
  4. I have a plan to meet these challenges by encouraging innovation and expanding economic opportunity.

Restoring Fiscal Discipline to Our Government

 

Under President Bush, our country’s national debt has skyrocketed to a record-breaking $9 trillion, with interest payments on the debt reaching $404 billion last year alone. Our next President must have the discipline to rein in spending so that we may return to the budget surpluses we experienced during the Clinton Administration. As Governor, I consistently demonstrated fiscal responsibility, and as President I will restore America’s financial strength.

 

Investing in Technology and Innovation

 

If America is to retain its leadership in the global marketplace, it must renew its emphasis on science and technology and establish new incentives for innovation. As President, I will achieve this through an aggressive combination of tax credits, Green Jobs programs, and the establishment of 250 Math, Science, and Innovation Academies throughout the country.

 

Investing in and Protecting the American Workforce

 

A highly skilled, well-paid workforce is central to sustained job growth and a healthy economy. Our country must establish a strong foundation of improved education and a workforce development system that’s streamlined and targeted to the needs of the 21st century economy. We will make this happen through tax credits that offer incentives for good-paying jobs in all sectors and regions of the country, including manufacturing and rural areas.

 

The Bottom Line

 

Our nation is more than a piece of land or a set of laws. Our nation embodies the belief that tomorrow can be better than today.

 

Together, we can do this. We can restore fiscal responsibility to our government. We can be the catalyst for innovation. And we can keep America’s promise to its Middle Class workers.

 

A strong economy is the engine of everything that America does and everything we want this country to be. I have the experience and the record of accomplishment to meet the economic challenges we face and to lead our country into the future.
