A New Invisible Enemy
Written by editor   

We have yet another invisible enemy.  This gruesome enemy has no regard for women’s rights.  It doesn’t understand the meaning of democracy.   It is an enemy, and it demands our immediate legislative attention.  We must rally behind our government and fight….. cancer! 

 
First Blog Post

This is my first post with ActualPolitics and I wanted to start off with something really juicy. 

America’s Health Insurance Plans is a group which exists for one reason: to protect the Health Care cartel.   The AHIP is mounting an attack on the Democrats of Congress by ‘educating’ and ‘recruiting’ people.   What’s the cause?  “Status Quo!”
