My wife and I have struggled financially for years. We are doing better now and I hope you will also.

Health care is a human right.

Living in a liberal democracy, rather than an oligarchy, is a human right.

Decent housing is a human right.

Living a decent life, despite disability, is a human right.

Living on a planet not being destroyed by casino capitalism is a human right.

I don't see anyway to establish basic human rights without overthrowing oligarchy and putting Bernie in the White House.

You have inspired me to work harder for that. Thank you.
