This is what we should see on the TV "news" instead of bullshit about celebs or petty crime. Our neighbors and their folks need role models to aim for each day.

Fantastic Human Being, living the life as a true Christian, not a bible cherry-picker.

I hope this publicity doesn't cause the DEA to prosecute him.

That says it all. In America, a compassionate Dr. can be imprisoned for helping the neediest among us...

Health care for all...

This is what America used to be like until GREED took over, along with GREED came the rich who think they are entitled to everything and the rest get nothing, but this is changing, but nor fast enough so we need to dig in our heels and do whatever is necessary to take America forward again.
