views the tens of thousands of deaths of human beings each year in this country due to lack of such a system.

I have zero patience with those who refuse to see this as a National Emergency. That is over half a million American deaths, NOT by terrorists, by our refusal to fight for those lives, since 9/11.

Sick to death of all the excuses, the defeatism, the 'we can't do it. What was the slogan in 2088? 'Yes, we CAN'? When did it become 'no we can't on an issues as serious this massive loss of life due to something that is easily fixed?
