“I think the arts has great potential to create citizens. Citizenship is about the direction your imagination travels. We can't plan or calculate or examine citizenship; it's an imagined thing. Community is an imagined thing. And if your imagination isn't working - and, of course, in oppressed people that's the first thing that goes - you can't imagine anything better. Once you can imagine something different, something better, then you're on your way.” PeopleIfsThinkingWayFirstsArtDifferentCoursesCommunityImaginationImaginePlansCitizensOppressedCitizenshipSomething Better Author:Lee Maracle
“The right way to deal with healthcare reform is not to have a one-size-fits-all plan that's imposed on all the states, but recognizing the differences between different states' populations, states should be able to craft their own plans to get all their citizens insured, and to make sure that preexisting conditions are covered.” WayShouldDifferentStatesAbleDifferencesDealsPlansConditionsCitizensFitSizePopulationCraftsReformCoveredHealthcareRight WayRecognizingOne Size Fits AllHealthcare Reform Author:Mitt Romney

“Obamacare is the nation's biggest job killer and stands in the way of our country's economic growth and prosperity. It should be defunded and repealed.
