We are all called to care for each other, although some seem to be more committed than others, in fact given the chaos in the world, it almost seems that very few heed the call. Certainly it's evident in the people elected and selected to serve for the greatest good of the people, who spend so much time in silly theatrics, accusations, wasting tax dollars and continuing to ignore the cries of the unhoused, uninsured, and too many more to count. We are to have mercy with those who cause injury, to forgive them and yet, we cry out for mercy on behalf of a hurting nation and world. Marianne, you lead us with love and courage, gives us so much hope. Thank you from the depths of our hearts.

... and the cry went out, throughout the land. Dear Ms Williamson, In a country such as mine; just to the North of yours, this message rings true as well. Universal health-care without an adequate population of health-care professionals is also peril~izing. A well crafted and an all inclusive health-care system must be well run with only the people's welfare as motivation. If it is not then there is nothing to boast about. We can list the countries around the globe that espouse Universal health-care and hold them up as models, and review and acknowledge there are many cracks and down right holes as it now stands. Canada and Britain spring quickly to mind as examples. Thank you for reminding us, your devoted readers, that peace through love can and has been done, and as we are One we shall continue to know this to be true. Namaste ~ Jacquie from Central BC Canada

Poverty is a POLICY CHOICE at the Fed level. I encourage all to read The Deficit Myth by Dr Stephanie Kelton. It's easy to read, NY Times bestseller, and on Audible. Once you see it, you can't unsee it...

It is definitely times of emergencies and crisis. According to World Food Program’s 400 million dollars is needed as more people will starve on our Planet. It’s an emergency alright!

What does the DNC think about these ideas? And if they beg to differ, once again - what are we talking about...exactly?

On a more philosophical note... We certainly can come up with some examples of countries where people seem to have succeeded in building "caring" societies. And we also have very different examples - America being one of those. So I would like to ask another question, "Despite the fact that it's technically one and the same political and economic system, why are the outcomes poles apart?"

Our governmental agencies should be in business to assist it's clients with the tools and skills to live happy, thriving lives - instead of being in the business of creating dependency that keeps people in survival mode. Our government agencies need people to continue getting funding so they don't want them to become self-sufficient and move out of the system - they will lose money if that happens.

I hope you will change the dysfunctional medical system( with record numbers of ill) to a health care system. The teaching of ACIM is that illness is caused by the unhealed unwhole mind.

Would you be brave enough to not follow the crowds, to keep pointing to Self knowledge =Access to true healing .

Illness is not from the 1861 germ hypothesis, an old debunked lie that greatly profits Rockefellers snake oil industry https://theendofcovid.com

All your wants for the people of America to end their suffering , are really for their enlightenment, no other goal will help.

A road to Heaven or Hell( the Status Quo).

Marianne is spot on regarding unnecessary human suffering and the need for charity and just governmental policies. As our nation has surged in population, well, it's unrealistic to think that charity alone can lift up those needing help for the basics of daily living. Good governance can uplift everyone together and that's why I support Williamson for president--she gets it! Her talent is seeing the macro picture as well as having first-hand experience trying to help ameliorate today's challenging societal problems.
