PRIDE IN WHAT? A STATE where the Democratic Party lies to labor and patients so as the STaet profits off the systemic patient abuse in our health care? I Have no PRIDE in our PARTY or ITS LEADERS that remain SILENT while others are abused after being harmed or injured on our jobs, no matter our walk in life. Workers comp is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ABUSER. We have had one candidate call it a GENOCIDE. YET NO ONE WILL HELP OUR Minority group. We are Americas largest minority group, that includes all the other minority groups in our fight, yet all the groups shun our fight. Hmmm? I have NO PRIDE in a PARTY that does not REPRESENT US ALL. #IWsMatter2 Why can't our progressive and Democratic Party leaders get HONEST WITH US ALL? Should not ALL LIVES MATTER? Even the injured workers? Just saying, its hard to have pride in a party that does not represent us all. And wilfully remains SILENT while others are put through a living HELL! Injured workers being harmed and oppressed? We just cant HONEST about that. THIS IS WHY OUR PARTY IS FAILING AMERICAS INJURED WORKERS. INTENTLY at this point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1cuq5X_0MU&t=54s

Why cant my party represent all of us? www.youtube.com/watch?v=xglZEDznGxs&t=9s

#DoYouCare REALLY? #IWsLivesMatter2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuVngJcfLnY

PRIDE? I used to have that, but it's running thin these days. When folks what my party to help some of us, while shunning others.

You all just keep on telling me to vote for folks who would COST SHIFT the injured workers rather than HONOR our GRAND BARGAIN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ7E4XicFaI

ITS BEEN 3 Years now. Where are the min. fed. standards? WHY the Our Revolution Washington Berniecrats Coalition folks and the UP hill progressive media folks tell us all our leaders just CAN NOT GET HONEST ABOUT THAT NOR PUT it as an ISSUE on the TABLE. WTF? NO wonder why have AGNRY INJURED WORKER/Patients/VICTIMS out there. This is a class war between the top and the bottom. I WILL TAKE IT AS A HUMAN no more. www.propublica.org/article/lawmakers-call-for-more-oversight-of-workers-comp

Where is all the brotherly love from our LBGT community while others lives are being destroyed by men with pens on sniffs and grins? PRIDE? I used to have that before I found out my own party does not care about the lives of injured workers. That why the injured workers/Patients/Victims become ANGRY at EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. Where is the party as HUMAN lives are being destroyed, and the elite profit off the downward spiral of the work comp and State med tort law victims? What do the VICTIMS have to do to get our Democratic Party to help us? I have bared my heart and soul and grief with my brothers and sisters, only to have them SHUNN me and MY PEOPLE.

Congressman Smith..i have voted for you over several campaigns but i want to hear you anger at this injustice the WH is inflicting on those crossing the border!!

Congratulations!

How about some representation? What are you doing about families at the border?

Hi Martha Elena Maginniss and Nicholas Kasovac , I, along with many of colleagues in Congress, are doing everything we can to stop this outrageous injustice. I am an original cosponsor of the Keep Families Together Act and have also signed onto HR 5950, the HELP Separated Children Act, HR 2043, the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, and HR 858, the Dreamers, Immigrants, and Refugees Legal Aid Act. I have also sent a letter to Attorney General Sessions, Homeland Security Secretary Nielson, and Health and Human Services Secretary Azar expressing my serious concerns about the cruelty of detaining asylum seekers and separating them from their children. I joined Governor Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and other members of the Washington state delegation at a press conference and rally outside the detention center in SeaTac to bring attention to this important issue. Today, I also joined my Democratic colleagues on the steps of the Capitol to protest President Trump's actions. Thank you for reaching out.

Thank you for responding. It's greatly appreciated.

You’re the best! A real servant to the people.

You are a compassionate, strong leader...thank you!
