LeapforPatientSafety 23 Citizens for Medical Safety
We fight because our government has failed to protect us. Our healthcare system is crumbling and dangerous. And so we are angry.
As children growing up we pledge allegiance to the flag and learn about our inalienable rights. And so we are angry when as adults we learn through personal experience that America is descending into a place of lies, cover-ups, and civil and human rights violations.
Our anger festers when we learn that our Courts are corrupt and subvert and manipulate the Law. The victim's place is a terrible place to dwell.
And since anger is good, we know it will create change.
