My Friends I am using the Cover art of My Group and Page on Facebook to illustrate a point ! 2016 Is a year of huge change possibly in America ! For the Good or Bad depending upon You !

We have Lots of Issues We Face…,.. #BlackLivesMatter #StopVoterSuppression #gunsense #PoorLivesMatter #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #FightFor15 and of course #ExpandMedicaidNow !  Now Is Not The time for apathy ! We had HOPE IN 2014 ! But many of you stayed home You didn’t Vote and you were not engaged at All !

As a result bad things happened politically and in Society ! But good came out of bad as a new movement in #CivilRights was born due to police misconduct in several places ! …….As a result #BlackLivesMatter came into existence ! Their goal stop hate and Police Brutalty ! They hopefully set a tone for 2016 and beyond that things must change For All Americans !

We face #ClimateChange deniers who will leave us with bad air and water and polluted soil ! Many struggle in low wage jobs and #FightFor15 ! But change came there too as marches were held and rallies outside the Fast Food and Big Box retailers ! Another agent of Good and Change !

And yes Rumor has it my State Fl may do A Ballot Initiative to #ExpandMedicaidNow helping myself Amy and Gen Rodriquez and 1 Million Fl residents.to have Healthcare ! And if it happens We need you All to be involved ! Many will try to smear and misinform ! But We must can will and shall be ready ! With Truth and Facts !

You see If I personally didn’t get involved I would be in a worse mess ! Because If I didn’t get involoved I would be condoning the denial of Medicaid to those who need it besides me  !  Sometimes You Can’t Wait For Others To Fight For You ! You Must Do It Yourself !  That is what I did I started it was  just me and a petition soon doors opened up ! And today I am writing this blog ! But I cared I didn’t want others to suffer like I did ! So We ZThe Unisured Of Fl next Year need You To Get Out And Vote ! If this becomes a Ballot Initiative ! To many of us It Really Is Life and Death ! Ours to be exact !

So I say to All of you Please stop being spectators ! Vote in 2016 ! Get Involved in helping your Communities Cities States and Nation ! We need involvement in 2016 and people who are informed ! Many on the front lines for change need You ! Pick a cause issue or candidate just please don’t stay home and watch and complain when things go bad ! Do Something About It ! Because if you Are  As my Meme says :”PLUGGED IN ”  then you can be a part of a movement to better Our Comunities, Our Cities , Our States Our Nation and World ! …….And That must be our goal a better society a kind decent humane one ! And That is Our Hope in 2016 !

Thank You God Bless

My friends I fight daily to #ExpandMedicaidNow ! But the stuff that comes out of the mouths of the GOP on this just is something else ! Sometimes I Scream at my TV PHONE OR TABLET ! The Language isn’t pretty but sad to say when it comes to Clueless and Heartless GOP POLITICIANS AND LOBBYISTS ITS DESERVED !! We have a contrast of ideas and styles big time on The Liberal DEMOCRATS side Presidents Obama Kennedy Candidates Clinton Sanders and on the REPUBLICAN side Governor Rick Scott of Fl and GOP FRONT RUNNER DONALD TRUMP

Today on MSNBC SHOW MORNING JOE – I heard the P.T.Barnum of The GOP Frontrunner Donald Trump claim he is symathathetic with the Uninsured ! His suggestion was to end the ACA and use Hospitals to treat the Uninsured !

Sound Familiar All ? Well it should A certain Governor named Rick Scott says the same thing !

Memo To Mr Trump and Gov Scott : It doesn’t Work ! The Hospitals are over run by the Uninsured like myself !  Many of the Public ones are on the brink of bankruptcy !

Bankruptcy An Issue I know You Are An Expert in Donald Trump ! Yes see The Town I was born in Atlantic City New Jersey ! The town now on the verge of Bankruptcy ! Because of Great Businessmen like Donald Trump !

OUR HEALTH AND VERY LIVES are not like A CASINO Mr Trump ! Yes a company can go bankrupt and close – which actually causes job losses and Yes A Loss in Healthcare Insurance ! Causing those who had insurance to go to A Public Hosoital System ! Which If Bankrupt can not treat you because it is closed and you will get sick suffer and die possibly ! Great Plan Mr Trump and Gov Scott ! Ask the family of Charlene Dill how that plan would have kept  her alive ? Ask Amy Rodriquez Gen Rodriquez or myself or 1 of The 1 Million Uninsured in Fl how that can save us ?

Hospitals Mr Trump are for people who are Critically ILL – YOU KNOW HEART ATTACKS STROKE CANCER ACCIDENT TRAUMA VICTIMS ASTHMA – THAT IS WHO A HOSPITAL HELPS !
Under Your system We can not see specialists or even have a Primary Care Physician !

I posted the picture of the Real Champions of Healthcare President John Fitzgearld Kennedy and  President Barak Hussein Obama to illustrate a difference ! Both of these men had actual Healthcare plans President Kennedy What was to become Medicare Medicaid and President Obama The ACA Affordable Care Act ! Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders support the ACA and want to imporve it or go to Single Payer ! Mr Trump Gov Scott and the GOP want No Healthcare as We Know it !

Yes the current system is not perfect but with the ACA it will get better ! I hope we can add a provision where all Medical Providers accept all Insurance Plans ! And I really Hope #ExpandMedicaidNow Happens ! But if we keep listening to Gov Scott or Mr Trump – disaster will follow ! Those who have a plan are Wise !  Those who say they have a Plan and don’t – Are Foolish ! So the choice is yours with Healthcare listen to the Wise and Live or The Fools and Die ! I would Fire The Fools All !
Thank you God Bless

My Friends you have read about My Friends Amy Rodriquez and her Daughter Genesis Gen Rodriquez as We all are in the Medicaid Expansion Gap ! Genesis is on the Left and Her couragous Mom Amy is on the right !
It should never have to come to this ! ….Yes I said this before and if it keeps going like this I may have to again ! We who are stuck In The Medicaid Expansion Gap are literally in some cases fighting for our lives ! In Gen Rodriguez case it is true !
Gen Rodriquez has a respiratory disorder called *** Middle Lobe Syndrome ! She lost 40 Percent of her lung when she was 17 ! This is very serious , she has had repeated bouts of pneumonia asthma and coughing fits ! ***Seource Miami Hearld Article Aoril 17,2015 by Daniel Chang
Now personally as an Uninsured Asthmatic I can relate ! Gen uses cough syrup to supress the cough ! Why she is 20 eligible for Medicaid and like myself Fl will. Not #ExpandMedicaidNow !
This is insane in 2015 to have to beg for healthcare ! If We All were insured We Wouldn’t Have to Worry If Each breath We Take is our last one on earth !
Amy Rodriguez is a Warrior like me for #ExpandMedicaidNow ! She pulls no punches ! She literally is in the battle of her life to keep her 20 year old daughter alive and well ! She has met with any elected oficial and Activist Group who will listen and Has been to Tallahasse several times but to no avail ! Because Gen can not get Healthcare Amy is trying to do Fundraisers for her ! This is a beautiful act of Love but in 2015 shouldn’t have to happen !
Gen Rodriguez is 20 years old ! She deserves the dignity of having healthcare and growing old and dreaming dreams and seeing them happen ! Not having to worry or have her Mom who also is Uninsured worry too !
I wrote about a fundraiser for a victim of Violent crime in my blog No Reason For This We Need Medicaid Expansion ! Which can be found on this site ! But why in 2015 does a Mom who worked hard all her life and loves her child have to beg for care ? Why People of Fl ? Why All in America ? Do We Not realize it is 2015 Not 1815 ! Can’t we as a society move past past Petty Partisanship do the right thing and Save Lives and #ExpandMedicaidNow ? Its your choice Let We The Uninsured suffer or heal us ? Thank You God Bless

My Friends as you know the cause of #ExpandMedicaidNow is my passion ! My dad says its “My Crusade”  ! Not quite but close !  But I have a question for the now 18 States still doing nothing ? How long must We The Uninsured Wait ? How many of us must get sick and die before you get it ?

In Alaska Their Governor Gets it ! He decided to #ExpandMedicaidNow even without his Legislature ! Utah who has rejected Expansion now is talking and also is close to Expanding Medicaid !

So now We are down to 18 States ! Mine Fl still playing games ! We had a Plan but the State House and Governor PLAYED POLITICS AND  PUNTED ! Leaving 1 Million People in The Sunshine State still uninsured and In the darkness not the light ! Including myself depending on A County Clinic Program that may not be funded or could one day run out of money ! Others like. Amy Rodriquez a hard working Mom fighting like craxy not just for herself but her 20 year old daughter Genesis Rodriquez who has Respiratory Problems !

I can relate to both Amy and Genesis Rodriguez I too have Asthma snd am uninsured ! How much debt do we the Uninsured have to incur ? Not all In this Medicaid Expansion Gap have cash to buy medicine ! If it wasn’t for my dad helping me – I would have probably died years ago !
It costs approximately $600.00 a year for my asthma medicine ! That also does not count seeing a Doctor ! Yes I have to pay labs X Rays and Co Pays of $40.00 ! This is not Cheap at All if you have no income or little money !

This is why with the ACA costs wil be lower IF MORE ARE INSURED ! My State Representative Barbara Watson (D)  Fl House District 107 and State Senator Oscar Braynon (D) Fl recently visiited my Community at a Luncheon. Both stresed We need more Community Involvement in Fl to #ExpandMedicaidNow !  I spoke and told them my story ! But at the end of the day both of them are right ! We need not just community involvement Statewide Involvement but Nation Wide Involvement !  So I ask all of you who read this how long must WE THE UNINSURED WAIT ? How Many must die needlessly like Charlene Dill did ? How many who are sick may get sicker and potentially die ? How many needing Mental Health treatment must suffer ? We must get this done !

IF We Can Go To War And Find Money To Pay For It …Then There Is No Excuse Not To Make Sure All Americans Have The Dignity of Healthcare !  – That is my thought on this as an Uninsured Person ! Money should be No Object when it comes to your health or the Health and Walfare of your fellow citizens !

I hope you all think about this and Get It ! This is Urgent and a problem many can not wait forever to see fixed !  So Please take action and help us We The Uninsured to #ExpandMedicaidNow ! Thank you God Bless

My Friends I posted my picture to show How my cause of #ExpandMedicaidNow is a Human one ! We are not merely numbers of 1 Million Uninsured but actual living breathing people !  We The Uninsured in Fl are being ignored when our lives are at stake !

Yes I do have a Jackson Health Systems Card for Clinics and Hospitals in Miami Dade County only ! If I go to New Jersey to visit famiky or any place else in Fl – I am 100% Uninsured ! This system is NOT INSURANCE ! It is meant for ER visits not Total Healthcare ! The funds come from LIP (LOW IMCOME POOL ) FEDERAL DOLLARS ! This will sunset next year !

But Governor Scott in his idelogical ignorance still insisting this is Healthcare ! Sorry Governor it isn’t ! Can you use it out of state or in All 67 Counties ? No you can’t ! Healthcare through the ACA and Medicaid Expansion you can use anywhere in America ! Unlike myself and 1 million others placed in Limbo yearly by a clueless Governor !  The funds for LIP will be over next year ! Then What our hospitals close ? Many die needlessly like Charlene Dill did ? Amy and Gen Rodriquez myself and 1 Million others sit and suffer in silence ? To die needlessly !
ALL KNOWING THIS KNOW THIS PLEASE : I WILL CONTINUE TO ACT AS A VOICE AND FACE ON THIS – As A Voice For The Voiceless – We The Uninsured In Fl Until All in Not Just Florida But The entire Nation  Have Healthcare !

If We Can Find The Money to Start A War ! …..We Can Find The Money to Insure All Americans be it with #ExpandMedicaidNow #MedicaidExpansion #ACA #SinglePayer !  No excuses !

I hope that many who are uninsured will post photos of themselves as MEMES to raise awareness as I did ! I encourage you to do this !

I also can be found on Facebook Fred Christian and in the pages Expand Medicaid Now People Need Help Issues We Face and Please Sign my petition to Expand Medicaid in Fl plus the Facebook groups Expand Medicaid Now Issues We Face and I tweet @FredChristian10 and the #ExpandMedicaidNow on Twitter and Facebook

My Friends as many of you know I am a Social Media Activist ! I am on Facebook have Four Pages I created or co created called People Suffering Due to Republicans Refusal to Expand Medicaid , Expand Medicaid Now People Need Help , ISSUES WE FACE , and Please sign my Petition to Help Expand Medicaid in Fl ! Plus two groups Expand Medicaid Now and Issues We Face on Facebook.  I tweet @FredChristian10 am on Google+ Instagram and I blog here and
; Tumblr too And I created the #ExpandMedicaidNow too !

Why do I do this and what is it I do I have been asked ? Well as I have blogged before I am uninsured in Fl. I need Medicaid my Governor wouldn’t Expand It !  The closest i ever came to Activism was 4 letters to the editor of The Ocala Star Banner ; After I watched MSNBC civer the 50 th Anniversary of the MLK “I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH ,”  I answered their question what would I do to advance the dream ? I said Be A Voice For The Voiceless like MLK was ! He is as is JFK BOBBY BILL CLINTON AND PRESIDENT OBAMA HEROES and Inspiration to me ! I was into civil rights in college and wanted to help others ! So on Sept 16 2013 It happened I I was in Church Calvary Chapel Hollywood Fl the Pastor challenged us as Christians to be involved in Government ! I came home and found a Move on Petition and started one to Expand Medicaid !

Now this was not easy for me in the beginning I didn’t really trust Social Media ! I heard the good and bad and was a skeptic ! I joined Facebook and twitter but only posted about sports and to @edshow ! Little did I realize those tweets on Local Government closing libraries and Fire Houses plus the 4 letters to the editor were preparing me for a great journey ! I had eye problems I can’t take pictures ! But I eas determined to be A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS in Society ! There is a Million Uninsured In Fl – I was to be their voice and Face ! My goal talk to all who will listen !

The petition was grueling I thought No Problem I can get a million signers ! But for 2 months I got 14 ! Then I did an interview with The Miami Hearld ! It was a break ! But stll No signers ! So I joined Facebook groups got more signers was still tweeting and posting edshow ! I made mistakes locked myself out of my twitter acct ! Got back on and things began to work ! I had success messaging and promoting my cause ! But got only 2000 plus signers ! And it failed !  Along the way I formed the Facebook groups and pages I mentioned above ! I met alot of great peoole too ! Plus grew and helped on Gun Control ! And fought racists ! I have been harassed on Twitter by Trolls and had my life Threatened ! But We #TrollBusters have a policy of List Block Report ! I even have had my profile pic doctored with nasty memes ! But still  go on ….Why ? To help the 1 Million Uninsured in Fl and America ! My dad called it My Crusade ! …. I do not know about that but how many people can say they helped a Million people ? That is my goal that’s why I do this ! Not Fame as a friend predicts I will have ! I started writing posts and soon became a blogger to improve my message ! I am even in a film by fellow activist Called Entitled to Life Fl – Comming soon !
I have alot of respect for the Activists who take to the streets and do it peacefully ! How do they know where to go and what to say ? Social Media ! They tweet and post  about #Racism #Poverty #BlackLivesMatter #FightFor15 #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Homelessness #Veterans #Poverty #SinglePayer and my cause #ExpandMedicaidNow !  They use this to spread awareness ! It is a great Forum and could win elections soon ! I respect All who do this by doing so All Are : VOICES FOR THE VOICELESS ! As I try to be !  We are Unsung Heroes trying to right wrongs day and night ! And are a special group on Social Media old young middle aged all races and classes working for the betterment of America ! I challenge all out there if I can do this you can too ! I Love Ehat i do ! All out there Find a cause and participate and be A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS ! We need You ! Thank you All my fellow activists on Social Media I love working with you ! I have a purpose greater than myself and that is as We All Do : BEING A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS ! That is a great reward ! Thank you God Bless

My Friends My last blog focused on the soon to be cancellation of The Ed Show – With Ed Schultz ! But we have a choice with this do nothing and keep the status quo or move Forward ! Ed ket ordinary Americans like myself let our voices be heard with Facebook and Twitter on air !
It was a great Forum for #ExpandMedicaidNow ! That is why I posted our logo here today !  I even helped my friends out and got a tweet with #StopVoterSuppression on air too !

My point being is that the landscape with media is changing constantky ! It used to be if on TV or Newspaper Radio covered an issue or event progress and change Followed soon after !
But Now MSM (MAIN STREAM MEDIA ) Miss many stories of actual people needing help ! For example When #MedicaidExpansion was debated in the Fl House few knew about it ! It was denied leaving myself Amy Rodriquez Gen Rodriquez and 1 million in Florida still in peril ! We needed a huge push on this ! America needs to understand our plight but National Media ignored it focusing on Trade issues !

Local Media can only do so much given the fact that their purpose is to tell you about the Fire Flood Shooting Breaking Weather ! And many in Local News Media are kind to me and it is appreciated !

So Our Challege is to #BeTheMedia and #GetInvolved ! You can not get enough information because so much is happening so fast ! Social Media is Here it has truly arrived as an agent of change ! We saw it at #NetRoots with #BlackLivesMatter as they forced a discussion on raciscm !

This was a start but we need You America and All Globally Involved to start to impact Positive Social Change ! Use Social Media take pictures share it with local news ! Be involved don’t wait for others do it yourself ! Use Facebook Twitter Instagram Vine Google+ Tumblr and WordPres and Blog tweet and Post ! Film and Post to YOU TUBE ! 

Lots of causes need you #ExpandMedicaidNow #ExpandMedicaid #ACA #SinglePayer #CloseTheGap #Healthcare #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Poverty #RaiseTheWage #FastFood #FightFor15  #BlackLivesMatter #StopVoterSuppression #CivilRights #HumanRights  #PoorLivesMatter #gunsense #GunControl #SafeFood #SafeWater #Immigration #SaveOurSchools #DisabledRights #AnimalRights #SaveMedicare #SaveSocialSecurity #AffordableHousing #Homelessness #Hunger #SupportOurTroops #Veterans
Plus you could volunteer on a Political Campaign help your kids schools to be better by being involved in PTA or attend School Board Meetings ! Attend City and County Commision meetings ! Write letters to the editor of your neespaoer ! Volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue organization ! I volunteer at 3 Churches ! By doing so you meet others and help others too ! Or at a food Pantry too !

The edshow was great but there is a lot of work to be done in America !  !t shows by many not being able to Vote ! Not All having access to quality affordable Healthcare  ! Not all getting paid enough to live on ! Not all having and getting Justice and Dignity ! We have alot to do in our nation and world ! But especially at home !
So As Ed Schultz says : “Lets Get To Work !” 

The choice is yours be active or watch our world and Nation go potentially in a bad direction ! We can not always wait for oters to help us ! I didn’t and Founed #ExpandMedicaidNow and 4 Facebook pages called people suffering due to republicans refusal to Expand Medicaid  Expand Medicaid Now People Need Help Issues We Face please sign my petition to help Expand Medicaid in Fl ! Plus two groups Issues We Face and Expand Medicaid Now ! Plus I tweet @FredChristian10  and blog ! I got ivolved because I always wanted to help others ! And If We work hard at our cause We get Media attention and Positive Resukts ! That is what we need more of Helping Others In need ! Thank You God Bless !

My Friends if you didn’t hear it yet I have some sad News today ! On Thursday July 23 2015 MSNBC Announced the cancellation of my favorite Political Show ! The Ed Show with host Ed Schultz !

This is a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT TO WE IN THE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE COMMUNITY ! Ed was our voice and champion ! Being an Activist who was blessed ,lucky f,ortunate,  and priveledged to have my tweets and posts aired I said Now What ?

My goal was to talk to Ed about being Uninsured in Fl ! I am one of one million in Fl ! To raise awareness to #ExpandMedicaidNow and the plight of the uninsured like myself Amy and Gen Rodriquez .  I am disappointed. 

I say this to Phil Griifin head of Programming at MSNBC : Who is the VOICE of The Fast Food Worker Union Member Teacher Enviormentalist and Healthcare Advocate on your network Sir ? Ed was that for the poor workers sick disgusted and disabled !  Who speaks for Us ?

I remember a tweet I had it was one of the first that made air :”My Governor Rick Scott doesn’t care if I have healthcare !”
And getting :” #ExpandMedicaidNow ”  on air too ! I was thrilled but I had alot of support from many in the @edshow #edshow #Teamedshow communities ! I would try to get on air and I finally did ! Edshoe  was not just a forum for me to raise awareness on Medicaid Expansion but on Local issues such as Miami Dade County where I live cutting Fire Service and closing Libraries in 2013 ! I did this on Twitter @FredChristian10 and before @FredChristisn3 too ! Plus on Facebook at Fred Christian. Ed answered 3 questions I had too !

So Mr Griffin how do you replace such a great forum ?  You can’t ! It gave ordinary Americans like me a voice in things promoting issues and causes many in MSM (Main Stream Media ) ignore . Please Mr Griffin there is a need for the edshow ! I understand I was a Communications Graduate  myself ! All about ratings and the business side of things ! But edshow was special it gave ordinary Americans a Voice in things ! And had one of the best Voices for the Middle Class and Workers – Ed Schultz host it !  You can not fill that void ! We the middle class and poor need more Voices For The Voiceless ! Not less on TV and other Media !

So my final thoughts are that if no @edshow We must : BE THE MEDIA if the Media ignore us and our causes of #ExpandMedicaidNow #BlackLivesMatter #AllLivesMatter #PoorLivesMatter #Poverty #RaiseTheWage #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #UrbanRenewal #FastFood #FightFor15  #StopTheHateBeforeItStopsUs #StopVoterSuppression #VoteBlue
#GoonsDoNotBelongInLawEnforcement !  We on Social Media must promote #Truth #Justice and #Peace ! We now are : THE VOICES FOR THE VOICELESS ! ”
I want to say Thank you to All at @edshow #edshow  #Teamefshow my friends I am privileged to have met you all ! A special Thank you to the man himself Mr Ed Schultz who I may not meet but am blessed to have had fight for me as an Uninsured Person !  Ed you are our champion and A Voice For The Voiceless ! – I Thank you We The Uninsured Thank you and #ExpandMedicaidNow Thanks you for all you do for We The Workers and Middle Class in America !

The MEME FEATURED WAS DONE BY Fellow #edshow #Teamefshow member Wallace Ingalls @VoteBlueCrew ! – Thank you my friend I appreciate it !

Thank you All God Bless
