| Code Pink Shouts Out Healthcare, Not Warfare! | |
| On Thursday, July 30, 2009, advocates for a Single Payer Healthcare system (Medicare Expanded for All) stormed Capitol HIll, in Washington, D.C. This date marks the 44th birthday of the Medicare program. Taxis circled Capitol Hill with Single Payer signs hanging from their windows; cup cakes and birthday cards were delivered by activists to each Congressional office; and rousing speech making took place at the Upper Senate Park, just south of the U.S. Capitol. Appearing on stage were members of the Code Pink organization, one of this countrys finest activist groups. It has been in the vanguard in the struggle against the illegal and immoral Iraq War and in exposing the serial excesses of the Bush-Cheney Gang. The Code Pink contingent was led by its cofounder, Medea Benjamin. The Code Pink activists shouted out: Healthcare, Not Warfare! They were introduced by activist, Donna Smith. See: http://www.codepinkalert.org/ For background on Single Payer, see: http://www.healthcare-now.org and http://singlepayeraction.org and http://md.pnhp.org and http://www.prosperityagenda.us/ In the House of Representatives, Single Payer advocates are pushing HR 676; and in the U.S. Senate--S 703. | |

| Burma Awaits Suu Kyi Verdict | |
| Lawyers are waiting for a final verdict in the trial of Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi after concluding their final arguments on Tuesday the 28th. This paves the way for a verdict on Friday (July 31) that many expect could see the Nobel laureate jailed for five years for breach of a security law. Security around Rangoon's notorious Insein prison remained tight on Tuesday. Barricades were erected to ensure the entrance to the jail was sealed off as about 50 supporters of Suu Kyi gathered nearby. Court officials say that the trial had been completed, although cases against three other defendants are continuing. Before Tuesday's court proceedings, Suu Kyi's lawyer, Nyan Win, said the prosecution's final arguments were flawed. He also said that the defence's request for an official from Burma's Foreign Ministry to appear in court on Tuesday had been rejected. A guilty verdict is widely expected, where the courts have in the past been known to favor the ruling military junta. Suu Kyi, who is now 64, is on trial for allowing intruder John Yettaw, a U.S. citizen, to stay at her Rangoon home in May, breaking the terms of her house arrest. | |
