Your Vote Counts Even More Now.

       I admit I don't know a whole lot about Zika. Apparently if a pregnant woman gets bit by a Zika carrying mosquito, her child may very well be born with a severe disability. It seems to have started somewhere in South America and worked its way to here in America. The researchers at the CDC are working hard to find a cure for Zika or eliminate the cause.
       The thing is though, it takes a lot of money to research almost anything. and, the CDC must also work on many other potential health problems. Now there's nothing unusual about needing money to do your job. What is unusual is that, in an election year, the U.S. Congress can't come to agreement on approving the funding the CDC needs to do its job.
       Here we have a very serious health emergency and Congress is fighting over something that has no part in the Zika problem. So it, Congress, won't fund the fight against Zika, so babies will be born with this terrible disability that may well be able to be curable before the babies are born, but not after they're born. So what is it that Congress is fighting about? Defunding Planned Parenthood.
       Imagine that. Defunding an organization who helps women with many health services, including legal abortions, is far more important than funding the fight against Zika now and fighting about Planned Parenthood separately! Just think! You voted for these fools! But in just 54 days you have the very best excuse to vote these fools out!
       The CDC isn't Planned Parenthood! Neither is the CDC connected to Planned Parenthood! They're separate organizations. Zika doesn't care about Planned Parenthood either way. It's just going to destroy the lives of unborn children and their families unless or until the CDC finds a way to stop it. Why can't Congress see that?
