2. Archimedes Movement
You seriously need to check this out. John Kitzhaber is a doctor and was our governor who passed the Oregon Health Plan. It's not perfect for sure, but he is taking what he learned from that experience and trying to apply it to a national movement for health care, and eventually other crises.

3. I was thinking about that the other day.
I really think he could, because it is his passion, just as the environment is Gore's.

4. I hope he keeps pointing out the Class War being waged against the Middle Class
It's NOT just about health care, although that's a big portion of the problem. People need to be educated as to how they are being manipulated and used by Corporations, the Elite owned Media, and the Government cronies.
