In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

ACA Fifth Anniversary
Five years ago today, as President Barack Obama was signing ACA into law, I was sitting in the Emergency Room at UF Shands Hospital in Jacksonville, with a detached retina. We are still proud of his accomplishment. That day, several of us "patients" talked about the medical-legal system of profiteering, sharing stories. I was appalled at what I learned. My first boss was Ted Kennedy, who nearly died in a 1964 plane crash that broke his back; EMK made national health care the cause of his long life. We SHALL overcome!
