AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce People are disenfranchised with Democratic government, it’s slow & cumbersome to reach consensus on issues that are important. However, the French have no choice, other than Macron. Hold him to promises made and don’t vote for Putin, autocracy, fear and isolation. Don’t vote for LePen. LePen will tell you what you want to hear and then destroy France and the concept of the EU. #NoLePen!!!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Putin is destabilizing European Politics and American politics. The Cold War never ended for Putin. He’s on a personal quest for power. Macron is the only choice for France, yet Putin’s machine has recreated LePen. She speaks differently, but she’s still bought and paid for by Putin. Ditto for Donald Trump, he may say what some want to hear& he, too, is funded by Putin. Trump had no problem hiding the virulence of Covid, weaponizing protection and likely causing extra deaths. The people who staff our restaurants and supply chains were the first to die. Never forget, the takers of Putin’s largesse seek money and power for themselves and not for “We the People “. You want to speak Truth to Power, don’t elect anyone who follows Putin. Putin lives in the feudal past,he seeks conquests , his milk is oil and the people ofRussia and the World be damned.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Michigan is using Federal Pandemic money , to fund Public Health Care in underserved rural communities. They’re starting in Landing and building a new Clinic to be available by Spring. This is a good use of money Healthcare, violence and abuse reduction. Covid relief funds can build schools, infrastructure, WiFi connectivity and better disposal of waste. Use the money for “ we the People “. Every State got funds, where was it allocated in your State? Don’t let Political Gridlock prevent , cities and towns from improving their infrastructure. Sue individual Legislators for improper use of Finds. Federal Funding was meant to improve every citizens life!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unionize all airport workers $2-8/hr is not a living wage. Get a Union and get healthcare, vacation pay, benefits and a pension. The Dallas workers , can consult the folks in Amazon Staten Island for advice. Strike , if necessary. Be determined. Unionization is the way out of poverty and monetary insecurity. Do it for yourselves and families.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As War continues in Ukraine , the World can’t forget we have a climate crisis to deal with. As TRUMPSGOP want to increase drilling for oil, the IPCC warns we must implement steps now, to maintain a Global temperature of a 1.5 degree Celsius rise. Right now, 5.7 million People in America must leave their homes for higher ground. In Houston, those living on the Bayous are being bought out of their homes and moved to new communities. As the sea levels rise 13 million Americans will be migrating across the Country to drier safer land. Let’s assure we’ve preserved water for them to drink and live. Our World must end the War in Ukraine quickly so we can concentrate on Climate Change & Covid.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The poor , in rural and urban communities, are more likely to get Covid and die. It doesn’t matter , if you’re poor white in West Virginia or poor Black and Brown minorities in Harlem, your chances of sieving Covid are 50% less than that of the General Population. Covid has indiscriminately effected everyone, however, the poor were especially targeted because in most cases they lacked access to healthcare as well. Frontline workers, never got time off? As America approaches 1 million deaths from Covid. We should be reviewing our Social Safety Net and our ability to apply healthcare to everyone and human benefits of time off for sickness. Every life is precious. Make sure , while we send Vaccines, abroad, we have enough for kids and others in our own population. A healthy society, is a productive society.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce The Ukrainian War and why it’s a Global responsibility. Poverty, food insecurity and fertilizer shortages will push more Middle Eastern and African countries into destabilizing conditions. People will starve. 80 million refugees are in diaspora now. That number will increase. It’s to everyone best interpret to pressure Putin for Peace. The Sony, the better. Putin has spent almost $700 Billion on his War. The reconstruction will be paid from Russian assets seizure. The money could have lifted the Russian economy instead! This is a crime against all humanity. Seek Peace!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Putin’s alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church bring back memories of Stalin & the Holy Wars of the mid evil Church. They live to stamp out self expression & now HIV. They can rationalize The Ukrainian War to themselves and the Russian people. In reality, there’s nothing noble about Genocide. I wouldn’t trust Putin’s phase ll.
