Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

Sunday Cur Man

Down's Syndrome is such a big scare
Because it happens everywhere
So clinics should close
Since everyone knows
The greedy need more than their share*


*90% of the cases at one clinic are
attributed to Down's Syndrome but
the GOP won't fund research -  nor
prevention - as all the GOP needs 
is "approved" voters who vote
the party line

Alexis Y. September 28, 2021 at 1:42 AM Hi Rico, I find that sad and angry at the same time. Thanks for sharing this informative write- Alexis Rico Leffanta October 3, 2021 at 5:08 PM Americans currently spend billions drafting, publishing, and distributing booklets explaining how to file a tax return or to obtain Medicare benefits, etc. - costs unknown to other governments with national health and flat tax systems. We could certainly use a government with a sense of values . . . .

Tom Cunningham September 27, 2021 at 11:30 AM If they scaled back on the amount spent on arms they'd have money for all kinds of research. Tom Rico Leffanta September 27, 2021 at 11:59 AM $61-billion dollars for nuclear submarines could certainly fund CONSIDERABLE medical research!

Susan Lawrence September 27, 2021 at 6:32 AM Its hard to believe that we can't get research funded... We need to help these people and so many others. Hugs, Susan Rico Leffanta September 27, 2021 at 11:14 AM The GOP are focused on restricting voting to those who will vote the party line and nothing else is important to them except, of course, campaign donations!

Jan Allison September 26, 2021 at 1:30 PM disgusting state of affairs on so many levels:-( hugs Jan xx Rico Leffanta September 27, 2021 at 11:12 AM I found 90% to be very disturbing, but it seems most Americans don't consider it to be their problem . . . .
