London residents riot over cuts in social services
Frustrations in this impoverished neighborhood, as in many others in Britain, has mounted as the government's austerity budget has forced deep cuts in social services.
---The New York Times, Aug. 8, 2011
Last Sunday's riot in London is just the latest of violent demonstrations that has erupted across Britain over the last few weeks.
We don't want such violence to happen here, where the elderly will take to the streets with their canes and in wheelchairs. And we don't need to. We have our elected officials in Congress to fight for our cause. And we shall hold them accountable to that.
So fill out the petition to protect Medicare, and mail to your legislators in Washington. The form is at borromeofaith.blogspot.com. (Our previous posts are also in this website.)
