Natalia Cornelio, from activist grassroots lawyer to judge on the bench

by

With a new title, an activist grassroots lawyer is now Judge Natalia Cornelio. The community rewarded a very hardworking community member.

Natalia Cornelio speaks

See full episodes here.

From the very first time I spoke to Natalia Cornelio at KPFT 90.1 FM Houston, I knew she was special. She was a lawyer with a passion for community and the law. After our first interview, it was clear it was not just a facade.

Harris County figured it out as well. They voted this competent lawyer as the judge of Harris County 351st District Court.

Who is Natalia Cornelio?

Judge Cornelio is a proud, bilingual, and Mexican-American attorney with over 13 years of legal experience. While growing up, her parents and many others fought for immigrant workers’ rights, educational opportunities and to help local leaders get elected so that the people would be represented by politicians who had shared experiences with the community. Her parents taught her the value of hard work and the importance of fighting for the right to be recognized and treated with dignity and respect. Cornelio became a lawyer to make a difference and ensure that all communities have equal access to and protect our laws.

Listen to the entire interview. It is well worth it. Visit her website.

The Oligarchy is out in full force. They are scared of the metastasis of the grassroots movement to take back this country. Fear, lies, and misinformation are their tools we must fight to defy.

Why is the American Oligarchy coming out to fight so hard in the Democratic Primary

You must be engaged! We can see the Democratic race is taking form.

And the Oligarchy is reading the tea leaves. Their first attempt at cooption failed. Biden is sinking like a chainless boat anchor. Their next savior is a former Republican Oligarch and his $300 million of advertising so far has bought him double digit success thus far. The question is, what are Progressive going to do to counter the assault on Democracy coming from both sides of the American Political Establishment.

The Oligarchy will not win.

Sanders Applauds New Medicare for All Study: Will Save Americans $450 Billion and Prevent 68,000 Unnecessary Deaths Every Year

“Medicare for All will save Americans $450 billion and prevent 68,000 unnecessary deaths each and every year.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday applauded a new study published today by a team of epidemiologists in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet, which found that Medicare for All will save Americans $450 billion and prevent 68,000 unnecessary deaths each and every year.

“This study confirms that Medicare for All will save the American people $450 billion on health care costs and will prevent 68,000 unnecessary deaths – each and every year,” Sanders said. “In other words, guaranteeing health care as a human right by creating a Medicare for All system will cost substantially less than our current dysfunctional health care system. It will save working class families thousands of dollars and it will prevent tens of thousands of Americans from dying each year. While the CEOs in the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry may not like it, we will end their greed and enact Medicare for All when I am president.”

According to the study, by replacing premiums, deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket costs with a progressive tax system, Medicare for All will save the average family thousands of dollars each year and will provide lower-income households the greatest relief. 

Struggling hospitals serving low-income communities would be particularly helped by Medicare for All by eliminating uncompensated care, increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates to Medicare levels, and reducing administrative overhead, according to the study.

Amnesty International, Plumbers’ union, and corporate abuse of small business. Grassroots Alert!

by

Call: (713) 526-5738 – Facebook LIVE – Live stream: KPFT (Entire USA) Radio Show Date: June 11th, 2019

Today we have two local topics and one national topic. Interestingly, our local ones intersect national issues as well. Change only comes with an activated grassroots, and they are doing an excellent job of it.

You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here

Grassroots activists are what it will take

Today we discuss three topics on very important issues. The first about an Amnesty International event. The second covers the most irresponsible act by the Texas Legislature where plumbing is left unregulated. And the third is the perfect example of how our corporate structure stunts the growth of small business and citizens lifting themselves from their bootstraps.

Sara-LaBeth
Sara LaBeth: Amnesty International

Our first guest is Sara LaBeth. She graduated with a BBS in Management from the University of Houston, Bauer College of Business in 2006. Sara then worked as an ICU Veterinary Technician as Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists for 10 years. She returned to the University of Houston in 2016 to complete a paralegal program from which she graduated valedictorian. Sara has since worked as a paralegal in disability law, working primarily with individuals with Cystic Fibrosis. Sara has been a volunteer with Amnesty International since 2009 and group leader of the Houston group since 2016. 

Rick Lord is the Business Agent of Plumbers Local 68. He is the chair of political education. He is also the President of the Galveston Labor Assembly.

He will be discussing Texas failure to to pass regulations on plumbers.

Keshia Thomas

Our third guest is Keshia Thomas, a Houston activist who was forced out of the restaurant she created in her community, a food desert by what she describes as an unscrupulous corporate owner of scores of businesses around town. We will discuss the intersectionality between laws written for corporations and small businesses and citizens unable to fight on the legal front.

Announcements:

  • Today there will be a deliberative dialogue at Kingwood Christian Church at 3910 West Lake Houston Pkwy, Kingwood, TX 77339

An activated grassroots gets results and here is the proof

The Grassroots is essential

You can also find previous episodes on YouTube here.

 

This morning I wrote a blog post titled “Wealth is devoured at the top while the rest of us create it.” To be clear I sort of ripped off the title from Rutger Bergman’s Guardian article titled  “No, wealth isn’t created at the top. It is merely devoured there.” It is a must read. Most importantly, not only did it get one’s blood boiling, it illustrates the trail ahead for our burgeoning massive grassroots movement.

And today, I have Indivisible TX-02 in the studio. Their leaders will tell us what part they will play in helping right the ship. They will tell us about a special event they are having tomorrow where you can make a difference.

Later on, we will hear from Jerroll Sanders who immediately challenged Donald Trump’s election that made it all the way to the Supreme Court. She will illustrate how any individual can make a difference on the grassroots level and the perils that can occur when grassroots organizations take their eyes off of the ball.

I want to give a shoutout to TaxMarchHouston.com. They want you to know the following. “We are demanding: Trump’s complete taxes, transparency, and accountability from government officials. T-shirts are available now. TaxMarchHouston.com Join us Saturday, April 15th. March alongside our 13-foot Trump chicken at Houston City hall.”

I want to remind our listeners that we are in our Spring Fund Drive. But do not despair, Politics Done Right will be discussing our current politics even as we remind you periodically to call Pledge Central at (713)526-5738.

KPFT 90.1 FM Houston is the only Progressive radio station that covers the entire Southeast Texas. We broadcast Politics Done Right throughout the entire nation with prescient topics via our Facebook Live broadcasts and Podcasts.

Since the election of Donald Trump, many of us have rebranded our (your) station, KPFT 90.1 FM Resistance Radio. We understand that it is up to us to make a difference. We cannot depend on the corporatized mainstream media to tell the stories of the middle-class and the poor. They will not educate the masses because it is anathema to maintaining their preeminent being. And that is where we come in. If we want a better country, if we want better health care, if we want better and affordable schools, if we want worthwhile retirements, then we must ensure that the Progressive media, resistance radio remain viable.

I am asking you that you support KPFT 90.1 FM Resistance Radio today. Join our family and know that you are responsible for turning Texas and the rest of the nation into a humane and Progressive state. Help KPFT 90.1 FM with its $240,000 Spring Fund Dr.

We must keep Resistance Radio on air. Please CONTRIBUTE NOW to support Progressive media. All radio hosts volunteer their time and support. All contributions go directly to KPFT 90.1 FM securely.

Before I get to the program, I want to remind all our listeners that KPFT is a bastion of intelligent voices and programs. As a political activist, my favorites are
