Editorial:
Often times when discussing health care in the United States we would often hear the lament ‘why can’t the US provide health care for all their people?’ Naturally comparisons would be drawn with other countries that do provide health care for all their citizens. This past Tuesday when President Obama signed the historic health care reform legislation, the United States took a giant step towards answering this question positively.
<p></p>
<p>President Obama needs to maintain his forceful, proactive leadership approach that he only too recently has adopted.</p>
<p>It took him more than a year to discard the fantasy of bipartisanship on health care reform, even though the Republicans obstructed him every step of the way and showed no interest in meaningful compromise. Their goal, all along, has been to make him fail.</p>
<p>Finally, he’s woken up to this reality.</p>
<p> <strong></strong></p>
<p>It took the killing of two US citizens employed by the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez to elicit President Obama’s comment “….deeply saddened and outraged by the news of the brutal murders…” According to the Los Angeles Times, there have been 10,031 killings in Mexico since 2007 related to the war against organized drug cartels, which at no time has brought signs of sadness or outrage from the White House, be it from Obama or his predecessor. Are Mexican citizens’ deaths any less deserving of sadness and outrage?</p>

The very personal work of local artist, Jesimiel Rivera, will be on show and for purchase from April 2 to May 7 at the Next Door Gallery in Golden Hill.
Rivera, who titled the show ‘No drawing, get to work’ gets a lot of inspiration from real life experiences. “I transfer my memories, grief, spirituality, poetry and simplicity to the surface of canvas and paper,” says Rivera. “Basically I use familiar imagery of my past to coexist with the present ideas, therefore creating new middle ground of image for the viewer to decipher.”
