Memo to the citizens of Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District: please stay on top of this man's voting record.

Despite U.S. Threats, Voters Return Sandinistas To Power Steven Argue 2006-11-14 1:53 AM

The Sandinista revolution, upon coming to power in 1979, confiscated the land that had been held by the Somoza family and some of his closet cronies and redistributed it to the poor that worked it partly through establishing collectively run state farms. The Sandinistas also made literacy and healthcare a priority. Easily treated diseases that Somoza let kill and maim, such as polio, were vaccinated against and eliminated. Teaching everyone to read and write became a priority in the country where Somoza once declared he wanted “… uneducated people, little more than beasts of burden.” (image/jpeg + 2 comments)
