Many of us made our feeling known about National Health Care and it seemed to have worked. The entire Congress from Ted Kennedy to the newest member of the House needs to realize they are all vulnerable. We are not going to put up with the it, we will not live in an totalitarian state, this is still America. Keep it up, it isn't over they will keep coming at us with more and more of the same, the idea of National Health Care is not dead, just pushed back and we need to keep it back.
I read as much of the bill as I possible could put up with, I know why I wasn't a lawyer, most of us hate this stuff and they well know it, but you need to understand for yourself, not just what you are told, no matter how accurate you think the source might be. What becomes obviously clear within a few minutes of reading this piece of crap is there is no way a private company providing health insurance could stay in business which leaves only the public option and eventually a single payer health care system. It is the back door approach, but what else is new?
When you call your representative or any representative, I don't stop at mine own, because I can give to their opponents campaign as well as my own representatives, ask to speak to the Rep, of course that won't be possible, but insist on talking to a staffer not the operator. In some cases they will want to argue with you, to which you say fine that is your opinion, but your job is to transmit my opinion to the Rep. These arguing staffers really give me a problem, I wonder how many calls they ignore because it doesn't fit their feelings. Even moderate Democrats are starting to feel the heat so keep the burner on, your country and the country you leave behind counts on us.
That's all, I haven't posted in a while, fighting a computer issue. I don't find much to talk about that hasn't been said, but keep up the good work, write, email, call and keep it up, if its only 5 or 10 minutes every few days, it will make a difference.
God Bless
