We need to slow down on health care reform. It’s going to cost far more than they have let on thus far and I do not like rationing….I’m old and I’d be the first one they would unplug.

Made my donation… wish like heck I could go to DC today… perhaps next week.

So glad Ms. Sarkisian is going to be there… what a tragic story… my heart goes out to her but I am very happy to see she is still fighting.

Thanks for your work Jane… I’ll try to get there next week to bump those guys from the lines… bastards.

Might I add, the Whip count is vital now and in the future. With all the comments published by callers, going into any election year, you will have all this data to publish “report cards” on every elected official to show how they voted on issues and their responses. All this will be interesting to show who is “passing or failing” the people.

Yet, with this issue, it is not about political data. It is about human rights and dignity and preserving sustainable living.

This is a great way to counter those blackmailing Blue Dogs.

Is it just me or are their amendments simply more delaying tactics most likely written my insurance industry lobbyists? Let’s force them to place their insanity over the humanity of decent health care for all.

It’s like the Canadian woman says in Sicko about the least of us getting the same care as the best of us.

Count me in.

Jane, I have been in awe over the FDL action alerts. The efforts to bring sunlight to the legislative process, pressing back with real people and grassroots/netroots efforts in order to counter balance the lobbying powers at play is impressive and inspirational. Add a tireless effort on the issue, with every possible update to your readers and coalition, makes it is clear, you have quite an effective team.

Thank you.

Quick question, I brought up the import of The Small Business Chamber of Commerce vs the National Chamber of Commerce in one of Christy’s posts. Has a post been written irt the conflict between the two regarding health care? The Small Business Administration has even made it clear that our national economic recovery will come from strong small business but that a national plan is needed to make small business thrive.
