In the last part of Congress on Sale! we look at those representatives who take little or no special interest money from groups and high-dollar individuals in the health care reform debate. Ron Paul ($3,000) or Rep. Dennis Kucinich ($1,250) will be more independent voices.
While they land on either side of the fence on the issue, and it contains many Blue Dog Democrats who will ride the fence, these are some of the most interesting players in the unfolding health care reform drama.

If you are concerned about receiving "real" health care reform in this country, please take the time to watch a video on our current system. The video was created by Oregon physicians who are advocating for the single-payer option. The video is very informative and helped me to gain a better understanding of various aspect of health care, as we know now it.
https://ww
These Oregon physicians are in the process of organizing a caravan designed to inform the public about the benefits of the single-payer option. At last count they will be stopping in approximately 23 states, on their way to demonstrate in Washington. They need volunteers and our support. Please spread the word.
It's going to be interesting to see who turns their back on the money and votes with the people. Those that don't, should be looking for new employment come their next election.
I'm not sure what I am more pissed off about....t
Is it true that the Democrat-Republican Party merely has two factions, each putting up their own Bozo the Clown candidate option, one with Blue shoes and one with Red shoes, both pushing the same corporate agenda, both equally paid in advance to be the Duly Elected corporate puppet?
