“Would be good to donate to NARAL too.
http://www
I have started donating direct to those who take a stand. So If I had your representative, I'd donate to NARAL and tell them to go to them for my donation.
I tell some to go to MoveOn and HRC and beg them for my money.
You should remain active in the Democratic party to get these people replaced.”

“When it comes to sending US jobs overseas, then we have to have "free trade."
But when it comes to helping working Americans buy the drugs they need, THEN WE CANNOT HAVE FREE TRADE AND HAVE TO PRACTICE PROTECTIONISM.
Obviously they are just doing the bidding of their big pharma corporate masters.
I don't want to hear another word about "free trade."
Bring the jobs home or let us buy drugs from anywhere.”

“I have not commented here but have read the back and forth and, frankly, this sounds to me one of the most honest assesments I have read, and there is also something that is very candid, and based in the real world.
I like that, and I support that.
Thank you”

Actually I signed this months ago but I try to make calls and emails as they request responses to specific issues along the way. Great email they sent out today about the "30,000,000 new covered" are actually 30,000,000 new criminals if they don't buy private insurance.”

“The 60 vote rule is a procedural rule the senate can change at any time.
Or could go into budget reconciliation. You can pass a bill in budget reconciliation with only 50 votes and the VP to break the tie.
The Republicans passed Medicare Part D (aka enormous gift to big pharmaceutical companies) in reconciliation with less than 60 votes.
They could change the filibuster rule to how it was like in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" where you have to stand up and actually talk the entire time of the filibuster. It is totally abused as is.
They could start playing hard ball since kowtowing to everyone is not working.”

“The health care reform bill is not in the budget proposal. Even if we did try the reconcillition process when will we have time to go through this process before the next election in November? How can we even be assured that their will be 50 Senators willing to partake in this process?
Dr. Dean is willing to take this enourmous risk, yet he's not even a congressperson. He can talk all he wants from the sidelines because he faces no risk.”

We'd all love a public option, but wishful thinking is not going to get us any kind of reform.”

“You think that isn't going to happen anyway? They pulled out the reversal of the exemption from Sherman Antitrust Act regulation which means they can continue to operate as a price fixing monopoly / oligopoly. No competition.
Also demand for health care is inelastic, meaning you will pay any price, particularly when your life is in danger, so, law of supply and demand do not work here.”

“One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.
Private health insurance companies will be just a vile and criminal in the future as they are now if there is not public option to compete with.
They violate existing laws and will violate future laws. The only way to force reform on this is to make them compete with a public option that is focused on care not on profit.

“The bill hasn't even been voted on in the Senate and if it does, it will have to back to the house, then back to the Senate before reaching the president's desk. Therefore, how can you claim to know what the final bill will say when it reaches Obama for final apporval, if he approves it.”

“So what you are saying is that you are willing to keep the status quo on health care. That you are willing to face the real probablility that we won't have a chance to pass any kind of health care reform in the future. That you are willing to let the costs of health care skyrocket beyond the affordablity of more and more people every year forward.
Gee thanks, I'll remember it was about your ego when I no longer have health care.”
