Memo to Warren Buffett: Put Down the Pom-Poms and Tell Us the Truth About the Economy

“Easy to say when you are not homeless or hungry. The reason we need so many laws is because
we do not have the moral compass to function in any aspect of life without them. That
is not something to be proud of !!”

“You're wrong. We have laws because we have the moral compass. Our moral compass is the basis of our laws. If we did not have a moral compass, from where would the laws come?”

“Then let the rich spend their money! The rest of us don't have any!”

“The "rich" are not spending either. They are also not hiring. Why would they. the President HATES the Chamber of Commerce. Gee I wonder WHY they are not hiring with HC reform, Cap and TAX and immigration (Give 12 million USA jobs away) reform coming up. The JOB CREATORS are terrified and will NOT hire until these issues are off the table. That's what Buffett would say IF he could.”

It is time to have Obama's back. If it is a show of faces in Washington that gets the media's attention then lets give them a SHOW. Call on Move-On.Or g to organize not a march ON Washington but a
Stand in Support of Our President. They have all the e-mails necessary.
We need to stop being so CEREBRAL and get in the trenches and fight back. These crazies are growing stronger everyday and they have the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and Corporate Money paying for it.
Yes Obama needs to do the job we sent him to do but in some battles the Leader needs the army
visible and to show him they really do have his back.”

“Dear Anyone with Clout,
President Obama needs our help.
It is Saturday morning and I am having my morning coffee watching the news coverage of the "Tea Party" march in Washington. My stomach gets sick every time I hear these people spew their hate. It is not JUST about health care anymore they are out for blood. Calling the President a liar, a Marxist,a socialist and worse and gathering more steam each and every day. This is not a passing phase of their nose being out of joint believe me I am temporarily living in South Carolina and it is scary!
We The People who came out by the millions to elect him have to have his back now. I am just a regular everyday woman and have no clue how to organize something BIG....Qui ckly. So I thought I would contact everyone I could think of that might have that kind of power. We need to have a very VISIBLE showing, perhaps in Washington, to SHOW our support for him. Perhaps a concert and donating every dime to a kick-off fund for the public option or the health care program in general.
I hope you seriously consider helping in this quest. I truly believe a quiet ,dignified, LARGE show of support for President Obama right now just might set the tone for the next four years so he can do the job he went to Washington to do
Sincerely,
I Love My Country Too!”

“I think the bank bailout fiasco is the single biggest reason for lack of trust about healthcare.
When they didn't make the banks tow the line and because they have even begun to change the
regulations the hope of doing what is right was lost. Without a public option the EXACT same thing will happen with Big Insurance as with the banks. They stay in control of everything and nothing changes beyond the veil of foolery. How stupid is everyone that thinks otherwise!”

“I have BCBS PPO and they just refused an ER visit because I thought I was having
a heart attack on a Saturday night. I Never go to the ER and because I didn't have
a heart attack it was not an emergency and they won't pay according to my plan.
I"ve already checked into Canada and they won't take us at least onto their system because of our age and the fact we haven't paid into their system all of these years,
which is understandable albeit disappointing.
I would be gone tomorrow just to be able to live around people who treat each other with some human compassion.”

“The hypocrisy is fighting against the uninsured having a right to life. Tens of
thousands die every year simply because they do not have access to health care.
I guess Right To Life only applies when it doesn't cost you anything. Life is Life
and Death is Death. If one is going to stand up for the Right To Life it is hypocritical
to pick and choose who's life that will be.”

“I read, right here on this site, that the United States has 18,000 people die a year because they don't have health insurance.
I find it very hard to believe even though that is an extremely low number because even though a person doesn't have health insurance they still have access to the same quality and level of care that insured people have and they should have that right.
How many of those 18,000 would die anyway even if they had the same health insurance as our "public servants" have?”
