Why I oppose this Health Care bill
Submitted by PA Henry on March 17, 2010 - 10:01pm.
The simple truth is that this bill is a fraud and a sham, it will not lower premiums it will raise them. It won't reduce the deficit, it will increase it. While many uninsured will get coverage, it will be at the expense of taxpayers. Quality of care may drop and we will be having debates about this issue long after this bill is passed because it is fatally flawed.
I don't oppose reform, we need reform. But this bill is not the way to do it, it will overall makes things worse, not better.
The Rectitude Of Our Cause

That there exists such confidence and fire for the rectitude of our suit against the slanders of our opponents that we would be even entrusted with criminal matters is flattering, but it is a flattery that we must decline.
Such attempts to turn our heads constitute traps for the unwary and undisciplined vigilantee elements in society. Nor must we resort to villiany, for both are anathma to justice, without which there is never a stable peaceful trade.
Clarkies in KC and the landed gentry

I spent the last weekend in the Lawrence-Kansas City area, first for a family reunion celebrating my aunt's 80th birthday in Weston, MO, and then in the KC area, including Lawrence, where I stayed for three nights.
Sunday afternoon was Clarkie Day. I first visited the Johnson-Pickett estate. Chuck and Jai live in a beautiful area with lots of trees and hills. Very bucolic. Then the three of us trekked a few miles north to meet LJM and Sharon for a mid-afternoon lunch.
"Bipartisanship" to the GOP means that Democrats come to them on their terms!
Submitted by Mitch Dworkin on March 8, 2010 - 11:59pm.
Rapid Response
Hello Everyone:
It has got to be articulated to the country that the definition of "bipartisanship" to GOP leaders really means how Democrats will come to them on their terms to find something in common. This kind of "Bipartisanship" works only one way to them where Democrats are doing all of the giving while Republicans do not give anything back in return. In other words, Democrats have to accept as much Republican agenda as they can while the Republicans will not vote for any Democratic legislation.

Threat
Submitted by Wes Clark on March 3, 2010 - 12:30pm.
When it comes to clean energy and climate change, it is time for the United States to act.
We currently send $1 billion a day in oil money overseas. This dependence on foreign oil not only threatens our economy and the health of our planet, but also our national security.
The longer we maintain our foreign oil dependence, the more we continue to place our future in others' hands. That is why, today, we are joining with dozens of organizations, representing millions of Americans, calling on the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that will secure our nation and put us on a path towards energy independence.
Stand up for our security by contacting your senators TODAY and demand the Senate passes clean energy and climate legislation!
If we allow global warming to continue, we risk increased natural disasters, shifts in agricultural production, and drastic changes in climate patterns, all of which will require manpower and vast economic resources that could be better focused on other areas of concern.
Global warming is not likely to reverse, but through the right policies, we can work towards slowing its pace.
Currently, there are limits on the resources available in America because of our reliance on fossil fuels, but we have other viable energy alternatives that must be explored and implemented. These alternatives are the future. Our present dependence and focus on foreign oil hampers efforts towards finding new energy solutions.
Tell the Senate to end our dependence on foreign oil -- the security of our nation depends on it.
Make the call. We need to make sure that the Senate hears from us this week.
Sincerely,

The Real Reason Obama's Plan Doesn't Include a Public Option
by Miles Mogulescu
"The reason Robert Gibbs gives for President Obama's health care plan not including a public option -- that despite majority voter support, it can't get 51 Democratic votes in the Senate -- doesn't hold up. The real reason is that Obama made a backroom deal last summer with the for-profit hospital industry that there would be no meaningful public option.

HELP: WE NEED A NEW LAW
Submitted by Dave4Clark on February 23, 2010 - 6:15pm.
Election Reform

Calling on Clark. Wes please stand up for us!
We need to change something important. We need a law that says only individuals can donate to campaigns. Only individuals have the right to free speech in the form of donations. A company is not a person. People have the right to vote not companies. We need real change for once.
Doing this would actually level the playing field for elections and make things more honest on the hill. It would not cost anything to do this and we would all benefit immensely.
