Tuesday news …&CSPAN.org live-stream


Today, we will all be a part of history.  It will be history that we all can honestly be proud of… if you believe in moving into the 21st Century, believe in health care for all, if you believe it’s a right not a privilege that the overhaul is long overdue, will help most if not all of us and is not as people are portraying this, it’s a bill for the poor.  I don’t believe that parents with kids in college would say they are poor and now days most families have 2 or more in college at the same time.  The first year of kids being away from home can be full of illnesses; why? because they don’t sleep eat or drink enough water.  It can be four years of illness or not.  I say that because i remember what it was like myself.  We all know college is not cheap so those who say HCR is only for the poor are  just wrong. This Bill will benefit everyone …  and more… get informed

As a woman, you don’t have to be poor to benefit … can i just say that again, women will NOT be discriminated against anymore. I repeat this because when i had my child, being pregnant was considered a “condition,” so, any woman who has experienced this in the past should feel a little envy but proud that women from now on will no longer have issues; bart stupak and the pro-lifers don’t understand that every part of a woman’s health is subject to being penalized and that includes abortion, which, is not a choice but a situation that is always possible and is apart of healthcare. It’s bad enough that among other rediculous laws that need to be voted on The Hyde law must be voted on every year; here’s hoping people who truly want smaller government will also stop trying to control women

.   Please be near a tv, computer … cspan.org live-stream to see President Obama sign this historic Bill at 11:15AM ET today. Today, is a day to celebrate but we need to move swiftly forward to deal with education, energy, more jobs, immigration and more.
