Let Dems hear from you…202-225-3121… this HCR bill is for the People
REPOST
The Democrats who’ve said — either in interviews or press releases — that they’re opposing the HCR bill include: 15 so far
Members of Congress need to hear from you. Lieberman may have wanted Medicare buy in and HCR before he didn’t; he is now showing how Politicians can easily put aside the rights of their constituents and fellow Americans. We need to get Progressive Democrats to Unite and push pass and shove a Bill toward our President’s desk that has been a long time in the making and one that can change not just health care, it will create jobs, will not kill grandma and will definitely need to be adjusted frequently.
The number to the Congressional switch board is 202-225-3121. If you get a busy signal, don’t be discouraged. Keep dialing.

We all deserve Health Care…OFA
The O effect …
We may only have until 2011, but i feel something new, something different coming from Ms O after her show goes off the air waves. In the weeks to come we will hear, like Ms O. stated a lot of conjecture about why she decided to discontinue the Oprah Show.
I for one have watched her show religiously, found myself cracking up, felt sadness at the plight of children,women,men and families featured on the show, anxious when the topic was not quite PC and have been less than happy to hear the criticism that she feels she is god, preaches too much … so on and so forth. I can’t say that i took any of the info and ran with it, it was good info and took what i thought might help me, never for one moment thought she was a god or goddess. she, is a person who has lived life, started out young knowing exactly what she wanted and did it… simple as that. She has worked, honed and crafted the gift of gab, she is a great interviewer, has a great staff; people feel comfortable around her, she is a well spoken orator most people truly are envious of. I am among those that got fired up when she helped so many accomplish their dreams of starting their own business, won’t forget the day she gave all those cars away or the trip she and gayle took…too funny
Ms O has exposed the viewer to things, issues, topics and people who quite possibly would have been left out of our lives and because of Ms O and her staff, a lot of us feel blessed we have followed this woman for all these years, undeniably she changed the way people see the written word, the spoken word not to mention when the word is sung… she has opened up the lives of so many, made a difference to women and while doing so has changed the lives of viewers all over the world. Ms O will never be forgotten… i say… she still has some work do to.
