I just heard my State’s congresswoman on the radio and she said that she has received an overwhelming support for Healthcare Reform – The Public Option and plans on doing her part to make it happen. (Those letters and phone calls and two town hall meetings – one of which I attended - really did make a difference.)
Well, now that I am done with bending my States congresswoman’s ear, I decided that I will now write/call/email other congressman/woman in other states and let them know that we want and need HEALHCARE REFORM – THE PUBLIC OPTION. All those democrats that are on the fence about it will be hearing my voice. PLEASE ADD YOUR VOICES WITH MINES SO THAT THE MESSAGE CAN GET THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR. I also plan to call\write\email some of these Republican so they can know that those loud-mouth, pistol packing idiots that we see on TV at some of these town hall meetings DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME as much as these Republicans would like to lead us to believe.
The town hall meeting I attended last week gave some insight into HEALTHCARE REFORM – THE PUBLIC OPTION via power point. She announced on the radio this evening that the power point information can be viewed on her website: www.clarke.house.gov
