In poll after poll the majority of Americans say they do not want this bill. But, again, we're just too stupid to understand it. We have to have someone explain it to us again! Maybe draw a picture for us!

Net 202S
Okay, I'm in the home stretch. Everything came together the last few days and my website is looking pretty good...and it works too!
I just have to put some final touches on it and then upload it to my web server. Oh, but then there's that reflection paper to finish up too! (yuck)
I learned a lot doing this project and can't wait to update my own website!

Happy Thanksgiving
Don't you just love Thanksgiving? It's my favorite holiday of the year, although I'm not sure why. Maybe it's all the great food, being surrounded by family and good friends, playing a new card/board game, trying a new dessert or taking a few minutes to reflect on what I have to be thankful for. I'm not really sure except that I know it's my favorite!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Well, like it or not, government is moving forward on health care!
Just a vent...
Another step towards nationalized health care, government takeover of another 1/6 of our economy and government intrusion in our lives was just taken on Saturday night.
Government doesn't really care about health care for Americans, this is simply another way for government to take control...control/power from you and give it to themselves. If this bill were really about health care and the concern for Americans, then we wouldn't be hearing about:
*Increases taxes - starting when the bill gets pushed through even though health care benefits wouldn't start until 2014.
*Not every American will be covered - this health care plan will still not cover millions of Americans.
*1/2 trillion cut in Medicare benefits - MC is already closing in on bankruptcy, what is this going to do for the health care of our parents, grandparents or even you in the future?
*Medicare payroll tax hike
*You will be forced to buy health insurance or get fined/go to jail
*Rationed health care
*The creative accounting method used by the government to try to make a $2.5 trillion dollar health care bill look like it will cost only $849 billion.
Do you also know that a part of health care reform was already passed? Yep, it was hidden in the stimulus bill. This part is the creation of a "health care panel" consisting of 15 members (Obama has already appointed the 15 members) that will determine the appropriate care for each person. They will decide this by taking the cost of the medical procedure against the estimated time period the person will benefit from it. Oh, and by-the-way, the panel has also been funded with something like $1.1 billion dollars from the stimulus bill.
Feel cheated by your elected government officials yet?
How many times in the past few months have you seen our elected officials stand in front of us, on camera, and lie? Outright lie about what is included in the bill, who wants it, etc.? How about the blatant bribe of $300 million dollars included in the bill to get Senator Landrieu's (D-La) yes vote? Imagine that? Reid bribes Landrieu with tax payer $ - OUR $ - so she will vote yes for a health care bill that the majority of Americans don't want!
They really aren't trying to hide the fact that they don't care what their constituents wants. Consider the interview with Sherrod Brown (D-Oh). Asked if he knew that his constituents didn't want this health care bill to pass, would he vote no? Sherrod Brown responded with no, he would still vote for it. I guess he knows better than us about what we want or need, right?
I ran across a post this weekend that really sums up a lot of Americans' feelings pretty well. Here's what one person wrote:
"We the people" have tried to find jobs that the stimulus was supposed to create, we have tightened our belts, lowered our expense and still are struggling.
"We the people" have see that Government only knows how to spend and has lost touch with "WE the people"
"We the people" have taken cuts in pay, had our benefits reduced, and have lost our jobs.
"We the people" have watched as Government has increased spending, taken trips, enjoyed the fine life.
"We the people" would like to see Government take pay cuts, lose benefits, and pay for their own health care.
"We the people" demand better from our Government,
"We the people” are angry, hurt, and disappointed with our Public Servants.
"We the people" want our Government to remember who "We the people" are": right wingers, tea baggers, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Housewives, Teachers, Electricians, Farmers, Business owners, Construction workers, Janitors, Barbers, Gas station attendants, unemployed, retired, etc....
"We the people" means all of us, not just Party Affiliates, Bankers, Stock brokers, Unions, and Associates.
"We the people" will be heard and our votes will show that we care what our Public Servants do for "We the people".
I know it's a really long post, but I just had to vent! ;-)
