    WE DO HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER OUR GOVERNMENT BUT
    NO CONTROL OVER THE LARGE CORPORATIONS.

    WHO ARRANGED FOR US TO HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY WITH DISABILITY AND SURVIVOR PROTECTION, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, HELP IN TIMES OF TRAGEDY, ETC.?

    WHO DO YOU TRUST THE MOST?  WHO HAS HELPED YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES THE MOST?

    IF WE DON’T HAVE A PUBLIC OPTION THAT WILL COVER THOSE WHO INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL NOT, MAKE SURE EVERYONE ELSE IS COVERED THAT CAN’T AFFORD IT, AND WILL KEEP INSURANCE COMPANIES HONEST, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?

    MAY GOD GIVE US THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR ALL AMERICANS,  AMEN.

POLL: PUBLIC SAYS CONGRESS NOT LISTENING

Perhaps no other issue Congress deals with touches every American as intimately as health care. Yet a new poll by NPR, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health finds that, so far, the public feels profoundly shut out of the current health overhaul debate.

“Most people don’t feel that they personally have a voice in this debate,” said Mollyann Brodie, director of public opinion and survey research for the Kaiser Family Foundation. “In fact, 71 percent told us that Congress was paying too little attention to what people like them were saying.”

Nancy Turtenwald is one of those people. The tourist from Milwaukee was walking around the sparkling new visitor center at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday. She was quick to agree with poll findings that the lawmakers debating the massive health overhaul bill just a few blocks away weren’t much interested in problems like hers.
