Instead I worried all day yesterday about the women who do not catch their cancer in time to prevent their untimely deaths. Too many women do not have access to mammograms and pap smears. They do not have health insurance or, worse, their health insurance does not cover these life-saving tests.
I cannot BELIEVE that the citizens of the richest country on the planet are too selfish to demand that EVERYBODY in the country have access to health care.
IT TAKES GUTS TO GOVERN. Sometimes an elected person has to chose what is right over what pleases people that day. (Sorry Mom, I meant to say, 'intestinal fortitude', not 'guts'.)
If you are NOT one of the selfish citizens, please call your senators and representative today. Feel free to email, text, fax or write a letter. Remember that you need to vote in their district before they care what you think. Do not forget to email, text, fax or write to President Obama.
WE NEED HEALTH CARE REFORM NOW!
BTW, it is NOT unfair to use the rules that Congress lives by to pass the health care bill. I did not write the rules covering filibuster, the Senate wrote those rules. If you think Republicans would never take advantage of such rules, you have not been paying attention.
