So if you didn't know, the Health Care thing passed the congress. Our last hope is that it will get stopped in the Senate. You should CALL/EMAIL your senators and ask them to respect your vote and vote no on the bill. Or thank them if they already are. There is a website "As a mom" (http://asamom.ning.com/) and it is a great tool to get you more in the political know how. Anyways, on it someone listed all of the senators that are "on the fence" for the Health Care bill. (The congress only passed it 220-215) It was SUPER close - In fact ALL republicans but ONE voted against it and even 39 democrats voted against it. Basically it passed because there were more democratic congressmen.
I don't care if you are dem or rep. if you read up on the health care bill being proposed it is just simply BAD NEWS. I mean it might SEEM good at first, but the money it will cost (despite their promises) will be much like how we are paying for the Social Security of the older generations - and we will never get it. Our children will be so in debt, it will be scary. We will be too - we just might be able to push it off long enough to avoid it. That is what they (the white house) is betting on anyways.
So if you would really like the government to tell you when you can and can't go to the doctor. What you can and can't have done. If you would like that kind of control given to the power thirsty people in the white house - do nothing.
Other wise call. I got this list of the on the fence senators, if you know of ANYONE in their states, please urge your friends to call/email them. And they can tell their friends and HOPEFULLY it can be a vote of the PEOPLE and not of the pocketbooks and what kind of kick backs the senators may get if this passes.
Here are the Senators that are on the fence. We must write,call and email them. Numbers of key senators: Sen. Mary Landrieu (LA) 202-224-5834 Sen. Blanche Lincoln (AR) 202-224-4843 Sen. Mark Pryor (AR) 202-224-2353 Sen. Russ Feingold (WI) 202-224-5323 Sen. Joe Lieberman (CN) 202-224-4041 Sen. Jon Tester (MT) 202-224-2644 Sen. Byron Dorgan (ND)202-224-2551 Sen.

We have to act before it's too late and we're stuck with something none of us want. Thanks for posting this! The more people that know, the better.
