Health Care Public Service Announcement -- It's Time!
This Wednesday, the President will hold a town-hall on Health Care and the White House is asking for input. To learn more about how to submit a question, read here.
This is it, boys and girls! Time to put up or shut up! Don't hold back! Gather your thoughts, and give your ideas!

Why only video responses?
They're stacking the deck against the most vulnerable from the get go.

If we don't speak up they will always be able to say that we didn't really care.

I'm gonna do it. We're beginning to see how a Community Organizer governs, and we're the community he's trying to organize.
A few days ago I posted about the campaign from Bold Progressives. http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/5649/t/4612/content.jsp?content_KEY=2621
The story was picked up by the New York Times, among others, (They called the ad campaign a "pile-on").
While you're at it, there are other petitions to sign at Democracy for America and MoveOn.
If anyone else knows of another pressure point...add it to the list that is developing at TPM.

I find it discouraging and possibly disingenuous that Obama is now soliciting video replies ass to our wishes for healthcare reform, after signalling from the start that single payer is off the table. I tried to submit this comment, but it is apparently too long for the youtube format:
I'll modify it and resubmit.

Good idea. I wonder what he would dream up to discount this guy's very valid (and reality-based) points. His comment about all the empty leather chairs was priceless!

Yez, and a reminder that camera angles are routinely used to show one point of view that may not be accurate.

Most testimony doesn't give a wider shot of the senate or house members that are supposed to be attending.
The exception may be CSPAN, but in my experience these wider shots of the "empty chairs" is never shown.
I was glad he called attention to it, and I think more people should.

Here's a link to something I posted regarding questions I've never heard a journalist ask Senators about health care.
It might help with ideas for questions for Obama.

The money being thrown at democrats and congress in general is crazy. This country is in very deep shit. I get more pissed about this every day. I can tell because my messages to the WH and my senators and rep are getting more abusive by the day. What assholes.
