Do what you can to push him over the edge
Thank you.

1. I'll give the lawnmower man a call.
He just makes no sense any more.
He sounds like a typical puke with nothing to offer.

At one time, he actually said a thing or two that made sense. Not anymore. If you have Mediacom Cable, he has a monthly call in show on Channel 22, or Mediacom connections22. I'll try to find out when it's on this month and pass the info along to everybody. I tried to call in last month and discuss health care, but for some strange reason, I couldn't seem to get through for a long time. It rang and rang and rang...and when someone finally answered, the screener told me that time was short, what was my subject? I told him health care and was told that "The Senator has already addressed that issue". So fuck him. I'll email and call next time. They will either read my message or throw me in Gitmo I guess. Or maybe I'll have to mow his lawn.
On edit- had to add the lawn mowing comment.

6. Well attended. Lots of single payer advocates.
Harkin is on our side and ready to fight. I don't know if he will go all the way with single payer, but he will fight for strict regulations and a gov't run health care option, most likely an extension of medicare.

5. Maybe he's worrying about 2010
And that the Democrats are going to do more than a token effort in that election.
