3. I vote
kill the bill...HR676 could be shoved down the throats of the obstructionists, using(like John Walker said) the same tactics that the slimy Bill Frist used. These congresspeople need to be made to remember that they work for Americans not Insurance companies. Publicly Financed Elections would do that and save us billion$$$...The Majority of Americans (Dr.'s too) want a publicly financed health care system, just like most "civilized" nations have. Health care is a right not a privilege, for the moneyed few.

2. Potter
He's as close as you can get these days to a hero, working very hard for the public interests.

The man is a hero, pure and simple! Admirable dude.

4. Killing the bill to save it?
Fascinating spin by DemocracyNow.

Wendell Potter is a voice of reason as usual. I'm glad he's not lending his name to the "kill the bill" effort. I appreciated hearing from Jon Walker as well. I hope that he and others will help strengthen the final product through their advocacy.
