Is this really what Organizing for America is aiming to do with Saturday events around the country?

Organizing for America, Obama's political operation within the Democratic National Committee, plans thousands of service events around the country Saturday aimed at building support for health care overhaul among a restive public wary of higher costs, lower quality and a price tag that will swell the federal deficit.

1. What would you like them to do?

I am at the point where I believe we need to take notice from Iran and demand it.

2. I do not see evidence of a 'restive public wary of higher costs, lower quality and price tag, etc.'

I see a public who wants universal, affordable health care--made possible by a real public option that will work to drive down the costs of health care for all of us.

3. I got you.. It was the verbage. No, when it comes to health, I'm not saying

we should slack off or provide less quality. If it costs more, then cut the Pentagon's budget. What's the point of "defending America" if the population is sick and dying?
