1. Couldn't be said better. "I look forward to a day when we've finally done our jobs." ...
Hope Lieberman hears that one loud and clear, sure he may ignore it but as long as he hears it.

2. I so wish!!!!
That more members of the Democratic Party would grow some cajones like Grayson has (of course I'm surprised he doesn't have to push them around in a wheel barrel in front of him in order to walk) ... wouldn't it be nice to feel like more congressman were actually fighting for you?

3. These stories are heart-breaking
The poor father who saved to send his daughter to college but could not afford to pay for desperately needed healthcare for himself. And his daughter is now a doctor.

Shame on this country! And shame on Joe Lieberman and his ilk who thinks 'we don't need a public option'. How did these monsters get to the positions of power they are in? Why do people keep voting for them?

And why has the media not covered these stories? Rep. Grayson is only one man, he cannot do it all by himself, and when you look around, he isn't getting much support from his party on this issue.

This is who Obama should have been talking to, not the pharmaceutical lobbyists. Healthcare is supposed to be about people. Yet, no one representing the people has been invited to any of the meetings where these life and death decisions are being made. It's all a scam. We are not getting health care reform, this whole thing is about saving the Insurance Industry.

Obama, if he had advisers like Grayson and Kucinich around him, could have been a great president, remembered like FDR, for an historical decision to stop this disgraceful death toll. Instead, he has surrounded himself with uncaring, heartless representatives of the profiteers who care nothing for their fellow citizens.
