A song for my fellow progressives who still oppose the "healthcare reform" bill

I've made my feelings known on this piece of legislation. I know that it may pass regardless of our opposition and outrage. All I can offer you at this time is the following song that I've taken to heart:

http://popup.lala.com/popup/360569449482768851&rct=j&ei=-MOjS-3sKJOltge5obT6CQ&sa=X&oi=music_play_track&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=2&ved=0CAcQ0wQoADAA&q=Muse+Uprising&usg=AFQjCNHuRZadXhL5ddmvGRxd9p0oQGGCHA

(The Lala link only let you play the whole song once, but you can play it over and over at Muse's MySpace page)

The paranoia is in bloom
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs to keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on!)

Another promise, another scene
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on!)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(So come on!)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time that the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(So come on!)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

:headbang::headbang::headbang:

This is why Democratic Underground exists. We are the uprising within our own party. Never forget. Never compromise. Never surrender.

I love you all.

2. Could be, but for whom?

For the dream of real healthcare reform in America? Or for the ambitions of the Sith-like health insurance companies who want to bring every American under their collective thumb?
