Wow. If you've seen the pictures and even the video's I put up from my awesome experience this morning then you know. We Outnumbered the opposition nearly 7 to 1!!! When I arrived I got off the public transportation "light rail" right in the belly of the beast. Which was at that time only up to about 50 to 75 people. When you look at the pictures you'll see exactly what I mean. I even called up Dr. Mike Newcomb on 1480 AM to brag a bit but that's about the time my "rollercoaster" took a dive. On the the drive home I heard on the radio exactly the opposite of the message we spent all those hours in the sun putting out there. The "Public Option" most definitely wasn't a reality. That's when my stomach sank. Nausea sank in, and I closed my eyes and asked why. Couldn't I just have today at least? I thought this time was different. This was supposed to be the time we stood up to the opposition and demanded reform with a public option. As reality sank in, fear and sickness turned to anger. So I placed the call to the doc. The only doc that offers free consultations to those of us without coverage. The more him and I talked the angrier I got. Not at him of course but with him. I told every one of his listeners that these people work for us! We pay their salaries, and damn it they're gonna listen this time! I told them about the petitions I've gathered on my site and how easy it was to contact your local reps and the urgency that needed to be made clear about this bill. If President Obama doesn't pass this bill with a Public Option then there's no doubt in my mind that he is a "Lame Duck" President and a definite single term President. Not only will it kill his popularity but the Republicans will smell blood and believe me they will strike. They have nothing to lose as it is and we have everything. So I call on you once again to stand up "not literally" let your voice be heard! Let your meaning be felt. Write your congress, demand reform, and let them know a public option is not only necessary, it's mandatory! My family and I can't afford to get sick and neither can millions of other families in the current economical state of the United States. I overheard the opposition chanting "read the bill, read the bill" over and over and I couldn't help but wonder if they had done the very thing they were demanding everyone else do. Then I realized obviously not because if they had they'd be on this side of the street right now with us "reformers". Then I came to my senses yet again and realized that these people don't want truth. They don't want facts. They're merely puppets for Rush, O'Rielly, Hannity, Savage etc..... So I say my friends, my brothers and sisters, be heard. If the Progressives stay united, we can truly never be divided. Thank you.
