Do WE really want to go here...again?

From "People for the American Way"...please read the article then watch the McCarthy video. We really are here again. I don't know about everyone, but this disturbs me greatly. We cannot let ignorance rule again. It hurts people and it hurts our nation.

It Takes All Kinds

For those of you who missed Rachael Maddow's truly funny piece last night from this video on health care reform, CLICK HERE
I can't imagine a more creative way to get the message across!
I'm thinking we need some tap dancers in suits and holding brief cases at the next rally in front of Burgess's office, Cornyn's or Hutchinson's.

Sane Advice for the upcoming Constitional Election

As always, the language in the upcoming election is confusing for each ammendment. People looking for what the language really means can CLICK HERE and view the "House Research Organization's voter guide" contained within this article, but please read the article from Burnt Orange as well (from: http://www.iflizwerequeen.com).
We all need to educate ourselves on these issues. Read about them and make up your own mind, but please read other views and compare them for more understanding on what they really mean for us. Write down which ammendments you want to vote yes or no to and take the paper with you when you go to vote. It is allowed.
Most importantly VOTE and take a carload of people with you. Check with elderly or disabled neighbors and see if they need a ride. Call the Denton County Democratic Party if you need a ride and they will make sure that someone contacts you and takes you to vote (940-566-1165).
Elections like this one normally have a poor turnout which is advantageous to those in power now. They count on a poor turnout to make sure their agendas become laws that might reinforce actions we really did or did not want. Let's show them that Denton County can turn up the volume and GET OUT THE VOTE!
Election day is November 3rd. Early voting started Monday, October 19th and ends Friday October 30th.

Tired of the fight over Heath Care but want to learn more??


Listen to NPR's informative and entertaining "This American Life". The previous two programs provide a great look at Health Care problems and they do it in a way that is compelling. You can listen on line or download the podcast. Oh, and if you have not contributed to National Public Radio lately, do that too.

Last week's show " Someone Else's Money". Click here
This week, we bring you a deeper look inside the health insurance industry. The dark side of prescription drug coupons. A story about Pet Health Insurance, which is in its infancy, and how it is changing human behaviors—for example, if you have the pet health insurance, you bring your pet to the vet more often, and the vet makes more money and...well, you can see the parallels. And insurance company jargon, frighteningly decoded.

Previous week's show "More Is Less". Click here
An hour explaining the American health care system, specifically, why it is that costs keep rising. One story looks at the doctors, one at the patients and one at the insurance industry.

Listen. You won't be sorry.
