I just got a note from Chris Dodd that says in part:
One thing is crystal clear: you want substantial health care reform, and you want it now.
I've been reading through your ideas and comments about health care reform, and the common thread through virtually all of them is that you want a real solution to cover all Americans and reduce costs.
At the bottom is a link to donate money to Chris Dodd. This man cannot get a decent bill out of the HELP Committee, and he wants my money. Nothing doing.
Want to do something about health care? Give to a blogger. Any blogger who is writing about this. Or give to one of the single payer organizations. But do not give one dime to those who can't even be bothered to fight for a decent public option, never mind a single payer system.

not sure....
I'm not sure how much anger should be directed at Dodd.
I mean, its entirely possible that the big problem is that Dodd is caught between Baucus's efforts to hijack health care, and Teddy Kennedy's refusal to acknowledge that his brain cancer makes it impossible for him to continue to play a leadership role in the committee. In other words, Kennedy's refusal to give up control of the HELP committee has paralyzed it, leaving the field to Baucus....with Dodd looking like an idiot every time he tries to head off Baucus because the HELP committee is incapable of doing anything as long as Kennedy insists he is "coming back", and will be in a position to over-rule anything that had been worked out.
money
Not a dime to any Dem until single payer/public option is passed.Save your money for primary opponents.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
I think we should respond to their money requests with letters galore, sympathetic with their money plight, and tell them this year no money until they enact single payer. They don't represent the healthcare parasites and they don't represent the president; they represent us. Time for them to act like it. And then next year no money, no time, and no vote until they get it done for us.
Like matter and anti-matter, Republicans and the truth are unable to occupy the same space.
that's what i do
i'm sure they ignore my replies completely, but every single request they send me, i send back with first, you stand up for hr 676.
