Stealing this to boost the signal.

The single most frustrating thing for me is that I live in the bluest part of a very blue state. All my reps are already pulling for public option. I suppose I could call them and say 'Good Job! Keep on keepin' on!" but somehow I feel like my red state family would do better at effecting change. =/

I know, right? My reps are blue as can be and hella-supportive of the public option. I send them encouraging notes once in a while anyway. It makes me feel better whenever I see clips of those town-hall lunatics screaming on the news. I feel like they could use an emailed hug, so to speak.

I grew up in Boston and part of me feels weird having moved to Virginia, but the rest of me loves living somewhere that it actually makes a difference if I call my representatives to let them know my opinion!

I called Kerry's office a few weeks ago, and got a lady who seemed genuinely glad to hear someone who supported the public option. I suspect they don't get people who are cheerfully to the point in their opinion, without ranting in one direction or the other, very often.

That was heartbreaking to watch.


My Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour a couple of months ago. Fortunately he's receiving excellent treatment from Britain's National Health Service. I'd hate to imagine him being denied treatment due to wrangles with a health insurance company.
