I left after the congressional staffer for my rep, the AARP
representative and two other people (I don't remember who they worked
for - Dodd or Lieberman) said that they couldn't answer specific

issues" related to the health care bill.

That would seem to be understandable. The bill is not in it's final
form. Plus, as you say, there is a very good chance they haven't read it
in it's entirety.

I wonder if SW Tom is on Bob MacGuffie's email list.
MacGuffie is the Connecticut reich-wingnut circulating memos on how to
disrupt town hall meetings.

Harry, I know Bob MacGuffie very well. He's a total loon. A very nice
guy, but a total freakin' loon.

He has exactly 15 perople who subscribe to his email list. And I'm not
one of them.

That's some POWERFUL right wing organizer huh? In particular where
he's not even an Republican.

However, speaking of organizing,

Hmmm - let's see - genuine citizens concerned about their future
health care being removed from their control against ogranized Union
thugs and ACORN Organizers.

I wonder.

Here's what you don't get Harry - People are ****ed off. They are
pushing back against what they see as radicalism and leftist
philosophy. Every person I've talked to about specifics in the HC bill
- what this does, what that does, get angry and concerned.

They also want to know why the "elites" and Unions aren't being made
to play in the same pool as the ordinary citizen.

And frankly, you should be concerned too because as a self-employer,
you aren't gonig to be covered by Union health care anymore.
