H.R.676 - United States National Health Insurance Act (or the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act)
- scrabbledemon : Tomorrow, Thursday February 12, 2009, is a national call-your-representative day sponsored by the Progressive Democrats of America. PDA is having these once a month, and the goal is to have so many calls at once that the switchboard gets overwhelmed.
Call your own Congress Member and ask them to cosponsor and promote HR 676: (202) 224-3121.
While you're at it, call your senators and ask them why they don't have a companion bill for HR 676?
And, since Hilda Solis's nomination is looking shaky right now (the LAST thing they want is someone who's pro-labor!), tell all of them you have their backs in supporting Solis's nomination.

- TessRenberg : I want to tell my brothers and sisters in the US what my experience has been with universal healthcare.
I am an American living in Europe this past year. I have to rave about the healthcare here in Scandinavia. They do not overschedule the appointments because they are not profit driven. My usual wait time with an appointment has been 0-5 minutes with an appointment, in the US it was usually 30-45 minutes. I have four children, so I go to the doctor quite a bit. There are no papers to fill out, because its all tied to our 'social security' number. The staff everywhere i go is more friendly and relaxed than my experience in the US. We pay a copay as in the US, but not for children. My husband needed a two week stay in the hospital last year and we would have been devastated finacially in the US, but here we were ok. That makes me a better parent for my children knowing we are supported.
The drug companies compete for the government contracts, so capitalism works for us! Hospitals get better prices for their supplies, in the US, i looked at my hospital bills, usually they paid way too much for bandages and ointments!
Then i looked how much the US spends of its GDP for healthcare, it's nearly double what is spent here. I saw the PNHP is about 15,000 physicians who want this type of healthcare in the US. There are also churches, unions, nurses organizations, and business organizations who want this for all of us in the US. The absolute most important thing that i can tell you about it though is the respect for human life and dignity that comes when you know you are taking care of everyone, it's healing. Did I mention the comparison of lifespan and infant mortality rates in the US compared to other industiral nations with universal healthcare? Please call and write your representatives for your families' sake.
I am just so grateful.

S.1959 - Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
- Anonymous : Ron Paul and his cult are loons.
- ProjectCMD : This must not pass simply because it labels Americans terrorists. How? Everyone has an opinion on which party is better, they are actually quite alike in most ways, they just put things in different terms. Bipartisan, right? They all have their own opinions and that is what they follow. How many disagreed with the bailouts, I know I did, and I wrote senators and congressman, nothing that we Americans asked. The bailouts went through, banks bought out banks, went on vacations and we did nothing.

H.Res.333 - Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
- calvininsf : I believe this is entirely just and will be surprised if he is not brought before international court.
- eagleriver90 : Oh, give it a rest. Dick Cheney was vetted constantly by all members of Congress, including the most liberal ones, who also approved and voted for all these "high crimes" - Are you all forgetting that little important fact? EVERYONE, including Bill Clinton when he was president, believed that there were WMD in Iraq. Even before Dick Cheney took on his 'evil persona' after he was voted in.
You people need to get a life and pay better attention to the real events - not just listen to those who would revise history!

- dragonfly777 : Not even the government of the United States should operate with all immunity. There must remain a system of checks and balances. There must be a system that everyone has to answer to to keep abuse of power under control. Too bad on this date 6/30/09 that the government of the Unitied States thinks it no longer answers to the people. That will change soon.
