Momentary Reprieve
Immeasurable thanks to those who wrote, called, emailed, faxed, and protested, up to and including those who braved the ire of senators and got mauled and yanked from wheelchairs and arrested, and then responded by shouting more and louder.
The setback is the GOPs, but they arent quitting; they are regrouping. Pay special attention to those who didnt support the bill because, in their view, it didnt go far enough, wasnt cruel enough, wasnt punitive enough, because the bills intent is NOT about providing health care it IS about depriving Barack Obama of his presidential legacy. Its not about caring for the people of this country, its about hating him. Period.
In their limited vision, you and I are just collateral damage, mere annoyances obstructing their vendetta; were proving them wrong about that, too. Theyll fall back and regroup, and will be met by letters and phone calls and emails and faxes and protestors on foot and in wheelchairs because we have no need to regroup, our purpose is set. We have a reprieve, but we are ready. And eventually, the day will be ours.
