Rep. Grayson starts "Names of Dead" website listing those who died by lack of insurance coverage
From the Hill Blog briefing room:


http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/64129-die-quickly-congressman-creates-namesofthedeadcom

Republicans charged Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) with breaking House ethics rules and election law Wednesday by linking a new political website to his official website.

The new site, namesofthedead.com, seizes on Grayson’s comment on the House floor that the Republican healthcare plan is for people to “die quickly.” It invites visitors to log-in the names and stories of friends and relatives who died because they lacked health insurance.

Users are prompted to enter their name, address, zip code and e-mail address, as well as their friend’s or relative’s name, hometown and story.


Grayson announced the creation of the site on the House floor Wednesday and displayed a poster with the site’s address. He said the names of those who die because of a lack of health insurance should be identified.

you can enter the lucrative revolving door of serving on committees then lobbying those same committees to defeat health reform, etc.?

republicans are the party of PIGS

"unlike many other Democrats and mainstream Republicans, he refuses to be intimidated by the bullying tactics employed by the GOP's "Party of 'No' caucus" .. Boehner's pary of "no" has become the Party of "Anarchy & Chaos" anything to keep Obama and Dems from getting problems solved.
