14. Oh yes...
www.billionairesforwealthcare.com

They are a spinoff of Billionaires for Bush and I had the pleasure of "counter" protesting with them at several * gigs in Milwaukee in 2004. They're back in an updated and much welcomed form :)

They're even on Facebook!

I know that is dumb, but the only videos I know how to post are ones already on there and I just click share. How can I add one from Youtube though?

31. impressive
They have courage AND they can sing!

I was so amazed at their poise and how skillfully they carried it off. Not too many people have that rare combination of talent and disposition.

I feel very proud of our progressive methods. Instead of showing up to town hall meetings and screaming our heads off or reduce ourselves to scare tactics , we find a unique to present our side in intelligent and memorable. Well done!

... they'll STILL have done a fine job with their time on Earth. That's an event that will be recounted by their great-great grandchildren (who, one hopes, will enjoy national health care).

Love it, more and more folks are speaking out one way or another. The lobbyists and weak willed legislators will still water down the Hell out of the bill that emerges, and that's sad.
