Spread the word: Ben Nelson in the pocket of the insurance companeis
According to <http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2004&type=C&cid=N00005329&newMem=N|OpenSecrets.org>

Blue Cross/Blue Shield and the insurance industry at large make up the largest portion of Nelson's donations going back to 2002.


What a joke. Ask President Obama to call them out.

1. It'll never happen, but the quick and clean solution to health care . . .
Is to nationalize all the insurance companies and then slowly sell them back once a single payer solution has been implemented and it's no longer practicable for them to sell health insurance.

2. what about Jon Tester?
Wasn't he the wunderkind the Dems helped get into office -- and now he sides with the insurance companies? That didn't take long, did it?

3. Nelson must go! He needs to be defeated. Is there a chance
that someone will run against him in the Democratic primary?

5. He's not up for reelection until 2012!!!!!
He is the "leading conservative Democrat in the Senate."
