Olbermann's "Right to Life" "Fight Against Death" sent to whitehouse.gov
I would like PRESIDENT OBAMA HIMSELF to view and read and to respond to this message.

This episode of Keith Olbermann's Countdown was a vitally important show including vitally important points - about MORALITY and the IMMORALITY of our health care system as it stands - and the debate to reform it.

MILLIONS of viewers watch Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. They will want answers to this from President Obama and Congress - and they are politically astute - and they VOTE.

"Right to Life" and the Fight Against Death ie: what we call "Health Care":

2. Thanks for sending this.
IIRC, I think the President (and/or staff) watches KO, so maybe they were watching along with the rest of us. No one who watched could avoid being moved, outraged, and "fired up- ready to go."

3. GOOD. I'm glad 'they' watch it. They need to know that we would like some ANSWERS....
Edited on Thu Oct-08-09 07:53 AM by Triana
...that we agree with KO and we expect answers and expect this MORAL OUTRAGE of a health care system to be FIXED.

(not that I believe we'll get either answers or the system fixed - we likely will not)

BUT - "they" need to know we're WATCHING and that WE KNOW where WE stand and where THEY SHOULD stand on the issue. If they don't do what's RIGHT - then there will be no question why they lost their jobs in "public service"(pfft! ie: corprat whoredom, more often but I digress...), their political clout, and their PARTY base.

I mean to put more PRESSURE on them. They need to be squeezed until they burst into a million screeching pieces of broken up greed and do what's RIGHT instead of what gets THEM the most money under the table from corprats. Meanwhile, they need to have the shit harassed out of them by us peasants who pay for THEIR effing health care while they DENY the same to us.

4. It is extremely useful to widen the HC/Insurance Reform discussion to include Right to Life.
Anyone who claims to be Right to Life and is anti HC Insurance Reform is either basically confused or lying.
