2. A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
As soon as "I" go off unemployment (that is, hopefully get a J-O-B), I'm not going to be able to be such a good citizen and continually CALL and EMAIL my Representatives on this and other matters!

Yee-haw - it's very fun when it goes well!

:silly:

4. Anything being done dual track on Medicare to 55, better substance and less blowback.

6. Not really.
Considering every supporter hasn't signed, 17 more Senators is likely attainable.

10. I see this count stalling out around 40 and Dems using it for political cover
saying, "Well, we tried."

12. Jake from the Young Turks doesn't think this is a serious count
he thinks the Dem's are only doing it knowing there not going to pass a public option

13. I can't help feeling that his is just another dog and pony show to fool us.
I've heard senators claim they have the votes before.

Not buying anymore until it is done and signed.

14. Everytime I call Maria Cantwell says she is for it
so I think if it came to a vote she would do so. I think she is holding back on the list because of the republicans in our state. She is trying to play it both ways. I wonder if some other dems are doing that?

15. As soon as it gets close to 50, this will shut down.
It's all staged PR to the Left.

It won't happen.
