Country…not a campaign

I have spent some time this week going over the facts of the debate on health care, from both sides mind you.   I think we all can agree that there needs to be health care in this country available to everyone, it’s who is going to pay for it.  I have seen too much of a lack of knowledge in this 3 month debate since the President took on this agenda item.   If members of congress have agreed they have not read the entire bill we can assume that no one is completely versed in it’s body.   So here is the crossroad the party had to come to, how do we handle this issue.  Simple, do exactly what the other side doesn’t do. We have seen poll numbers go down since this has been introduced even the President is not shielded from.   We must do one thing are you ready?

We must hold as many forums on this issue as possible.   We must open our doors and let people into our houses to talk about it.  We must buy everyone at the local coffee shop coffee and sit down and talk about it.   You see there is one side in campaign mode still here.  The side that likes to have big events that last a few minutes (47 to be exact) and run away.   We need to be ready to stay as long as possible and answer every question find every voter, and agree what needs to be done.

It’s great that Jen Wilson, our Director organized probably the first town hall on health care even before congress made it home on break, and I am sad to say that we have not seen our local congressman and congresswomen step up to the challenge yet, with no signs of doing so.

This is NOT a campaign, this IS a Country
