The Important Things

This week I'm at the beach. Congress is on vacation, the president is going on vacation, I might as well too. I'm here with family, my son and daughter and their families. Seven of ten grand children. It's great. So, no health care issues, no discussion of war... More about sunscreen, walking to boards, whose turn is it to fix dinner, where is Max?, Henry? Sarah? You get the idea. Important things. The most important things.

Town Meetings on Health Care Reform

During their August recess many members of the House of Representatives are meeting with their constituents in Town Hall Meetings. This is normal practice. What is not normal are the disruptive gangs of thugs who are disrupting the meetings held by Democratic House members. These thugs have been organized by Boehner and Cantor, the Republican henchmen, in their futile attempt to discredit and disrupt the right of others to exercise their freedoms of assembly and speech.

Of course,
Boehner and Cantor deny all of this, but everyone knows exactly who is behind it. Funny how that works.

The truth is that our country desperately needs reform in providing health care for all Americans. We need it ASAP. It is about time the Republican stop playing politics and try to begin helping solve the problems, most of which originated with their leadership in the Congress and White House.
