27. Slowly, but surely people are starting to want to get back involved, it seems
The holidays are coming, so less people will stay involved, probably.

And I, too, wonder whether all the calls and declarations with signatures that are sent to our congress critters matter. I get frustrated, because I feel like we're spinning our wheels. A lot of people are confused about the health care/insurance stuff. Many express that it's not going the way they had envisioned - that they want public option and not these crap bills.

Last night, I discovered another astroturf group who's fighting health care reform - they've got some doctors involved - I posted about it. Come to find out, the group backing them have mailed over 1 million signatures to congress. We have a lot of opposition - and they are out there in force, fighting against us by making their voices heard. So I guess, I need to try to help get our voice heard. :hi:
