(6,699 posts)Born in 2000, with a "pre-existing condition" that is at threat. He was born with PKU, a disease that can now be detected at birth, and has to live consuming a formula that is expensive and never ending. IF he were to lose that medical coverage, or if he ever became "down and out" and had to survive off one of these minimum wage jobs, he would slowly poison his brain to where he would eventually be "retarded" or unable to care for himself.
THIS is what we are fighting for.....thousands more like my grandson, and millions more who ALSO have pre-existing conditions that are at risk by these insensitive, heartless and selfish politicians that just don't care one bit for the welfare of the fellow citizens.
VOTE! I've got mine filled out and ready to mail, and I'm going to let my wife look at it before she fills her's out and we mail them in together today. NO POSTAGE necessary here in Washington state. Voting made easy, the way it should be. (I should mention, my wife is a nationalized citizen, and her understanding of complex issues in a voters pamphlet are overwhelming at best. She is also easily swayed by something as basic as a "jobs fair" to re-elect the dim witted repuKKKe we have representing us now. I hope my sister, Joe Biden, and I have convinced her that changing Congress to Democrat is essential to the healthy future of this country...but she can vote for whoever she chooses in the end, and doesn't need to show me how she voted; unlike my fox viewing republican sister who votes for herself and her husband, who has advanced Alzheimers.)
