I spent much of my day yesterday calling my Senators, Congressman, Harry Reid's office, Pelosi's Office and telling them to kill the atrocity in the Senate and start over again. Today it is the DNC in writing and the White House in writing. In each instance I requested Single Payer Medicare for all and asked that it start immediately or there would be no future support or volunteering. I let one of my Senators know that my support of her continued tenure depended on her a thinking of her base and not trying to act like a Republican.

I spoke to people I know and they agreed with me and said they were disappointed and disgusted with Obama's stance on many issues. I think Dean would be an excellent alternative to Obama and I stand with him now. I'm going to keep my Tom Fox avatar, though. He gave up his life to try and bring help and peace to Iraq. I want to recognize him for that, as well as the others who did the same.

I also told the officials I called that I wanted no part of "bi-partisanship." If I had wanted Republicans I would have voted Republican. I suggested it would enhance their credibility if they stripped Lieberman of his special perks and let him be just another Senator. I told Reid's staff that he needed to grow a pair because I was really into the idea of replacing him too.

At this point I am waiting for the Democratic primaries to see if we can find some candidates with guts.
