Talk live with Dr. Howard Dean online tonight regarding health care reform

[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:


Former Governor Dean will be talking to Americans live tonight at 9:00 P.M. Eastern time, 8:00 Central time. Though he is promoting his book, "Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform," Dean says,

I won't just be talking about the book. I'll also have the most current news from Washington. We'll chat about what we can expect to see from the Senate this week. Who the leaders fighting for a public option really are and who aren't. And what's next in the Stand with Dr. Dean Campaign.

This won't be a one way conversation. I'll be answering your questions live, starting at 9pm Eastern.

To sign up for the live talks, register here.

You can also find out how your representatives in Washington are planning on voting in terms of health care reform here.

2. I hope more people will sign up for the chat. This is a huge issue

and if we don't show that we are strongly interested, the weak Democrats and the party of NO will make this issue disappear off the table.
I have to admit it's not pleasant calling a politician's office and telling him or her where I stand, but I do it. The Freepers certainly don't seem to have a problem getting their Dittohead automatons to call. We need to do the same.

3. Only Dem to say "no"? Mary Landrieu

Way too many "don't know" responses. Unacceptable.

Interesting that...
- only 6 Senate Repubs say "no" - oh look, there's John McCain on that list.
- only 4 House Repubs (no Dems of Ind) say "no" - hi, John Boerner!

And not so interesting but expected: good ole Harry Reid as a "don't know". He needs to go.

Thanks for posting! I'll sign up too.
