3. Again, that is fine, but they need to broadcast it over the airwaves, and whenever
Democrats are on shows or being interviewed they need to get the message out

4. So you think tv and radio is the best way?
Personally, I think getting in people's face is the best way. The town halls have gotten a lot of negative coverage, but one thing that's certain to do is spark curiosity.

6. no, just another way. Yes, I do agree town halls, and face to face are the best
but you reach a heck of a lot of people on tv and radio medium, especially if the message is crafted clearly

10. Take it upon yourself.
If you hear someone calling into the radio with bullshit talking points, call and rebuke it.

This is OUR fight.

7. I used the form to ask about the discriminatory language of the
current versions, so thanks. If they clear that crap up, I might be able to lend some support.

11. Useful to many, wasted ether space to some
Those who need to see this do not want to see it and won't. Their fight is not with facts but a deep seated view that information from Obama will not satisfy ever. If he was against HC reform, they would be rioting for it.
