My goodness - here in Northern WV the anti-reform movement is out in force

[ThomWV]

Since noon today I've got two text messages urging me to call my Representative and tell him to vote No on reform, heard at least a dozen similar commercials on the radio (I had to take a 2 hour truck ride this morning) and when I stopped at my son's house - where some sort of WVU basketball game was on the TV that was apparently the most important event in the history of mankind, which insured a lot of viewers locally, just about every commercial was anti-health-care-reform.

They are really pushing hard. The target seems to be a Representative from up in Pittsburgh (75 miles North). I feel for him, and this is just the first hint of how money is going to effect political debate.

2. Radio and TV coverage

We get their Radio and TV coverage, the text message was to call my WV Congressman with the same message. They are hitting all the bases.

3. That congressman is Jason Altmire(D) who today announced he would vote NO. nt
