People have gone to Dc 3 times 2 in the past couple days

There were massive tea parties held all across the country April 15th

Did you not watch NJ and Va go from voting Obama in NOV to voting for a republican

Yall keep ignoring it. Works for me

No it doesnt work for me sorry. Wake up pay attention. Enough of the status quo. Enough paying them to lie to us, Enough of them forgetting who they work for

Actually, I think they are kidding themselves. There are multiple millions of people who don't vote. The last election demonstrated what happens when some of those that didn't, start. The GOP's continuous demonstration of their lack of concern and downright disrespect of the American people, is awakening more and more. The thing about being an American is we tend to go along quietely with things, as long as it doesn't affect tus too much. But when we get affected, as we are getting now, we tend to rile up and fight for what is right. The vast majority of Americans, want, need and will demand and effective reform to the Health care problems we face. There is a general disgust with Congress about who they are REALLY representing and it will impact elections. If I were a Rep or Senator, I would make sure I knew what my constiuents want.

Default Really? Seriously?

Blue Dogs and RINO's both better watch their tails! Though only one supposed Republican voted for yesterday's Obama-care bill, the country is watching all of the votes on all of this ridiculous spending...

We are told we "have to pass the stimulus package" so unemployment won't go over 8%. Well, are you guys checking it out? It is up to 10.2% now and rising!!!

We are all being lied to as they take our hard earned money, those of us who still have a job, and they are planning to take more and more of it until we are all at their mercy. You cannot tax and spend your way out of a recession/depression...Cut taxes and let the small businessman/woman provide jobs for others, who then will be able to pay their own small income taxes...That is the only proven way to get out of this mess.

We need to throw the whole lot of them, Congress and Senate and the Executive branch, out on their rears and start over...and while we are at it, we need term limits for Congress! These professional politicians are a big part of our problem!

OK lets help you out. Blue dog Dems come from conservative leaning districts, who in general are opposed to this health care plan. So those who voted for it who came from these districts are in danger. Pretty simple really.

how little you really understand about all this. I don't think there is an American that would not like to see insurance be allowed for everyone with pre-existing conditions, but there is so much more to what is happening than one issue..
