Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.<BR/><BR/>You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.<BR/><BR/>He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!<BR/><BR/>Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.<BR/><BR/>Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.<BR/><BR/>Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.<BR/><BR/>As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss "Let Them Eat Cake" vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.<BR/><BR/>I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.<BR/><BR/>God bless all of you<BR/><BR/>jacksmith - WORKING CLASS... :-)jacksmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20842722.post-85232435279232780582008-11-21T15:58:00.000-05:002008-11-21T15:58:00.000-05:00Right now, members of congress are collaborating with the insurance companies to force you and I to purchase their for-profit services. When a bunch of companies get together and say: "Yes, we'll let you pass these laws, as long as you force all the people to pay us", that's extortion. When Congress agrees to it, that's corruption! This might be the silver bullet that destroys the Democratic Party's credibility by justifying the Republican fear based campaign against them.<BR/><BR/>The premise behind this mandate is that having everyone in the pool will lower individual costs. This makes sense, but it makes even more sense to have everyone in the same pool rather than spread out among all the private for-profit pools. Keep focused on the goal of lowering costs because one of the easiest targets here is the "profit". We need to stop wasting our health care dollars on private jets for another over-paid CEO.<BR/><BR/>Ask Tom Daschle if he thinks his salary was a cost effective way to spend our health care dollars.<BR/><BR/>The push for "Universal Health Care" is very strong, and the Democrats believe they have a mandate for change. insurance companies see an opportunity chock full of dollar signs. If we sit back and let them use the momentum we built, the only change we are going to get is in the flavor of corruption.<BR/><BR/>Is this flavor of corruption the change Obama promised?<BR/><BR/>The only useful service the insurance companies provide is a place to hold our money until we need care. The other services they provide outweigh that single useful one a hundred fold. Our money is being used to pay lawyers to deny our claims, staff to reject new applicants that may not be profitable to insure. We pay for the lobbyists that compete for our representation in congress. We pay for management positions for people who have proven their ability to provide us with the least amount of service possible. Not to mention mass amounts of advertisement, high rise buildings, jets, yachts, and million dollar CEO salaries.<BR/><BR/>Ask Tom Daschle how his corporate buddies convinced him that these expenses benefit our health.<BR/><BR/>In order to keep all this under control we would need a huge number of new regulations that will only arm the Republicans with more "big government" accusations for the next round of smear campaigns, justifying even more "slippery slope" fear-mongering.<BR/><BR/>Is this the change you voted for?<BR/><BR/>All we need is a simple system to hold our money until we need care. Our democracy is very flexible and it provides us with the ability to create such a system, but the concept of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, does not work without the people.<BR/><BR/>Ask yourself if you're ready to let change become nothing more than a promise that someone else made.<BR/><BR/>I support HR 676 single payer health care, the bill has a lot of co-sponsors. These people are our allies, they need our support, and we need theirs. The bill also has a well funded fear-mongering opposition because it virtually eliminates the insurance industry.These companies have corrupted our system and are trying to take advantage of us. I think the American thing to do would be: Stick it to 'em with overwhelming force.<BR/><BR/>It is time to mobilize our forces, everything we have, every last tool.
