And what are you uprising against?? People leading this uprising are the sames ones that are saying “Keep your government hands of my Medicare!” (hint… its already government controlled).

What I like about the current plan (HR 3200):

Cheap option for those who are unemployed and can’t afford Cobra and for those where its not offered.

Exemption for small businesses.

What I don’t like -
Establish an exchange to act as front end for insurance plans. Why can’t I just go direct.

Overseer to act as a Quality monitor. This is well-intended but the SEC (another such “quality monitor”) let Bernie Meadoff live large for many years before he got caught.

Just my thoughts. Anyone care to add?

There is a little law breaking going on with this White House request it steams from the Nixon years and gathering of information on protesters. It seems the Obama administration needs to get lawyers who know the law.

Google: USC 552 A

Basic read: Government cannot collect, gather or store information about its citizens actions regarding 1st Amendment.

Opps! The White House by law must store all emails.

(7) maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity;

I can see why the Whitehouse did this, but it does come off as McCarthy-istic.
As for the townhalls, I give it a 50-50 split. Some of the videos show stupid smack downs. Some show some interesting discourse. The end result is that viideos that show people enraged get more play and attention. The woman interrupting a speech by singing “God Bless America” (one of my favorite songs) was a beaut. Can’t tell me she came to give her ideas on healthcare.

But of course. No one is allowed to question or condemn the spending, or the ideas, that are coming out of this administration. You are either a racist, a kind of terrorist, or whatever the phrase of the day is.

Look at the Town Hall meetings on healthcare. The American people are standing up and saying HELL NO! And what is this administration doing? “Oh well, those people are planted by conservative groups…Americans really want this.” Meanwhile EVERY damn poll out there shows 5 out of 6 Americans like their healthcare the way it is, and 4 out of those 5 say they REALLY like their healthcare as it is.

Somehow the dems aren’t grasping the concept that they are pis$ing off the masses.

For a good laugh…read this… http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/08/gop_upset_victory_in_delaware.html

The GOP candidate took a seat, that the dems have held for 40 years, away in a landslide victory. Joe Booth (R) won by 60% of the vote, 30% over the dem candidate, in a heavily dem area.

Looks like people are waking up, where will the apologists be then? Back to griping when they should have been griping about THEIR man all along.
