That is the right thing to write in a letter to the editor, to your elected representatives, etc. WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR YOU?
You could write something along the lines of “as a taxpayer and your ‘employer,’ I’m having a hard time understanding why you are against the health care reforms xyz. If it’s good enough to cover you and your family, why not me and mine?” In your own words/style. Get it out there—Mag the Mick’s Open Letter to John McCain has been printed in a few AZ papers. Use the list compiled by HamletsMill and get it out there!

It seems like the time is now for health care reform.
The FSM paragraph about the gears is important and the last one is funny, but I say it is a call to action again:

AKM went to Netroots and has brought back inspiring info, HamletsMill compiled the contact list, and we should all do our part on issues that are important to us with the resources being developed here. Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Is samper out there, and if so, would you be interested in a little J. Geils Band?

lettersfromeurope thanks for the link for Ann Strongheart.I was watching for it so I could donate.saurkraut I have been to the four corners and walked about so I think I might just have hit one.This was years ago when I traveled out west and up north thru Idaho and Washington down 101 to Mexico.Did any one see the article about Sheriff Joe going off like a little dictator with anyone who dared criticize him or his department.You would be jailed or fined for any little thing they could think off.Me thinks the man is going to far now.I went along with his ,these guys are imprisoned for a reason and they should not be treated better than people on the outside where but now it seems he has gone overboard.Though some might not think so.But than Cheney thinks torture is alright but I would bet if it was done to him or his daughter he would sing a different tune,

First water fights here in Wisconsin some of the smaller cities outside of Milwaukee wanted to buy water from them,they have lake Michigan water,Yuck,and there was a big to-do about it where Milwaukee would not share with the rest of the state.So water fights are not that far out. We right now have a well and so far the area is pretty good as far as ground water is concerned. HonestinGov, I live next door to one also. i think her 22 year old son took my Obama sign cause I put it next to her McCain sign but The neighbor on the other side is an Obama supporter and others around are also because one gave me a sign and told me to put it in my window because someone kept on stealing the signs. so don’t feel alone.At least my neighbor hasn’t talked to me since last summer.samper I sent your senator a thank you note.I figure it can’t hurt and might give her confidence in this fight. I never did hear back again from my republican representative when I sent part of AKM,s article with a link to him and asked him to read it. nary a word.

Letterman just finished his monologue. The ‘ Crazy Lady ‘ is still on his radar.
Starts the joke…Starts by saying… ” Did you hear about the crazy lady that John McCain had to have removed from one of his Town Hall meetings the other day..?” ( the story was reported on Huffpo )
pause…. “Yeah… if only he had started doing that a year ago”
$arah Palin… the joke that keeps on giving. Thanks again Dave.
