Just when I thought we had witnessed the demise of investigative journalism, a fresh new voice appears on the scene. Or should I say "old" voice. Who would have thought we'd be singing the praises of Rolling Stone magazine for its dogged reporting after all these years?
Get the facts on the orchestrated campaign to stop health care reform. You won't believe who's behind it ... or maybe you will.

A bipartisian bill that would require 72 hours between final markup and voting on a bill. This would allow the American public to look at the bill. It has been shot down in committee many times by the Democratic leadership.
President Obama promised us transparency. Wouldn't this be the best way to expose all the "lies"?
Why don't the Democratic leadership want us to read the bill?
Help Obama's actions match his promises.... TRANSPARECY PLEASE!
Luntz was a pollster for Newt Gingrich's Contract with America and crafted the Republican playbook on global warming.
"To head Americans for Prosperity, the brothers tapped Tim Phillips, one of the Republican Party's most notorious dirty tricksters. Phillips served as a strategic consultant to George W. Bush in 2000 and reputedly took part in the smear campaign in South Carolina that portrayed John McCain's adopted daughter as his mulatto love child. That same year, Phillips was linked to a nearly identical smear campaign in Virginia that portrayed the primary opponent of Rep. Eric Cantor — a Jew — as the "only Christian in the contest." Under Phillips, AFP became a driving force behind the Tea Party protests against Obama's economic stimulus plan, and the group organized the Austin mob that attacked Rep. Doggett."
We're fine with health care reform but just not THIS health care reform.
If you do, then state the Constitutional Authority for it that doesn't also include a national car program, a national house program, and by extension anything else that somebody decides is important, needed, or a 'right'.
1) Requirement to get insurance
2) Tort reform
3) Require any employer to cover any employee

To put that number in perspective: a 2007 Associated Press/Ipsos poll found that 34% of Americans believe in UFOs. (source: Media Matters)
So why is it then, that today the Senate Finance Committee shot down two amendments that would allow for the public option? I refer you back to the above article. Follow the money.
brainstorm for healthcare
Scott did all sorts illicit B S in his attempt to defraud the government, Medicaid, Medicare and such. He would go into a BIG city, buy up ALL hospitals and close all save for one to manipulate supply and demand. Who cares if a patient DIED as the ambulance raced past a closed Hospital!
This piece of shit belongs in prison even if he did pay billions in fines!!!
He would up code the bill to maximize profits.
And he calls his Org “Conservatives for Patients Rights” a better name would be conservatives for patients nest egg.
Conservatives who care about anybody’s rights!! You gots to be freaking kidding me!!!!!!
In assessing this country and its citizens, the biggest disappointment is that trash talks and reason walks.
