Organized day for health care discussion on blogosphere?

I was reading a favorite blog and the writer posted something about the Dems' health care proposal, and how in it the elderly would be required to discuss end of life issues every five years (among many other issues to contend with). Obviously, this should concern people but it might get buried along with the many issues Dems are fielding at the moment.

See story: http://grimbeorn.blogspot.com/

That got me thinking, what if we all wrote to our favorite blogs and asked them to participate in an organized day of discussion about health care on their sites? They of course would pick what angle they would discuss, but there would be a smorgasbord of new issues raised. The beauty of the blogosphere is that there is organic coverage of any issue someone wants to raise. But there is also value in coordinating a discussion; the MSM is the Dems' corner and the discussion will never be fully vetted without some show of unity (a.k.a. doing it yourself). We have a better chance of issues being addressed if there is a vibe of outrage/concern out there.

Could we choose a date about a week off, and everyone write to their favorite right-leaning blogs, and ask them to do a piece on health care - from their perspective - on a particular date? That way, at least there is some traction out there. Would everyone participate in writing to their favorite blogs? Does anyone have any feedback? Suggestions are welcome.

The blogosphere has long operated as a response to the MSM. I think there is value is co-opting their shtick and setting the agenda for discussion ourselves, if only periodically.

Remember the campaign promise to the effect that the first signing would be FOCA?

Is it just possible that the great push for health care legislation by August (without Congress, perhaps, even reading the bill) is really about satisfying the Far Left with a back-door FOCA move? If so, the pro-life blogs certainly should expose such an agenda.
