-————I tell this to people until I am in blue in the face-—————
I really hope you will find this link useful then.
It’s time for you to sit back and instead hit the play button.
Your message is great, that’s not the problem. But people really need to hear the words of these people.
Email this link to as many people as you can, we don’t have much time left.
People will wake up, they just need the whole story. The media won’t be doing much with this audio.
That leaves it up to you and I and other fellow conservatives to do the legwork ourselves.
To: J40000
————This poor(but honest)woman is committing political suicide.—————
I’m not sure I can agree.
Who’s gonna hear it? Fellow conservatives?
A video like this won’t be very damaging until we defeat this left wing media and can get stuff like this disseminated on a wider scale.

If America's insurance industry is destroyed, has anyone asked what happens to all those people that earn a living in the insurance industry? Has anyone asked what happens when America's health insurance providers no longer receives the estimated $1.8 trillion in premiums?
It is estimated that $580 billion annually goes to administrative costs. Much of that is jobs for people like you and me to administer health insurance. The rest goes into investments and the payment to health care providers. With money into investments, capital is available to the economy. With payments to health care providers, hospitals can employ people. This system would collapse when the private health insurance system is destroyed. The reason it would collapse is that it is a fragile, delicate system that has taken decades to evolve. It would be like replacing a piston to a car engine while it is running.
And, when the system collapses, what about all of the people who depend upon that system to work as well as it does? What happens to the jobs? What happens to the health care?

RAT Schakowsky is to the left of Zer0. This is the loon that accused the CIA of lying. She came close to comparing the GITMO guards to Nazis.
Schawkosky’s district encompasses far Chicago, Skokie and Evanston which is home to Northwestern University. She’s
in a very secure democrat district. Her radical anti-western views are well accepted.
In reality the whole of Chicago is a democrat sewer.

Correct. She is from a left district, so she can say what she wants with no consequences at the polls.

Anyone with half an understanding of economics would already know this...too bad the dems have systematically idio-fied the youth of America. People at work say “so what if he wasn’t born in the US?”.

Who will oppose Rep. Schakowsky, in 2010? I live in Northfield, which is about five miles north of her district. After the 2010 census, Illinois will probably lose a congressional district, and I might live in her district. My current congressman is Mark Kirk.
