If your Congress Critter isn't a co-sponsor, write them and ask them to support this as a co-sponsor.
Comment from poster, Yosemitest: I recommend you open these video links from youtube.com in a separate window and reduce its size to view just the videos.
Sorry everyone, I just didn't have the energy to transcribe the whole show.
But if someone has the technology to do it and post it below, I request you do it, for all of these videos.

So you tell me which one looked like a real MOB?
The DNC's definition of a MOB.
This bill is one that needs to be passed. Bad!
Yes wonder what Obama has to say about this lets get that radical Marxist on the record soon.... MSM crickets chirp since that don’t want to upset that tingly feeling Obama gives them.
May it pass into law!!! No more circumventing the checks and balances of our Constitution by either party!!!
Good to see it. Do not expect Dem support. They love CZARS who can trump without scrutiny anything that comes out of Congress anyway at Obamas’ direction or with phone call approval.
Obama has already stated to the Congress that he can do what he wants with signing orders.
Hurricane Bill missed the mainland. Maybe this one will hit.
Pelosi will try to bury this in deep ground. Btw, any bi-partisan support for this?
She probably will, but if the republicans have any brains, they will introduce one of these bills once a week just to increase general public awareness of what's going on in this government. As the liberals were relentlessly attacking the right throughout the last 8 years, the right has PLENTY of ammo with which to attack the hard left now. The centrists among the population are already getting frustrated with the democrats.
Ask them if they’ve ever heard of that Constitution that they swore to uphold and defend?
about time

This bill was introduced six weeks ago. How much has it raised "general public awareness?" The Party Propaganda Ministry (formerly known as the media) will never cover this. They must protect their anointed leader.
The Republicans need to introduce this as an amendment and try to attach it to every piece of legislation the Dems put on the floor. That still probably won't register with AP (Approved Propaganda) and the other Propaganda Minstry outlets.

I doubt it. And how would we know? The only bipartisanship I've seen so far this year is the bipartisan opposition to the Health Care Reform bill. There are both Dems and Republicans opposed to that bill, and especially opposed to the "public option" government run insurance.
But, even Fox News repeats the Propaganda Ministry line that it's Republicans holding up that bill. They conveniently ignore the fact that Dems could pass this themselves with no Republican votes. The reason that hasn't happened is because not all Dems support it. In the Senate, that means they can't break a filibuster, even though there are 60 Dems in the Senate. I don't think that even Snowe and Collins are enough to break the filibuster. I think there are a half dozen (maybe even a dozen) Dems in the Senate that are worried about 2010 and won't go for a public option and a trillion dollar price tag.
Good point - with the media strongly on Obambi's side, it's nearly impossible for the Republicans (or at least those that actually try) to get the message out.
Thank you AV. Realizing I'm late to this little party my first thoughts in regard to all these czars was where are the so-called republicans and are these power czars Constitutional?
headed by an individual who has been inappropriately appointed to such position
If they have been inappropriately appointed why are they not making calls to remove them, as opposed to legislation to regulate where their salaries come from?
