ON THE SPIRITS AND INHABITANTS OF THE MOON.....

Hi, I'm the public health insurance option. People have been saying all sorts of untrue things about me lately, so I decided it was time to stand up and set the record straight. First off: the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I'm happy and healthy. And I'm proud to play a starring role in four of the five health reform bills currently on the table. Second: I have a lot of friends. President Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi support me—as do 77% of the American people.1 In fact, I'm feeling pretty popular. But there is one area where I could use your help. Your senator, Pat Roberts, sits on the Senate Finance Committee, which is considering a "trigger" proposal that could kill me through indefinite delay.
Can you call Sen. Roberts and tell him that real health care reform must include a real public health insurance option that's available immediately? Here's where to call: Senator Pat Roberts Phone: 202-224-4774

As Senator Charles Schumer has pointed out, "any reasonable criteria for triggering a public plan has already been met" because insurance companies have already failed to rein in costs and expand coverage.2 Here are some other things you might not know about me: I like candlelit dinners, overseas travel, and long walks on the beach. Whoops, sorry—wrong email. Some people say they don't like me because I'm too expensive, but that's just a flat-out lie. Keeping me around will actually save money—I'd cost 10% less than the typical private plan.3
I'm the best way to keep insurance companies honest. Like my friend Senator Jay Rockefeller has said, "Without the steady, positive influence of a public plan option in the marketplace, we will never truly solve the health care crisis in this country. Private health insurance has a long history of cutting people off or charging too much for too little."4
Over 60 House progressives have publicly pledged to only vote for a bill that has me in it.5 So without me, health care reform doesn't have enough votes make it through Congress. And I'm counting on your help to make it through the Senate. Can you call Sen. Roberts today? Senator Pat Roberts Phone: 202-224-4774

We're entirely funded by our 5 million members—no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. Chip in here.
Wallets mean nothing. Money is meaningless and materialistic.
The dragon fly is the dragon in Revelation.
I rest my case.
Genesis 7:4
For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."
Very sneaky.
are you for real or just pulling a fast one?
Do they respond with meds if you press the call button? If so, gun that sucker. Seriously.
“Show Context”
Is God asking you to say something in “context” to address things that you are just mindlessly spewing?
I’m sure Satan can also spew scripture verses.
In fact, it may be a ploy he would use to cause followers of Christ to be deemed insane by the non-believers.
Thanks for clearing up that glitch.
[I thought maybe I’d had a stroke]

.....just like a stinkin' lefty would carry a vulgar sign at a rally for a conservative cause to marginalize the attendees or paint a swastika at a 'rats HQ and then blame it on a "racist" conservative.
Exactly.
Was this on NASA TV or the police scanner?
Damn, ya beat me.
Oh, and, yes, loose your ego!
LOL... OK then you should pass the socialized medicine very easily if 77% of Americans support it. Liberals are shameless liars.
Right after I stune my beeber.
LMAO, loved the pic you posted earlier!
I am revealing the process on my facebook image gallery Dave Smith. Look also at my wall postings.
