Got my letter and check from Sibelius today. It's vote-buying, straight up. It just reminded me of the insanely high drug costs and the huge amount I have yet to pay out of pocket this year. I'm going to have to go without some prescriptions for the rest of the year when I run out of my present supply.

I don't want taxpayer subsidies -- I demand some rational price structure for pharmaceuticals.

I think anyone getting those checks should contribute to those running against dems in November, except no incumbents!!! Split it up and spread it out AND let the WH know what you are doing with it. I have yet to see a check or a letter but if I’m in the mix, that’s what I intend to do......AND with my husband’s.....I’ll be kind enough to let him know what I decided to do with his....I’m considerate that way!!!

I didn’t get ma’ chek yet, but when ah do, I’m giving it direkkly to a Republican candidate. Now, ‘course in a non-election year I would buy 250 Powerball tickets, take the winnings and buy me some democrats already in congress. They come pretty cheap, I hear.
