It was McCain/Foolsgold legislation that was dealt a severe blow not the Constitution. If you have friends in Wisconsin call them and tell for Governor Tommy Thompson to run against him this year and that would be the best shot to get rid of FoolsGold.
Please read the article linked on the joint statement on the Senate Health care bill by Richard Gephardt and Thompson.
It says that the legislation is an important step towards a goal of health care reform and not reaching that goal this year is “not an acceptable option”.
And if you keep reading the article says that the democrats reached out to republican governors to look for support for their bill. Getting support from governors is more difficult because the bill will cost states more for medicare. It’s a hard sell in this economic climate.
The article further states that obtaining the endorsement of a well-known former governor will help the dems win further support and reassure moderate lawmakers that this is a bi-partisan bill.
I think Tommy Thompson needs to looked at a bit closer before jumping on the Tommy bandwagon. It’s not a minor issue. I am beginning to think that many people are not aware of his endorsement and need to be informed of such. I’m doing my best to spread the word.
