42. EASY, but corporately contentious! Get RID of the fillibuster and then pass REAL reform!
Edited on Sun Jan-10-10 10:11 AM by cascadiance
But of course, the lobbyists won't let us get away with that with the system we have.

Now if Obama doesn't want to be viewed as complicit, and feels he has to "compromise" HCR to the point it is now to get something passed, then he HAS to put out as public agenda that the next item of business will be to pass public campaign finance reform! REAL public campaign finance reform, not dumbed down crap that we have in place now!

Otherwise, he is part of the tumor that still is the cancer that is killing this country.

Rethugs *warned* us of the nuclear option to get through their judge appointments. It is time we did the same thing to get our legislation through, otherwise I question their real commitment.
