That status post on Facebook today should be
plastered on every forum we visit. Let's get busy.



No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this for the rest of the day.

2. This has been stirring some debate on my network of friends!
It is very simple. It needs to be the mantra of the left in this argument. Not only does it get the point across simply and succinctly, it frames it as the moral issue that it is.

We need this. When the right tries to argue against it they are forced to admit the cruelty of their position.

3. I love seeing all of my friends with this status.
It makes me really happy.

And somewhat resentful towards my less politically inclined friends.

8. This has been so cool!
One of my RW friends... yeah, I know... he's really smart, and I adore him and his lovely wife.

He posted it too!!! He totally agrees!!! But he offered one caveat... he doesn't like how we are going about it... so I've asked the magic question... what would you suggest we do?

I keep telling him we really do want the same things, but he argues that point.

He's the same age as my oldest son... I sort of adopted him, in a cyber kind of way:)

Hey, he loves the Blue Oyster Cult! He can't be all bad! LOL!

10. I am not entirely clear what the PURPOSE of a Facebook account is, but
I opened one and my first post was the above comment re healthcare.

I have no idea how to make it my "status".

12. Scroll up to the top
Where it says "What's on your mind?" -- paste or type that text in, and hit the "Share" button.

19. You did it right. Now if you click on your name in the blue bar,
to go to your page, you'll see those words next to your name at the very top. It's referred to as a status even though it's not labeled that anywhere.

13. Go to your profile section.
At the top is a section to input a status comment.
