MATHEWS -WHERE ARE THE PROTESTORS FOR HEALTHCARE?
I was watching Chris Mathews just now, and he was asking why the left wing protestors aren't in the streets giving support for Healthcare? We need a "march on Washington" to show our support. Does anyone know any organizers who can get this going? We need to do this before congress comes back from their vacation.

1. AT WORK! Can't take time off for fear of being fired
and losing what group coverage there is... or the roof over their heads.

Where is M$M covering what we ARE able to do and still stay employeed?

5. Screw tea-baggin'. I think we need a colostomy baggin' demonstration.
If that doesn't get Tweety and Co.'s attention, we'll know we're doomed.

7. Almost 70 million protested back in November
OK - health care wasn't the only reason those 70 million protested, but I feel like the American people have voiced their opinion on which way they want this country to move in the most powerful way possible.
