Be Heard: Tell Sen. Nelson What You Think

Supporters say that the concessions Nelson won aren’t unusual, and that any lawmaker is expected to fight for his or her state, but critics says Nelson’s support was bought. What do you think?



Sen. Ben Nelson came around to support health care reform legislation on Saturday after securing changes in restrictions for abortion coverage funding. But he also secured millions of dollars in Medicaid benefits for his state.

I'm pretty sure Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite didn't ask their viewers to spam someone's mailbox.

2. Half the people here at DU seem to be at each others throats now...
but I doubt any of us consider Fox to be news. (May be the only thing we agree on.) It is a propaganda outlet for the Repblican Party.
