2. I'm sure I heard Rachel agreeing to an invitation
Only Rachel and Ed Shultz will cover this for us on a Saturday. M$NBComcast doesn't like to interrupt Lock Up for real news unless someone dies or it's from overseas.

14. In my six years of living in Texas, the best I came away with was
Molly Ivins, Ann Richards, and Jim Hightower. Hightower speaks to me and for me!

19. I know he was chastised and warned when he was holding out
for better provisions in health care. So I was wondering if the party elite would loosen the chain a little bit.

20. Oh, OK, now I understand your comment. I was completely out of the

17. Me too! I can't get enough information about the actions being taken.
I would have a much better feel for the compassion if I were there in person.

18. Love the old Irish saying - Is this fight private or can anyone
join in? That is one positive thing about this takeover of what is left of our rights, and that is that we can all join the fight.

27. I got my Hightower email when he announced this and I was
really happy, because I am heading up to Madison tomorrow. My sister lives there and it's been a while since I have been.
I hope to catch him there!
