Hi, WiseGuy!
Did you happen to vote Democratic in the last election? None of my business, but I am not being a poop about this, but DAM_ what were people thinking!! This guy is a piece of work. It's way beyond scary, anymore. It's frightening! Our whole state is wrapped up in this Stupid movement. What are they going to do next for goodness sake. It just makes me sick. Our property taxes doubled two years ago, school referendum (Lafayette County). Madison schools hit too, and every one from Monroe to Madison and beyond. They sort of forget that we're already maxed out, and they go for more when they think we must've forgot! My husband is retired (law enforcement) 9 years ago, had to go back to work. I have no health insurance, good thing I'm healthy. (More now than before I quit analogs!) I work my behind off and we still have no "comfort" zone, always something. What do our elderly people do, try to live in their homes, or just pack it in to nursing homes, what! Yes, I really am scared. For us, and for our kids coming up, buying homes, kids in school...cars, maintainance, insurance..go to College??

It's a little odd to be blaming the last election for things that happened two years ago, isn't it?
Personally, I think things are moving in the right direction for the first time in nearly 20 years.

You know, if this does get passed it's going to be darn tempting to light up analogs in non-smoking areas because, after all, it's FDA approved!
I couldnt help myself. I called the American Lung Association D.C. office (212-315-8700) and thanked them for pushing for FDA approval of cigarettes because it's about time somebody stood up and dispelled the lies about smoking causing lung cancer and second hand smoke being dangerous.

...Can I borrow that line?
wow that is really good...we shoudl all call...still looking for twitter info...listening in today and they are talking about the health care...so we shall see if they/what they say about the bill
You are my hero. The internet is amazing thing, what would happen if we flood the lines thanking them for 'forcing' us back to cigarettes? ^.^
*laf* I think everyone should call not only the senators in favor of the bill but also places like the american lung assoc and do just that.
So thursday is the day eh?
Edit: They voted on whether or not to proceed. I think...lol

What did he say, just caught the end. Probably the same '400k' 'Historical Moment' 'Bipartisan yada yada yada'
he was mainly complaining about republicans causing huge delays in govt actions (making it take a long time for nationalized health care, tobacco bill, etc)
ok today they just made a vote to say yes tomorrow they will vote...and there would be no more talking today about it
Right. It was a vote 67-30 in favor to end debates on the Tobacco Regulations bill H.R. 1256
Basically, the fat lady is singing .. but they haven't turned on the mike yet.
Guess there's not much chance of the fat lady losing her voice before the mike gets turned on huh?
