1. Are you kidding me?

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to ozoneranger's topic in Activism

   Good points, heron. There will always be needy children & adults in our society, and there must be ways to address their needs. I don't think you're arguing that any of the nurses on this post lack compassion. But what is at issue is 'who' me...

   Sorry your feeling tired, HM2Viking. An umbilical cord to DC is not the way most Americans want to live their lives. Imaginative twist of words (I like it), but it ain't faux.

3. Are you kidding me?

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to ozoneranger's topic in Activism

   Pure & simple... the Feds have gotten WAY too intrusive. The Health Care cost reform debate has just underlined what (for some) was a vague uneasiness. It has escalated for decades, well beyond what it needs to. Imagine -- we don't even bat...

   Absolutely, ozoneranger. This is just one aspect of HR3200 that I cannot trust. This bill is full of social engineering.

5. Town Hall Confrontation Re: Health Care ( or lack of it )

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to fat cat's topic in Activism

   Rank-and-file' Americans are not 'practiced' in Town Hall forums, nor even interfacing with their representatives. They work, shrug their shoulders at Dems or Repubs, and go back to what they believe is really important. But the runaway govt spending...

6. Obama's health plan takes shape

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

   You & I (& most Americans) agree there should be health care cost reform. As you say, it contributes to bankruptcies, it is escalating, etc. You & I disagree that it should be the US government to rectify the problem. There is 'no free ...

   ukrninusa -- bush is not my favorite president, but he is not the demon that many cast him to be. after kuwait was invaded by hussein, iraq was not to develop nukes. but hussein thumbed his nose at the un verifiers for years. i've been curious whethe...

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

   interesting perspective, hm2viking. too lofty for me. give me 'the land of the free and the home of the brave'. and i don't cotton to either democrat or republican -- so their respective track records are superfluous. [color=#993300]"government bodie...

   WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

   Thanks, laborer. Health insurance needs reformed. (I'd love to replace it with HSA's). But the Feds have proved they cannot manage our money -- only take it. Quite a conundrum.

    WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

    I agree, HM2Viking.... it is hypocritical to disparage this new govt entitlement program whilst holding your own hand out. Let's d/c Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP AND the Public Option. Maintain tax-relief to beef up our charitable insti...

    WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

    Thanks for sharing this site, laborer. I'd never seen it -- you could 'mine this thing for gold nuggets' for a long time! For example, I would have thought the big ticket 2008 Presidential campaign suppporters would have been the typical USA power br...

    Hi, UKRNinUSA! I'm just a woiking goil - RN for 35 years, predominantly in Critical Care and Home Health. I've been meaning to ask you -- (which may be asking the obvious): are you from the UK? If so, how long have you worked in the US, and what a...

    WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

    This meeting was in Dickson TN. The District's Rep (John Tanner) had a 'schedule conflict' -- so it was videotaped & will be presented to him to view when it's more convenient for him. There were a couple of TN State legislators present. [For...

    WORKINGWOMANINTN replied to blue note's topic in Activism

    I attended a Town Hall meeting last night. Nothing loud or unruly about it -- but LOTS of American citizens voicing concern about the way the federal government is going beyond their Constitutional authority. It was standing room only for 2 hours. Pl...
