Some facts at the link about current opinion in this country. Voters support the content of healthcare reform. The individual elements of the legislation are very popular, as is the bill in total, when it is explained.

Congratulations, Mr. Pearson. You've finally made the front page of a google search for "Eric Pearson" because of the short bio I wrote at KnoxViews. You can thank me at that last link as I've stopped following this group until the health bill goes…
None of that populist rage contains any potential for legislative action that will help reform our health care system. Back up and start here http://www.whitehouse.gov/Issues/Health-Care, please stop abusing this health care discussion group for fre…
Mr. Pearson, please do go on and tell us what Tennessee legislative ACTIONS you would advocate once federal health reform is either declared unconstitutional, proven ineffective or just doesn't pass. Would you at least please cite sources for talkin…
I think I'll ignore you wherever you stand now if you don't have enough integrity to answer any questions. Just please don't physically harm yourself or others.
I've been watching this, Eric Pearson. I would LOVE for you to specifically point out any "unlawful slander" made by Mike Lawson. He quotes you extensively. Are you going to sue yourself for slander? Since you can't tell the difference between Hitle…
" The Constitution of 1787 did not make our democracy impotent. 8
In fact, in these last four years, we have made the exercise of all power more democratic; for we have begun to bring private autocratic powers into their proper subordination to the…
I realize this is an old post, but I would like to point out the futility of calling Republican Senate and Congress members in TN, and even calling the "blue dogs" as well to support health care and public option issues. Alexander's office was matte…

It's time to start calling our own Representatives. Although they are Republican, they need to hear that many of their constituents support a single-payer system or a government-insured health plan. Though we tend to think that they don't care what…
Thanks, Walton Robinson for (quickly!) setting up Paula Flowers to receive money through twitter. I just twittered the last 4 dollars in my checking account @paulaflowers, a dollar for every time I saw a headline with Robin Smith in it today.

Remember This Quote From Inaguration Speech?
...and when that promise is not a promise to us, but also a promise by us, we make our own destiny.
So let us renew this promise. This is not an oath I cannot fulfill by myself. In this country we elect leaders not to rule, but to serve. But we must all serve. Let us move forward together. Let us become a better nation.

OK, that wasn't in the speech delivered by the President. That was from a speech collaboratively drafted by the readers of… Continue

Big Thaw for Climate Bill
“Everybody thought health care was going to happen and energy was just going to sit there,” a Democratic leadership aide said.
Ed Markey said the critics and doubters on the outside weren’t aware of the progress being made behind the scenes in recent months.
“It’s down on the 10-yard line.” Story at Roll Call

Mark Brown said… - Ward is committed to continuing the work Governor Bredesen and others have done to make Tennessee a leader in the green economy. It's where the jobs are. He also understands the current economy like no other candidate in this race. We're in a reset period, which is part of the reason the 2010 elections are so crucial. We need leadership in government that can see beyond the old political paradigms.
