Keith Olbermann to Expose Congressional
Opponents of Universal Health Care Tonight! "You saw what Sandy Barham said? Sandy Barham is 62 years old, she's got a bad heart, and she's hoping her valves will hold together for three more years until Medicaid kicks in, because she can't afford insurance. Not just for herself, mind you. For her employees. She needs the public option. So do those six people who work at that restaurant of hers, Congressman Ross. "And why should you give a crap? Because
Sandy Barham's restaurant is the Broadway Railroad Café,
and it is at 123 West First Street North in Prescott, Arkansas.
Prescott, Arkansas, Congressman Ross. Your home town. You are
Sandy Barham's congressman. Hers, Sir. Not Blue Cross's and Blue
Shield's, even if they do insure 75 percent of the state and
they own you." "That's a bald-faced lie, Senator.
And you're a bald-faced liar, whose bald face is covered by…
your own health care plan run by government bureaucrats."

College Democrats of Wisconsin News & Notes Hello, Democrats! I hope the summer is treating you well. The reason for this message is threefold. 01. To inform everyone that CDW Chair Analiese Eicher was elected Membership Director of the College Democrats of America at this year's CDA conference. Congratulations to Analiese! 02. To let everyone know that the CDW website is being designed as I type this. UW-L College Dem Steve Londre has been working on some template designs and we hope to have our new site up by the time school rolls around. The templates look phenominal and CDW is in good hands with Steve. 03. To encourage everyone to check out CDW on Twitter. With the website being worked on, I can start using our Twitter account as a way to keep in touch with everyone on news and notes pertaining to the College Democrats of Wisconsin and to the Democratic Party in general. As always, if you have any concerns, feel free to message me on Facebook, e-mail me at millerpa@uwec.edu or call me at 920.246.0441. Paydon Miller |
