Get Arrested by Baucus, Testify Before Kennedy
http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=894

"Ask that a single payer advocate testify before the Senate Finance Committee, and the chair, Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana), has you handcuffed, arrested, hauled off in a paddy wagon, and charged with criminal “disruption of Congress.”

Ask that a single payer advocate testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and the chair — Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) — invites you to testify...

No, it doesn’t make any sense.

But that’s what happened to Dr. Margaret Flowers...

Flowers is scheduled to testify with a group of yet to be identified other witnesses..."


No witness list yet on the website...

2. It's hard to buy a Senator with a reputation, and brain cancer.
Too bad it takes so long to learn the ins and outs of the Senate... we could change the system to only allow the terminally ill to serve... hard as hell to bribe them when they are liable to die at any time.

(Too grim of an analysis?)

Ohh yeah... and a hearty cheers to Teddy... :toast:

5. We'll see who is on the final witness list, if correct this is a step in
the right direction.

4. That's because Max Baucus is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Big Insurance and Big Pharma. He works for them, carries their water, serves only their needs, and doesn't even pretend to care about what real people need.

:grr:

He's the one who should be dragged away in handcuffs, for corruption and violating his oath of office.

8. Thank you...I guess a few can speak now that most of the legislation
has already been written, still I hope a few people pay attention.
