He lies in this video saying that nobody advocating single payer has tried to meet with him. PNHP and other groups including constituents from his very district have been tryign to meet with him for over two years and even picketed outside his office and hand delivered an information packet on HR-676.

2. Excellent attempt...

I see everyone tried to remind him that he was put into office by who he's to represent.

There's no escaping here...

10. John Russell Faxed Rangel His Single Payer Plan Yesterday!

He has the information NOW lets let go of those lobbyist ties that bind us. c'mon Charlie you've been on the Corporate dole/gravytrain for years... Do something for the people for once!

12. Is there not one member of the committee who hasn't been on the dole?

Nevermind, I know the answer.

Tsongas was right when he said campaign finance reform is the biggest issue (circa 1992). Can you imagine the things we could be DOING by this time if we didn't have our whores in congress with their pockets filled of the lobby?


Come Charlie, and come the hell on America.

4. Haha.....Rangel looks like a mafia-don.......

the only difference is that when a mafia-don said "call my office" and we'll "take care of it" ~ they DID (might have been illegal, mebbe not, but IT WAS DONE....*sigh*).

NOW, Reps say, "call my office" and what REALLY happens is that one is put on a "continuous I'll ignore you, while making you BELIEVE that we're really listening to you" loop. Citizens have become the "nagging wife" (who is correct) that will be summarily dismissed and ignored.

5. Sleazy characters like that need to go!

He lies for a living. Simple as that. A creation of his contributors and speech writers, he has no personality, no convictions. How many others are like him? They all need to go!

6. We are the change we voted for in November

Health Care Reform is critical. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=62 In E. TN and SWVA clearly Profit Care is more important than Patient Care.

He is for sale to the highest bidder. (always)
