Dean Group Helping Bennet

[ccharles000]

A week after Pres. Obama raised money for him at 2 receptions in Denver, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) is getting fundraising help from ex-VT Gov. Howard Dean's (D) political wing.

Democracy for America, the extension of Dean's '04 WH campaign, is asking backers of a public health care option to give to Bennet's campaign after Bennet spearheaded a new push for the controversial proposal.

Last week, Bennet penned a letter supporting using reconciliation to breathe new life into the public option. Bennet, who faces a primary challenge from ex-CO House Speaker Andrew Romanoff (D) before what promises to be a competitive race against the eventual GOP nominee, has gathered support from 20 senators, including Sens. Arlen Specter (D-PA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

DFA also hailed Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid, who signaled his support for using budget reconciliation to get around GOP opposition to a public option.

1. They sent me an email asking for a donation I don't

usually give to those things but this was going to go directly to Bennett so I kicked in a little bit. Couldn't afford much.

The thing is I have excellent insurance along with medicare I have BC/BS and between I have no problem. (I also have prescription with my retirement insurance) But I get so damn mad when I see them pussy footing around with all the people who need insurance and don't have it.

My BC/BS is even going to pay for a wig to cover this old bald head. I had a shinning glory of white hair with golden highlights. And as it is all just falling out I am saving it to see what it looks like it it comes back in. So you see I have affordable and good coverage. I wish to God all Americans had this. It is an affront of the people of this country they way the senators are acting about passing this bill. If things would go the way they should, the real Americans would vote the damn deadwood right the heck out of office.
