And I’m angry. I wish I had the option of someday moving back, but that’s out of the question as long as there isn’t a sane health care system.

SharonLynch, thank you for sharing your experiences. I’m looking forward to hearing more about possible primary challenges!

It takes guts to deconstruct and dismantle a twenty-five trillion dollar misadventure in health insurance deregulation that has utterly failed to provide anything more than soaring profit for corporations (and millions of dollars in campaign contributions) through misrepresentation – recission and purging used whenever necessary.

They changed the rules when they needed to gouge us for more profit. YOU, CONGRESSMAN WEINER, can change the rules to BAN MURDER BY SPREADSHEET. Please do it!

Show us what it means to truly support the middle class and those struggling to make it!

I know everybody who knows anything in the whole world already knows all this stuff. These columns read like insider talk. But unless constituents like me, who have congresscritters on your lists, understand what bill numbers and which amendments to talk to them about, it won’t happen.

Sorry, but you’re opaque going back a few days at least.

I mean, a public option doesn’t mean something else in the bill couldn’t ruin it.

i think nadler’s heart is in the right place, but from what i have seen he is not willing to step out in front when there is political risk involved. he introduced 455 to get us out of iraq, but then has voted twice for supplementals. he agreed with us on impeachment, but wasn’t willing to buck the democratic party and move forward with it. he has been outspoken on prosecution and introduced state secrets legislation, but i haven’t seen anything substantive coming from it. he may be waiting for the opr report and feinstein’s investigation like many others.

gregg levine, i hope you do primary jerry nadler. an associate did last year – on impeachment – and while canvassing for him, i learned a lot about the district and what people think about jerry nadler. he is well respected by many and others take it for granted that he will do the right thing. but there is a large contingent of people who are disappointed and think that he has become too comfortable in his seat and needs to be more proactive. we launched the campaign with very little money, but received fairly significant contributions which was very telling. nadler’s office went to the effort and expense to challenge our signatures which was also very telling. in the end the candidate, adam sullivan, had to withdraw because of a strategic error made when he agreed to run – he had not changed his voter registration to democrat early enough to qualify for a democratic primary. if you are at all serious, make the change by at least a year in advance.
