I mean, we all pretty much agree it's a bad thing. that there shouldn't be this exemption. the correct thing to do is make sure they do it yeah, and give em credit for it sure, but don't let them use it at all during health care. Keep this in your pocket for when they try to seem "Liberal" then smack em with it. But just because it's not a big deal right now doesn't mean we shouldn't do something good. Hell even if you're a Libertarian you should be OK with it because you're against redundant laws.

If they've proved one thing over the last thirty years it's that they can NOT be trusted. BUT, how about a one second pause for the briefest of "hear-hears" for getting to this point? It's a very tough road ahead to effecting a STRONG Bill (meaning substantive change). YOU, JANE & TEAM DESERVE A LOT OF THANKS! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
