Hate Mongers attempt to follow me on Twitter

I have made it no secret I am for a public option and support President Obama's health care reform plan. I have blogged on it and used my Twitter (Twitter/nkbe) account to continuously promote this action, joining many others in this cause. I don't know why I am still amazed at the agression of the minority who espouse lies and fear mongering to get Obama's plan defeated; but I am still amazed. I almost wish those of us for the bill had more gumption and less apathy in this matter.

If you watched Senator Kennedy's memorial and burial service, you would have heard Republicans speeches on what they admired most about this Senator: His ability to reach across the isle and get things done. Yet less than 24 hours after Kennedy's burial, the Republican Congress was out in full force espousing lies about the health reform bill. They need to be removed from Congress because all they care about is their own personal gain (in my opinion). They seem to want to do and say anything to have the President fail. If the President fails, we all fail. President Obama inherited this mess. It will take more than 6 months to fix the crap President Bush got us into not to mention the greed of Wall Street and banks.

Where are you people? Do you not have a voice? You better speak now because we are in danger of losing help we desperately need for our citzenry. I contact Maryland Congress people yesterday to tell them to make health reform happen, particularly the public option. As I said in a previous blog: managed care insurers want their say; want to make millions and billions of dollars at our health needs. We need an option!

Today, the Christian Coalition wanted to follow me on Twitter. Their goal: defeat health care reform and more. Can they not read? do they not see I am for it or are they trying to defeat my voice? I blocked them but I fear their efforts will attempt to defeat my voice.

Now is the time: here is the link to all of Congressional emails: http://www.webslingerz.com/jhoffman/congress-email.html

What are you waiting for? 57% of those polled want the entire Congress replaced. I want most of them replaced. We can make a difference here. Make your voice heard. do it NOW.

RIP Senator Ted Kennedy; Keep Hope Alive for Healthcare Reform

Sad news this morning: Senator Edward Kennedy has lost his battle with the Glioma, cancer of the brain. A tragic end to a life filled with both tragedy and good. I choose to remember the good. Yes, the Chappaquiddick incident is still constantly brought to the forefront. But he paid his dues. He did good and he was a champion for people. Maybe the bad that happened brought out the best in him. Maybe his good and commitment to good came about as repentance. Whatever, he was the head of a family that felt more tragic events that any family should.



Now, with Eunice gone, there is no other leader to this family. Now, with health care reform being badgered by Senators who may not have had such public misdeeds, but as vile as anything you can imagine by taking money from health insurers and fighting with such vengeance and lies to stop healthcare reform. Now we are left with many Senators who will stop at nothing to get their own ways; to assassinate health reform; to kill a new President's goals that are needed for this county. Maybe as a tribute to Senator Kennedy, we ought to vote out those who choose their own personal goals ahead of the good of the country and its people.



Whatever you think of Senator Kennedy, you must see that for decades, he changed his life and improved ours. I fear health care reform in this year may be stalled by his loss. I hope not. But I urge you to please contact all congress leaders to promote healthcare reform. Not as a tribute to Senator Kennedy, though a tribute it would certainly be, but for all of us, all of us. Don't believe those people who push their own interests over ours.

Kennedy got between 300-500 bills that help each and every one of us. Have a child that needs more help in school? Think of Title 9; So much that is too much for this blog.

For the Kennedy family, I wish them peace. Keep hope alive; let the dream of health care coverage for all human beings live on.
