Beautiful letter, Loretta! If you don't mind, I would like to use parts of it in my healthcare emails.
Please forgive me, but I need to mention that there is a typo ("recluse" s.b. "recuse.") 'Just a note for those who would also cut and paste...
Thanks for sharing this. I can think of several legislators who should see parts of it!

Sure Quark, I'd be glad to have you pass it on. I wish that all of the legislators would donate the bribes they are receiving from the health insurance industry to help provide health care to those who can't afford it. That money would pay for lots of care! Thanks for catching my mistake. I appreciate it.

From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
Here's my latest letter to my esteemed Senator Ron Wyden,
Dear Senator Wyden,
Because you receive so many campaign donations from the insurance industry, I am having a hard time believing that these donations are not influencing your decision to slow down health care reform by not supporting Obama's recommended public plan.
If you would like to regain the faith of your constituents in your integrity in this issue, why not donate all of the campaign money you have received from the insurance industry to the Oregon Health Plan so that they can provide services to more Oregonians. I would like to see you do this, or if you can't part with the bribes you are receiving from the insurance industry, please recluse yourself from this decision. I feel your conflict of interest in this matter is very unethical.
Thank you for your time,
