The only problem is that we can't seem to graduate any Americans with high level engineering degrees, and other degrees in science and technology that are highly sought by American (or should I say "International") corporations. Heck, we have a big enough problem getting American kids to graduate from high school these days. Until we make education a priority again, the H1B and other visas will continue to flow and even increase in number.

God has nothing to do with any government. These are man-made institutions (and subject to change).

Joan, Joan, Joan, keep telling yourself that...if it makes you feel better.

Ignore her, Pat. She's a badly disguised Sarah Palin with nothing better to do than run her ignorant ass mouth.

Donna, if you think this heatlh bill is "socialist" you obviously haven't read the thing. It is actually quite the opposite. The private insurance industry would make HUGE money if this thing passes into law by way of mandatory premiums and subsidies. Free Enterprise? Are you kidding me? If there were free enterprise, there would be choices for... See More working families. The insurance companies have paid off politicians to rid the market of competition. Now they've paid them off to disguise forced premium increases as a "public option" that isn't "public" at all.

I just called.

I have already called my Representative, Henry Cuellar, to let him know that I'm 100% for single payer Health Care Reform that includes a Public Option. The response was very friendly and courteous. I believe that Rep. Cuellar will vote in behalf of the American people--Yea!

Donna Marie Os, get off our AFL-CIO page.

You and people like you are sickening!

Who snuffed out the economy? Please be honest. Bush and his allies in Congress did this to us. I wonder what your philosophy really is.

Bush started it, Obama is continuing it, and who in the world knows how all this will end?

Tort reform has done no good in Texas, premiums still going up and we still have the highest percentage of uninsured in America. Put the whole damn country on Medicare and pay for it with the money going to private premiums from our employers right now. These bills will lead us all into bankruptcy by mandating we pay premiums for very high ... See Moredeductible insurance plans. Who in hell making 43 grand a year with a family can afford 175 of their income going to an insurance premium at this time. Our union leadership has sold us out for personal gain once again.

I love how conservatives pretend to love the Constitution, but are so quick to deprive American citizens the right to a trial by jury.

Sign this petition for a strong public option http://bit.ly/public_option

Did that but it is a mistake to think that any of our representatives are afraid of how we may vote. anybody we would elect would toe the line or be gone very quick.

Hey...don't be so nasty! Everybody knows that Republicans support the minimum wage. The more minimum the better, that is.

Okay...I stole that line from Harry Truman. Feel free to use it. It's public domain.
