I can't believe real Americans believe that heath care is a luxury that only the rich (or the people in congress) should be able to afford. I have worked for 30 years and have recently
been laid off, now because I have asthma, I can not get affordable health care. I hope I do not have to move to Canada, because I love this country. What is wrong with the right wing Republicans in this country. We can send all our money to Iraq, but we can't take care of our own. Quit trying to scare the heck out of seniors.... Medicare is the best.... I can hardly wait til I can sign up, 10 years to go!

Hello, I have heard about your organization on cable news and am praying that you have the resources to put an end to this. Attached is a copy of my e-mail to AARP and their canned response. They certainly don't work for their members. What can we do to stop the insanity? I hope your group can offer answers. We need help.
Sincerely, Mikki Mayhew Bonner

It is utterly amazing that CNN has no oporblem airing this lying piece of shit of an anti-health care ad (Via TPM): But, they have issues with airing a truthful ad calling out an Insurance company executive from American's United for Change: “CNN refusal to air an ad by American’s United for Change attacking the health Insurance Industry’s opposition to health insurance reform is outrageous. As a news organization CNN has reported how the health care industry, including CIGNA, is fighting key platforms of President Obama’s health insurance reform program. CNN should stop censoring television ads that criticize health insurers for obstructing real health care reform.” Sign the petition HERE. Or, this ad truthful ad about Birther Nutter in Chief, Lou Dobbs, from that Media Matters?: Ad Calling Out Lou Dobbs' Birtherism Won't Run On CNN (from HuffPo): The prospect of an anti-Dobbs ad running during Dobbs' own show had created quite a lot of buzz in the blogosphere. But now a source at Media Matters says that cable providers have refused to let it run on CNN -- for all but a portion of the New York viewing audience. According to the Media Matters official, five of the six cable providers contracted for the project have informed the group that they are declining to put the spot on CNN. All of them will air the ad on Fox News and MSNBC. In New York City, the cable provider ViaMedia will air the ad, though the company is a relatively small player in the city. Time Warner will air the Media Matters spot in New York, both on MSNBC and Fox News but not on CNN. Noting that the ad buy was local, a spokesperson for CNN was straightforward in stating that the network objected to the ad's airing. "CNN retains the right to object to any ad run by the cable operator on our network whose purpose is to attack CNN or our employees," the spokesperson said. var addthis_pub="thejoshuablog";
