Stupid f^(+ing Senate Majority 'Leader' Harry Reid (Dumb@ss-Nev.) said he's in no hurry to help the sick and dying Americans who look up to Congress to lead us out of this national emergency:
"I had a meeting last Monday with a number of consultants. They all said, 'Get off this exact date. The American people don't care about exact dates. All they want is something to get done.' So I listened to them," Reid told a handful of reporters after a press briefing.

You know what? I'm at the point where this is going to drive me to the streets. Join us at the new Healthcare March Organizing Wiki to brainstorm and centralize our efforts. We have GOT to demand a strong public option, available on day one, or else we will THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT. I'm serious. Every single congress-critter needs to feel the heat of our wrath at their foot-dragging and back-pedaling. People are dying every day from lack of care, but they can't be bothered about it, because they're on VACATION! Well I don't get to have a vacation this year, because my factory is shutting down and I'm losing my job and insurance within a couple of months. We need to attend all the town halls, but we also need to become a unified force to be reckoned with. The GOP is imploding, they've lost the middle, and we're still trying to negotiate? WHY? Repeat: PEOPLE ARE DYING AND THEY NEED CARE NOW. This is like having a 9/11 and a Katrina every month, and everyone is shrugging their shoulders.
