The following is a true story. I have left out the names to protect the guilty. It is also a rant about the collapse of the health care system and complete dearth of compassion in it.
If you are still interested read on below the fold.

For the last year I have written blogs, written and called my Senators and Representatives, gone to a town hall meeting, talk and argued with my friends and family, watch some of the most boring debates, read Bills that were thousands of pages long, disseminated, analyzed said Bills, listened to speeches, and followed pundits from both sides.
I did all those things for one reason. Because I believe that the Health Care system in this country has become fatally flawed. It has failed person after person, myself included.
Finally, tonight the first major step in the effort to fix this travesty has been taken and we WON!
The President of the USA has been sent the first of the Heath Care/Insurance Reform Bills.

When I was 12 years old cigarettes were 50 cents a pack. It was very cool to smoke... "OK maybe I'll try one". That was 38 years ago.
For most of the last 20 or so of those years I have listened to everyone and their brother tell me why they thought I should quit. Not one of those reasons worked for me. I simply was not prepared to quit. Besides I had a secret. Check below the fold for more..

This is my first diary so please bear with me...
I am really fed up. Earlier I was reading about the 19 Senators that voted against the extension of Unemployment benefits. As a 17 year resident of Texas this man and his justifications for denying me and my family assistance when we need it most is inexcusable.
This man has lived off the backs of myself and taxpayers like me for 8 years in the Senate and and since 1984 in local/state offices.
I have worked nearly every day of my life since 1976 and some politician thinks he is justified to deny me benefits I have worked hard for? It is outrageous! I will be actively working for his defeat in the next election.
