The Summit Has Resumed

Shuttle Pod #5 from Kestrel9000 should be starting up soon

HOUSE VOTE (AND LUNCH?) BREAK UNTIL 1:45 PM EASTERN TIME

Yes; Rep. Weiner kicked us off with the liveblogging this morning, but as he has a real job, he is not here to update the diary with links to all the subsequent shuttle pod diaries, and there are too many comments for it to be the current one.

Kimoconnor took it upon herself to bring us the first shuttle pod.  

Please unrec the other diaries so we are not hogging the rec list.  Kimoconnor had to leave, so this will be the new mothership to keep us all on track.  

UPDATE
Rep. Weiner's Live Blog #2

If you would like to do a shuttle pod diary, please leave a comment with "I volunteer" in the title. Timing on these is crazy unpredictable, so please keep in mind there's no "schedule" proper.

With that, you can view the summit on CSPAN

and at the White House's website.

So jump on in!

For the downtimes/GOP speakers, there's all manner of fun reading.  There's this spiffy comparison of the plans as we know them.  And here's a groovy little widget that lets you calculate how Obama's proposal would impact you.

There's also some not so fun reading.  Medicare is facing disastrous cuts, and very soon; the fixes are in the bill and we must get it passed!
