Geoff Davis Are You Listening?

July 15, 2009 I posted this article, "Support for Public Option Health Care Rally at Congressman Davis' District Office."
So I thought what the Hell, I'll drive the 140 miles and try to capture this with video. When I arrived I found 3 people at the Rally, John Waltz, his wife Janie Waltz and Lucy Sterling and I thought to myself this is a Rally?
I guess John Waltz saw my frustration and doubt and he said, we're a little short on people today, but there will be plenty of participation. I thought  plenty of participation? What in the Hell is this young man talking about? John Waltz then suggested I set my camcorder up to shoot video of him and his wife holding signs and capture all the horns honking in support of a Public Option Health Care Plan. I did what he suggested and much to my amazement the participation began, the folks driving on Buttermilk Pike, in  Fort Mitchell, KY. began to honk their horns in approval of a Public Option Health Care Plan and Geoff Davis's offices on both sides of the street were hearing the horns honking.
It's been a long time since I've seen a politician actually stand up for what he or she  believes in, no matter what the odds, shades of Andrew Horne.

Experience Matters: Daniel Mongiardo has the Experience, Jack Conway Does Not
The latest installment of results from our most recent survey on Gay marriage, Mountaintop Removal and experience shows that all political groups in Kentucky agree on one thing; experience matters. The results are so clear that no-one can deny that experience may be the most important element in the Democratic primary for US Senate.

Of course Daniel Mongiardo has the experience to.....Read more.

A California company has begun robo-calls to try and guage a way to defeat Universal Healthcare.

Credit Card Reform on the Way
Like millions of Americans I have had a credit card. I noticed once you had money charged to one of these things, sometimes even if you paid over the minimum balance all the time, you just never seemed to get it all paid off. I have since paid off my credit cards and decided I don't want another.
