GIVE UP??

The latest senate actions regarding the Democratic Health Care (?) bill demonstrates one thing. The Federal Government is immune from regarding the desires of a majority of its citizens (or should I say occupants of the Country?). No amount of dissent against the Health Care bill was effective in changing anyone's mind. The only thing that was shown was a stubborn loyalty to the Party leadership by the rank and file (doesn't matter which Party). The prattling of a few Democrats revealed that these few were astute enough to bring to bear leverage for their special interests (Check the perks for Louisiana and Nebraska and Florida as a result of these negotiations). Read the dramatic non-differences between the abortion funding requirements as a result of the Nebraska Senators reluctance to allow abortion funding under the bill-- THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIVE DIFFERENCE! -- between the two versions.

This leads me to the conclusion that my wishes are never considered nor are my Representatives listening to me (and to many others like me with similar desires) and yes, I did contact my representative which resulted in a form letter which essentially told me to shut up because they knew what was best. And do not think that things are going to change. They will not! It is almost certain that the vast majority of the present members of Congress will be reelected in 2010, 2012, etc.
