Senator Al Franken's Healthcare Town Hall Meeting Schedule
Big surprise, huh?
" Senate: Sen. Al Franken, DFL, does not have any town hall meetings scheduled, but will be meeting with community leaders about health care during the recess, according to his office. "
As we've been hearing, elections have consequences. November 2010 can't come soon enough. We have to fight against this government takeover with everything we've got. Get involved and don't leave it to others to do all the work. There are too many zombies walking around thinking "change" is good - GET A CLUE YOU BRAINLESS DIVERSITY LOVING AMERICA HATERS!
Of course he will not hold Town Hall meetings. He knows he will be confronted by people who oppose the government's health care plan. His only weapon, snide sarcasm. won't shut us up.
Instead he will meet with 'community leaders' who are in lockstep with his own socialist leanings.
By the way, think about how outraged MPR would be if it were a Republican who refused to meet with his/her constituents.
Let these clowns know what you think. And vote next time. Don't let this travesty of a Senator be elected again.
We need jobs, not government ran health care. We don't need a superficial joke of a senator whose not really our senator and needs to go back to what ever he was doing before, because that election was a sham, he's a sham, and this is an acorn mess,guided by what will be known as the worst joke of a president ever. Obama is the disaster and its getting worse the more he speaks. Its a friggen nightmare.
Where do you guys come from. the people who really need public health insurance , are the main ones fighting against it. It proves that sometime the government needs to protect the less intelligent from themselves.
The above is obviously the less intelligent. Since when has the government done anything right? The government ruined the country with fannie mae and freddie mac, Medicare is broke, the post office is a mess, social security is broke, why would a person ever trust the government to run health? Have you been to the DMV lately? Helloooooooo? we need torte reform, the ability to buy insurance across state lines, we need less government. We need job creation and since this boob has been in office, nothing has been done to help the free market. The more this idiot flaps his lips, the worst the economy gets. And we are on a train wreck

Is Social Security going broke? No. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-social-security-isnt-going-broke Not at all. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7080681
And not only only that, but if they were to raise the cap on what people pay into it - we would be just fine forever.
Is Medicare going broke? This is TRUE. Which is why the federal government is trying to put together something that will keep health costs down, so that people can continue to receive their medicare. Again, it takes a special person to vote against their self-interest.
Is Medicaid going broke? First off, Medicaid is managed by the states and helped with funding by the federal government. So whether or not any individual Medicare budget is going broke is state, not federal. Some are doing well, some not. Medicaid Budget Unlike Medicare, which is solely a federal program, Medicaid is a joint federal-state program. Each state operates its own Medicaid system, but this system must conform to federal guidelines in order for the state to receive matching funds and grants. The federal matching formula is different from state to state, depending on each state's poverty level. The wealthiest states only receive a federal match of 50% while poorer states receive a larger match.
Post Office? True. I think that whole agency needs to be revisited. People just don't use it as much as they used to.
Cash for Clunkers? Wildly successful and was funded an additional 2 billion, it was so successful. Not going broke. It was only allocated 3 billion and it was already used up. It is not in the red.
It's simple. Someone is going to have the power over life and death in making decisions for healthcare. Do I want that decisionmaker to be a private entity that makes a profit and needs to please the shareholders AND which I cannot vote out of office, and I have no say in the decisions, or do I want the decisionmaker to be the government, which, last I checked was "We the People". I choose "We the People".
We the people are not happy with the current government. There is nothing greedier than government. The government has no business in the health care business. Ask your doctor how they feel. The government’s job is to keep the economy healthy, not health care. The government’s job is to keep this country safe, to provide a strong defense. They lied about the stimulus bill, so far it has done nothing. We were told they need to pass it to keep unemployment at 8%. We are heading for 10% unemployment. Another huge lie. Where are the jobs? As far as the cash for clunkers – only a minute percent of dealerships have actually been paid. Why supercially prop up one industry and not another? All in the name of trying to control the cars we drive? And this administration is totally clueless on all accounts and the last thing we the American people need is a Government bureaucrat who gets paid no matter what, telling us whether we need treatment or not. We don’t need a government minion, telling us we have lived long enough. Adding insult to injury to name it after a man that would no way in hell opt for the public option. Its called elitism and this administration is full of it. You want to talk greed, look at your president, Pelosi and Reed. Read the bill. Its ugly and there is nothing compassionate about it. The American people do not want this administration is trying to ram rod our throats. They are lying, while the economy is dying. Hope? What hope? Change…yea we got change alright and its brutal. We are on a train wreck led by an idiot. And the pseudo senator? When is his town hall meeting? Its bad enough we have to put up with an acorn senator.
First off, I appreciate all the comments here - further, if you click the "Name/URL" button you can actually enter a name and that's it so we don't have 32 "Anonymous" here!
Okay, to the Anonymous that posted: or do I want the decisionmaker to be the government, which, last I checked was "We the People". I choose "We the People".
I'll wager that you're the same fool who took to the streets to protest the wire taps of jihadis under the Bush administration but now you are cool with the Government telling your Mother that she really is too old to be worth that heart catheter or telling you that your MRI will need to wait for 9 months.
And to the Anonymous who wrote: Cash for Clunkers? Wildly successful and was funded an additional 2 billion, it was so successful.
Hey asshole, the money for those clunkers came out of my pocket dipshit! I'm assuming you don't work and pay taxes or it would bother the hell out of you too, fool. If you think that's such a great program, how about we have the Obama administration and Congress decide that we'll take taxpayers' money and give every American who turns in a box full of steak bones, $1000 off a half a steer? How about we give $50,000 off the purchase of a new home if the person turns in a copy of their foreclosure notice?
The well is gonna run dry fool, and when it's dry, it' dry. I am not paying for your shit, no more.
You got that right. To the fool, who says they can vote the death panel out if they don’t like being put on death row, those aren’t elected officials, fool. Just another Odumbo czar, those who he hand picks with no vetting process. Keep drinking the koolaid. In fact spice it up a bit with some moon shine, because, you’re gonna need it if this health scare bill gets ram rodded down our throats, the one we the people can do without thank you. And if you don’t like the insurance you have, you currently vote with you wallet. Apparently you don't have a job or you would know the drill.That’s called free market and we like it just the way it is. We don’t need a commie, Marxist. Facist. American hating administration telling what we can drive, what kind of treatment we can get, the house we can have, the food we can eat. What’s next, when we can breathe and how many times a day we can take a shit? America is now realizing what a mistake November 4th was. And Franken? That’s a mean bad joke on all of us. He’s an idiot who really was not elected. We need a do over on that debacle
Good Day!!! holgerawakens.blogspot.com is one of the most outstanding informational websites of its kind. I take advantage of reading it every day. holgerawakens.blogspot.com rocks!
The author of holgerawakens.blogspot.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: Corollary to #6275: Except when your a smartass yourself, in that case you will like yourself but dislike other smartasses more. Thanks for the info.
