Thanks Dr. Dean and woo-hoo (!!) for Senator Franken

From Alternet, I hear that Gov. ( & Dr.) Howard Dean is among those campaigning to have an up-or-down vote on a bill with a "Public Option" for Healthcare Reform.

http://standwithdrdean.com/ :

Any legislation without the choice of a public option is only insurance reform and not the healthcare reform America needs.

-- Dr. Howard Dean

Well said -- and three-quarters of our country wants a public option choice that can compete fairly with private insurers.

Joining the Good Guys now is Senator Al Franken . According to Wikipedia, he is a Grateful Dead fan . His radio show spectacularly demonstrated his insight and moral courage. I'm very excited to see him join the Senate. I hope Minnesota wants a Healthcare Public Option! :-)
