Total Buzz ~ The insiders' hotline to Orange County government and politics

With House approval of a health-care reform bill, MoveOn.org is organizing rallies nationwide to encourage the Senate to approve the bill. A demonstration in Newport Beach has been scheduled for 11 a.m. on Thursday. If the last health-care rally there was any measure, opponents of the proposed reform will also make a showing.

The rally will be held at 610 Newport Center Drive, outside the office of GOP Rep. John Campbell, whose vote demonstrators would like to win. Click here for more information.

  Dear Lori:
  
  I noticed that your “leader” didn’t show up, either. Our leader is a bit too busy saving our hides (ourselves, our families, and everyone else who want to legally state their opinions for us all)!
  
  In spite of your inability to spell, George Soros is NOT MY leader. I am interested in health care for all CITIZENS of America. I am interested in health care that is affordable, integrative, and not controlled by the drug, insurance and medical devices industries.
  
  Like it or not, MoveOn IS a force in Newport Beach and throughout the nation, like it or not. All, including you, have the right to your opinion. That doesn’t give you the right to deny anyone else’s rights and ability to speak freely.
  
  You have no idea what a socialist is. Why are you so adament about your strident voice? Can’t handle competing thoughts? Isn’t this the foundation of the First Amendment to the Constitution that you are using to promulgate your opinion?
  
  Where is your leader? On a facist-biggoted-lying talk show radio program and station? Even you, Rove and Limbaugh have the right to spew their brands of hate and/or bigotry.
  
  All should drop the pretense they’re hiding behind and participate in our democratic ideals.
  
  I hope to meet you at John Campbell’s office so we can see that we are both human beings with something to say, with something to contribute to the conversations, with maybe fresh solutions so despertately needed to fix in our troubles at home and abroad.
  
  Respectfully yours.

I agree. George Soros is closer to a Marxist like obamamessiah.

Ask the people of Belgium what they think of your master?

  hay i don’t want health care reform and i don’t have health care. I like it just the way it is. I get sick, i go to the hospital, get all fixed up and i’m gone. what youay for health goes up but who cares. If they pass health care they are going to make me pay for it. I don’t want to pay for health care i want you to pay for my health care. only in the USA. got to love it. SO keep up the fight. KILL THIS BILL!!!!!!!!!!

If you think for your whole life, you will never depend on the government to give you the health care or any assistance, then you can be against it,
but if for some unpredictable outcome, you will need the government assistance someday, then you need to pass the health reform now
You can not take the reason you do not need the government health option to stand outside of the system, it is the sa

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE NEW NEO-NAZI PARTY.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ONLY WANTS TO HELPS/ SUPPORT CORPORATE EXEC’S VERY BIG BONUSES. IF WE HAD ALL THE CORPORATE EXEC’S BONUSES PUT TOGETHER THEY WOULD HELP
PAY FOR HEALTH CARE+++. BUT NO THEY THEY WOULD RATHER LAY AMERICANS/OUTSOURCE JOBS TO RUSSIA/CHINA/INDIA SO THEY
CAN GET BIGGER BONUSES NO MATTER WHAT.
LOOK AT BOEING CORPORATE EXEC’S W.JAMES MCNERNEY JR.
GETS $$20 MILLION BONUSES ONLY 1 1/2 WITH BOEING.
A LADY AT BOEING SATELLITE EL SEGUNDO CA- WITH 20YRS
CAN’T GET (+$0.55 CENT RAISE) HER BOSS GARY ROBINSON SAID NO MONEY/ NO FUNDS/ YET HE HELPS THE BOYS .
SEE BOEING CEO /CORPORATE EXEC’S DO NOT CARE ABOUT HOURLY PEOPLE. ONLY THEMSELVES W.JAMES MCNERNEY JR
WILL GET HIS $$20MILLION EVEN IF HE MISMANAGES . HERE
BOEING IS ALWAYS HAVING DELAYS ON PLANES WHEN THE PART/SUPPLIES COME FROM RUSSIA/CHINA/INDIA THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO BE FIXED HERE IN AMERICA SO THEY FIT.
$$20 MILLION DOLLARS TO W.JAMES MCNERNY JR. NOT BAD.
JUST THINK THERE ARE CORPORATE EXEC’S WHO MAKE MORE.
