Great job, again, Mike.

I really value your work and hope to see you continue on in the same vein.

It’s so important to see these unedited, non-sound-bite video bits that show the real person, as opposed to the talking points politicos who are all we ever see on the Mainstream media (TV and Print).

Thanks for your Good Works!

I am really glad to see that the house isn’t rolling over for the sen. bill. Its a real stinker of a bill, and its paid for on the backs of the middle class. My husband works for the state and he does not make much in pay, but he does in benefits. I am pretty sure we would be hit in a couple of years if the sen. bill passes. I really wonder in a few years times how many companies rather pay a fine then give their employees health benefits. I guess we shall see how all this plays out.

1) Wow, thank YOU Mike Stark for making and posting these videos, and also thank you for thanking the representatives on our behalf. Yes, yes, yes.

2) What’s the diff between the state exchange idea and the thing Dennis Kucinich wanted, which was the right for states to go beyond the national bill and keep innovating health care solutions on their own, including I guess public option. I admit it, I’m WAY fuzzy on these state-vs-federal issues. Simple clarification would be SO appreciated.

3) I can also imagine a useful tool whereby anyone can locate their own rep’s position on health care reform. There probably is one, but I don’t know. In my case, where’s Bob Filner? In August DFA posted a youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmf9ixE9xYk ) where Filner stated he was for the public option and would vote against any bill that had a trigger. He wanted Medicare For All. Would love to have you talk to him and ask him where he is now.

It appears that the Senate is much more tightly cemented into the corporatist uber-government structure than is the House of Reps. If we are ever to break free from this insidious form of communism, it seems that the House is our only last hope.
