Grassley working against Iowans

Have you seen and read how Sens. Max Baucus of Montana and Chuck Grassley of Iowa each has received more than $2 million in campaign contributions from the health and drug industry (since 2003)?

How much bonus will they get if they kill the reform? So whose side do you think they're on?

Surely not ours. I wonder how former Sen. H.R. Gross would feel if he knew his hand-picked man, Grassley, was working against the people of Iowa instead of for them?

There is a good article in Rolling Stone, Sept. 5 issue, “How Washington is screwing up health care reform - and why it may take a revolt to fix it,” by Max Taibbi.

In one speech, Grassley says he has to support the protesters; in another, he has to support his constituents.

In a letter to his fundraisers, he said “I will do all I can to kill Obamacare.” At another, he says the bill will “kill grandma” to scare the old people like me.

Most of what is said that is bad about the bill is also a lie or a myth.

This in America, the most advanced nation in the world, and we need government health care for all.
