Remember Republicans' blockade when it's time to vote

I think Sen. Ted Kennedy would be very sad to know how health care reform has been gutted - ironically, by the people of Massachusetts, who have it already. Democrats went from having 60 votes in the Senate to having 59 and somehow that makes a minority.
So remember, every time you are denied coverage by for-profit insurance companies, or must pay a huge deductible, or you or a loved one are denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition or lifetime limit, think of your Republican members of Congress and vote accordingly.
