I need HELP! I wrote a letter to the editor of our local rag
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 04:32 PM by rustydog
and they will not run the letter unless I can prove my statements. I made statements comparing Kerry and Bush and refered to Bush lies regarding WMD, Niger uranium etc.

I mentioned the Medicar prescription fiasco where some drugs have increased 300 % since the medicare bill passed.

I also mentioned that part of the Iraq reconstruction includes free healthcare for all Iraqis yet it isn't good enough for Americam

I heard Bernie Ward mention the healthcare for Iraqis but I have not found a solid link...Can anyone out there help me,
I really want this letter to be publlished, the local paper has been editing my letteres pretty heavily and I refuse to stop writing my opinion. any help will be greatly appreciated.

3. can't back your 300% but this might help...
Another way in which Rep. Sandlin claims senior citizens have been scammed is by the claim of reducing drug costs by 15 percent or more. “Fifteen percent wouldn’t be great, but would be better than nothing, if it were a true fifteen percent. But the truth is that prescription drugs are skyrocketing three to four times the rate of regular inflation. In the end, you probably haven’t saved a plug nickel. You’ve almost certainly paid out more. It’s nothing less than a scandal,” he exclaimed.
“This is just a money-cash-cow for HMOs and pharmaceutical companies,” he stated emphatically.

4. For Bush and his WMD lies
I always use Senator Waxman's site. He has the best comprehensive list

he also is good on the Medicare prescription drugs

6. Wow! Waxman rocks! I can't believe he hasn't "committed suicide" yet
you know, because of self-hatred stemming from his hatred of America.

Surprising the BFEE et. al. allow him to continue to live.

Love the phrase "knowing deception or unfathomable incomeptence"

HA HA HA HA!!

Screw you, Georgie Porgie McCokeHead Fuckrod.

5. I don't know if this will help you, but it's great information about
things to come with medicare expense for seniors. I know I was very disturbed by it!
