3. Question about the filibuster--

Should the republicans be allowed to filibuster so that Americans can see it?

Grayson says there is a Democratic majority--they have to deliver--republicans delivered for their constituents as far as war and tax cuts, so Democrats must deliver on health care.

How to stand up for progressive values?

Emails, mail, don't let Democrats waiver on the bill.

(now there's a break, but Grayson will be back)

4. They are back from the break.

Grayson talking about single-payer now.

5. Asking about Lieberman--how to punish him?

A caller from CT is pissed at Lieberman.

Answer:

Encourage people in CT to write in to Lieberman who have lost loved ones because of lack of health insurance. Write to him about it with personal stories.

Grayson says he doesn't "want blood on his hands" because of people dying due to lack of health care.

6. I like his answer. Grayson is very in touch with the human dimension of the health care issue, not

just the political one in my opinion. Grayson sounds like a really good man. I think he is one of congress folks who is walking his talk.

I am going to get off my duff and write him a check for his campaign. I can't afford a big one, but every little bit helps.
