  1. New strategy in Af-Pak is needed: support Af civil society, women's groups, strengthen Af parliament. Train army/police. More Int'l help
  2. I oppose troop plus-up esp since Karzai has not/won't clean up corruption. Abandoning women, democratic movement wouldn't be right either
  3. Give you your takes on Afghanistan. I was in Afghanistan & Pakistan last wk.
  4. Crew from Obama for America MN understands that The People must keep the energy HIGH until Obama signs the bill into LAW! And beyond.
  5. Thanks to Obama For America MN for welcoming Tim Walz and I at the airport this morning at 8:30 am.
  6. House passage of HC reform is huge for D momentum. Senate CAN'T do less. I am sure Obama is happy. Puts wind at his back.
  7. Vote is 220 to 215 - Health Care Reform passes thru the House. Congrat to Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, Larsen and Beccera and AND all the Ppl.
  8. Happy day!!!!!! The House reaches 218 votes to get a majority of the House. The Ds explode in CHEERS!
  9. I just voted YES for health care reform. Yeses are running well ahead ofnos so far.
  10. Ds defeat Rs motion to recommit. Now, (drum roll please) on to passage. The board is open and we are voting.
  11. Hope we're going to vote down the R motion to recommit which tries to stop victims of medical error from seeking justice.
  12. Rs acting rowdy again. Just like during Obama's speech, the erupt in jeers against Bruce Braley as he was talking about medical error.
  13. Now, the Motion to Recommit - going after victims of medical error. Doesn't want injured vics to seek civil redress.
  14. House Ds just defeated Minority Leader Boehner's amendment. Horrible bill. Covers few and does little to lower deficit.
  15. Stupak amendment passes 240 to 193 with 1 present. Too bad.
  16. Anti choice Stupak Amendment is underconsideration. Nos are running ahead of yeses - for now.
  17. Dingle: It takes $4/per hour less in Canada than in US because of HC.
  18. 2080: health care and US GDP become equal. Dingle: "we can't let it happen".
  19. Dingle takes Floor to close debate. Final speech tonite before vote: DISTINGUISHED Gentleman frm Michigan delivers strong message.
  20. Watch C-SPAN to see history in the making. Health Care Debate on floor now. Really, Debate is the SHOW; looking forward to the vote.
