85% of Indiana Democrats want a public option.

Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, the following has some inside the Senate information you might be interested in reading...>

Joseph -

The last couple of weeks have been intense.

On Saturday, we earned five reasons to be proud: All five Democratic members of Indiana's Congressional delegation voted for healthcare reform with a public option. The House of Representatives made history by passing "The Affordable Health Care for America Act," marking the first major step towards a comprehensive overhaul of a broken healthcare system.

Now it's up to the Senate, where Harry Reid will present their version of the bill. A new poll shows that most Hoosiers want a public option and Sen. Evan Bayh has noticed, stating that it was extraordinarily unlikely that he would filibuster healthcare reform.

Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, telling them that Hoosiers want the choice of a public option

We know that Evan Bayh wants a fiscally responsible bill, and that inclusion of a public option saves us money. We also know that as long as Sen. Bayh remains committed to passing healthcare reform with a public option, Hoosiers have his back! In the poll commissioned by Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, it was revealed that 85% of Indiana Democrats want a public option along with 59% of independents and 20% of Republicans.


Write a letter to the editor backing Sen. Bayh's commitment to passing real healthcare reform with a public option

This is it. This is the last stretch. Senator Bayh needs to know if he votes for the public option, we'll throw all of our support behind him.

We can make this happen. We're making it happen.

Tom De Luca, Indiana Public Option Organizer

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
