   Just got back from lunch and saw a demonstration. There was a small group of moonbats, 3 or 4, demonstrating in favor of Obamacare. On our side there were about 12 or 15 from Atlanta Tea Party in favor of freedom and less spending. I stopped and chatted and in just a few minutes they had already picked up 2 or 3 more and all the cars passing by seemed to be against Obamacare. The organizer claimed they had 50 more people at the office of local Demorat John Lewis. This is very encouraging. Americans do not want this nightmare!

   This is great. The people fight back. Hopefully this stays as the “civilest of wars” as Beck calls it.

   But I’m stocking up on ammo and reloading supplies in case it gets less civil.

    Just got back from the pharmacy to refill hubbys medicine…after 15 years of tricare paying for said medicine they now won’t pay, has to be generic. I know, I know a lot of people are forced to take generic, myself included, but it just seemed like a slap and a wakeup call for what’s ahead. Kill off the old people and create a master race. I’m not really an old people yet, but it is just around the bend.

    I was so stunned at the pharmacy!!! Almost threw a fit, but not his fault. I am proud of the protesters and plan to join on as soon as I find one.

    Business.

    I’ve been working towards obtaining my undergraduate degree for years. Working full-time and going to school part-time (night classes). Finally found an online program with Liberty University that works for me. Although it’s tough juggling a full-time job, being a wife and mother (to my dog), I have been doing quite well in my coursework. In April I was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society.

    formerwm: I’m a Medical Ass’t and verify Insurance and get Authzns all day. (Just as source)

    It’s not just Tricare that has a preferred drug list which I suppose a lot are Generics. As I recall, a drug company has 17years to recoup the total cost of all the research it’s done and then has to release info so a generic can be made. Yeah they do spend a lot of money, but if their lines of research don’t pan out, they have to abandon the research and are out of pocket.

    I’m not sticking up for Drug Companies. I work for the Children’s Hospital at Stanford. We are encouraged to use Escript (thru the mail). I prefer a local Pharmacy.

    Back on Topic, I emailed Mike Honda, DiFi and Babs Boxer last night. between SCHIP, Medicare, and Mcal (Mcaid); probably the Mcare Drug plan, too, we are $53 Trillion in debt without the Prez’s plan. I suggested they sign up for the plan, also add their extended families and their STAFF… Then I heard this AM that Oklahoma (was it House Member?) Congressman got such an amendment pushed thru.

    ABBA, FATHER, we need to have this defeated. Do not turn your back on us in our hour of need. Amen.

    This information would be damning if we could use that. During the election, ‘Bambi promised he’d reform Medicare and his wish to pattern any healthcare reform to match that of Congress. It was a promise only a fool would believe, but we’ll all have to live with it.

    The kids and I went to the protest in Raleigh, NC today.

    We met a gentleman who was a veteran of the Korean War.

    My boys have made it a habit, which they enjoy immensely, of going up and thanking veterans or soldiers in uniform. And so they went up and shook this gentleman’s hand and gave him our thanks for serving our country.

    And he immediately made me want to cry by thanking me – for bringing my kids out to this event. “My service is worth it when I see young people at these events, trying to save our country.”

    “Trying to save our country.”

    That he could even equate what he and other veterans have done to what we are doing is completely humbling.

    And scary.

    And thought-provoking.

    Tucson’s protest outside Gabrielle Giffords office was a success. We were on 3 of the street corners, while the counter-protest was on one. We outnumbered them at least 5-1. I think there were about 300 of us there, maybe more. Of course local TV news downplayed our numbers and boosted the opposition numbers. I’d say about 1/4 of the traffic honked for us.
