<
Senators. Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu, lend me your
ear.
<
"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what
you can do for your country."
<
Sound familiar?
<
You can do that by casting a vote tonight that would almost
assure overcoming Republican opposition and open debate
on healthcare reform -- and quite possibly put it on the road
to long-overdue reality.
<
Lincoln (D-Neb) and Landrieu (D-La), a pair of moderates,
apparently hold the key to overcoming Republican opposition to the
monumental breakthrough which would expand coverage to millions of
uninsured Americans as well as sending a shock wave to totally obscene
health insurance, pharmaceutical, medical and hospital practices.

<
Democrats apparently have 58 votes before the 8 p.m. vote,
therefore need the support of Lincoln and Landrieu to get
the 60 that are needed.
<
It has come down to just two votes after Ben Nelson, a third
moderate Democrat, courageously revealed yesterday that
he would support moving to debate.
<
Senators Lincoln and Landrieu, now it's up to you. Tonight
would be a good time to start.
