Hmmm. Still Garbage day at BuzzFlash.com.

The president is back to lecturing us about health care reform

http://www.americablog.com/2009/10/president-is-back-to-lecturing-us-about.html

Start here,

We WILL get Health Care via Pres. Obama when EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT HAS FAILED.

We WILL GET A PUBLIC OPTION ***AND*** KEEP MAJORITIES IN THE NEXT ELECTION,
unless visionless slugs like this author spook the Democrats actually WORKING alongside
Pres. Obama and blow the whole thing.

Looks like BuzzFlash's meds haven't kicked in yet today.

I value a person's seconds, they way most folks value money, except more so. Gandhi, King, Jesus... were the same, I'll guess.

I'm not ENTITLED to take, or to invite myself to someone's money, and I CERTAINLY am
not ENTITLED to take a second of their time that they don't freely offer.  And the reverse is true.

And if I receive a second of someone's time, IF I DON'T USE IT TO THEIR
SATISFACTION, I EXPECT THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME ANOTHER.
And it is the same with my time.

With high contribution people this gains me access to their
time that most people couldn't dream of.

With low contribution people it earns me
their hatred.

Always has.  Always will.

Friend--

It's late; I know you've gotten a lot of messages from us recently, and everyone here at OFA headquarters is pretty tired. But the last reports of calls and commitments are just coming in from events on the West Coast, and I wanted to share the news with you.

As you know, we set a big goal: 100,000 calls to Congress placed or committed to in a single day by OFA supporters and allied organizations. By 2:30 p.m., you had crushed it. So, we gulped and said let's go for 200,000, not knowing what would happen. But the calls just kept pouring in -- keeping phones ringing off the hook in congressional offices in D.C. and your representatives' district offices around the country.

Then, OFA supporters gathered in over 1,000 living rooms and community centers from Macon, Georgia to Missoula, Montana. You called hundreds of thousands of key voters in your community and got them to agree to call Congress and speak out for reform, too. President Obama joined in at a call party in New York -- and he had some amazing words of support for the folks like you who make this movement possible.

I'm looking at the numbers, and with almost all of the reports now in, the tally wasn't 200,000 calls placed or pledged -- it was 315,023. You did it.

Take a moment to watch the President's inspiring words to OFA volunteers on this incredible day.

Watch the President's remarks

Your voice was overwhelming -- with reports in the media of congressional offices "completely crushed with calls." CBS News described your effort as an "onslaught." And a congressional aide was quoted with a common response, saying their office was deluged by "pretty much non-stop health care calls from OFA.

You set a new OFA record, you caught the national media's attention, and you certainly put Congress on notice. But you know that's not what really matters.

The message I sent earlier talked about a woman, Jenny U., whose insurance company cut off her coverage because they decided her kidney donation to her sick daughter counted as a "pre-existing condition." What really matters is that today you brought America one giant, irreversible step closer to being a place where no one will ever have to suffer that kind of injustice again. That's what all the messages, late nights, and phone calls ultimately add up to. It's what makes everything we do together worthwhile -- and it's why we'll keep fighting together until the job is done.

Watch President Obama's special message to you from a call party in New York:

http://my.barackobama.com/TTDreport

Thank you, so much, for being part of the team.

Sincerely,

Mitch

Mitch Stewart
Director
Organizing for America

P.S. -- Here are just a few stories from "Time to Deliver" events across the country:

This evening I and three other volunteers got together and made calls. As I was calling, one of the women I spoke with told me that she was inspired by my story -- shared in the email earlier that day -- to get her entire family to call Congress. She didn't know it was me on the phone, but she said she just couldn't stop saying "this isn't right" when she heard my story. It gave me so much hope -- during the evening we made 213 calls and got 64 commitments to call tomorrow.

-Jenny U., Missouri Volunteer

Seeing the tally go up, hearing voter after voter agree to call, and listening to the real excitement people have about finally fixing this broken system, I was reminded why we do this. Each of us can only give so much -- but when we all do it together, we move mountains. Health insurance reform, here we come.

-Sean Knox, California New Media Director

I want to recognize the folks in this room -- and folks watching online -- who are helping us to do exactly that. And I want to thank all the Organizing for America volunteers for making calls, knocking on doors, and keeping up the fight. You know why this is so important. ... We are nearing the finish line -- and with your help, we're going to cross it.

-President Barack Obama

Fossil Fuels' Hidden Cost Is in Billions, Study Says

New York Times - Matthew L. Wald - ‎22 hours ago‎

ALSO:

Hidden Cost of Burning Fossil Fuels: $120 Billion A new report by the National Academy of Sciences estimates that burning fossil fuels costs the United States about $120 billion a year in hidden costs. The study estimated that nearly 20,000 people die prematurely each year from air pollutants emitted by power plants and vehicles. The study found that coal burning was the biggest single source of such external costs. Environmental groups said the actual hidden cost of burning fossil fuels is even higher, because the study did not include expenses related to global warming. The National Mining Association criticized the report for ignoring what it described as the hidden benefits of coal-based generation.

From our sister Smartassawhip on youtube -

Out of the woods.. :)
I have great news... Jimmy has been moved off of ICU... His lungs have both started to clear of the fluids now each of them just has a little in the bottom... At 5 yesterday morning one was completely full and the other half way... I could hear him in the background this time and honestly listening to him now you would never even know the kid was just on life support a couple hours ago. They are now giving him breathing treatments every 4 hours and he is still on 3 antibiotics and the tamiflu plus a steroid... It looks like he is going to make it... and I am convinced that this has been nothing short of a mircale. There were thousands of people praying for him... between youtube, facebook, myspace and real life I do believe that he was blessed. The hospital notified the health department and the school... so it will interesting to see how they handle it. He is still in isolation and will have to stay in the hospital for atleast 5 days... Anyway hopefully he will continue to get better and better. I guess he will have some lasting effects. He can't be around anyone who smokes for the rest of his life and they want him to get some type of shot for pneumonia every 2 years for life. I will keep you posted. I plan to vaccinate both of my boys if I get the chance... right now in my area they only vaccinate them between ages 2 and 9. :)

Thanks so much guys.....
