As Organizing for America<\/a>‘s Big Blue Bus trekked around the country this week following the kick-off of an 11-city tour, rallies in support of Health Care reform began organizing all across the country. In the Bay area, where I live, thousands of people joined Speaker Nancy Pelosi, MoveOn.org, and Health Care for America in a public rally held at the San Francisco Civic Center. A committed Pelosi vowed, “We can’t
\npass a bill without a public option.”<\/p>\n

In yet another rally in Los Angeles, things got a bit rough when the political back-biting moved to finger biting. Apparently it’s now hazardous to your health to be pro-reform! One anti-reform <\/i>protester became so enraged at a pro-reform<\/i> opponent that he actually bit his pro-reform finger off!<\/p>\n

<\/font>The finger biter fled the scene. <\/font>Fortunately, the lost finger was found and returned to it’s rightful owner.<\/p>\n

Let’s pray the victim had insurance or can afford to get it sewn back on.<\/p>\n

Stops on the tour have included Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver,
Des Moines, and St. Louis with  Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Charlotte
\nand Raleigh, N.C. still to come. <\/p>\n

If you’re planning to attend, you might want to keep your hands in your pockets.<\/p>\n

You can also show your support for Health Care Reform on the Organizing for America<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Peace and Blessings!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
