		<description>Renee, you can sign up for a tele-conference with Paulsen, which I did, but I am not happy about it.  I want a face to face where his staff can&#039;t simply ignore questions he doesn&#039;t want to answer.

I&#039;ve called Paulsen&#039;s office several times and asked him via email numerous times for the names of the people who had input on his Medical Rights and Reform Act, Paulsen&#039;s rather poor version of a health care reform bill.  I was told I would get an answer, but no answer has been returned.  I was told his staff member, Andy Christiansen, in charge of health care issues would get back to me on it but I haven&#039;t had a reply from him, either.  When I called the congressman&#039;s office originally to discuss the legislation he introduced, I was told that the people he consulted with on the bill were &quot;stakeholders&quot;.  I want to know who these &quot;stakeholders&quot; are.  I am his constituent and I consider myself and his other constituents to be the most important stakeholders in any legislation he introduces, but he doesn&#039;t seem to have consulted any of us.  I want an answer.  Who did he talk to when he put this bill together?</description>

		<description>If either of these people were worth anything, the MEA would be a big contributor, as would any number of other unions and worthwhile causes.  

Just goes to show that the Republi-thugs are bought and paid for by private industry segments.  Their goal is to keep bilking all of us little people out of our money while they get rich off of our labor.

Vote them all out!  Especially MB, she is the worst of the bunch.</description>

		<description>As soon as the Democrats stop taking money from the insurance industry and big pharma, this will be considered news. News flash: single payer isn&#039;t even on the table in the Health Care &quot;reform&quot; debate for Dems OR Pubs. They are the same group of criminals that want you to believe they are at odds and &quot;battling for Americans.&quot; Please. Campaign dollars and other &quot;gifts&quot; keep these crooks in office. The only thing more ridiculous is an &quot;Independent&quot; news outlet that continually sides with one end of the heavily corrupt political landscape. Look to 3rd party candidates to stop the pursuit of special interest dollars.</description>
