I'm begging the Alabama Congressional Delegation to vote YES for health care for all Alabamians.

According to the Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, Democrats have the votes to pass health care reform.

Connecticut Rep. John Larson, chairman of the Democratic Caucus, said Sunday
morning that "we have the votes" to pass health care reform legislation in the
House.Speaking on ABC's This Week, Larson said, "We are going to make history
today. Not since President Roosevelt passed Social Security, Lyndon Johnson
passed Medicare, and today, Barack Obama will pass health care reform,
demonstrating whose side we're on."

Are Alabama democratic Congressmen Artur Davis and Bobby Bright going to be on the right side of history or the wrong side of history?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida said she believed the leadership had
rounded up the votes but the count was still in "flux." She said, ""I couldn't
tell you which 216 members we will have."

Will Alabama democratic congressmen Artur Davis and Bobby Bright vote with democrats or against democrats?

On CNN's State of the Union, Indiana Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House
Republican Conference, said of Larson's description of today as historic if
health care passes, "I think it is going to be different from the way John
thinks it is going to be. I think this is going to be a historic weekend because
I think this weekend is going to be the beginning of the end of business as
usual in Washington, D.C. I think the American people see an administration and
see a Congress that are in a headlong rush to confront the very real challenges
that we have in health care with more government instead of more freedom."

Will Alabama democratic Congressmen Artur Davis and Bobby Bright enable and appease the bitter resistance of the Teabaggers, the birthers, and deathers,  or will they denounce bitterness and resentment?

"Kill the bill," the largely middle-aged crowd shouted, surging toward lawmakers
who crossed the street between their office buildings and the Capitol.
The motorcade that carried Obama to Capitol Hill to whip up support for the bill
drove past crowds waving signs that read "Stop the spending" and "Get your hands
out of my pocketbook and health care."
Many booed and thrust their thumbs down as Obama rode by.As police held demonstrators back to clear areas for lawmakers outside the Capitol Obama's speech, some protesters jeered and chanted at the officers, "You work for us."Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., told a reporter that as he left the Cannon House Office Building with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a leader of the civil rights era, some among the crowd chanted "the N-word, the N-word, 15 times." Both Carson and Lewis are black, and Lewis spokeswoman Brenda Jones also said that it occurred.

Will the Vote NO Democrats be rewarded by democratic voters or will they be punished by democratic voters? Is it a coincidence all the vote NO DINO's represent the red, republican, confederate, slave states? Is it a coincidence they all represent districts where a large population of their constituents are uninsured? Have they no shame? No compassion? No decency? No honor? No loyalty? No courage?

And what about the 176 republicans who plan to vote NO on the health care reform bill? Do they honestly believe they will be rewarded by voters for voting against extending coverage to millions of uninsured Americans-ending insurance company abuses and giving Americans control over their own health care?

Time will tell the truth.

There is still time for Parker Griffith, Artur Davis, Bobby Bright and the rest of the Alabama Congressional delegation to put we the people ahead of party and the special interest. A vote against health care reform is a vote to give insurance companies free reign to jack up premiums, drop coverage when people get sick and make life or death decisions for thousands of Alabamians.

I'm begging you, on behalf of the millions of uninsured Americans to vote for health care reform. I'm begging you to vote for single mother who chooses life. I begging you for the college students with pre existing conditions who will be dropped from their parents insurance plans when they graduate from college. I'm begging you for the unemployed and the under employed who can't afford health insurance. I'm begging you for people who use the emergency room as their primary care giver. I'm begging you for the thousands who are dying because they don't have access to health care. I'm begging you for our troops, who are dying and being maimed and wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm begging you for the children who lose their parents because they don't have access to health care.

I'm begging you to help us, not hurt us.

The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams shall
never die.~Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D. MA)
