Weapons of Mis-Direction


"There are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor!"- Reverend Joseph Lowry

I'm going to keep this short... the HMOs and the insurance companies are spending millions of dollars in false advertising on radio, television, and the internet to scare people and misinform them about health care. They are doing this because they are scared... scared that the good thing they've had going for years is going to come to an end. They are going to make sure that doesn't happen.

I will go even further and say that they are not beyond hiring agitators to stir-up people at the town hall meetings too. The lobbys that represent them have more than a few politicians in their pockets to make sure that business as usual continues.

Don't beleive the hype. At least, don't believe "their' hype. Read something, look deeper into the situation, and develop an informed opinion. Too much is at stake not to.

Amen!! Preach on, Keith and Rev. Lowry. Where are the voices of the 45 million Americans without Health coverage? I know a lot of them are in mosques on Fridays and churches on Sunday. Where are the pastors, priests and imams? Why are people of faith so fearful? We must stand up and require our government to respond to the people. That's the change I voted for!

good day keith.

i'd read last year sometime...either read or watched a video on youtube that touched on how it's not uncommon for lobbyist to, as you stated, keep a politician on their huge payroll thus also keeping said powerful figure representing their issues.

and never the interest of the ones who voted them into office. i agree - we as people have no choice but to do our own research to find out the real truth, and what's best for us.
