We must not buy federally-mandated insurance! No single-payer, no sale! No public option, no sale!

A special comment from Keith Olberman, December 16, 2009


Any law that requires an individual to pay money to a private corporation or face criminal penalty is a bad law and must be struck down.

Howard Dean: “You can't vote for this bill in good conscience.” December 15, 2009
