DAKOTAFEST: Don’t Talk about Health Care!
What do we have on the agenda for Thune and Herseth-Sandlin at Dakotafest? Bio-fuels, Farm Bill Implementation, Disaster Program & Energy Legislation Updates. Those farmers better not talk about Health Care! Unless they want FREE Health Care…then whooHoo!
Farmers have gone for government subsidies in the past. They take what help they get for two reasons. 1. They take their work home at night. 2. Their home was their Grandparents home and they hope it will be their grandchildrens home. But HR 3200 is a gamble for them and every American. It isn’t finished. And like the Bailouts this past year, people see that Health Care shouldn’t be just good enough to pass!
Town halls go well when concerns are discussed. An example of a good town hall Q&A: ‘Criticism: I don’t want government to control my health care options! Response: Well, I believe this plan will do this…how do you want to solve the problems we have with health care?” BUT what do we hear on the news!? We hear the questions without the discussion. If you are presenting a plan to a group, you should know more about the plan than the group. And if you can’t do that, you can at least placate to them and ask them for ideas. Unless you know the ideas won’t be used!
Let’s hope this meeting is constructive.
When are they meeting today, well lets just look in the Argus Leader. Or how about Dakotafests website.
Oh look Sen Tim Johnson’s going to…oh he was (invited.) I guess he’s wearing the DNC’s cloak of invisibility.
