Recently someone asked me for my thoughts about opening the purchase of Health Insurance to out of state located, out of state regulated, providers as proposed by Senator Burr, Congressman McHenry and others.

Last night (6/23) at the Catawba County Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting the subject was Health Care. The guest speakers for the evening were volunteers with Organizing for America who are working to get the word out, in a non-partisan way, on the various public options for this issue and the critical immediacy of citizen involvement. Local volunteers for Organizing for America have planned non-partisan, informational booths at the Maiden and Conover Farmer’s Markets for this Saturday 6/27 as part of Organizing for America's National Health Care Day of Service. Volunteers will be offering blood pressure checks, handing out apples, giving tips for healthy living, and explaining health care terms and options.

McHenry uses tax payer money to misrepresent his stand on Illegal Immigration and other issues.

Mr. McHenry’s close friends and neo-conservative allies like Tom DeLay, Carl Rove and Dennis Hassert are now gone from Washington, leaving a bad smell behind them. Suddenly Mr. McHenry wants us to believe he has helped Veterans and that he has always been against Illegal Immigration.
