Especially
a) if you are sick of uninformed, stupid, and hate-filled rhetoric
and b) if you would like us to we have genuine health-care-delivery and -insurance reform and keep the public option* on the table.
* or some proven workable alternative, see Krugman or better yet, this (which also quotes Krugman but is more factual and is a nice clear summary of the options)

Oh, and c) if you have a body and are a U.S. citizen or resident.

So, how'd it go?
It was good and quite civil. I posted a quick something on Facebook with a promise of a blog post in the next two days. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile, those of you who know what you think about this whole thing, please write your Congressfolks. They need to hear from us!
Oh, and c) if you have a body and are a U.S. citizen or resident.
Shame. I have so much to say on that one.
DP, shame indeed. Shame on us. My friend Mary Hunt, the feminist theologian and ethicist, always says "You should have health care not because you have a job, but because you have a body!"
Stupid humans annoy me too. I love you Ms Jane. Tell my sister bishop I said WooF and hello. And do some fun playing.
Frum,
