We hope everyone had an enjoyable Labor Day Weekend and spent some quality time with their families and friends and thanking a Veteran for our safety.

In case you missed the news release at mid-night on Saturday, Van Jones did resign. But the issue is far from being over. http://tinyurl.com/lyaqcy

Our economy is lagging behind Switzerland http://tinyurl.com/mxm8yz and this is long before they force universal health care on Americans. Do they not learn from the countries that have UHC? France is now reporting problems: http://tinyurl.com/lfm9dn If you only have time to read one article today, please make it this one: http://tinyurl.com/mp2vad Do not be fooled by the "compromise" of a "trigger" in health care reform! Roll Call is reporting that the trial lawyers’ lobby, worried that tort reform could become a bargaining chip in the health care debate, is lashing out this week against efforts to include medical malpractice limits in health care reform bills.

You cannot have meaningful health care reform with out tort reform! We acknowledge that compromise is essential in getting legislation passed and most times compromise works. However, putting a "trigger" and not having tort reform is not a compromise...it is capitulation!

The House already has and the Senate has to move legislation to raise the debt ceiling to above $12T, http://tinyurl.com/naqsks BEFORE health care is decided. Interesting what Senator Obama said on the Senate Floor when Dubya raised the debt ceiling.
