Statistics and such

  • 98% of small business make less then $250,000, which means that 98% of small businesses will get a tax break when Senator Obama is elected President of our incredible country
  • Earmarks account for 1/2 of 1% of the federal goverment's budget
  • Transportation accounts for 30% of US energy use
To put some rumors to rest: Obama is NOT instituting a single-payer health care system. Given the political history of health care that would be bound to fail. Taxing the employer-based health insurance we currently have is dumb, and yes, the projections that this plan of McCain's will allow over 20 million more American's will lose their current insurance is probably a 'best case scenario' projection.

PS. When John McCain used figurative quotations when talking about women's health with regards to partial birth abortions, he made me so angry. Senator McCain, way to blow off women's health rights with your pathetic attempt at sarcasm and complete belittling of women and health care providers. This is another example of your campaign's lack of understanding of women and what we think. We won't just vote for a woman because we're a woman, and yah, those that don't want abortion to be legal still want to be able to choose to live if their situation comes to the dire decision to terminate pregnancy for their own health and not be sent to jail. You really know how to push my buttons!

19 more days until I can vote for Barack Obama!!!!!!!
