Last week, Rep. Dennis Moore published an editorial in newspapers across the third Congressional district announcing his support for the House health insurance reform bill. As he explained last week:

I will be voting for this bill because it addresses the issues of affordability, fiscal responsibility, quality and choice. We can no longer afford to do nothing. We must meet this challenge head-on.

This bill will not only dramatically improve the health care system for those who already have insurance they like and want to keep, it benefits those who don't have insurance...

Congressman Moore delivered on that pledge by voting for the bill Saturday.

It's times like these that we need to take a moment and let Rep. Moore know that we appreciate his hard work and dedication. So we've set up a hub on our website where folks can thank Rep. Moore by writing a personal message to him. We'll deliver your personal messages to him on Friday.

A Positive Call To Action

I got an email that her supporters are starting a campaign to blanket her Senate office with 18 million "thank you" cards.

Here's the message:

We are trying to get a "thank you card campaign" started. We want to flood Senator Clinton's DC office with thank you cards. On the front of the envelope we are writing "WE ARE ONE OF 18 MILLION". We want to reach as many supporters as possible so it can be effective.

THE ADDRESS:

THE HONORABLE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

UNITED STATES SENATE

476 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON

DC 20510-3202

Hillary fought for us. So let's send a card to Senator Clinton. Then tell your friends to send one. Then get them to get their friends to send one.

Pass it on.

Yeah, yeah, we know that we still have to cross 2,025 and resolve Michigan and Florida.  But it's been 491 days since we started on January 16, 2007 and today - May 20, 2008, call it VO Day - is a significant milestone in this epic and historic campaign for the only metric that really mattered: will of the voter, elected, pledged delegates.  We know it, the media knows it, the Clinton camp knows it and most important, the superdelegates know it.  

The Fall campaign will not be a slam dunk and we still have a lot of work to do with older voters, working class Whites, Latinos and most Clinton supporters.  We're going to need about 65,000,000 votes in November.  65,000,000 is almost 50,000,000 more people than have voted for Barack to date. That's sobering.  But this is a good time to celebrate a little bit, say thank you and look back at some key moments in the longest, closest and most exciting primary contest in American history.

I want to take a moment and thank Hillary Clinton.  I want to thank her for making Obama a stronger candidate through this primary process.  She is a true fighter, and one helluva Democrat...I feel sorry for the GOP when she and Bill set their full sights on them.

I also want to thank Hillary for coming to the defense of Obama regarding Bush's comments in Israel.

"President Bush's comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy," she told reporters in Rapid City, South Dakota Thursday. "This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary celebration of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced; unfortunately, this is what we've come to expect from President Bush.

"There is a very clear difference between Democrats and Republicans on foreign policy and that difference will be evident once we take back the White House."

She very easily could have piled on but she, a true Democrat, and defended one of our own.  And I thank her for that.

I know, personally, I have been hard on Hillary and unrightfully so.  I have never walked in the shoes of a woman and I have no right to question someone who fights for the average American, the poor, children, and is a stalwart to women every where.  For all of my wise ass cracks, I sincerely apologize.

I respect you Hillary Clinton, I respect your right to continue in this race, I respect how you've brought so many more people into our party and I respect how hard you have worked to make our country the best it can be.

Thank you!
