Im here today because of my mom. My mom was a health care activist, just like me. She protested and testified in rallies about everybody having health care But my mom was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in 2006, and she lost her job and her health care with it. She ended up passing away because she didnt have the equal rights to health care as some people with more money. I wanted to finish her fight for health care. I want Barack Obama and Congress to come together to help the health care bill to pass.

  • @phatdogcat "Spent us into incredible debt?" WTF are you on? Bush took a surplus and turned it into massive debt. It was Bush Jr and the Republicans, not the Dems. If you're going to attack a child and a congressman, at least get your facts straight.

  • ....uh, and you spent us into incredible debt, and now you want us to just give more. what are you going to do when no one will buy our debt (gee thanks), and the dollar has to be printed by the barrel having no value? Richest country? Old fools.

  • he's so well spoken for and 11 year old...he's just so adorable....
