An outside meeting

Today, a rare meeting took place.  Obama met with the democrats of the Senate today to encourage them and ask for their vote on his healthcare bill.  Every one of their votes is necessary for the bill to pass.

Two main issues divide them: the public option, and funding for abortion.  The President didn’t discuss such issues or how they should work towards a comprimise, but focused on getting the 60 votes needed to block a republican filibuster.

The president is hard at work to get this bill passed. We must keep writing our represenatives and using our voices to stand up for liberty and and democracy.
