Do you remember the Massachusetts's Miracle? It seems that Washington has put the event in its rear view mirror. They have reloaded and formed a friendly target that all along may have been in their sites, the Insurance Companies. They will be portrayed as the villains to the public and the reason we need to pass the Healthcare Bill.

So on Thursday, February 25th, the reality show begins. The President will orchestrate and direct this meeting under the guise of a bipartisanship made for TV event. The plot lines for the public viewing, do the Democrats freely want to negotiate in good faith? Or do they want to portray the Republicans as the party of no ideas and no compromise? Then submit their bill to the Senate for a vote under the reconciliation process needing only 51 votes to pass.

Both parties stand to gain or lose significant political capitol in the public eyes based on their perception, how they work together during the meeting and what they say to the cameras.

Please stay engaged on this process. Watch it unfold and read the updates. Let your elected officials know how you stand. This process has always been viewed as a marathon not a sprint. We have hit the 20 mile marker. Please fight through the pain, the fatigue and remember the feelings you felt on that Tuesday night in January when Scott Brown proclaimed, “I am the 41st Senator from Massachusetts!”
