“Nothing is more fatal to health than an over care of it.” - Benjamin Franklin
The current debate on health care reform seems to have reached its final boiling point and the American people have finally chosen their sides.

During my time there I handled tens of thousands of phone calls, emails, faxes and letters. My congressman’s office was above average in responsiveness to constituents and we worked hard to make sure that every form of contact got a response. However, some letters, faxes, emails and phone calls grabbed our attention more than others. These were the contacts which were most likely to carry weight and get mentioned to the Congressman.
