What&#8217;s wrong with the American health care system? The development of new treatments and technologies has far outstripped the ability of people to pay for them.

While doctors and researchers are constantly working to improve the treatment of disease and injury, too many Americans lose their health insurance if they lose their jobs.           ]]></description>

I am amazed at some of the items that come to us from each of the news media outlets. Is it the news, or an effort to be first with the news? Television has &#8220;breaking news alerts&#8221; and the &#8220;crawler&#8221; is continuous. The newspaper has the headlines to catch your eye.

We should notice the stories that don&#8217;t make the front page. When President George W. Bush did not go out to the Gulf of Mexico and confront Hurricane Katrina but allowed it to come into Louisiana, dislodging wards of the state, that was news! We are talking front page here! The very idea that President Bush did not even try to turn the storm away was almost treason in itself.           ]]></description>

I am writing to express my utter and total disgust with Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5th. On several occasions, I have sent him e-mails on issues and have received no reply. 

But this is not uncommon, because I know of others who cannot get a reply or a straight answer from him. He is a poor example of a congressman in the poorest example of Congress that we have had in the last 100 years. He is a lapdog of Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party that is wastefully spending money like there is no end to it.            ]]></description>
