STL MO Fri., Sept. 25

Phyllis Schlafly, and her group "Eagle Forum" have landed in St. Louis, MO this weekend, for a two day conference titled:

How to Take Back America: "a crash course in conservative grassroots activism, featuring nearly forty speakers presenting twenty-four “how-to” workshops."

Last evening, one of many candlelight vigils held across the U.S., commenced in Tower Grove Park, in the City of St. Louis, MO.

Sharing my personal health care woe story, through a bull horn, to a sea of candlelight and fellow vigilkeepers, gave me hope, again.  I was, then, interviewed by a local, long time reporter with the St. Louis Beacon, our local online "paper".

In an e-mail I received Aug. 21, Eric Seitz, attorney for Leonard Peltier said the following:

As August moves towards September, as kids go back to school, I find myself ready to work for HC/HI reform via the organization that bears the name of my candidate and now President, Barack Obama:  Organizing for America aka Obama for America (OFA).

Here in the St. Louis area, my Senator and my Congressman, Claire McCaskill and Russ Carnahan have had their Town Hall Meetings disrupted and cancelled because of violence and fear.
