It appears that Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill got an earful today at her "Town Hall" meeting in Hillsboro. My real job had me in the car much of the day and I listened to more than one newscast on KMOX. Since I was driving, I didn't take notes but I heard a couple of encouraging things reported. First off, there was a report that when folks were asked to show their hands if they opposed Obamacare and an estimated 80% of the crowd did.
Second, and even more importantly, I heard that McCaskill promised to vote against any healthcare bill that included federal funding for abortion. (That promise is confirmed here in a story by KWMU - sorry KMOX, I couldn't find confirmation at your site.)
We heard you Senator. And we'll hold you to your promise.
(As an aside, I also heard KMOX report that Congressman Lacy Clay claimed that Obamacare was not an attempt to socialize medicine in the United States. He must either be dishonest, uninformed, or have a very funny definition of socialized medicine.)
