We'll see how long it lasts...<br /><br />Stef, fingers crossed we can STAY over this hurdle. Bob was very touched by your appraisal of what he wrote.<br /><br />Lilian, oh, of only more of the caring voices were heard than all those hateful voices we hear now!<br /><br />Cam, thank you! Let's get all our happy voices to out sing all the naysayers.<br /><br />Dorr, the death threat, etc. are very scary, no? And over what? Helping others get something they need?

I really wonder what is going on with this country. But we can certainly be grateful and happy that the bill passed. It's not perfect, but it's so much better than the way things have been.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-88348081191919111832010-03-24T10:06:28.050-04:002010-03-24T10:06:28.050-04:00Hear, hear. What a lovely, eloquent, moving email ...Hear, hear. What a lovely, eloquent, moving email from The Minister (which is how I think of him) - I seriously had to consider defrieding people of facebook for the hate-mongering things they posted about this - and had to keep myself from joining in the fray. I love what he says about the widows and poor - wasn't it Anne Lamott who noted that no matter what religion you practice, if you don't care for the poor you probably aren't practicing correctly?Courtneyhttp://www.everythinginbetween.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-88545558612949868002010-03-23T00:30:07.914-04:002010-03-23T00:30:07.914-04:00Bravo Bob!
