I was watching a town hall meeting in Texas on TV today and the congressman said that there was a section in the Health Care Bill that would shut down all doctor owned hospitals. That would mean 40 or more hospitals in texas would have to close not to mention hundreds if not thousands across the country. I think this is wrong and we as citizens should let our voices be heard by our elected officials. What do you say? 

How did your senators vote on the Concealed Carry Bill that was in the US  Senate today. Only one of my senators voted and he voted against the bill.

Here is a list of how every senator voted.

I disagree with both statements made by our president. What do you think?
