@Bill, Hi Bill,
Great to hear from you and thank you for all your continued support! I want to let you know that we have moved away from our summer Soraya campaign and are now responding to posts at http://www.moralcourage.com
You can even find a copy of Irshad's interview on the Morning Joe and let her supporters know what you think.
I hope you will join us at the new website!

I cannot believe the Ted Kennedy had any inclanation to have the Workers, ALL BY THEMSELVES, buy coverage for all, no cancellation and mobility.

He was for all of these reforms, but not have the worker pay for it all. We need a fair tax code to distribute the cost to include the stock market wealth and people who make more than $1,000,000.00 to pay their relative %

To create a Moral economy we must have money in the hands of the consumer, not take it away

You just said on Morning Joe that John Kennedy did not show Moral Courage with the Bay of Pig disaster. NOT TRUE!

Kennedy stood up to the Joint Chief of Staff (DOD), the CIA and the HAWKS by refusing to invade Cuba. This took GREAT MORAL COURAGE.

He made a personal mistake of going along with the Majority of his Cabinet to support the Bay of Pigs with a US Military and CIA fly over. Later he said the buck stopped with him and he took credit for the lack of CIA coordination. Stating he would listen to his Cabinet, but make the final decision in the end like he did with the Cuban Missle Crisis

I think it's really important to remind people that Kennedy was very staunchly Catholic, but he as also staunchly pro-choice. The two are not mutually exclusive, and it is sad for the pro-choice movement that we've lost such a visible supporter.
