The Practical Paraplegic

by Sofiea Clerico
Tuesday afternoon. Today I telephoned Senator Diane Feinstein’s office in Fresno, California  to register my opinion on health care. This time I got a machine. Again I stated I wanted the Senator to know I back one-payer insurance but would accept the public option.

Then I called Barbara Boxer at her Fresno office. A lovely young woman who identified herself as Bobbie answered the phone. I passed along my “want one-payer but will settle for public option” message. They both had easy-to read websites and the phone number was easy to read on the site.

From now on I intend to be quick to register my opinion, especially on this matter. Now I can claim I’m a good American who stays up on current events and speaks out when an issue hits close to home.
