Since I stepped out of the Corporate morass a couple of years ago, I have become much more tuned in to my health and to reading my body.  No, I don’t have the Constitution tattooed on my body, I just pay closer attention to it.

A few weeks back I was writing my bike and  reading the latest edition of Forbes magazine (”free” courtesy of my airline miles–hey at least they are good for something), I came across Steve Forbes brief article encouraging anyone and everyone to sign the “Free Our Health Care NOW” petition.  It is a grass roots campaign to enable little people like me and maybe you to make our collective voices heard.

After the bike ride I perused the petition at freeourhealthcarenow.com and signed it.   It is logical, pragmatic, and supports a position that I too believe in.  It is short, it is simple, it takes less than 5 minutes to read, digest, and sign. 

Here’s the thing, in the few weeks since I wrote the original article, the conservative talk show hosts have really gotten behind this movement and have been beating the war drums of collective voice.  Today there are nearly 330,000 folks who have signed the petition.  It feels like the start of a pretty good drizzle, but a torrential downpour of noise would be much sweeter.  It is not a document of political rhetoric or hatred; simply a pragmatic approach toward the stated goal of both political parties.

Check it out, sign it if it makes sense and forward it to a friend.  If you disagree, no problem.  I would be pleased with anyone who at least pauses a moment to give health care some reflection.
