A Good Leader is Hard to Find

By JudiM Oct 25th 2006 at 6:00 pm EDT

I've attended a lot of candidate forums in the last few weeks, and I have to say that I'm very impressed by many of the people on your list. They've really listened to individual citizens, and they've really done their research about health care and the impact that our current system has on families.

By stark contrast, I've heard other candidates who seem to think that the solution to the crisis is creating a special account that I can put $5000 into. Of course the big problem with that is--I don't have $5000 to put in any account (which explains the currently dismal state of my bank account.)

I'm tired of elected officials who do nothing to control runaway health care costs. It's time for a change.

Show me the leadership!

Also listed in: Eau Claire for Health Care

Where's the leadership on health care reform, you ask?

Well, Eau Claire for Health Care surveyed 25 area legislative candidates on whether or not they supported the Eau Claire Health Care Referendum and compiled a list of supporters that we call...drum roll please..."Legislative Health Care Leaders." They are:

Pat Kreitlow--23rd Senate District

Kathleen Vinehout--31st Senate District

Ann Hraychuck--28th Assembly District

Michael Turner--68th Assembly District

Tim Swiggum--69th Assembly District

Rep.Barbara Gronemus--91st Assembly District

Rep. Terry Musser--92nd Assembly District

Curtis Miller--92nd Assembly District

Jeff Smith--93rd Assembly District

John Sarnowski--94th Assembly District

Since the first step in health care leadership is to pass the referendum telling the legislature to get off its collective butt and take action, these candidates are the leaders!
