Besides voting in November, I did my first ACTIVE political move today. I have sent rote emails to political candidates before but today I called Rep. Dave Reichert's office. I called to let him know that I did not want him to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Of course, as a Republican, he will vote for it but I felt that I had to let him know (well, his office) that I didn't want him to do that.

We'll see what happens. I honestly believe that universal healthcare creates a strong, healthy society which makes for a great society.
