Touching us all

(Read time: 2 minutes)

Early this week I planned today’s post, which focuses on one of the most crucial problems facing our country – affordable health care for all Americans.

Yesterday John and Elizabeth Edwards made health the news topic of the day.

Thoughts and prayers are with this courageous and admirable couple as they face the challenges before them.

A number of presidential candidates will answer questions about the future of health care in America at a live forum Saturday, 24 March, beginning at 12:15 p.m. ET (9:15 a.m. PT).

Participants scheduled are Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama and Bill Richardson.

Noteworthy: all Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls were invited to join this critical discussion.

The forum, sponsored by the Center for American Progress and the Service Employees International Union, will be held at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

At their invitation, Frodo and Sam sent a personal message to John & Elizabeth at the campaign web site. Frodo said that perhaps, by some bizarre twist of Fate, new credence will be given to one of the true important issues of our time. Frodo also said that he hoped to see them both in Atlanta, soon.
