You mean they didn't count your vote? BTW Last selection (2000), people whined that Gore should have won with the ~500,000 popular vote margin and that a conspiracy stole the election in Florida. Now we have a clear winner by both Popular vote and Electoral college vote and I'm hearing the same old whine.
http://www.brookesnews.com/040811bushwin.html It is over, now we have a President with no reason to bend to any political whim because neither he nor the VP will be running next time. So lets band together, write your Senator to get S. 1394 (the Money Follows the Person Act) passed and submitted to the President. If we see any hesitation by any member, (I for one will try to catch the vote on C-Span) we can launch an e-mail program to every person in their State if we have too. This is one Bill that will effect almost everyone who lives long enough. Let's quit the whinning and do something. If you haven't contacted your Senator yet, DO IT! S. 1394 Do it now.
