We have just begun to fight. Now the House and Senate negotiations will formally begin, to craft a compromise version that bill be signed by Obama. We already know where Senator Buur stands, with the people. What can we do about our other representatives, Hagan, Butterfield and Etheridge? We must send emails, letters, make the phone calls and tell them what needs to be the real reform in our healthcare.
