Senate Finance Committee drops "Death Panel Provisions" From Senate Bill

This is great news but this is also no time to rest on laurels or become complacent. The provision could still end up in the final bill. We have a long way to go, and this section was just one of many objectionable things about this bill. No doubt Sarah Palin deserves a lot of credit for this but the lions share of it belongs to those of you who have contacted your reps, carried signs, gone to tea parties, visited with your reps at town hall meetings, written letters to the editor, put messages on facebook and twitter and have otherwise put the pressure on in countless ways. Take the Finance Committee's decision as a sign that grassroots efforts can and will make a difference! Keep up the good work and keep up the pressure!!
