For Immediate Release

Nov. 21, 2009

 

Statement of Bob Fulkerson, State Director, Progressive Leadership Alliance, regarding the Senate vote to proceed with debate on health care reform legislation:

 

“Nevada’s working families can take comfort in this historic breakthrough on health care reform. Sen. Reid has demonstrated tremendous leadership in getting to the 60 votes necessary to move this landmark bill forward. It is unfortunate that his colleague from Nevada, Sen. Ensign, has chosen to side with the insurance companies and against consumers.  We are about to enter a new era in achieving affordable, accessible health care for all.”

Friday Fish Wrap: November 20, 2009

We’re ending the week on a cultural note, going to a performance this evening by Pilobus, the international dance troup at the Grand Sierra Resort. I think I’ve figured out how to make things like this happen more often - buy the tickets when you first hear about it and put it on the calendar. It’s done. You’ve got to go, since you already have the tickets.

I’m feeling pretty good about myself today, having stepped on the scale and been spot on at 135.5 lbs. Even after nearly a week in Florida, lunching and drinking up with a crowd of my nearest and dearest. Now if I could just lose one or two before Thanksgiving …  yeah, right.

Hey, it rained, snowed and blowed hard here in Reno today. I walked into the office all wet and windblown this afternoon and one of my office mates and I did the snow-happy dance. Yes, I can visualize myself gliding down the slopes at Mt. Rose next week - before turkey day! Yippee.

How cool is that?
