Dead in Republican Districts
The floor is often bombarded with a bunch of bullshit to waste time.
Amazingly, Rep. Alan Grayson actually bombarded it with something of importance, but Rep. Phil Gingrey wasn’t having it…
Dehumanizing legislation makes it easier to support and tear down…
But, when real people and their lives are encompassed in the discussion of legislation, that’s when things get complicated.
Thank you Rep. Grayson for complicating this legislation, and I mean it. Thank you for listing those that might have lived…
And go to Hell Rep. Gingrey.
Burn.

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) took to the floor Wednesday night to read the names of those who had died from lack of health insurance in Republican districts.
Grayson also read stories from his website Namesofthedead.com, which collects health care tragedies from around the country.
“Is it really asking too much of us that we keep people alive?” he asked. Later he added,
“We can save these people, or we can let them die.”
Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) called for the clerk to take down Grayson’s words — leading to an adjournment. But when the House reconvened, Grayson continued naming Republican representatives and the dead in their districts.
