We should all take the time to thank President Bush for leading the fight for prescription drug coverage for senior citizens. Democrats have failed in every attempt to date in getting any bill passed even when they controlled the presidency and the congress. President Bush has taken the first bold step. We should all study this plan and understands the implications. It is very expensive but President Bush feels our aging population is in need of help. The bill doe snot solve all the problems but does serve as a good first step in reducing the cost of prescription drugs for those not covered by insurance. We should join in supporting these moves and encouraging people to understand and take advantage of them. We should join in supporting the next step. I am encouraged that we have a leadership in the Whitehouse that has been able to overcome the daunting obstacles in getting this past. Thank you Mr. President, you have done more than just made empty promises you have delivered where no one has delivered before and given hope to those in need. Regards and Peace and Love to all.
