I went to a GBIO meeting tonight for the first time in a while and I’ll be collecting more signatures Saturday morning.  More signatures need to be collected to keep the ballot initiative running.  The main concern remaining with the health care initiative is the individual mandate and the definition of “affordable” now that every [...]

I haven’t written about this in a while, and hardly at all since the bill was passed.  People in GBIO were pretty happy when the bill was passed, but there were a few concerns expressed.  I’ve come to understand that one of the main tasks of organizing involves making points simple and easy to remember.  [...]

The T Riders Union in Boston is co-sponsoring a great publicity stunt this Tuesday to protest poor bus service. On the day after the Boston Marathon, 25 bus riders will ride 7 bus routes for the amount of time that it took Monday’s Marathon winner to run 26 miles. Riders will be wearing [...]

It seemed like whenever I posted that a bill was soon to come, there were delays. And, sure enough, when I don’t post anything, the bill actually comes out. It’s really interesting to see how much goes in to drawing up a bill like this one. The process took forever and was [...]

Last I heard, the House/Senate compromise bill is supposed to be released today.  Then we’ll see what’s actually in it.
To follow up on some of the points from my previous post, both Amy Ridenour and Malcolm Gladwell emailed me back.  Amy Ridenour noted that she didn’t know much about what was going on in Massachusetts [...]

I got an email from the GBIO main office last week about the final health care legislation set to be released by the health care conference committee tomorrow.  The email also said that a memo from Health Care For All would be posted on the GBIO web site this weekend outlining what is believed to [...]

It seemed like after we had stopped collecting signatures, that the issue of health care just faded away.  We knew that the House had crafted a bill that was similar in many points to the ballot initiative, but that the senate had not been as receptive.  That was months ago.
A couple weeks ago, the talk [...]

Boston.com, after running several articles about health care reform, has finally published one specifically about GBIO and our involvement in the health care debate that’s going on. The article focuses specificly on Rev. Hurmon Hamiltion and Rabbi Jonah Pesner who together wrote an op-ed piece on health care in August. The article looks [...]

I wanted to post about this on Monday, but I’m just now getting the time. There was an article on Boston.com about the completed renovations on the Roxbury Presbyterian Church building and the services held on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The article, I think, misses the most significant aspects of the weekend festivities. [...]

Ok not Samson, but Johnny Damon who has joined the clean cut New York Yankees.
I remember asking someone a couple months ago what Johnny Damon’s hair was worth. He certainly wasn’t getting as much media attention before he grew it out, and likely wouldn’t be making $13 million per year right now if he [...]
