Friends,

Thank you so much for sending in your notes to Senator Cornyn regarding health care issues.

I have just printed 34 beautiful notes to carry with me to the meeting today.

Including DJ Mark Anthony’s request for the Senator to report the lies on TV commercials and the colorful picture of Pat Boone.

It is not enough to write President Barack Obama, we have to contact our elected officials, in particular the ones that are not supporting our Prez.

It is not too late, send in your notes to me anytime, John Cornyn's office is 5 minutes from my front door.

Also attend the town hall meetings being organized by our reps.

Yesterday Julie and I attended the one in the Fifth Ward, it was an interesting experienced actually being there vs. watching on TV.

Our Madam Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee did a fabulous job! She came prepared with presentation boards and handouts of the bill.

SJL was very clear and to the point on issues. She was kind and listen to the speakers and promised to take back to Congress our views and concerns.

She kept control of the meeting beautifully! The folks that spoke out without being called on were not addressed and ended up looking disrespectful and foolish.

Congresswoman Jackson Lee clearly sorted thru some of the creative fabrications, lies, and misconceptions floating out there. It was difficult for me to keep a straight face listening to some of the comments from confused and angry audience.

I think some folks are just extremely disappointed we have a Democratic government in place now. They display anger and frustration using the usual rhetoric.

I posted the pictures from the meeting on http://www.facebook.com/maria.isabel and will add to Flickr later after my meeting today.
