Subject: DJP Update 1-18-2010 The Eyes of America are on Massachusetts – Election tomorrow!
This will be one of the most exciting U.S. Senate races in our lifetime because of the ramifications for health system reform. You already know that.
Physicians are engaged in the debate around the Nation. Folks on this DJP Update list sit on both sides of the debate about the current bills being rushed through Congress. We are so fortunate to be Americans and have the opportunity to express our views on important topics without fear of what others suffer in some countries where freedom does not exist.
A few updates.
Here is a tweet I send out a few minutes ago via DJPNEWS on Twitter: NYTimes: Democrats May Seek to Push Health Bill Through House http://tinyurl.com/yzpytnd

Tune in tomorrow night! And regardless of outcome, watch what will happen in Congress. Like a rock thrown across the surface of a pond, there will be ripples! Dramatic ones! Never give up on Americans. They can be kept in the dark only so long and then they speak up. ——-
Today is a holiday dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and here is a quote from Dr. King:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction….The chain reaction of evil–hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars–must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.”
Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.
