| As an individual, you can practise eating the food you want in a controlled way. |

“I can tell you that I’ve heard from a lot of people who volunteered for her and contributed to her who said at the time of her first vote on health care, ‘That’s it. What did I work so hard for if she is just going to vote like a Republican?’ ” said Robert Duffy, a political scientist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. |
“I want to vote for the bill,” DeGette said. “I helped write the bill. But the one thing we have learned is that we can fix a lot of things later, but if you really give up a woman’s right to choose, you can’t fix that later. That’s gone.” Read more at www.denverpost.com |
