This is an amazing video of an amazing speech!
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse spoke courageously and truthfully on the floor of the Senate chamber during a late night fight on 12/20/09 for health care reform. The Senator states: "When it turns out there are no death panels, when there is no bureaucrat between you and your doctor, when the ways your health care changes seem like a good deal to you, and a pretty smart idea, when the American public sees the discrepancy between what really is, and what they were told by the Republicans, there will be a reckoning. There will come a day of judgment about who was telling the truth."
POWERFUL!
