Thanks for your support for this effort. Indeed, we need someone with deep pockets to air this. HealthJustice is trying to raise money to televise in Washington, D.C.

Also, for those interested, I will be doing a live radio spot on "Of the People" this Sunday, April 26 at 3 p.m. on AM950 KTNF (formerly Air America Minnesota) with Host James Mayer. Live stream: http://www.am950ktnf.com/listen
