US Senator Patty Murray will be on our Capitol Hill to announce the creation of a new advocacy group dedicated to creating small biz-friendly public policy. CHS sponsor Cupcake Royale is hosting the Wednesday morning event. Royale owner Jody Hall has been a leading advocate for small businesses in the effort to overhaul the nation’s health care laws and was part of a roundtable discussion on reform at the White House last April.
UPDATE: Murray made a brief speech after introductions from Hall and Molly Moon Neitzel in which she praised small businesses for being the glue that holds communities together. Murray said the needs of small business owners should be provided for as health care reform rolls out. “This was the real story of why we needed health care reform,” Murray said.

Thanks. I will never go to Cupcake Royale for bringing this monster to my community.
You can keep repeating “health care reform” over and over again, but it doesn’t make it health care reform. Bush said over and over again that there were WMDs in Iraq and his repetition didn’t make it true. Pull your heads out of Obama’s asshole and look at the fucking bill instead of just regurgitating talking points handed down to you from above.
Cupcakes and ice cream are two things you should not be eating if you are concerned about health care reform. America is too fat and that impacts healthcare.
