Put yourself on the map for health care

I believe Barack Obama is going to put together a Presidential plan that will as boldly and as carefully as possible seek to address the problems facing the country. I am not advocating harassing him to make his job harder with "special interest demands." By the same token, I believe if there is an issue that you think needs addressing, you have to speak up and let it be known, so that a issue moves from being a "special interest" (like a tax writeoff to communications companies for installing fiber-optic cables) to being an important issue, like the economy.
Health care is a profound issue to me because I think it costs too much. It hurts employers that must pay for health plans. It robs individuals of their available spending money, which drags the economy down by reducing purchasing power.
http://action.seiu.org/healthcaremap4/index.php is a web site sponsored by the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) where you add yourself to a Google map there of people supporting Health Care! If you have no problem pinpointing yourself on a google map that everyone can see, go add yourself. Click on the Fresno area and try to find me. (It's not hard, the last I checked, only four Fresnans were on the map.)
