Report in From Bettendorf DFA Party
by Molly Regan, DFIA Environmentalist
[Last
night] during the house party/fundraiser at Alta's house, I was chosen
to ask a question during the conference call with…you guessed it,
GOVERNOR HOWARD DEAN! It took several tries to break into the
lineup, but was able to do it & asked a question written up by
Karen Metcalf, a strong health care advocate here in Scott county and
DEANER.
I did start out by mentioning that I was running for Soil & Water
Conservation Commission & Gov. Dean said “Good for you!” (or words
to that effect). Those in the room cheered & I told him that
was my steering committee. We all laughed. They were all
very excited, while I was just plain nervous. The question was
about a report by a number of medical groups that universal health care
in this country probably would not be in place until 2010. I
cannot remember much about THE GOVERNOR'S answer other than he thought
it could be done sooner. Alta or Karen will probably remember
more of exactly what he said. I was still too pumped up to catch
everything. I forgot to invite him to my fundraiser next week, so
I emailed the info to Vermont. Here I go again, asking him to
come back to IOWA. One of these days, it will happen.
