Oh, so you disagree with what he said in the video? Because what he did in the video, is something that the likes of Dennis Prager, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, etc., would probably never have the guts to do. |

And as difficult as it was to separate the message from the messenger, I was actually impressed with his speech.My question to Liebowitz is why does he support a party who's leadership of their love for this country is questionable at best? |

From Wikipedia:In February 2009, Congresswoman Maloney introduced the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which eventually passed following a protracted political battle in 2010. The U.S. House passed a new version of the act[5] in September 2010. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg asked the Senate to do the same.[6] In a Senate vote held on December 9, 2010, Democrats were unable to break a Republican filibuster against the bill.[7] Opposed Republicans expressed concerns over the $7.4 billion cost of the bill.[7] According to Republicans, the provisions to cover the cost of the healthcare program via an excise tax increase on foreign-made goods would violate international tax treaties.[8][9] They also raised concerns about creating an expansive new healthcare entitlement program and re-opening the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.[10] Many Republicans refused to end the filibuster until the Bush tax cuts were extended. Forty-two Senate Republicans had signed a pledge to filibuster all bills until the Bush tax cuts were renewed and the government was appropriately funded for the next several months.[9][11] With only 57 votes to end the Senate filibuster and an incoming influx of Republicans in the wake of the 2010 Congressional Elections, the bill's future looked increasingly doubtful towards the end of 2010.[9] Here are the cited references (sorry, the numbers don't copy): "H.R. 847: James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010". govtrack.us.

Apparently the Republicans were for it, but not at such a high price tag. Having said that, no price is too high for the gratitude that these heros did that faithful day. And IMO, it should have passed with unanimous bi partisan support, and it should have occurred during George W Buch's term. I stand corrected. |

Unfortunately, if the Director of the EPA hadn't given out incorrect information about the nature of the smoke the financial cost of caring for post-9/11 rescuers would have been way lower. :( |

As someone who was there on September 11th and most of the year afterward, this personally affects me. I go every single year for a medical checkup to make sure I don't have any sicknesses. |

I've been watching a Democratic Congress do everything that Jon Leibowitz has complained about for years.I've been watching the media do everything that Jon has cried about for even longer. I can't figure out why the guy pretends to be a Demonkkkrat, he really isn't one. |
