Legislative change, especially at the Federal level in the U.S., takes a long time. The people who are upset about the passing of health care reform will undoubtedly try to make a point to slow down Obama's next objective, the climate bill. Personally, I am disgusted at the amount of political bickering and associated violence attached to the health care bill, and saddened that a likely victim is the climate bill. We don't have time to waste.
I was, however, encouraged by some student action I read about in the Terre Haute, Indiana Tribune-Star. The article and people involved are right on the money about how we can't wait around for federal action. We must start locally, and at a state level. Indiana certainly isn't the only state where local action is brewing, and that's great news! Keep it up, people!
