As some of you know I have a congenital heart defect, well I started a charity here in the US for people like me, with the goal of supporting each other and raising awareness.
I have now been invited though this to talk on healthcare reform for people with congenital heart disease on Capitol Hill in February so in front of the newly appointed congress.
I never been so please in my life as it seems all the hard work me and a few other survivors of heart disease have managed to do in the last few months.

All I want now is brown envelopes from drug companies and health insurance companies.
As much as I think McCain is a joke I am hoping he wins over Obama as I do not want my taxes to go up.
