How about a few phone calls or emails to your Tea Party friends. Point them to this article. The word’s getting out but way too slow if we don’t help it along.

At signing of RomneyCare

Romney thanked Ted Kennedy for "collaboration" on health care reform [YOUTUBE].

Federal/state collusion...note Romney's mention of "secretaries of state" at both levels.
