Holy shit, that's terrible.
Can you believe it?

In the end, he spent just about $1500, all things considered. Here the surgery alone would have cost $6500.

Its beyond ridiculous.
There were other accusations too, about stuff like people over the age of 70 not getting heart surgeries or cancer treatments. It all seemed a bit desperate, to be honest. I'd doubt anyone in the UK would grasp the reasons why people wouldn't want such a service, or want to oppose such legislation aimed at improving health care.
You know what the problem is Megatron? Misinformation. Neither of the controlling parties is particularly honest (that's a nice way of putting it) about what they do. The most vocal of the "angry citizens" seem to be flipping coins about which side they're on. A lot of the people currently bitching about Obama were originally thinking he'd fix all the problems they were bitching about under Bush.

It doesn't help that there are so many radical tv and radio personalities with so much power to sway people. You end up with thousands of people screaming about something they don't really understand.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I've realized that I don't really understand everything about social medicine, and considering what we're dealing with right now, I really should. I do know that I'm very unhappy with our government for a variety of reasons, but that's never going to go away.

My apologies for going off on this.

The site is back up
http://www.raiseitnow.com/3529/support- ... t-surgery/

Paypal works. If you do use paypal that takes 2% of your donation. Just using your credit card doesnt. Whatever is easy though.

We can all agree that US health care blows!!!

I used a credit card so they would get the whole amount. That blows that paypal still takes fees for stuff like donations. Maybe I can donate a little more at some point too.

I just used my credit card to give you guys for 100% of what I can give at this moment, but I think if Nathan is able to offer signed photographs from the NeoGeo music video, I think it can generate more interests.

Yes, Health Care reform is a heated topic, and I do hope people talk to one another to understand better of what's needed, instead of following some big-months without thinking. There is no perfect solution, but everyone has to work together.

Whoever donates send me a PM with your address and I'll send you a Keith picture. Let me know if you want my signature or Keith's. I'll try to get a still from the Neo Geo video if you want but I dont know how the quality will be. I have a bunch of this picture of Keith if that is cool with people.

2.Classic Keith Shirt
3.Talking Classics The Game BIG poster
4.Signed Keith headshot
5.Keith leaves your Voice mail message
6.Signed Polaroid of Kelly Apicary
7.Trale Lewous T Shirt
8.Trale Lewous Leaves your voicemail message
9.And a custom Keith Apicary mini MAME arcade Cabinet (The size of these)

It would be red like a neo geo and signed by Keith. Possibly have a big image of him as the art. All the money would go to Alyson's surgery.

Sound cool to anyone?

Sound like good ideas to me. Shipping on even mini cabs might be kinda crazy though.
