Idaho is putting Medicaid Expansion on the ballot this fall:
Congratulations! #medicaid expansion will be on the #idaho ballot in November! Regular Idahoans put in countless hours of work talking to their friends and neighbors to make this happen, gathering so many signatures we blew state req.s out of the water! pic.twitter.com/lRTlpzwbtj

So if you live in Idaho, you know what to do — go vote
And if you live anywhere else in this country, do the same thing — go vote.
Make this country a little bit better in November.

Yay!

When it gets on the ballot, has it ever been voted down?
MomSense
Well done, Idaho!

That is good news. I hope Idaho does the right thing.

I’m beginning to get little glimmers of hope that November will be good even in the reddest states.

That is great news!
@Dorothy A. Winsor: Good question.

Thanks Obama!!!

Nebraska got 135,000 signatures on a initiative that only needed 85,000 to put expansion on the ballot in November.
Of course a couple of state senators are trying to block it but it doesn’t look good for them.

Yay!!!

FRABJOUS!!! I’ll see if some friends down there need some support.

I know we had a little blue states vs red states kerfuffle yesterday, but this is the answer for red staters: get out there and see what you can do to start to move things in the right direction. Once you have a ballot initiative or a good candidate, us blue staters can help you out.

It’s suppose to be on the ballot in Nebraska as well, but two jerks filed suit, represented by a guy who was a friend in high school, but turned out to be a racist POS GOP operative. Wish I was still in touch so I could tell him to FOAD.

Yeah
I missed this news :)
