Yesterday, I wrote an article about what guest of honor United States Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) had to say about the health care bill that Democrats just voted out of committee on a party line vote on the Family PAC cruise Tuesday night.
Today, I’ll start a multi-part series showing some of the politicians and McHenry County folks who attended the fund raising event.
The August 11, 2009, Family PAC cruise had a goodly number of people on this non-election year. You see folks milling around the gang plank above.
Contributors to the political action committee like McHenry County’s Gene Brown, seen above, got to visit with Oklahoma’s United States Senator Tom Coburn before boarding.
Chicago’s 32nd Ward GOP Committeeman John Curry was among those taking the opportunity to talk with the Senator.
Family PAC’s Director Paul Caprio took the opportunity to talk with Senator Coburn as well.
Dr. Steve Sauerberg, the Republican opponent to U.S. Senator Dick Durbin last year, conversed with Coburn, too.
Part 2 tomorrow.

I am flattered that you chose a picture of me speaking with Senator Coburn to feature on your blog. I just want to note that my scowling was in reaction to the troublesome information the Senator, an experienced physician, was sharing with me regarding the current Senate and House bills on health care. He was telling me that medical malpractice cases result in 8% of the current costs of healthcare but that the so-called "reform" bills contain nothing to address the issue. I found Senator Coburn to be an intelligent, articulate advocate for liberty and free market issues.
Thanks again,
John Curry

That was the best of two photos, John.
