NamesOfTheDead.com, a Web site intended to honor the 44,000 people who die annually because they do not have health insurance, is the latest attempt by Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., to draw attention to the healthcare reform effort on Capitol Hill. "I hope that honoring them will help us end this senseless loss of American lives. If you have lost a loved one, please share the story of that loved one with us," the freshman lawmaker wrote on the site. "Help us ensure that their legacy is a more just America, where every life that can be saved will be saved."
Grayson announced the site on the floor of the House on Wednesday and the National Republican Congressional Committee was quick to post a clip on YouTube (see above), calling it the Democrat's "most shameless stunt yet."
