    Here’s an idea I’ve been kicking around, something to really send a message. What would y’all think about a crowd funding campaign to erect a life sized bronze statue of Luigi, to be commissioned and installed in NYC as close to the shooting site as possible? Alternatively or in addition, a statue could be installed somewhere near UHC’s headquarters in Minnesota.

    Some googling suggests a statue like that will cost between $25k-250k. That seems quite doable as far as crowd funding goes.

    I’m not particularly partial to statues myself. I would see its value mainly as a means of sending a message, keeping the topic of health reform in the headlines, etc.
