weekly radio address. arizona senator jon kyl said that the white house plan would be especially harmful to small businesses. >> their plan would increase spending by more than $2 trillion when fully implemented, and would, according to the nonpartisan congressional budget office, add additional costs on to an already unsustainable system. they propose to pay for this new washington-run health care system by dramatically raising taxes on small business owners. small businesses create jobs. approximately 2/3 of new jobs in the last decade. with a shaky economy and the need for new jobs, the last thing that the president and congress should do is impose new taxes on america's small businesses. new taxes on small business would cripple job creation, especially jobs for low wage earners. >> there is no doubt major hurdles do lie ahead for the president's health care

initiative. jim acosta from cnn explains the battle is about to get very personal. >> reporter: before washington takes another step on health care reform, this woman wants the politicians to hear her story. >> if we don't change this now, my story will be their story. >> reporter: her 17-year-old cancer-stricken daughter natalie made national headlines when the health insurance company denied coverage for a liver transplant in late 2007. they raised the rockets and the company reversed its decision. the moment caught on camera. but it was too late. that same evening, natalie died. >> now she's in heaven. >> reporter: she was brought to washington by democratic activists pushing for a perform bill that would give americans the option of joining a government-run plan to compete with private insurers, the option they say, will keep the industry honest.

>> this is my message tofrn. insurance companies cannot decide who is going to live and who is going to die >> reporter: she will have to win over an army of doubters. >> they are taxings too much to get there and writing legislation that is totally partisan that isn't going to work. >> reporter: to special interest groups, beverage companies are running an ad that would pay for a part in a beverage tax. >> this is no time to add a tax on pleasures we all enjoy. >> reporter: the president is ready to play hard bawl. >> those ready to oppose our efforts should take a hard look. >> reporter: the democratic party has an ad out aimed at its own senators waivers on reform. >> it's time for health care reform. >> reporter: the message war over health care, hilda vows no

surrender. >> i'm going to face congress and meet the president and tell them, he got the responsibility to become the president and we are proud of it, but guess what, we need something in return. >> reporter: the president wants the house and senate to wrap up their work on health care reform before law makers take their long august break. the halls of congress may get crowded as supporters of reform plan to flood those hallways with more people like hilda. jim acosta, cnn, washington. police are releasing more details about a motive in the killing of a florida couple. at least one rumor surrounding byrd and melanie billings is put to rest as family members and friends say their final good-byes.

investigators are working on the hotel bombing attacks in jakarta. they made a grisly discovery, the remains of another victim in the rubble. indonesian police don't know if it's a hotel guest or a suicide bomber. police suspect a notorious militant may be behind the

attacks on the two american hotels in indonesia. the group led by malaysian fugitive noordin top has been linked to previous attacks in jakarta and bali and reportedly has ties to al qaeda. police say they are not sure he is involved, but the evidence does indicate that he may be. two suicide bombers hit jw marriott and rilts-carlton hotels yesterday killing at least nine people. more than 50 others were wounded including six americans. secretary of state hillary clinton says the hotel bombings in indonesia are a reminder of the reality of the terrorist threat. clinton spoke about the explosions during a visit to mumbai today. it is the first stop in her week-long visit to india and thailand. she's scheduled to speak with indian government officials tomorrow and on monday about a wide range of issues.

>> a usf-15 jet has crashed in afghanistan killing two crew members. the u.s. military says the crash happened in eastern afghanistan early this morning. so far the military hasn't said what led to the crash but they say it was not caused by hostile fire because a second fighter plane traveling with the f-15 didn't see any evidence of enemy fire. somali pirates released a cargo ship they've been holding captive for several months. the german ship "victoria" and the 11 crew members are said to be safe. it's not clear whether a ransom was paid. the pirates hijacked the ship in the waters off somalia may 5th. the area has been a hot bed of pirate activity despite increased military presence. check out this bus exploding into flames. the nine passengers and driver did get out safely but the force of the blast was so strong it blew out the windows. the fire spread to some nearby brush and burned about ten acres. investigators are still trying to figure out what caused this. the bus had already pulled over on the shoulder of interstate 5 near los angeles when the fire started. police and relatives are

trying to end some rumors about this florida couple, byrd and melanie billings, who were killed at home on july 9th in a home invasion robbery. eight people have been arrested so far in the case. there's been speculation that the robbery wasn't the only motive. police say the suspects took a safe from the house. they haven't said what the suspects expected to find but the family says there was nothing of great value. >> as a result of the intense speculation regarding the motive of the crime i have been authorized to tell you that the safe that was removed from the billings home contained only children's prescription medications, important family documents, and some jewelry of sentimental value. hopefully, this will put to rest the intense speculation and rumors that are swirling about the billings family. >> hundreds of people showed up

for the couple's funeral in pensacola yesterday. byrd and melanie billings adopted 13 special needs kids over the years. a church pastor read a letter from one of their daughters at the funeral and she said she'll tell her son some day how much people cried at the injustice done to her parents. a hearing on the custody of michael jackson's kids has been pushed back a third time now. it is set now to happen august 3rd. a jackson family lawyer says jackson's mother, katherine, and his ex-wife debbie rowe, have been working privately since jackson's death to try to resolve the custody issue over jackson's two oldest children. katherine jackson has been given temporary guardianship over the children. we are remembering a giant of the news world today. so many of cronkite's colleagues are honors his memory.

we are hearing a lot from you who are mourning the loss of beloved news anchor walter cronkite. many of the public figures speaking today about his death are themselves old school journalists. you're letting us know uncle walter was very relevant to many young americans as well. i-reporter, kyle, attended the walter cronkite school of journalism at arizona state university. >> obviously we have i-report

which is helping change it, but he was very involved in that and wanted to be a part of the next wave of broadcasting and the generation that is the next waive of the new media. so it was definitely something he was trying to take what he knew and pass it on to students now that hopefully one day will be like him. >> and now let's hear from this i-reporter who does his own let's just say unusual newscasts on the internet under the name of naked boy news. >> he is an amazing journalist. he was one of those people that was not only a gentleman but had the utmost integrity, ethics, morals, conviction, and drive to get the story 100% right all of the time. from covering the king assassination to the vietnam war to the jfk assassination. walter cronkite is a true american journalist.

>> we have viewers from a different generation remembering cronkite. one uses the word "amazing" to separate emotion from his reporting. she remembers his coverage of the kennedy assassination. >> i know he really liked president kennedy tremendously as we all did, but it really, really got to him when he actually got the news on the wire that the president had actually died and he reported that and you could see the emotion started to come through and he checked it and went on reporting. so today we've lost an inspiration really, and as i said, a wonderful man. i think he led a wonderful life and he was a wonderful example and should continue to be a wonderful example for us all. a great american.

that's the way it is, july 17, 2009. bye, walter. >> a lot of people touched by his passing and his legacy, as well. we would like to share some of the e-mail we've been receiving. john says walter cronkite has now gone to the moon and beyond. rest in peace, walter. thank you for bringing us the world and beyond. another viewer writes, over the years i learned more with mr. cronkite about politics and international issues than i would have with any other broadcaster. in my opinion, he was a giant among men. you can share your memories from walter cronkite by e-mailing us. cnn.com/hln and click under your views. cronkite was a huge proponent of the apollo moon mission. we would like to know your views of the future of lunar exploration. should the nation be spending time and resources to get back to the moon now?

[ music ] >> welcome to comcast local edition, i'm donna richardson, and my guest this hour is christine bergmark who is the executive director of the southern maryland agricultural development commission. welcome, christine, it's good to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> that's a big mouthful, and i know that you're working on an extremely exciting program, bi-local challenge. >> it is an initial that we launched two years ago, and essentially what it is is the last full week of july we ask everyone across the state of maryland and beyond to take a pledge, and the pledge is eat

something or drink from a farm every day during that week. >> oh. so where do we get the information about where to find the farms or how do we sign up for this pledge? >> well, there's a website. it's www.by-local-challenge.com that website will give you all sorts of information why to buy local and where to buy local and it connects you to other statewide initiatives that are going on at the same time. if you go to the website, we've added a count. people used to say, where do i sign up? normally you have to go buy, eat something from a local farm. this year we decided to add a counter to the website. when you are' counted, you can receive a certificate with your name on it that you can put up in your office or your home or wherever. >> which is very, very important. it's reduces your carbon foot

print because you're driving hopefully a shorter distance, you have access to local products that are available, and also it helps the farmers. >> well, and in fact, our theme this year is healthy plate, healthy planet. all kinds of benefits to buying local, benefits for you, healthy, nutrition, it's fresh, and preserving our farms survive, we keep clean water, we keep clean air, we reduce the carbon footprints from things traveling 1500 miles, and it tastes good. >> exactly. now for those people who may not cook, how can they be a part of this? >> yeah, sometimes people say, well, i hate to cook. that's okay. you can go to a store or to a restaurant that features local farm products, and there are more and more restaurants every year, some of them are on our website, and you can click throughout to find out who they are,. >> what kind of items can we

acquire localfully. >> during the last week of july, there is so much product available. there's sweet corn, blackberries, all kinds of tomatoes and melons are in season, and of course, there's always wine, cheese, eggs, meatss. >> so we do have a wide variety of things we can get. say that i go and i go to a local farmer's market and purchase something, what is a vegetable that i'm not quite familiar with, how did i find a recipe. >> excellent question. there are recipes on our website. people can post their own recipes of their own events and own blogs by why they buy local. some of the things i wanted to mention is the economic benefits. we talked about the planet, we talked about the fact that it

tastes good, and it's fun, but there's also the benefit of supporting our farms, and if every household in the state mucofmaryland were to buy just 2 worth of products for 8 weeks, basically the summer season that, would put $200 million straight back into the pockets of our farmers. that would do a lot to keep our farmers thriving. >> which is so important. i know we have less than 30 seconds, but you have some partners that you wouldn't typically think of who have now joined in. >> yes. hospitals are joining in this year. fact, they're looking to do a competition to see how many people they can get involved. >> have you exciting. christine, thank you very much for coming in today. >> thank you. >> my guest today has been christine bergmark with the southern agricultural commission. if you're interested in what comcast is doing in your area, go to on demand and click get
