Health care vote: Thank or spank your Representative

~

https://secure.downsizedc...

D o w n s i z e r - D i s p a t c h | We need to . . .

* Thank the 215 Reps who voted against the cancerous health care bill
* Spank the 220 House members who voted for it
* Copy Senators on these messages so they'll be reminded of where we stand

Do this | Check here to see how your Rep. voted: http://clerk.house.gov/ev...

You can use what I wrote to my Representative as a model for a "spank" letter . . .


Congressman ____________

I am VERY angry that you voted for HR 3962. I am copying my Senators on this message because I want them to take note of it, and oppose similar legislation in the Senate.

You failed in your responsibility to read this legislation before voting yes. You cannot possibly really know or understand what you passed, but I will be responsible for all 2,000 pages of it. I am extremely angry that, because of your irresponsibility, I may soon be forced to pay for and submit to a monstrous scheme I do not want!

Please be clear about this -- legislation like this is based on force. I am threatened with violence by policemen, bureaucrats, and tax collectors if I refuse to pay for or comply with your grand designs for re-engineering my life.

This complex piece of legislation will entangle my health care in ever-expanding nets of government control, pave the way for a complete government take-over of my health care, bankrupt many businesses, foster unemployment, and increase my taxes, either directly or indirectly, despite promises that this would not happen.

I am further angered that you could have taken simple steps to improve health care that would not have involved 2,000 pages of unread legislation loaded with special interest deals and corporate welfare.

You could have allowed Americans to buy health insurance regulated by the state of their choice, and you could have expanded the contribution limits for Health Savings Accounts to balance the tax treatment of self-purchased health insurance with that provided through employers.

These two simple steps would have solved many of the problems with our current health care system -- problems that were mostly caused by government policies in the first place. Instead of taking this simple, peaceful approach, you have decided to vote for complexity and coercion.

I want to remind you that the 10th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits Congress from passing this kind of legislation, but you did it anyway. You have just violated your oath of office.

If you really worked for me, instead of for special interests and the Congressional leadership, I would fire you immediately for gross incompetence. As it is I must wish you the worst of luck in the 2010 election.

Am I being too harsh? Please remember, you're the one using the threat of force against me to control my money and my healthcare. I am merely protesting your love of coercion.

You can still redeem yourself by voting no when this scheme comes back to you for a final vote. I will be watching, and informing fellow constituents of your actions.

END OF LETTER

Hmm...well, have a Republican in the house and 2 dems in the

senate. Could use some tweaking.

it's obvious

~
... he wrote his guy a spank letter, that he said could be used as a model letter for those who need to be reprimanded.

You could just write a brief thank you to your Republican Congressman for doing the right thing. A little effusive praise wouldn't hurt ... he is a politician, after all. : >

They don't read letters.

I know that's hard to fathom, but they don't. Good, bad or indifferent, no letter reading occurs. It's a 100% waste of time. You're writing a letter to a 16-19 year old intern who is skimming it for keywords to match with the appropriate bin for which form letter it's getting as a response. Sometimes another intern writes a personal message to the sender and the sender feels like a real special sam. It's all bs, I've worked in it.

It's for your own good that's why

You'll thank nobody later.

They criminalize to make a profit DUH

Republicans are all for profit, so we can't say PROFIT, instead, we have a dramic show with handcuffs. Why is marijuana criminalized? So government can make a prfot to GROW a massive police state, which, next tot he armed forces, has the largest socialized medical practice established in the US... so if you don't have insurance... you will get treatment at a prison facility.. what's wrong with that?

Republicans are saying their private hospitals are now socialized? I don't think so. We've got to put the sick somewhere, and prison has been where we put the sick, cancer and AIDS patients self medicating with marijuana... so why not everyone else?

We are where we are because this generation did not stand up for cannabis.

quote

"This is going to pass.. I'm not saying that I'm not going to do my part, .....however, it's a little past time to Phone your Senators. "

I think this captures the moment fairly well.

I guess this is the answer... to Chuck Baldwin's question

about why there are concentration camps being built.

Just another tax. I want to know if they will stop taking out the medicare portion of my paycheck. Doubt it. Just another damned tax so the ilk in DC can keep driving this country into financial oblivion......

YOu had to ask, didn't you. The government is the only entity

For some reason, we're expected to know every law that exists in America & in our state so we don't break it. We're supposed to know this when we're 18. There's no litmus test for them, as in the 10 commandments or rhyme or reason. C.U.R.E.

which makes revenue off of committing crime. You can't pay a speeding ticket to a charity of your choice, or restitution to a victim. When you get a ticket, its basically pay this so you won't have to miss work & we won't have to spend valuable court time w/ your case. Payment is an incentive not to have you show up in court, get rid of this, pay it. All we're interested in is the revenue anyway & if you pay it, it will be a processed case versus if you come to court, it's debatable whether we get the $ or not.

thank you!

DIGG THIS HARD...OR WE ARE ALL SCREWED....

MMJ ... CAN YOU ADD DIGG THIS NOW..TO YOUR THREAD TITLE?

Love ya.

sadly as much as I hate to admit it, they didn't listen to the people about the Bailouts so my thoughts are that I'm sure they'll snuff the people yet again.

This is going to pass.. I'm not saying that I'm not going to do my part however it's a little past time to Phone your Senators. They are just going to go along as planned.

He has an excellent point AND

Not only do those that voted for this bill need to be voted out of office, BUT,we as freedom loving people, absolutely need to find a legitimate way to sue for this unconstitutional act!! I yield to our favorite judge with the hope that he will help us pave the way to overturn this act of indecency!
