The American People

An atmosphere of discontent is spreading across the country. Average Americans are not pleased by what has been happening recently in. Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Washington needs to remember that. It is the people’s government not the politician’s government; they are the employees.

Washington is a very isolated community. It thinks everyone thinks the way they do – after all, everyone they know agrees with them. They forget that a vast land exists outside the beltway. This land is populated by real people who have to deal with the real world. These people are not as stupid as Washington seems to believe. Washington wants to do what Washington wants to do – no matter what. In its arrogance Washington feels it knows best. The wishes, will, and opinions of the average American are being ignored.

Here in the real world we honor the Constitution. When we see it being perverted, twisted, and ignored, as has been done, we abhor those actions. It is a document that has led us wisely. You have sworn to defend it. When Congress writes a bill, they are suppose to consider if that bill is within the limit of powers granted to Congress in the Constitution. This is no longer done. Now Congress doesn’t even write the bills much less read them. We, the people, deserve better representation than that.

Wise elected officials would listen to and consider the opinions of their constituents. Respect our opinions. Do not belittle them. Those who ignore the American people may not long be in Washington.

The Voice of America

In town halls and in other forums the American people are voicing their opposition to the current health care proposals. Rahm Emanuel, the White House Chief of Staff, says that this is just noise - that it doesn't matter. He is saying that the opinions of Americans are not important. This is foolish in the extreme. Congress and the President serve at our pleasure. They are responsible to us, the American people. We do not want a government take over of our health care system.

The federal government has become more and more intrusive. It is far exceeding the authorities granted to it in the Constitution. You might consider reading or rereading this document. It is beautiful in its clarity and simplicity. You might also consider reading the health care bills. They are not clear and concise. They are deliberately written obtusely. This is done to discourage reading them.

We all want health care reform, but not this reform. We want the cost of health care lowered by enacting tort reform and addressing the rampant fraud in the system. Pre-existing conditions should not exclude anyone from health care insurance. We want health care to be made available to those who want it - within the private sector.

We ask you to listen to the voice of the American people. Some politicians, in their grandiosity, say if people just understood the bills they would support them. The American people are more intelligent than these politicians think. We do not want the government to control our health care. We are watching and we will remember and vote accordingly.

The People's Right To Speak

Why have the American people become the target of Washington's attacks?

The White House has set up a web site to report "fishy" correspondence that challenges their health care proposals. The White House needs an enemies list? Is this Germany in the 1930's? Report your mothers, your fathers, your neighbors. Dissension will not be tolerated. Forget that pesky First Amendment.

Nor does Congress want to face a "mob" of little old, blue haired ladies or women with children or men who have served their country. These people are dangerous. They are well dressed. Their attendance at town hall meetings is manufactured. It is not real.

If our elected officials can't recognize real, every day Americans, they have been in Washington too long. These people are upset because their elected officials have ignored them. Our representatives are trying to force a government take over of our health care system down our throats. Washington tells us this is a good plan. Anyone would be happy to have such a health care plan - except them, of course. They are so special.

We do not like this plan. We do not want this plan. I have written and explained, in detail, what is wrong with this plan and why it is wrong. I have written and explained, in detail, what health care reform is needed and why it is needed. Now I am just saying what the majority of this country is saying.

We do not want any of these plans. Washington is selling snake oil and the American people are not buying.
