I urge everyone to call your congressional representative and tell them what you think about the new health care bill that is to be voted on soon. If you are against this plan (as I am and not because it’s Obama’s plan but because it’s just beyond bad), remind the people in Washington who they work for! They work for you, or at least they are supposed to, and I think they need their memories jogged. I have already contacted my reps, but I can’t do this on my own, nor do I think that I am, however EVERYONE who has second thoughts needs to let the folks voting on this thing that we need to explore other avenues to improve health care. There are other ideas out there and good ones at that.
Complacency and misguided trust that the people in power would take care of us is what has gotten us in this mess in the first place. Like the Progressive Insurance Co commercial says “Power to the People!”, not the overgrown government.
Side Note:
If you are for the bill, don’t get in an uproar because I hold an opposing view…it’s called tolerance, folks. Let’s try to practice what we preach, hmm?
And what about the people who support the bill? Would you encourage them to come out in full force and contact their representatives as well? I mean, Washington works for them too, right?
If you support it, you can feel absolutely free to tell them so. That’s the beauty of this county each person can state their opinion, and make their voice heard. I am encouraging people to get involved.
