Hello one and all out there in TV, internet and 'never-never' land. Recently, I was perusing the news headlines online with regard to the 'aftermath' or 'after effects' from the recently passed Health Care Bill just signed into law today. I watched a short news video about this...at the tail-end of it, a protester was holding up a sign that read: 'The Three Stooges' with photos of Senate Majority Leader, Senator Reid (D-NV), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Barack Obama. The protester went on to state; "They are killing this country!"
Dear Sir, I beg to differ. If there is anyone or anything that's killing this country...might it be the Congress? The Democrats? How bout the Republicans? (The party of "no") How bout all the illegal immigrants who don't and can't vote or complain when they don't get health care (being here illegally mind you)? Or, try this thought out; how bout all those who either didn't bother to vote, said that their vote doesn't count OR just didn't bother to go to the polls because they're tired, or were confused or misguided? Sir, regardless of what you might think of these public servants or how much you agree or disagree about their politics or philosophy. Does it not say something about them that at least they're doing something? Knowing that this very issue might cost them an election which in turn will be not only good for the country, yet after six decades get health care? Think about that won't you? Its obvious that you don't think of anything else. I think you complain just to either hear yourself complain or are attempting to get the attention which you sorely are lacking.
For all of you who might think this posting is abit personal...it is. I am a disabled veteran who can only get seen for service-connected injuries and illnesses. However, I do get seen for those who are not 'service-connected.' But, everytime that I do, I am asked if I have any additional health insurance. I don't and can't afford one at this present time. "I am for this bill. I believe the reconciliation bill now in the Senate will relieve or delete all those 'special' projects, 'earmarks,' 'pet projects' or 'vote enhancements' to getting a Senator's vote in favor of this bill. This health care bill will help those who not only can't help themselves, but assist those who can't afford health insurance, help those from making such catastrophic decisions of either food, medicine or a much-needed surgery. despite what we've heard, the political pundits have said or all those misleading or misguided ads by either the Republican Party, 'special interest' groups and or those groups whose sole purpose is to either defeat or get the bill passed...I say; "Back off and let democracy work for itself! The People will decide whats right and wrong. The People will be the deciding factors who will notify their elected officials and if the People are displeased...they will enact a special inalienable right of term limitation...their vote on election day. So I say to you Sir and all those aforementioned...stop will the misleading, misguided propaganda! You're wasting everyone's time and losing our interest."
Everyone who shall read this, everyone who might agree or disagree, everyone who might have another take on this subject matter...your voice is important, your vote is important. In the meantime, allow our officials to either be wrong, right or indifferent. Lets not make a mockery of the process, procedures and or insult the science and institutions of our government with remarks less stellar and professional of that vermin might capitulate.
