LETTER SENT TO SENATORS REF. HR 3590

Dear Senator,

We are in a vicious cycle; Congress creates a huge, government takeover, boondoggle, Health Care Reform Bill that will cost trillions. The people speak, and the bill is defeated. Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid go back to the drawing board, behind closed doors. In the process, they completely shut out the loyal opposition

They labor mightily and bring forth a new bill which is basically a regurgitation of the bill that was already defeated, only worse. Oh, to be sure, there will be slight changes to convince holdouts to vote “yea” this time; changes that they will reverse in reconciliation. There will also be some bribes, a whole lot of strong arm tactics for the more recalcitrant, as well as some obvious financial accounting tricks to make the bill seem “deficit neutral”. These tricks would be laughable if the bill weren’t so dangerous.

All of the proposed bills will increase the cost of health insurance, and none of them will cover all of the uninsured so why would you vote for them? Any number of free market solutions have been proposed, which will lower the costs of Health care. Free market solutions which do exist, such as direct primary care and Health Savings Accounts, will be wiped out. In addition, we can cover those who cannot afford health insurance without spending trillions.

Given the above, the American people know that the only reasons for all these colossal bills are to move yet more control to the Executive Branch, to take away more of our personal liberties, and to further bankrupt the United States. All of them will necessitate crushing taxes on the middle class, especially the health care bills.

It does not matter what is in the Senate bill, it is merely a Trojan horse for the same old agenda. If passed, it will be combined with the House bill, all objectionable measures will be back, and the Government will have taken over the entire Health Care Industry. If the vote is allowed to proceed, this takeover will be passed with only 51 votes. That would be unforgivable!

We will either actively support, or actively campaign against every elected official, wherever they are, who facilitates the current bill in any way.


Vote against the motion to proceed; vote against cloture. The Nation is watching. Your constituents are watching.
