Listen Up Sutton.
From Mike:
This is a message I sent to Betty Sutton on Friday, March 19, 2010, as the country was watching to see what the Dems were going to do next to jam the ObamaCare bill down the throats of Americans. I was still holding out hope that Nancy Pelosi did not have enough votes to pass the bill, and I was actually hoping that our own Betty Sutton would come to her senses. As we know, she did vote in favor of the bill, and so she should be fired in November 2010:
I understand that you recently announced that you intend to vote “yes” for this health care bill. I believe it is just the first step towards socialized medicine, and many Americans (including me) are totally against it. In case I am not perfectly clear, WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, many Americans (including me) know that it just does not make sense to damage or destroy what 80-90% or so of the people are satisfied with to cover the roughly 10-20% or so that need coverage (excluding illegal aliens). The President clearly promised on many occasions, “If you like what you have, you can keep it.” We, however, know that this will prove to be untrue, especially given the very discriminatory “Cadillac plan tax”, which will most definitely serve to reduce health benefits for many Americans, especially non-union Americans like me.
Second, many Americans including me are totally appalled at the way the Democrats are trying to get this healthcare bill done. Are you folks kidding? Do you really think the American people will look the other way on this “deemed passed” gimmick? Such a large bill that would dramatically affect the lives of all Americans deserves a straight up or down vote. The Democrats have shown a willingness to do whatever it takes to get this bill passed, and in the process have shown no regard for the will of the people or the Constitution. I love my God, my family, my country, and the Constitution. The Socialist Party (formerly known as the Democrat Party), is treating our Constitution as a doormat. This is despicable to me and any other American that loves this great country and that understands the importance of protecting and abiding by the Constitution.
The President clearly promised on many occasions that he would usher in a “new era of transparency”, and he even promised to televise the debates with special interests on CSPAN. With the many backroom deals cut to buy support and/or votes in this process, including a ride on Air Force one where little boy Dennis Kucinich got to ride on Barack Obama’s lap as they flew over Ohio, this process has been anything but transparent. What an absolute travesty. Our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they knew this type of thing was happening in our great country.
I strongly recommend that you vote “no” to socialized medicine and help to kill the healthcare bill so we can start over with a bipartisan solution in which both parties can provide input and which can actually work to meet the objectives of making quality healthcare available and affordable for all Americans.
If you continue to follow Barack Obama’s left-wing socialist agenda and continue to ignore the will of your constituents and the American people, I will do everything in my power to see that your opponent candidate wins the election this fall in November 2010. I am not sure where your challenger will arise from, whether a true conservative from the Tea Party movement or a Republican, but I do know that the representative from the Socialist Party (I believe that would be you) will not stand a chance. Unless I read over the next few days that you have come to your senses and changed your vote to “no”, I will wish you well in your early retirement.
