Message for President Obama and the Health Care Plan

Dear Mr. President,

I almost switched parties early in the presidential campaign, but decided not to towards the end. Your eloquent speeches gave me pause to suspect that you were more of a showman than a true leader. Admittedly I didn't vote for you, but I had hopes. I accepted the fact that the country voted you into office and decided to see if I was wrong in not supporting you. In 7 short months you have shown that you are indeed a showman and not a leader.

You are ill-informed by those in congress and those who advise you on what the American people want. My friends and I, I'll refer to them as "lower-Americans" for your benefit as this is clearly what you and the government think of us - beneath your elite panel of so-called intellects who purport information to you as to the attitude of the country - agree that this Health Care bill is nothing more than a show of power that you hope to push through because no other administration before you has been able to do so. We are middle-class Americans who are being referred to as Nazi's and anger-mongers amongst other names from your intellectual cabinet because we do not support this Health Care bill that is 1,018 pages in length that you are trying to shove down our throats without even explaining it to the country. NO ONE HAS YET COME FORWARD TO DISCUSS IN DETAIL WHAT THIS HEALTH CARE PLAN WILL DO! Not even you - at your town hall meetings - you still don't supply substance that someone can take from your eloquent speeches and denigrating references to average Americans.

I especially took interest in the "end of life" counseling section. I am a baby-boomer and consider this aspect of this health care plan to be a "thinning of the heard" approach to health care.

When you and the rest of the entire government carry the same health care benefits that you want all Americans to carry, then MAYBE I'll think about it. But if we don't want it, you won't be able to silence the "sleeping giant" you've awoken. We will not go down without a fight and without our voices being heard. Socialists we will not be.

You can go on blaming the "cable media" for the information we're getting, but trust me, we watch more than just Fox News to come to a clear understanding. We can filter all of the spin out of what is being said on all the other networks - we may not be intellects, but we know where there's smoke, there's always a fire. And your health care bill is going up in the smoke.

Respectfully,
