This morning, I turned on my computer and the first thing I saw was this.
It was too much. I just sent this to Speaker Pelosi. I guess I just put myself on the White House enemies list.
Speaker Pelosi...I would like to express my utter dismay at your characterization of the grassroots uprising against the government's proposed takeover of *yet another* segment of our economy: health care. I think your suggestion that ordinary American citizens are paid by lobbyists, and most especially your "swastika" slander, are beneath your influential office. You should be thoroughly ashamed of your attempts to slander and silence people who are trying to get their representatives to *listen*!!! I personally know many, many people who have attended town hall meetings and protests. They are not paid astroturfers! What a lie! They are ordinary people exercising their rights as United States citizens to peaceably assemble and have *every right* to have access to their *elected* representatives. Please, remember, and remind the members of Congress, who you work for and represent. You do not represent the interests of the U.S. Government. You work for US! Honest people can honestly disagree over policy and engage in healthy debate. But it's *dishonest* to try to smear and silence your political opposition, and thus shut down debate. Why isn't Congress getting the message? Most hard working, taxpaying, VOTING Americans do not want more government, more regulation, more bureaucracy, more flagrant waste (think: politicians ordering gulfstream jets while lecturing us on health care costs), or more taxes. If you really care about cutting costs, stop running up huge deficits. Cut government spending. Balance the budget. Get your house in order before coming to the American people and plundering ours! What is so "extremist" about that? Have you ever stopped to consider that your opposition to people's right to be free from government intrusion and taxation quite possibly makes *you* an "extremist?" I am completely appalled at the way Congress is responding to our uprising against their actions. Why aren't you getting the message? Haven't you noticed your approval numbers lately? Please be aware: There is going to be a reckoning in the upcoming elections. It is so frustrating when people who are supposed to be public servants behave contemptuously to the very public they represent! As if you don't have to answer to us; as if you can do whatever you like with your power, and ram down our throats any legislation you see fit to hurry through (without even glancing at it!). You are quite mistaken in your characterization of this movement, Speaker Pelosi. We are regular people sick and tired of the political malpractice being foisted upon us, to our detriment (and to the detriment of our children, and their children). If you want to know who we are, read this: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/06/who-we-are/ And if you honestly believe that is extremist, then perhaps it is time to look in the mirror. With all due respect, Susannah Cox
Great! I hope she gets it but it seems they cocoon themselves pretty well from receiving anything they don't want to hear. Hope Obama doesn't send out his brown-shirts to arrest you.
