Speak out on health care, climate bill

It is time for action. They can dress this health care bill up anyway they want to but the truth is still ugly.

When you cut $400 billion dollars out of Medicare how is that not going to affect our elderly?

One national health care system they can fix first is the run-down and outdated hospitals and the medical shortages in our veterans administration.

Show us you can successfully run this national health care system first, before jumping up and down screaming you can fix the health care problems of the whole country, when you can’t even run a health care plan for the men and woman who have served us and the men and women who still fight for our freedom.

When you can do this then maybe we will be ready to listen to your other plans.

And how stupid do they think we are about the cap-and-trade bill? It is going to hurt us all.

We need new voices in Washington. They are trying to make it all sound so wonderful, but really look at the facts and ask yourself is this good for me and my family?

Is this good for my country?

Call them, and tell them you are not voting for them. Not only will you see them squirm but you will get to hear a brand new fairy tale!

Tell them we have been taxed enough. We can’t afford any more.

Both of these bills are full of new taxes for us to bear. We need fair taxation and better representation

Speak out before it’s too late.
