The latest Rasmussen Reports weekly tracking update shows that 41% of voters nationwide favor the bill and 55% are opposed. Those figures are essentially unchanged from a week ago. This the fifth straight week with support for the legislation between 38% and 41%…..read more at Rasmussen Reports.
I don’t often write posts about politics but this one has really gotten my panties into a big wad.
In grade school when we first start studying government, we learned that people are elected by the citizens to represent the people…not their political party or their own self-interest groups.
. So….WTF happened?
I have on theory. Our Congress is paying no mind to the majority who are against the health care reform because they know that most voters will not take any action. They will not speak out. They will not contact their representatives. They will not attend meetings or tea parties. Why? Because, we have become an apathetic nation of whiners. We hear about things going on in Washington (or our state’s capitol ) and we grumble a bit to each other. But, then we do NOTHING because we have more important things to do, right?
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve heard many people saying, “Well, there is nothing that I can do about it!”
THERE IS! One person can do something. I don’t know about y’all but I intend to put my money where my mouth is on this subject. If you choose not to financially support this, then will you at least, please, pass the word on about Harry Reid’s dirty tricks? We can no longer sit back and expect Sen. Rockefeller or Sen. Byrd to represent us. They are both hardline Democrats who would rather vote the way Reid, Pelosi, and other Democratic leaders tell them to vote than truthfully represent the beliefs of the people of West Virginia.
It’s time to speak up, stand up, and make these two representatives listen to us.
I know that it’s a pain in the butt to get a bazillion emails everyday that people want you to forward. And, I, admittedly, delete many of them. But, I am pleading with all of you to take a stand on this issue. We cannot sit back and let innocent babies be killed. We cannot afford to not stand up and take a stand on Cap and Trade issues. We can no longer expect our government to automatically do the right thing…because it will not. We have to come together and make our voices heard!
Please don’t just delete this. If you are tempted, just leave it in your email without forwarding it. Then, think about it. I’ll bet you will end up passing it on. I know each and every person that I sent this to is a good person…..one who cares about their families, their country, and their values.
STAND UP WITH ME AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!
This is what I personally wrote to our senators, Rockefeller and Byrd. You don’t have to use Liberty Action to send emails. You can find your representatives addresses on the internet.
“West Virginia is a state with Christian morals. We do not support abortion . And now it has come to light that there will be provision for abortion in this health care bill. I cannot tell someone what to do with their body or the body of an innocent child. But, I DO NOT want my taxes paying for it. I’ve had enough and am ready to put my money where my mouth is. I planned to fight you all the way on this vote. And, I will rally friends, neighbors, and loved ones to do the same.
SHAME ON YOU,Senator. Rockefeller! When is the last time that you even stepped a foot into our state and asked the people of West Virginia what we thought about health reform…or anything, for that matter. No…you are too busy making sure that you are a straight tow-the -Democratic party-line kinda guy. One good challenger will knock you right out of your overstuffed Senate chair. And, with the grass-roots movements and Tea Party candidates, you might want to rethink who your loyalty should be with….the WV people or your cronies in the Senate (like Pelosi and Reid).
And,especially, SHAME ON YOU, Senator Byrd! You have always loved West Virginia. I have no doubt about that. You have done many wonderful things for the people of our state. I am appealing to you as a fellow West Virginian (who lives very near your small hometown) to please, reconsider this vote. Vote the way the people of West Virginia want you to vote. Not the way the Democratic party wants. Please don’t let us down. Listen to your conscience not the shoutings of Pelosi or Reid.”……TPB (only I used my real name, of course).
The bill passed the Senate and that’s sad. But, what is sadder is that NOBODY that I emailed sent one damn letter to either senator. Oh they had plenty of time to read and send funny emails. But, no time to take a couple of minutes to write their representatives.
Maybe, I should have sent the following pictures……
Credit for that picture goes to FreakingNews, (I give credit when I know who to give credit to,)
Thanks to Darleen Click for this photo. Saved me a lot of time not having to look up pics of the rest of the gang!
How very sad. How disappointed I felt. I emailed people who are intelligent, outspoken, and talk about their political beliefs with much passion. Maybe that’s what it is….just TALK!
I’m really sad….and extremely pissed off.
If you don’t like what your government is doing, STAND UP! Remember…it is (suppose to be ) WE THE PEOPLE!
Bah humbug….I hope they all get a lump of coal in their stockings.
For those of you who feel it necessary to leave comments that are opposed to my point of you….do so at your own risk. I’m in no mood to argue with people who support this bullshit.
