A Call to Unity Among We the People of the United States

Tweet

I know many of us disagree, some of us most of the times...some of us even disagree in not very friendly ways. However... This situation with HR 3200 (The healthcare bill) has proven something to the world. Most people have given up on our whole process. They say that Washington never listens to us anyway, so why bother. Others have said that Washington only listens to special interest groups, the "rich" or the powerful. Well, Washington wanted this bill rushed through and on Prs. Obama's desk before the August recess. Obama blames the Congressional Republicans for getting in the way, but there aren't enough of those to be so much as a speedbump on the way to the Oval Office. The ONLY reason it isn't passed yet is the pressure We the People put on our elected officials. It wasn't "The rich", "The Powerful" or "Special Interest Groups", it was ordinary people calling their Congressmembers and Senators, asking them why they aren't "reading the bill". We need to keep this up! The issue, bill, politician or the little letter after their name. Whether or not you support or oppose universal healthcare, your Congressmember or Senator, or Political Party. The problem isn't any of those things. The problem is, people in Washington have been allowed to become comfortable because We the People let it happen. Never again! When you want to voice your opinion on something specific.. call them. When they have a "town hall meeting", show up. When they say something on tv, radio, in the news or anywhere else, offer your input directly to them or their offices. Politicians had no idea how to handle the number of people showing up to the recent town hall meetings. They are used to the same trickle of the same people time after time after time. Some of them have hated it, but I know for a fact that many of them loved it. We can show both who is "The highest office in the land". For once, the people have stood up to be heard. Yes, some of them chose to be an embarrassment, but not the vast majority. We are proving that we are not to be ignored or dismissed. So who's with me? Who of us are willing to take our voices from the 1s and 0s of MyLot and put our rhetoric where our mouth is... and where their ears are?
