Citizen Tom

Here is the email I sent Senator Jim Webb today.

Subject:  Senator Reid’s 2074-Page Monstrosity

Dear Senator Webb

I write to ask you once again to vote against proposals that would lead to a government takeover of health care.  In particular, I want you to vote against Senator Reid’s Health Care Bill.  The bill is a 2074-page monstrosity.  We do not need such nonsense.

I would also like to thank you for responding to my previous email.  I appreciate the time you and your staff took to respond.  I also enjoyed reviewing your new website (http://www.webb.senate.gov/).

I listened to your video.  I just had one disappointment with the video.  You want to use the full faith and credit of the US Government to back loans for nuclear power plants.  Please strike such nonsense from your bill.

Is it government’s place to solve all our problems?  Don’t our leaders have enough to do protecting our rights?  Doesn’t increasing the government’s mission, size, and complexity beyond any commonsense always create unanticipated problems?

What do either Senator Reid or your congressional colleagues know about energy production or heath care?  What qualifies you and your colleagues to build a power plant or to choose either my insurance plan or the insurance plan of any other citizen?  When existing government health care programs are going broke, is that not a good clue of congressional overreaching?

When Congress gets into the business of running the economy, its members do not have a prayer of maintaining any objectivity.  Then, instead of regulating our economy so that people do not step on each others rights, Congress just becomes the biggest part of the problem.

You and your congressional colleagues are breaking us.  We cannot afford Congress spending any more of our money on costly white, unconstitutional elephants.

Please check out US National Debt Clock.  Congress cannot keep using the People’s money to buy our votes.  Let me reiterate.  We are going broke.  Please stop spending more money than we have.  Please stop assuming more unfunded liabilities.
