(Email to supporters).......Earlier this week, Speaker Pelosi accused honest citizens expressing their views on health care of being “un-American.” And why? Because they disagree with her on the need for a new government insurance program.
Our Founding Fathers would be very surprised by Speaker Pelosi’s attempt to clamp down on dissent. This nation was founded by patriots who staged the ultimate protest in declaring their independence from a distant and out-of-touch government. The rights to peacefully assemble and petition our elected officials are guaranteed by the Constitution. What Nancy Pelosi doesn’t understand is that our differences and disagreements don’t make us weaker; they make us stronger.
This is a critical time for our nation, and a lot of the issues we’re debating now will affect generations to come. All of us have a duty to press on … a duty to state our case without fear of government reprisal.
I encourage you to make your feelings on the health care bill known by calling the White House at (202) 456-1111 and your congressional representatives at (202) 224-3121. Let them know that dissenting is the most “American” thing one can do and that you have very real concerns about the cost and scope of this legislation.
