Ok, I stretched the truth. This may not be the most important poll you need to read, but since you're here...
As I watch the astroturf protesters out in force upset that others want to change their healthcare. That there are evil people, like you and me, who want to see our ranking in healthcare improve from being ranked 37th in the world by the World Health Organization. Who want to see a change from having the most expensive cost per person compared to all other industrialized nations in the world. As I see people like Kenny the teabagger on video knocking down a SEIU member, getting back up, talking to the camera, waiving to the cops and then the next day stating that he was brutally beaten by 2 to 15 SEIU members and has to ask for handouts because he lost his health insurance 4 months ago when he was laid off his job. (Yes, he lost his healthcare because he lost his job, but he is protesting healthcare change that would guarantee him healthcare even if he lost his job)
More below the fold:
I ask myself do My Senator's, Kennedy and Kerry or My Representative, Stephen Lynch or any other Senator or Representative believe that these people actually represent not only the majority of the US citizens that voted for them and for the current President of the United States?
These people, call them teabaggers, birthers, deathers, or just plain insane, are the same one's who were calling President Obama a traitor and a terrorist. These are the same people who did not vote for any democratic Representative or Senator or President in any past election and will not vote for them in the next election.
Do the elected officials of my party understand that these protesters (fully sponsored by the Insurance companies) are not attracting any independent voters to their cause?
I ask myself do my elected officials think that their base, the base that actually will vote for them in the next election, will actually come out and vote for them if they water down the public option so much that it would be worse than what we have now or have no public option at all?
And I finally ask myself what do our Representative and Senators want more?
Cash donations from Insurance companies and big Pharma ( I understand that it is a lot of "bribe" money) or our vote.
IMO- There money makes it easier for them to run but our votes win them the elections.
I called my Senator and Representative and asked them these questions.
I wonder what their reply will be.
I am also asking who ever reads this to call (though it is no leap of logic that many of you have all ready called) and keep calling.
Your health and your financial well being depends on it.
Not to mention the health and financial well being of the protesters who are one catastrophic sickness or accident away from bankruptcy.
