I was watching television tonight and flipped past the Conservatives for Patient's Rights informercial tonight. I decided to watch it and see what it was all about.
The so called documentary was filled with misleading facts about public health care plans.
Fear tactics were in full effect. For example, one person complained about having to wait a year to see a cardiologist.
I am very concerned about the swift-boat style smearing of our opportunity for real change in the American health care situation.
I think we should call the White House, our Senators and our House Representative and tell them we must keep the choice of a public option alive.
Call Congress
I also feel that we should RESPECTFULLY inform Conservatives for Patients' Rights that we are aware of their tactics and we will counter their campaign of fear and lies to the end.
Contact Conservatives for Patients' Rights
Remaining calm and respectful in response to inhumane and dishonest attacks will only stand to benefit us. We don't have to stand down, but we don't have to stoop to their level.
We must win this!
Update: I forgot to mention this misinfomercial will be airing on NBC this weekend after Meet the Press.
Update 2: Thank you for putting me on the rec list! I have been reading the sight for nearly a year now and this is my second diary.
Update 3: Everyone please go to the link from maggiejean's comment: Petition. Thank you for giving us more ways to act!
