Please go sign this petition for all the reasons I will lay out below.
Senator Richard Burr (Useless R - NC) has him some really nice USofA Government Administered Healthcare. Richard Burr has been talking some serious smack lately regarding the fact that the rank and file average person in the United States of America does not and SHOULD not have access to the same affordable Government Administered Healthcare that HE has. In fact, he says the Government Employees Plan isn't very good! So, no doubt, Richard Burr would be totally all about standing up and saying he will give up HIS Government Healthcare and will work hard to do away with Medicare, that other Government Administered Satan of Healthcare!
Let's help WishyWashy Burr move forward with that thought!

From Richard Burr's Twitter account via Mark Binker at the Greensboro News and Record:
Burr 2 med society: "The fed'l govt is not the one I want in charge of my health care plan or anybody else's." Says fed'l emp plan not great
WOW! The federal employees healthcare plan is not great, according to Mr. Burr. Hmmmmmm. I wonder if Dicky B. is ready to forego that Federal Employees Plan and buy his OWN healthcare insurance?
Senator Useless also spent time spewing the talking points from Insurance Corporations handed out to all Senators who are part of the Insurance Corporation Doner Reciever program.
From the Raleigh News and Observer:
Sen. Richard Burr says he doesn't need 1,000 pages to reform health care.
He told listeners of the Bill Lumaye Show on WPTF, 680-AM, agreed with a caller that the famously-long health care bill is too long and does the wrong things.
"The health care reform does not take 1,000 pages. I could boil it down to one word that makes a huge difference: portability," Burr said. "That gives you the ability to take your coverage with you."
Burr said such a system would ease the adversarial relationship between insurance companies and health care providers.
"We can use one word, we can use five pages, but we don't need a host of mandates on private insurance where states currently do that today," Burr said.
What Captain Unnecessary didn't mention is that there are a couple of other words that would have to be in place prior to portability ever coming into play in the first place. Those words would be:
Do you currently have health insurance?
Because, you see, something you don't already have is something hard to port around with you, Mr. Burr. But then you knew that, didn't you oh useless one? Just more talking points with an Insurance Corporation check attached, right?
Here is what I wrote to Senator Burr at the petition site:
Senator Burr, if you feel so strongly that no one should have any kind of Government Regulated healthcare, I would implore you to denounce the Healthcare Plan that you and your family are currently receiving, courtesy of the USA Government. I would also firmly implore you to quickly put forth a Resolution in the Senate that would dissolve the Medicare Insurance Plan that is currently in place. That is also a US Government administered healthcare program, and per your words and recent deeds, you would be a total hypocrite if you did not go forward with this. Your current words and deeds are completely in line with making sure that all Americans should shoulder the bill for healthcare on their own, and only through Insurance Corporations instead of having a USA Government sponsered Public Option that would actually bring some real competition to the health insurance ponzi scheme. Since we all know that you, Senator Burr, and your Republican Party morals hold high the ideals of businessplace competition.
You need not be from North Carolina to go give the POS a piece of your mind, or just take the time to sign the petition without comment.
Let's keep taking it to the Republican Liars and let's fight tooth and nail to get a Public Option. Tell Useless Burr you want him to give up HIS Government Healthcare!
