Get it together, Mr. President!
Unless you begin to honor your commitments to the majority that elected you, not to mention the 70+% of Americans that are demanding a "public option" in health care reform, you will lose our support for your administration and leadership - or lack thereof.
Dear Mr. President,
No thanks to you, we heard from our son, Zachary Reynolds, last night. After a year in Iraq - his 2nd tour - and more than eight years in the Army, his plane had landed in New Hampshire, on their way to Fort Dix, NJ. He expects to be back home in Colorado at the end of the month.
Mr. President, my wife and I - and so many others - voted for you to bring our sons and daughters home from that immoral war. So far, too few have returned home to their families. And now more of them are being committed to an un-winnable war in Afghanistan. This expansion, plus your lack of leadership and clarity on health care and the deep need for an expansion of Medicare or a Medicare-like option, are very sad failings of your Presidency to date. The early returns are in: you are failing us all, not just us progressives.
Get it together, Mr. President! This is my third email to you just this week. Unless you begin to honor your commitments to the majority that elected you, not to mention the 70+% of Americans that are demanding a "public option" in health care reform, you will lose our support for your administration and leadership - or lack thereof. I worked tirelessly on your campaign here in Colorado and committed, between me and my wife, pretty much as much money as was permitted by law. So did many many of my progressive friends. Unless these policies are truly yours, you are being ill-served by many of those that you selected to serve you in Washington. Perhaps it is time to clean house, reflect on your own promises, and delivery for the American people.
