If this request offends, I’m sorry. Please delete it and understand that I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
This weekend, it appears that the United States House of Representatives is poised to pass broad legislation that will guarantee that nearly everyone in the United States be covered by health insurance. This is a boon to the health insurers, to be sure, but more than this, it is the centrist legislation that, through mainly private, market-based means, guarantees every United States citizen fair access to the health care that they need.
EVERY VOTE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COUNTS, and EVERY VOICE THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES HEAR TODAY IMPLORING THEM TO VOTE YES for this measure is a VOICE that will COUNT to bring this change.
EVEN THOUGH my representative, the honorable representative Illeana Ros-Lehtinen, has stipulated that she will NOT vote for this, I am calling her as soon as I send this e-mail, and will IMPLORE her, as a taxpayer of this great nation, that I believe that this investment in our nation cannot be passed up any longer.
Without the competitive advantage brought about by guaranteeing EVERYONE coverage and access to the highest quality health care that we, as a country, know we can provide, we will continue to slip into economic decline. Every other industrialized nation on the face of this planet has recognized what we, somehow, have failed to see: a healthy, active, and robust populace is the ONLY thing standing between us and returning to the stature of once again becoming the strongest economic powerhouse.
I beg you to PLEASE CALL your representative today. Remember: even if they say they are voting “no,” your voice will have been heard. It’s not a wasted call.
Go now! Call. Be politically active this one time like your life depends on it. Some day, it may.
