Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann has asked as many of us like-minded  citizens to come to Washington DC to confront our Congressmen about our opposition to HR 3200.  The vote in the House could be tomorrow or Friday.

The Republican wins yesterday  have let the Democrats know that they will be held accountable by the voters.  The Blue Dogs are most susceptible to our input.  I have attached a template of a letter that includes many reasons for opposition.  Please consider it as a model and put whatever you wish to write in your own words.  I have also attached a list of the Fax numbers of the Blue Dogs.  Please do this tomorrow, Thursday, so that for those of us who cannot go to Washington DC, we make our presence felt in these faxes.

A suggested letter and a list of fax numbers is listed below.

Dear Congressman/Senator(Particularly Blue Dogs):

I am writing to share with you my strong belief that the Health Care Reform Bill HR 3200(in the House) or the Baucus Bill(in the Senate) is bad for America.  I think many Americans who are informed on health care issues would agree that some type of reform is needed, eg. cost containment, tort reform, better access to health insurance for the poor, coverage of pre existing conditions, a clearly defined policy regarding taxpayer funded abortion and stem cell research, and no access to free health care for illegal aliens.  Polls indicate that a majority of Americans are satisfied with their current health insurance and care.  They feel that a complete overhaul of the current system is unwarranted; will put private insurers out of business because they cannot compete with the government subsidized insurance – thus eliminating freedom of choice for the public; increase the power of the Federal bureaucracy to control life and death, health decisions of the citizenry, and will cost all of us in the form of increased health care costs and enormous Federal deficits that are unsustainable for our generation and generations to come.  I believe reform is needed to improve our current system, but that the HR 3200 and the Baucus bills are not the right answer.  I beg you to vote “NO” on these bill.  Then, in a bipartisan way, with input from constituents and non-partisan, health care experts, take the time to craft a new bill that is better.  Field test whatever reform you pass in one state and see if it accomplishes its objectives before making it the law of the land.  Based on the results of the field testing, correct what doesn’t work and retain what does work.  Slow down; don’t rush’ and get it right.
