Take a few moments to watch this...it's quite powerful and so true!

The number greatly being thrown around is that there are 45 million Americans without health insurance. Let's examine that. Of that 45 million, about half are young adults who have consciously decided they don't want health insurance. About 10-11 million are people here illegally. Another portion is people who are between jobs and will have coverage within the next 30-60 days. Yet another portion are children who were pulled off of their parent's policies to be put on a state sponsored policy. That leaves about 10 million Americans who are uninsured. The flip side is that 290 million are insured (or fall into one of the categories above).

So let me get this straight...the administration wants to turn our health care system upside down for approximately 3% of the population?

There is absolutely no logic at all to doing that. Not to mention the fact that most...if not all...major government run organizations are on the verge of bankruptcy: Fannie and Freddie, the Postal Service, Medicare, Social Security...to name a few. It is obvious that the answer is not more government control. Do you want the government to decide if you can give birth in a hospital or not? Do you want the government to decide if you can get timely treatment for cancer?

Another lie we are supposed to swallow in this debate is that government run health care will not add to a deficit that has already been quadrupled in the last year!

The disregard by the administration, the senators and the congressmen and women of what the American people want is outrageous. That band of liars has definitely forgotten who they serve...they work for US!

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear President Obama,

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally, you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don't understand it at it's core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America' crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it. Big surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had over 500,000 hits.
