Healthcare... The time to act is now.

**GimpyLeg** · 11-05-2009, 09:47 AM

Whether you agree or disagree with the healthcare legislation making its way through Congress, the time to act and voice your concerns or approval is now. Whether you believe that congress is on the cusp of trampling more of the Constitution or not, I urge you to contact your Representatives. HouseNet Redirect

I've been on the phone making calls this afternoon. No real congressman but busy signals and messages.

**Chief07** · 11-05-2009, 06:00 PM

I called both of my (so called) Senators in NJ and they are more annoyed than supportive. E-mail, fax, phone calls they don't care what I have to say.
They need to go.
This so called healthcare bill is an assult on our rights and liberty.
2000 pages of trash!
Washington needs an enema!

I fear that these actions committed by a power-hungry, deaf congress will never be reversible. I, like most, have family that needs SS and Medicare, but I wish they would have NEVER been enacted and now they can NEVER be reversed.

People want a lot more out of government than they can pay for. It is easy to blame Obama or congress or someone else but the sad truth is that, as a society, we want more than we are willing to pay for.

Who doesn't want great schools? Clean air and water? Health care for the elderly? Top notch national defense? Safe Skies?

Everyone wants that but who wants to pay for it? cricket chirp.

What I want is for the .gov to abide be the powers given to it in the Constitution. Regretfully, I see more and more folks think that they are "owed" something for nothing. Got to get "their fair share". I was never raised to think I was "owed" something I didn't earn, nor that life was fair.

I agree that I want and expect certain things from the .gov. I want them to listen to the people. I want them to hear the Constitution. All of this has been hashed out time and time again on this forum and many others.

I just believe that if you ever had a thought or opinion about the so-called healthcare crisis, now would be the time to be sure you let your .gov reps know.
