Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.
 
                                                                           -- Ronald Reagan 
A letter to Senator Nelson you can use regarding healthcare.
 
 
Please copy this and mail it to Senator Nelson. It is somewhat like a petition,
but the fact hat you put a stamp print  and mailed it yourself is more potent.
 I encourage you to snowball it to all on your
e-mail lists., even if some  may get it more than once.
When you e-mail it out to that list leave this paragraph in tact.
Dear Senator Nelson
317 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Regarding congressional healthcare legislation - I'm totally fed up!  I'm not asking anymore, and I'm not begging anymore.  You know we can't afford this now, and you know the majority of people are opposed to it.  You and your colleagues have the power now to ignore your constituents and do whatever you want, and it looks like you probably will.  Elected US representatives favoring tyranny over democracy for the first time in American history, shame.  But I'm telling you and all your colleagues that if you vote for this bill, I will not only vote against your reelection, but I will work tirelessly to defeat you, and I will work for and support your opponent financially. 
 
This 2,000 plus page bill and the action and conduct of this congress is an UNPRECEDENTED travesty.  Never in the history of America have we been represented by such a group of self-serving, freedom hating, nitwits and liars.  Only a moron would advocate adding this kind of expense to our broken bankrupt economy now.  Let's see how government will pay for this when our economy crashes.  Wake up!  But then apparently Democrats are not troubled by giving benefits and then taking them away after the people have come to rely on it, as you are doing now with Medicare.  People without means to increase their income at this stage of life are being threatened with runaway fees and reduced benefits,
 
In today's Bradenton Herald I read, "On January 1, 2010, Medicare patients in the state of Florida will face a new reality - increased difficulty in access to cardiovascular care.  The Obama administration 2010 Physician Fee Schedule severely cuts cardiovascular services, some by as much as 50%."  This from the man that claimed he would have more preventive medicine and save Billions and Billions of dollars through early treatment.  In particular outpatient imaging is targeted for big cuts, and this is one of the best tools for early diagnosis of heart disease  Many of the tests will now have to be done at hospitals at higher costs and higher out of pocket expense.  I guess those who can't pay the higher fees will just get worse and die. Thanks Democrats.  I thought you were not cutting Medicare.  And this isn't even the healthcare bill yet.  This is just a warm up.  I'm totally disgusted.  Can you see why?  Vote Democrat  and die before your time.  Like the ad on TV says - WE WON'T FORGET, EVER! 
 
I do not wish to receive a patronizing response telling me how good this is going to be for me.  The American people are not stupid!
                                                                                                                                Respectfully
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                              Sign, don't print - your name

Not even the great science fiction writer Ben Bova could come up with a theme for the greatest scientific hoax in history.  That's because Bova has always been a proponent of man-made global warming and has continually belittled the skeptics.  Too bad, because all the markings for a best selling thriller were there for the taking. 
 
The AGW bubble has burst.  ClimateGate, as it has now been dubbed, is full of deceit, fraud, conspiracies, overstatements, understatements and downright dirty and dishonest politics.  Many have called it a "shameful dark day for science,"  and at least one leading figure in the scandal has stepped down.  Public hearings are scheduled which could lead to others getting a well deserved pink slip. 
 
 All this comes into play as President Obama travels to Copenhagen in an attempt to commit the United States to a climate change treaty costing taxpayers billions of dollars.  While Obama is expected to sign away American sovereignty with his signature,  any treaty must be ratified by the United States Senate.  It is imperative that all Americans, who value their individual freedoms and liberty,  call their Senators and say "NO" to this treaty which is pure political posturing for a one-world socialist government and complete control over our lives. 
 
 What a shame there were no Woodwards and Bernsteins to break this story.  Why?   Because the press was just as guilty in promoting fictitious global warming as the crooked scientists and politicians.
