Thank You Jon

Talk about frustrating.

I have openly supported our President's effort to overhaul and reform our health care system that is firmly in the grips private insurance and answered his call for my help. I support the public option for health care, more out of moral reasons than economics. It's the right thing to do. So, I humbly ask of you Mr President;

STAY ON MESSAGE PLEASE!

Jon, please help me here;

Obama risks losing the support of those that got him here. To side with or give into the mentality that has put us in this health care crisis in the first place deflates the entire purpose of reform. I don't know how much more proof America needs than what we currently have; our health care system is bleeding our economy to death by the private sector. If you really think that this is a government take over then I question your reality. WAKE UP! It appears private insurance has taken over health care.

I certainly don't want the government taking over my life. If they do, I believe it won't be done via health care. It will be done with a gun, I have no doubt. Past history is full of examples that I could give you. Are we truly a Christian nation? I am at a loss to understand why the economics of the situation are more important than the morality of providing decent health care for all of our citizens. For some, defeating Obama is the only goal, the rest of America be damned! They seem to forget that there are other Americans, who do have different ideas who voted for Obama by a huge majority. Know this, they are NOT your mortal enemy. I too, love America, for good or bad.

Obama, I voted for you, supported your efforts to fix our economy and to reform heath care on these ideals because I want real change in this country. Here's your opportunity. When you ask for my help I give it because I believe in what you are doing. If you go back on those ideals, you've lost my support. I feel cheated and like you've put out red meat to feast on for your opponents. Even if they get concessions, they will still not support you. They've done it before and they will again. From where I sit, they are the cause of America's troubles by being more concerned about wars than wounds. When they hate, they hate worse than anyone.

Realize that not everyone will be pleased. I do understand the fear of not doing so for some of us Americans, like say Timothy McVeigh, or the complete asshole nutcase who showed up to a recent town hall in Arizona with an ASSAULT RIFLE over his shoulder complaining about his rights being taken away. But we have to meet them head on and show them that we mean business. This is a prime example of Obama's opponents; Instead of debate, they reach for their guns. What about the rest of the citizens who are there to exercise their rights to peaceably assemble without some jackass carrying around an assault rifle? It kinda infringes on others, who are actually exercising their First Amendment rights. WHY in the name of GOD do you need to do something like that? If you refuse to join the debate then go shoot your penis extension somewhere else before you or someone else gets hurt. It does nothing to further debate to hear your whining about perceived wrongs when reality offers something different. Oh the plight of the poor white man.

Now, what's to fear here? Open meetings? Everyone's invited to put in their two cents worth, even from those who don't have any sense? Do we fear public health care? Do we fear a public display of automatic weaponry? No one is going to kill the elderly under health care reform. How about this guy?

Okay sorry I've diverted from my original thought. This issue really bothers me if you couldn't tell. I am a loyal follower on this because I believe it's the right thing to do. But Dammit! I have to have a strong leader who's confident in what he's told me. If I can't get that then we lose, and this country just cannot afford to anymore.
