Below I have posted a letter which I faxed out to the Congress members listed, which represent the "Blue Dog Democratic Leadership". I whole heartedly encourage every American Citizen to write your Congressmen
along with others, to voice your concerns, questions and opinions. This is your right guaranteed by our Constitution. Always remembering, that the Constitution limits the powers of our elected officials/government, not its citizens!!
August 29th 2009
Dear Congressmen: Baron Hill [Blue Dog Co-Chair for Policy]
Charlie Melancon [Blue Dog Co-Chair for Comm.]
Heath Shuler [Blue Dog Whip]
Congresswomen: Stephanie Herseth Sandin [ Blue Dog Co-Chair
for Adm.]
First, and most importantly, I desire to express my appreciation for the service you are rendering, not only to the constituency of your Districts, but also to your state and ultimately the citizens of the United States of America. Being that you are serving on a Federal level, your votes will affect all of the American population. I consider your elected positions to be offices of great responsibility which the constituency of your Districts have entrusted to you; trusted positions in which you will stand and represent the best interests, beliefs, rights and will of the hard working, tax paying American Citizens. These selfless actions are without
thought to consequence to your Party, self preservation, vote securing, or special interests.
I am not a constituent from any State which you represent, nor am I a Democrat. However, understanding that the title “Blue Dog” stands for members of Congress who desire to be fiscally responsible, I felt compelled to reach out to you in order to request you vote against this Socialist type Health Care Reform Bill, along with the staggering financial costs to the American Tax Payer for generations to come. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority leader Harry Reid along with many others from your party, have determined to put into play a plan to demonize the grass root movement of everyday American Tax Paying Citizens. They are referred to as "Astroturf", "Nazis", "organized angry mobs", etc. These elected officials are attempting to by-pass the will of the People, in order to install their agenda. The American Citizens voicing their beliefs and desires are not just from one party, but a mixture from all. They have unintentionally joined together in a homogeneous outcry of dissatisfaction and disgust.
Your party's leadership has put forth an attitude of arrogance and contempt toward the American Citizen, which has evidently flowed down and been duplicated through the actions of the majority of your party's elected officials. The Party affiliation, organization, beliefs, lifestyles, conduct, and actions of the constituency attending and voicing their opinions at the Town Hall Meetings is irrelevant. Their calls and letters to their elected officials are being ignored. They are all your constituents, you represent and serve each one, not just a select group. Whether or not you like or agree with the majority, we can not have the minority controlling the majority. However, the Democratic leadership continues to exhibit unconcern for the requests and demands of the American tax paying citizen. Instead, what is being exposed is the insatiable appetite for control of the people and our Government, by imposing more rules and regulations, along with penalties on its people, as if we are ignorant juveniles, and the elected officials our parents.
In my opinion, this administration focuses its emphases on “Big Brother Government", welfare's, entitlements, and a new socialist global order, suppressing traditionalism, patriotism, morality and free enterprise, ushering in a humanistic “Social Realism” which prior and present social reformers have planned for America. We all need to remember that the Constitution of the United States of America limits our governmental officials, not its people. Yes, we are in need of Health Care Reform for these outrageous costs, but not at the expense of evoking a Socialist type agenda. It has not worked to the benefit of the tax paying Citizens of any Country, nor will it work adequately in America. America is blessed with the most talented, ingenious, intelligent, and resourceful people in the world, I am confident that with true effort and sufficient time, we can, in a bipartisan manner, compile a Health Care Reform Bill that is truly beneficial to the American tax payer and in keeping with the true American Traditional standard of life.
Remembering to always seek "Divine Providence" for our guidance in these important matters, not just settling for mans limited wisdom and ideology, we should seek to emulate the beliefs and actions of our fore fathers along with multitudes of mighty men over the millenniums, as the phrase engraved on the wall behind the platform in the Chambers of Congress states, "In God We Trust"……. May God continue to Bless America.
