I respectfully petition you to OPPOSE AND FILIBUSTER Nancy Pelosi's H.R. 3962 or Harry Reid "public option" Senate version of that bill, hereby referred to as "Obamacare" government takeover of the health care industry.
We will not support you if you vote for H.R. 3962, because:
1.) We believe H.R. 3962 still encourages Euthanasia by giving doctors a monetary incentive to persuade the elderly during "end-of-life counseling" to sign "Do Not Resuscitate" orders to pull the plug, or deny simple air, food or water.
2.) We believe H.R. 3962 fully funds abortions, which 71% of all tax-payers oppose, directly stating on p.110, "ABORTIONS FOR WHICH PUBLIC FUNDING IS ALLOWED," breaking President Obama's promise "no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions."
3.) We believe that increased government control of private Christian and Catholic hospitals will endanger freedom of religious expression by doctors and patients, and result in litigation to censor and remove Christian symbols from chapels and common use areas.
Rather than spend trillions of dollars on bureaucratic red-tape, please refund that money to the tax-payers, and encourage us to keep or purchase our own private health care insurance, choosing our own doctors and options.
Again, we will not support you, and we will not vote for your re-election, if you support H.R. 3962 or any similar government attempt at a socialist takeover of the American health care system, which is already the best free-market health care system in the world, and should simply be left alone, and kept private between patients, doctors, and private insurers.
PLEASE OPPOSE HARRY REID OR NANCY PELOSI'S "HEALTH" CARE PLAN.
