You're absolutely right Barbara. When you read something like this,
ask yourself one thing - Why? Why would our government officials pass
such horrible legislation knowing they would be voted out at the very
next election? It doesn't make sense does it. And neither does the
drivel perpetrated by the likes of The Tea Party People. Please,
please educate yourself. But don't do it by way of unsubstantiated
emails or talk radio and tv.

I think people should read this with care. I believe all the info
to be false. These are the people who are disrupting the town halls
all around the country and believe what Rush Limbaugh
says. 'Knocking on the door of our destruction' is a very loaded,
fanatical thing to say. The Tea party people are a bunch of loonies.

Friends, READ THIS!!!! Things are happening faster than you ever
realized. I NEVER thought we would have the government stoop this
low and get so involved in our personal lives! I was wrong... this
bill is knocking on the door of our destruction. We have been told
a ton of lies by our government! We must all contact our
Reps/Senators during the August recess and let them hear from
us. Write them letters (email isn't as effective) Make phone calls!
The Health Care Bill Summary below should scare you.
Giving people time to read the bill is important--rushing this
bill through before anyone knows what is in it is a sure sign that
they DON'T want us to know what they are intending to do to us and
this country. Take some time--read this, and anything other info
you can get on it, and then let your congressman and senator
(Capitol Switchboard, 202 224 3121) know what you think!
I downloaded the entire Health Care Bill, crosschecked it with
the Summary below and found it to be accurate.
Pass this along to everyone you know!
