My Health Care Letter to Webb and Warner

Senator Webb/Warner,

Are you a statesman? Or are you just another run-of-the-mill politician? I preface my letter to you this way because we all are about to find out (you included).

This coming week you will be pressured with heavy, Chicago-style politics. President Obama MUST HAVE his health care reform at any cost. And he needs it not for us, the people. He needs it for himself, for his legacy, for his name in history, and for the continued consolidation of his power.

Our founders designed our system of government with three branches. They did so in order to provide checks and balances against a runaway branch. Well, if you haven't noticed, the executive branch is running away with all kinds of power.

Bypassing most of his Senate approved cabinet (Treasury excluded), he has installed 32 Czars (so far). With the help of Treasury and a multitude of incestuous personal connections to the Federal Reserve and Wall Street, he is rapidly squeezing out smaller banks and small businesses and feeding the Wall Street giants like Goldman Sachs and General Electric (now in bed with the government). Read Matt Tiabbi's "Great American Bubble Machine.

Yes, I am aware that the bailout train began rolling down the tracks with Henry Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs). The hands of George W. Bush (I voted for him twice) bear the stains of this travesty.

This is no longer about party politics. It is about the American people against a runaway Federal Government.

This week, if you are at all leaning towards rejecting Obama's Health Care plan, you will no doubt see a lot of green being waved in your face. You will be greatly tempted to go along and play the game. Our president wants this legislation passed quickly (just like the stimulus and the Cap & Trade in the House) because he does not want the American people to find out what's really in it.

If you read page 16 you will see that our president is lying to us. He says that we can keep our private coverage. What he isn't telling us is that if we want to change insurance companies, or if we take a new job with a different health insurance carrier, they can't enroll any new customers. PAGE 16. READ IT.

Will you be our champion, defending us from a government that is looking more and more like George Orwell's "Big Brother?" Or will you be just another run-of-the-mill, "buyable" politician?

Respectfully,

Mark W. Weaver
