Letters To The Editor

An historic accomplishment

POSTED: November 21, 2009

To the editor:

On Saturday, Nov. 7, a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives made history by passing H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act.

After nearly a century of false starts, this was the first time a chamber of Congress has ever passed comprehensive health insurance reform. This is a historic accomplishment.

Representatives who voted for this bill deserve thanks for resisting tremendous pressure from the insurance industry lobbyists and standing up for their constituents.

Those who did not vote for the bill have one last opportunity to reconsider and support reform in the upcoming final House vote - and they should do so.

As a Florida voter and a patriot I am urging Rep. Mack to step up for the citizens and tax payers of Florida. Quit bowing to the "good ol boy" network and insurance lobbyists. Do something for you country and not your pocket.

F* you, Mr. Piper. This is astroturf; copypasta from some organized leftwing paid PR firm spammed all over the country.

Don't believe me? Search for the fourth paragraph in Google and count the number of times this letter appears attributed to different authors who live in different cities.

The vapidity of the left astounds.
