Today I contacted the following Senators and urged them to vote against cloture to open debate on Obamacare (Bayh, Bennett, Dorgan, Landrieu, Lincoln, Ben Nelson and Specter). Will you join me?
Here is what I sent, trying to be respectful but also letting them know the consequences of their actions.
"Senator <XXXXXXXX>,
I would like to take a moment of your time and ask you to not vote for cloture to open debate on the healthcare reform bills before the Senate. It is vitally important to the continued success and innovation found in the American medical system that the federal government do not get any more involved than it already is. Private companies cannot compete with the federal government. Our economic system is a private, free-market system and needs to remain that way.
Each Representative and Senator that votes to pursue this will be on referendum come November 2010. I can assure you that myself and millions of other Americans will work hard for the defeat of any Senator that votes for cloture to open debate on these bills, unless there is no inkling of a government intrusion into the American healthcare system.
Healthcare costs can be addressed through free-market solutions (including tort reform and interstate competition, among others). I hope that you will spearhead a redress of this process, start from the beginning and include both sides of the debate for a real bipartisan solution.
Thank you for your time."
