Coming Climax?

As you may already know by now, the Senate has passed both the House version and the Senate version of medical care reform. Such legislation requires no additional comment given the archives of this blog. However, unless I am mistaken, there is still time to defeat this bill. I am not well versed as to the technical details of how the various political offices operate, but from what I have heard the House version and the Senate version must be reconciled and voted on one more time in the Senate before it can go for Presidential signature, so that means the legislation has not really "passed" the Senate yet.

As always, consider writing to you senators: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

We are running out of time, but there is still a sliver of hope. Rest in the battle now and you could find decades of fighting to be added, or perhaps even an institution that will exist the rest of your life.

Here is what I sent to my senators:

Dear Ms. Stabenow,

Upon reading the list of the few Democrats that have voted against the presently entertained medical care reform legislation I felt betrayed when I did not see your name on that list, meaning you voted in favor of the bill.

To every single one of my messages you have been sending me a mere copy-and-pasted response, leaving unacknowledged my arguments about how this bill is impractical AND immoral. It is impractical because legislation of this type has never and can never succeed in securing general individual physical health and it is immoral because it violates my right to voluntarily contract with others I choose on the terms that I agree to. Practicality and morality lie in freeing man from men, not enslaving men to men.

I will say this one last time: if you do not vote against the medical care reform legislation then I will vote against you in the coming election. I have been following this issue for months and will not forget whether or not my senators were loyal to me. The public may tend to have a selective memory, but I assure you I exert effort to be otherwise.

Regards,

Dear Mr. Levin,

Upon reading the list of the few Democrats that have voted against the presently entertained medical care reform legislation I felt betrayed when I did not see your name on that list, meaning you voted in favor of the bill.

The majority of my e-mails to you have not been given the responses I have requested, leaving unacknowledged my arguments about how this bill is impractical AND immoral. It is impractical because legislation of this type has never and can never succeed in securing general individual physical health and it is immoral because it violates my right to voluntarily contract with others I choose on the terms that I agree to. Practicality and morality lie in freeing man from men, not enslaving men to men.
