Health Care
By La Shaine Reynolds
August 08, 2009
Saturday
Let me start by introducing myself, my name is La Shaine Reynolds
and what I have e-mailed you is what is in our health care package
that the President is trying to get passed. I am sending this
to every newspaper that I can in the U.S.. I am also sending
this to CNN, Headline News, Fox, and where ever I can send this.
Everyone deserves to know what they are up against. And I am
exercising my freedom of speech.
As you can see the following information is upsetting to say
the least. This is what is in this bill. This is the what the
President and Congress is trying to get passed. As you can see
if this gets passed you will have to turn over any and all bank
accounts so they can draw funds out. Also they are wanting to
have the choice to put anyone to death that they choose to do
so. Imagine if your child, your mom, your dad, your wife, other
family members get sick with cancer, heart disease, or even mental
illness and, according to this health bill, the government decides
that since they aren't going to get well, they just put them
to death. Just look at a small child and imagine the government
putting them to death. They say history has a way of repeating
itself.
So my question to everyone is, are we going to put up with this?
This man who is our President is trying to kill us! As I mentioned
above I am taking one state at a time and sending this to every
newspaper I can and I hope that you will print this. People deserve
to know this information. Don't ignore this because if you do,
you have condemned your self and everyone else to death if the
government and President chose to do so. I chose my home state
first, North Carolina and tomorrow I'm starting in alphabetical
order and I will get this out. It's up to you to let the truth
be told!
But before you start sending me hateful e-mails go to the website
and read it for yourselves. I'm not a mean or hateful person.
I'm just a concerned citizen just like you. The web address is
at the bottom. It make take it awhile due to it being over 1,000
pages. You have the Right To Read The Bill. You are suppose to
have 72 hours to read it. You want me to listen to you please
give me the same consideration and respect. If I was a senator
or part of the government in any way you would listen to me.
There are links to the House
website at the end. It takes a long time to load it's 1018 pages,
but worth the wait! I encourage you to read the bill. You won't
go far before your "no way; this cannot be true" comments
will become audible and those around you will ask, "What
are you reading!" I thought the excerpts were wild. Wait
till you read them in context!
Sincerly,
Mrs. La Shaine Reynolds
