Angry Protesters Confront Democratic Lawmakers at Health Care Town Halls<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/span>– FoxNews<\/em> – 5 Aug 09

Newsletter comment<\/span>: This is not a subject we usually address, but I feel the White House is missing the boat if they attack the American people regarding their concerns and anxiety regarding the proposed healthcare bills. Certainly we deserve to see the finalized bills before<\/span> they are voted upon by the House and Senate, and allow a period of time for the American people to voice their opinions to their elected representatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certainly we need healthcare reform<\/em>, but I’m very concerned that another mega bill will be jammed down our throats without careful consideration by the House and Senate and with little time for We the people<\/em> to consider the ramifications of these bills and how they will impact our present insurance coverage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“…There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can\u2019t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we\u2019re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov…”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

‘Un-American’ attacks can’t derail health care debate<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> By Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer – USAToday – <\/em>10 Aug 09<\/strong><\/p>\n

Newsletter comment<\/span>:\u00a0 Speaker Pelosi continues her attacks on Americans who are opposed to the proposed\u00a0plans, despite the fact nobody really knows what will be in the final bill(s).
\nI believe that open and civil<\/span> debate is good, and that we should be respectful of all who have questions\/positions at these public meetings.\u00a0 I believe Speaker Pelosi’s ongoing comments will only incite more civil unrest. Hardly worthy comments from the Speaker of the House! – Roger Young<\/em> – co-editor
