Subject:\u00a0 <\/span>Open Letter to Sen. Murray on Health Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sen. Murray,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am aware you will be one of sixty Senators voting for the passage of the Senate Health Care bill.\u00a0 <\/span>You have made your position perfectly clear to all of us here in Washington State that you personally support the bill.\u00a0 <\/span>I recognize the need for health care reform to lower costs, but that is not what I\u2019m seeing in this legislation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, this bill according to all national polls is opposed by the majority of Americans as we understand it today. Second, this bill reportedly contains numerous brokered, sweetheart deals for states such as Nebraska, Florida and Louisiana which in my opinion is nothing less than a bribe, extortion, and the most blatant form of corruption I\u2019ve seen in our Senate in my lifetime and is most likely unconstitutional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the rush to pass a bill by Christmas that will not go into effect until at least 2013 if the upcoming conference version is passed by both houses? I\u2019ll answer for you \u2013 pure politics so that President Obama<\/span> can go before the American people in his upcoming State of the Union address and say he and his party gave us health care reform, period. That claim alone is apparently more important than bringing us rational health care reform.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American people are not stupid.\u00a0 <\/span>They are starting to see the corruption and costs behind this bill and I\u2019m certain additional alarming details will be revealed in time.\u00a0 <\/span>An administration that has promised to be transparent has been anything but.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people will be heard in 2010.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Merry Christmas,<\/strong><\/p>\n
