We the People Health Care Summit – UPDATED

Is congress hoping you are too tired to fight to protect your health care from a government takeover?

Update:  Video of Citizens commenting at the Health Care Summit

Special thanks to Michelle Moore from “A Traditional Life Lived.”  She has been providing exceptional coverage to events by live-streaming video.  The video from the event will be up for a while, check it out if you missed it.  Lots of excellent points made by the people.

The Health Care bills before congress are wildly unpopular with the American people.  We simply do not believe that the Federal government can deliver on their promise to cover more people and spend less money.  Elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts should have told them all they need to know about the popularity of big government solutions.

Now congress is preparing to simply ram it through.  Russ Carnahan voted for the bill the first time, promoted it with a taxpayer-funded mailer sent to the folks in his district and lamely defended his choice.  Members of his party representing state districts within the larger district overwhelmingly voted to ask the congressional delegation to oppose the health care takeover.  We had a packed house show up and in unison demand that Congressman Carnahan stand against this legislation.

Did he get the hint?

I’m holding a We the People Health Care Summit Wednesday March 3rd at Two Hearts Banquet center. There are plenty of relatively simple solutions that can be tried to reform the flaws in our system without wrecking what is the best health care system in the world. Join me in a discussion about what you want to see change.

Finally, if Russ won’t come to us, we’ll take you to him.  We’ll have people on hand to video tape your thoughts to your elected representatives.  If you’ve a mind to, say your piece and we’ll get it on a DVD and see to it that the disk is delivered to Russ Carnahan’s office

All are welcome, this is your forum to speak your mind.
