Send Me A Story

OK, how about Pinocchio?

Because I signed a petition at the White House web site, a futile statement of secession, something central politicos consider heresy, they have assumed that I am interested in following the President's political aspirations.
Truth be told, if there was a properly adult manner that all of his policies could be thwarted, that would be what I would support.  Here is the email I received last week, I had to made a few spelling corrections so if I changed the mean by that, tough......

Hi all --

Today, Republicans in the House of Representatives are going to come together, cast a vote, and try to repeal the Affordable Care Act just as they've done nearly 40 times before.

Don't expect much to come of it.

The health care law was passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. It's been the law of the land for more than three years. It's not going anywhere. We know that, and so do the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But instead of creating jobs and growing the economy, some of them want to make yet another gesture of protest -- even if it's meaningless.

So we're responding with a little gesture of our own, and we need your help.

We're asking people like you to speak out, to let us know if you're one of the 85 percent of Americans who've already benefited from the health care law, and make a public stand in support of Obamacare.

Lend your name now.

Repealing the Affordable Care Act would mean that 6.6 million young adults would lose the option of staying on their parent's health insurance. It would mean that 34.1 million seniors would pay more for preventive care like mammograms and colonoscopies, and 18 million middle-class families lose the opportunity to save money on their monthly premiums starting in 2014. But this isn't about numbers; this is about our families’ lives.

And we're not just asking you to share your stories for the sake of speaking out. We're building a network of people to help make sure that everyone has the information they need as we implement the law. We'll keep you in the loop as we reach important milestones. We'll make sure you have all the key facts so that you can share them in your communities.

If you lend your name, we'll make sure you're part of that network. This is a chance to do more than send a message about your support for the Affordable Care Act. It's an opportunity to be part of making the law a success.

Show your support for the health care law today:

I sent a return response that no doubt will fall on deaf ears.  More than half the country is against this thing.  There is growing evidence that many of the objections dismissed during the debates are coming true.  Costs are already rising at rates greater than before the legislation, preferred political groups are being given exemptions to the system, talk of restrictions on services applied is coming out of the government. The crowning glory, now the IRS as the future enforcer of the legislation has been revealed as morally bankrupt.
I am scared of the economic impact this program will have on all business and how the welfare component of the system will become yet another incomplete promise to help those purported to be most in need.
In the end it is a power grab by the government seeking to control a greater amount of the economy while fostering dependence of citizens on an central government.
