I would first offer sincere appreciation for your efforts and other Republican members of the Senate who have joined in "filibuster" tactics for curbing the bully majority efforts to push unconstitutional bills through and reaching final stage to be signed into law. These efforts have not gone unnoticed, and have served to give Americans hope that our nation is not totally relegated to control of radical socialists and tyrants. Please keep up the good fight. We are willing to bend and operate by faith over experience for a while, but we are not fools. We wish for peaceful return to organic constitutional principles and republican form of governance by elected representatives at the federal levels.

I'm writing to urge you in the strongest terms to please reject ANY attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans. NO reform would be better than bad reform as currently under consideration. We reject this bill in its entirety.

Please KILL THE BILL!

The plans currently being pushed by the current administration and Democratic leadership would create a government takeover of healthcare, with a price tag of $2.5 trillion over 10 years, giant slashes to the already under-funded Medicare, expansion of Medicaid, huge tax increases that would cost an estimated five million American jobs, stifle medical innovation and individual mandates to purchase government-approved insurance plans --just to name a few. Polls show that the majority of Americans are OPPOSED to ANY such attempts at imposing government-controlled healthcare.

Just say NO!

Adding insult to injury, the press is reporting that Democratic leaders plan to push their agenda by using the so-called reconciliation process, a seldom-used procedure that only requires a simple majority of votes for Senate passage --which would be unprecedented for social legislation of this cost and scope.

This whole thing is OUTRAGEOUS, and YOU must stop it. Please, do the RIGHT thing -- reject ANY attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans, no matter WHAT form it may take.

Please note:  As elected officials, we expect you to uphold your solemn duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, as so elected and sworn.  We will not allow lawmakers and this Administration to reshape these beloved United States into a European, socialist state, violating the sovereign rights of its citizens.

Your immediate attention is hereby requested to ensure that rights and freedoms of your constituency...the lawful, sovereign citizens...are maintained and respected first, before garnered votes and plights of illegal citizens.

Thank you for your cooperation.
