Members of Congress (particularly those of the Democrat variety) have a problem. Real people are starting to show up at their “Town Hall” meetings and (gasp!) ask questions! It’s really inconvenient for them. They would prefer the sheep stay home and watch American Idol for the most part and perhaps send them a thank-you note once in a while for the latest “program” or “service” they have voted for. Let’s face it – these folks really aren’t much for an honest exchange of ideas. And the last thing they want is the hoi polloi armed with actual facts about the legislation Nancy tells them to vote for. I mean, they don’t actually read these bills – why should you?!
So this presents us, the informed electorate, with a great opportunity. Congresspeople are on their way back home to hear from you. Let your voice be heard. Here’s a great list of questions for them as well as some pieces of the actual legislation being considered. Take it with you to a town hall meeting, call these folks, write a letter. Better yet – write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Unless you want an elitist bureaucrat (who is on a gold-plated private insurance plan) to decide whether you, your children, your parents and grandparents live or die, the time to stand up and be heard is NOW!
