Healthcare In Virginia

"Senators Warner, Webb, and Congressman Cantor Reject 6,000 Petition Signatures"

That's right.
They just don't care about what the people that they work for want

I read this press release today....

Richmond, VA -
Six thousand Richmond area residents have signed a petition protesting nationalized health care, but Warner, Webb and Cantor refuse to personally meet to acknowledge the petition despite multiple requests.

"I don't understand how an elected official can ignore that level of opposition," said Mechanicsville resident, Kevin Dumville. "When these petitions are laid down end-to-end, they stretch longer than a football field."




"The petition signatures represent genuine concern of taxpayers about government take-over of our health care system," said Sara James of Midlothian. "The signatures were gathered through face-to-face meet-ups at festivals, neighborhood walks and in our workplaces. We expect our elected representatives to at least feign interest in the will of the people, but when we requested meetings to personally deliver the petitions, we were rebuffed at every turn. These politicians have repeatedly demonstrated no interest in the opinions of thousands of voters in their districts. Warner, Webb and Cantor should be ashamed of themselves!"

Corky Mann of Henrico, a relative newcomer to the political process, expressed dismay about the lack of response by his representatives. "These politicians seem to forget that we hired them, and we expect them to be responsive and considerate of our opinions, not to mention the fact we expect, at a minimum, a reverence for the Constitution, which these health care bills clearly ignore."

The petition states: "We the People of Virginia demand that the Federal Government remain within its Constitutional boundaries on health care. We reject any of the following: Government-run health insurance; One-size government-dictated package of health benefits; New job-killing mandates on employers; Federal medical mandates that violate State Sovereignty; Requirement on individuals to buy medical insurance coverage; Federal institution that controls private health insurance; Government intrusion into our medical privacy; Taxpayer dollars for euthanasia, or life ending services; Medical coverage for illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense."

The Richmond Tea Party is a grassroots organization giving voice to the Silent Majority. Its mission is to work to reign in a government that has grown too big, spends too much and no longer listens to the will of the people.

So how are your elected officials doing ?

Cap & Trade Disgrace

Cap & trade.
Another power grab by the Obama group, and another plan to send more people into unemployment and line the pockets of the Obama supporters.

Democrat Senator Byron Dorgan



Democrat Senator John Dingel



Democrat and President B.H. Obama



Lets see now.
Cap & trade just a big tax.
Cap & trade will raise our utility bills.
Obama says our electric bills would skyrocket.
We do not even know for sure if global warming is even real.
This is just another way to shake he American public down for more money.
Here is a simple explanation of what all this Cap & Trade is



A fellow blogger that I visit, The Obamanation of America recently ran this post....

Sign The Cap And Trade Petition
Senator Jim Webb and Senator Mark Warner,We the people of the State of Virginia and the United States of America are opposed to the implementation of Cap and Trade. We believe that if passed, this bill will raise our energy costs by as much as $3000 dollars. We as citizens believe that this bill has nothing in it to preserve/help the environment and instead uses false science to advance big government. We are not fooled by this secret tax upon us and wish for it to be struck down immediately. Please vote NO on the Cap and Trade Senate Bill and support the people who vastly oppose this bill.Here is the link to sign it: http://www.aktnow.com/petition/citizens-against-cap-and-trade

I have signed, and also have spoken directly to my state representatives and found that we share the same views on the Cap & Trade bill.

My friends, we must make the people in DC remember that they work for us, and that they need to listen to what we say, or they can start looking for another job.
The 2010 elections will prove it
