RSS56% of Americans Want to be Heard at Town Hall Meetings … Hear Catherine Brag Small Business Owner Go Ballistic and Push for Competition in Health Care Insurance in California
Hey Congress … at Town Hall meetings you are to be seen and not heard.
Actually, you are to listen to “We the People” and not regurgitate your Obama talking points on health care. “We the People” are tired of listening to you … it is our turn to be heard and in these Town Halls, you will listen.
In a recent Rasmussen Poll, 56% of American voters say that it’s more important for Congressmen to hear the view of their constituents rather than explain the proposed health care legislation.
At town hall meetings on the health care issue, most Americans say it’s more important for those in Congress to listen rather than speak.
Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters nationwide say that it’s more important for Congressmen to hear the view of their constituents rather than explain the proposed health care legislation.
Forty-nine percent (49%) have a favorable opinion of those opposing the health care reforms at town hall meetings. That’s up eight points from 41% a month ago.
This small business owner in California let herself be heard at a Town Hall meeting. As a small business owner she could use tort reform. Conveniently enough in 1500 pages of the Obamacare House Bill there is not one page devoted to tort reform. As a small business owner, she could use competition in health care insurance. There are 1300 insurance companies in the United States and she can only use six in the state of California. There are approximately 37 million people in California and six insurance carriers. What would happen to the cost of health care insurance if they opened it up to competition and allowed the free market system to work?
President Barack Obama, the liberal Democrats and his socialist minions have awoke a Sleeping Giant called “We the People”. Democrats … vote at your own risk. A vote for Obamacare and following the foolish advice of Nancy Pelosi is a sure fire exit ticket out of Washington, DC.

[...] I: 56% of Americans want Congressmen to shut up and listen to “We the People”. Share [...]
The present congress is an abomination to the people. They don’t write the bills nor do they read them. “We the people” have had enough and they will do something to send all of the existing congress people home that they can by using the ballot box. This applies to both political parties. They think that they are above listening to the people. The very fact that they think that they can exempt themselves from this proposed health plan is the final straw. I predict that there will be the largest class of new senators and represenatives ever.
#2, I would tend to agree.
Although, who ever continues to push Obamacare and spending will suffer worse.
There may just be a larger swing than is being predicted because Obama is turing out to be an unmitigated disaster.
This woman was spot on and a great American for standing tall. There are several options that are being ignored by the representatives in control of our congress! Here’s one that if Obama floated, would receive applause from Maine to San Diego. http://coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=LegislationIssues.SponsoredLegislation&ContentRecord_id=0ecea2bc-802a-23ad-44ce-d5776a8d49d6&Issue_id=

I had originally phoned my Senator Chet Edwards to advise him not to be a part of a ‘go it alone vote’. 4 calls back and forth we missed eachother. So I told one of his aids I would put it in an email, now that I have his attention, “so be certain he reads it”. Agreed.
I was proud of the email…civil and so easy to propose alternatives to advancing sociolisum. But now a week later, he has not responded.
My next email to him will likily not be read, though it will describe some of the proceedures which would follow a democrat “go it alone.’
At a local level I have formitively been an active political person. Community leadership, getting fire dept put in or its funding, ceasing sludge dumping in our road ditches, taking on big oil bullying, school board, teacher issues or running out a school superintendant, and once going door to door for signatures to raise a vote for putting one school dist into another. So you see, it is all small time. Ones of such type live close to everyone.
I would make my re-entry. Organizing in smaller pockets to make a whole — if go it alone occcurs. Good rational thinking, if it is quick and concise, is most conviencing one on one and door to door. It will work. Just a moment of face to face kindness and good sense and — Chet Edwards will be history. Like minds often get the same idea. Good sense will return, not that I personally want far right, but to more traditional values.
In combat I was a pointman of a many worn out boots, on the move near constantly unit. A volunter position, from which you will surely be hit, and you are certain to do your part. From time to time I have had people tell me they “wish they could have done that”. Well…in any significant effort, there is a place and time to act…of course the moment must be seized. In an average song, conclussions to dance must be made much prior to the fourth minute.
Thanks SM for getting to the dance floor early.
