Email to Obama August 16th, 2009

I watched one of your "town halls". You emphasized only points upon which many would agree need fixing: arbitrary cancellation of insurance, preconditions, etc. It was very artful. What you left out and will not address is more telling. You are relying on the American people agreeing with what you say and hoping they won't learn about what you will not address. That is why all your emergency bills, that need to be passed immediately, are hundreds and hundreds of pages long; only better to hide the elements you don't want us to know about. But the fact is the bill you want passed and you haven't read, has many other poor policies that are not acceptable to many of us.

Many of the things you spoke of which need fixing could be resolved by competition and with small incremental changes. Individual bills limited to specific issues clearly outlining cause and effect with specific solutions would work just as well. Such as tort reform, cross state competition, etc. But that would not suit your larger agenda. Clearly the public option will eventually kill private insurance. You know that. That is your plan. Watch your own SEIU video. You say that is not the plan. You know cost can only be held down under your plan by rationing since eventually there will be no competitive incentive to reduce price. Well, maybe you don't know that because there is no evidence you understand the capitalistic system.

You would say "I have no larger agenda". But we are allowed to believe you do because of your past statements on single payer policy, your past associations, your obfuscation and our growing distrust of you. You say we must do this now, immediately, without line by line debate because of the growing deficit. If you really cared about the growing deficit you would not have signed that piece of crap stimulus bill; a liberal earmark, spending bill with no near term positive impact on the recession and only long term inflationary impact and multi-generational debt.

You are not to be believed. Worse your continued pursuit of your socialist agenda while lying about your intent further erodes faith in our political system and our Constitutional foundation because now we see how artfully it can be manipulated with leaders in congress, with the support of the President, passing laws too big to comprehend and not even read by those who vote on them and sign them.

The only alternative is to throw everyone out and start over with an administration and legislative body responsive to the people. Simultaneously we must undue the liberal indoctrination of the American people who have lost sight of the American dream, who were never taught the fundamentals of our governmental system, and now are blindly happy to become wards of the state. Essentially, these people to whom I refer are the people who voted for you.
