It is past time for everyone to start speaking out and letting your voice be heard, even if it is different than mine. I don't have a clue as how to organize a peaceful demonstration, but I would certainly be willing to participate and help in any way possible. We, as a people, have got to stop the government takeover of health care. Whether you agree with the concept or not, it is plain wrong in the way it is being implemented.
I am tired of this Chicago-type politics forcing the issues down our throats. Can you have a recall vote for a president? Probably not. But we can let our voices be heard in November.
Any and all politicians voting against the will of the people should be voted out of office, Republicans and Democrats alike. Whatever happened to the Mr. Smiths? Contact your representatives and senators and let them know how you feel.
