Greetings North Lake TEA Party Patriots,
For a moment this morning, I almost felt sorry for the AARP representative who was speaking at their Healthcare Forum in Leesburg. Then I quickly regained my senses. Thank you for the MANY Patriots who came out, some from our sister group, the Volusia Patriots. The room was overwhelmingly against HR 3200. During the Q&A time, the speaker admitted he did not have a copy of the bill. After two gentlemen asked excellent questions ( Joseph Rudderow of the Republican Executive Committee and Matt McGonigal, owner of Chem-Dry Carpet Cleaners) the speaker admitted he didn't know what the bill said about the issues raised. At that point I walked to the front of the room and laid the 1,017 page bill on the table in front of him and helped him out with some of the previous questions. The copy of HR 3200 remained on the table as a great visual while the questions continued. It was quite a moment when20the dear lady who had cut her AARP card in pieces marched up and handed her card back to them.
Repeatedly he stated AARP has not endorsed this legislation.
Well, I guess he didn't know about this: 1-800-211-0907
The above 800 number is being paid for by AARP. When you call it a robot voice will ask you toC2enter your zip code and then select the congressman you want to speak with. It then automatically dials the number for you. A person will be there waiting to get your opinion for the Congressman about how you feel about government run healthcare.
Now AARP set this up to give Congressmen a "yes" opinion about government run healthcare, but it can not stop you from giving a "NO" opinion.
And that is the beauty of the plan.
Please make the call.
