Dear Senator Hagan,
Allow me to state right off the bat that I do not want or need another dissertation from you on the on the budget reconciliation process, nor on why you believe that healthcare ‘reform’ in any of its current proposed forms is good for us, the little people. We get it. We know where you stand. What I need -you- to understand is that a majority of your constituents and the American people in general do not want the federal government taking over and thereby destroying the health care and health insurance industries, along with what’s left of our national economy.
Senator, we’ve petitioned you with fact-based, reasoned and rational arguments against the nationalization of the healthcare system, and you’ve responded with almost an entire year of “It is an honor to serve as your United States Senator, and I appreciate your patience as I transition into this new role” , with only the occasional foray into feel-good political rhetoric and ‘politics 101′ descriptions of the process. Not once have you ever directly or honestly addressed the issues.
Not once.
In the 2008 presidential election, N.C. went for Obama by by only three-tenths of one percent. Look at NJ, look at Virginia, both states that voted for Obama by a much broader margin in ’08, and which have now swung wildly in favor of the GOP in the latest elections.
I realize you have five more years in office, but I think you’ll find that that the historically short memory of the American voter can no longer be counted on as a safe bet to save your seat come election time. Vote in favor of any of the proposed healthcare bills at any stage of the process, and your constituents - the people whose futures you are throwing away – will remember. Those who don’t will be reminded.
Understand this, Senator – if you vote to advance any of the proposed healthcare bills and the shameless, disgraceful assault on liberty that they represent, not only will I not vote for you, not only will I turn the votes of at least a dozen people in my immediate circle towards your opponent whoever he/she may be; I will work tirelessly to see you voted out of office  I will organize like-minded taxpayers, fund raise, man phone banks, use every social networking and website technology at my disposal…..I will sweat blood to ensure you’re voted out of office in 2014.
That is my promise to you.
I’ll buy that for a dollar.
(If I’ve got one left.)
