my e-mail to Senator Baucus today said this...
Are you kidding me??? I just heard that you, Senator Baucus, are proposing to exempt unions from taxation of health benefits should it be enacted for the rest of us. When are you going to start representing the citizens that elected you? You were not elected by unions, the Democrats, or the Obama administration. Stand up for what is right and represent what the people of Montana want. We do NOT want a health care system run by the federal government. We do NOT want our children and grandchildren saddled with back-breaking economic debt. We do NOT want our medical records digitized so that some government bureaucrat can look at them. We do NOT want to allow states the option of using federal taxpayer money to provide health care to those who have entered our country illegally.That's right...it's our money, not yours. Stand up NOW, Senator Baucus and speak out. Get out of that back room and give us the details of the health care plans being proposed. Invite your fellow Senators from other parties to participate in the meetings and in the upcoming day-long "discussion" being aired on ABC. To not invite dissenting viewpoints and other ideas is like the author editing his own book. You'll see what you want to see and miss the errors. Come on Senator...you are a more honorable man than this.
