Senator Carl Levin,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.
Page 22 of the HC Bill: Mandates that the Govt will audit books of all employers that self-insure!

Page 379 Sec 1191: The Govt creates more bureaucracy via a "Tele-Health Advisory Committee." (Can you say HC by phone?)
Page 425 Lines 4-12: The Govt mandates "Advance-Care Planning Consult." (Think senior citizens end-of-life patients.)
Page 425 Lines 17-19: The Govt will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney, etc. (And it's mandatory!)
Page 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3: The Govt provides an "approved" list of end-of-life resources; & guiding you in death. (Also called 'assisted suicide.')
Page 427 Lines 15-24: The Govt mandates a program for orders on "end-of-life." (The Govt has a say in how your life ends!)

Page 429 Lines 13-25: The GOVT will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. (I wouldn't want to stand before God after getting paid for THAT job!)
Page 430 Lines 11-15: The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end-of-life! (Again -- no choice!)
Page 469: Community-Based Home Medical Services = Non-Profit Organizations. (Hello? ACORN Medical Services here!?!)

Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you and your colleagues are debating.
Furthermore, if you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the country and destroys the doctor-patient relationship, I will do everything in my power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
Respectfully,
Stephen E. Fraser, MD

Obama is Criticized by Bob Ainsworth
The decline for the support of the war in Britain has been placed on Barack Obama, by defense secretary, Bob Ainsworth.
Basically our president is a weakling who can't make a decision about what we are going to do and as a consequence, we are frustrating other countries and, people are dying.
Senior British Government sources have become increasingly frustrated with Mr Obama’s “dithering” on Afghanistan, the Daily Telegraph disclosed earlier this month, with several former British defence chiefs echoing the concerns. (click title for full article)
I'm not sure what the delay with Obama is. Part of being a president is being decisive. Agree or disagree with George W. Bush, he did get things done when it came to dealing with our enemies.
Mr Obama is believed to have decided to send about 34,000 more American troops in addition to the 68,000 currently in Afghanistan. Gen McChrystal requested about 40,000 more soldiers.

Saturday Night Live Pokes Fun At Obama
Even though SNL is clearly an outlet for comedy writers to express their liberal agenda, every once in awhile they attempt to play fair.
In this clip from this last weeks SNL, you can clearly see some very interesting points that are made about Obama and his administration's choices in handling our economic crisis. I still don't understand why the guy impersonating Obama doesn't even really try to impersonate him. It's not like what we've seen from SNL in the past, where someone really worked hard at the voice of George W. Bush, and his movements and idiosyncrasies.
Enjoy...

Enzymes
So, I thought I'd share with you that I've been hearing on the radio how great enzymes are and how we need them to absorb nutrients in our food and such. Of course, I know this because, I learned all about the various enzymes in school and what they break down. I just never considered taking "extra enzymes" because, I really always assumed the body provided everything you need.
So, as of the month of November, I have started taking enzymes and it's worked great! I eat a lot less, I have much more energy, and I think I look better too.
I just wanted to share that with you. I am not an affiliate so, I can't make any money off promoting this. I would just say that if you've been considering doing this, I think it's a good idea and, you should definitely try it!
Let me know how it works for you.

A Lesson About Dealing With Terrorists From The Dick Van Dyke Show
I'm sure you're thinking, "What does 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' tell anyone about dealing with terrorists?" Well, the truth is, the show doesn't mention terrorism but, there is a great episode that teaches a lesson in appeasement.
For those of you not familiar with the old sitcom, "The Dick Van Dyke Show," it features, Dick Van Dyke playing Robert Petrie, who is a writer for a television show. His co-workers included the GREAT Morey Amsterdam, and the equally GREAT Rose Marie. Robert is married to Laura, Mary Tyler Moore, and they have a son named Ritchie, who was played by Larry Mathews.
In one episode that sticks out in my head, Ritchie comes home with a black eye. After questioning Ritchie, Laura and Rob discover that it is a girl that is hitting him and continues to do so. Robert then goes and speaks with the father who, in turn, asks his daughter, who happens to be a very nice, sweet looking girl, if she hit Ritchie, to which she replies, "Oh, I love Ritchie, I would never hurt him."
The father of the little girl will not listen nor discipline his daughter and Robert must discuss with Laura what else they can do to stop this girl from hitting and bullying their son. With much protest from Laura, at first, they both decide to tell Ritchie, "if she hits you, you have our permission to hit her back."
Of course, the episode ends up fine. Ritchie didn't hit the little girl. I think she ends up kissing him or something but, the point is, the whole message of how to deal with a bully. Sure, they wanted to talk and be civil but, as soon as Robert realized that was out of the question, he knew something else had to be done. Both he and Laura didn't want to see their son get hit but, if the other side is completely unreasonable, more drastic measures need to be taken.
Isn't this what we see with terrorism from Muslim extremists? Have we not repeatedly tried to sit down and deal with them, talk with them, try to be civil with them? This has been going on for YEARS and YEARS now! Does Obama know that he cannot negotiate with terrorists? Apparently, he doesn't. I believe when you try and do the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, it's called insanity.
Now, look at this article:
President Obama was in Japan Friday as Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the self-proclaimed architect of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will stand trial in a federal civilian courtroom down the street from the site where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood.
First of all, this man is NOT a citizen. He should not be afforded the same rights as one and second of all, even if he were a citizen, he would be considered a traitor and would not be afforded the same rights as a citizen. What the hell is Obama doing?!
The worst part is, some people actually believe that Obama is supporting the Constitution! There are literally people in this world that support this absolutely insane decision! I couldn't believe my eyes when I was reading a thread started by a friend on Facebook. He actually had some nut-job arguing with him about this being rational and in line with our Constitution and unless you're a Constitutional lawyer, she didn't want to hear of anything else.
What kind of a moron doesn't know that a sworn enemy of this country, not born here, isn't a citizen, is NOT protected by the Constitution?
When I tried to explain to her how foolish her beliefs were, by presenting her with facts, all she could respond with was how "rude" I am and, that I'm ignorant and, young. I should have thanked her for the "young" comment but, I was so appalled by her completely dodging the question, I forgot.
What difference does it make if I am rude? Do these people really think that I have time to sit down and pussy foot around with them? They are not nice to me when they are making their points. Why should they expect anyone to be "nice-nice" with them when their beliefs are putting the citizens of this country at risk? I'm really sick and tired of being told that I'm being "rude" or, that I need to respect someone I don't even know, other than their disgusting worship of the big-eared commie that now sits in our White House.
If someone feels I'm talking "down to them" or, that I'm not being "nice" well, too bad. I don't have time to worry about my delivery or yours. Make your points, actually try and counter the argument instead of whining like a baby about how it was delivered to you.
What Obama is doing is appeasing the enemy. He is showing weakness to terrorism and quite frankly, this is disrespecting the REAL citizens of this country that we lost on 9/11. How dare he do this! I am completely satiated by this man. This is a message to the terrorists that we are weak and timorous. This man belongs in a military court, closed doors, and maybe even a rubber hose.

Nancy Pelosi Is a Disgusting Pig
Really? We're going to jail if we don't do what you want us to do Pelosi?
The woman that is void of a soul speaks to the American people about the Health Care bill she is responsible for passing through the House.
This video is documentation of how our representatives feel they don't need to respond or discuss anything with the people they work for...US! Could you imagine if your boss asked you a question and you responded the way Nancy Pelosi did in this video? Do you think you'd still have a job by the end of the day?

House Passes Health Care Reform Bill
Late, last night, the House passed the 1,990-page, $1.2 trillion legislation, called Health Care reform.
Only one Republican betrayed the party. His name is Representative Joseph Cao 4640 S Carrollton Ave # 120, New Orleans, LA (504) 483-2325. All other members of the party voted "no."
You can click the title for the full story.
Hopefully, this will not get passed in the Senate. It is concerning that it has come this far however. The bill, from what I heard this morning on the radio, does have some clause that will not allow for abortions. I guess that's the silver lining?
I am deeply concerned about this bill and more concerned about Republicans passing something that would be considered, "bipartisan." It is time for the country to stand up and be firm and let the federal government know that we don't want them running our health care system!
From what I have read in the bill, within the next few years, as it is written, states that having a private plan will be illegal! Now, how can the democrats say this is about providing another option, when they know damn well this is about getting rid of all private medical coverage?

Elections Looking Good For Republicans
For a house seat in NY and, for governor slots in New Jersey and, Virginia, Republicans are quite excited about wins that may occur tomorrow. (Click title for full story.)
If the Republicans win these elections, it will send a strong message to the Democrats that they will have a hard time pushing Obama's agenda. Let's hope and pray they do get the message.
The one great thing about Obama is, he seems to have awakened many folks on the right and in the middle. We no longer live in a country where we can just sit back and idly watch political fiasco's. What Obama is pushing are policies that will change our country to one that will no longer be free but, a nanny state that controls us from cradle to the grave.

Moore Logic
In my quest for exposing Michael Moore to be the fool he truly is, I figured it would be best to go right to the dirt bag's website myself and read the inane junk he posts on his site. You can get there by going to michaelmoore.com.
In an article entitled, "Michael Moore's Action Plan: 15 Things Every American Can Do Right Now" you will find the most absurd, zero-sum ideas this man has thought of. You can click the title to be taken directly to the article.
Now, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with contacting your representative, calling the White House, doing community work, ect. I think all of that is completely acceptable. However, the things he wants people to demand are laughable, and the meaning behind such things are utterly ludicrous, minus inference.
Let me give some examples. I just love examples!
Moore says, "Declare a moratorium on all home evictions. Not one more family should be thrown out of their home. The banks must adjust their monthly mortgage payments to be in line with what people's homes are now truly worth -- and what they can afford. Also, it must be stated by law: If you lose your job, you cannot be tossed out of your home."
Is he kidding? Does he have any idea how foolish this is? Look, I don't think anyone wants to see people get kicked out of their homes but, I'll be damned if the rest of us have to pay for what someone can't afford. This is what happens when you can't afford something, a house that a person shouldn't have bought in the first place. We can't be babysitting people and telling them what they can and cannot do, people have the choice to purchase what they want to but, with that choice comes responsibility! THEIR responsibility, not everyone else. Most banks do work with people. They don't want to throw people out either but, they have to get paid as well.
If you lose your job, you can't be tossed out of your home? You should be allowed to stay for free? Not pay? What if you got fired? What if you pissed in your boss's coffee and got fired? Why not everyone just go out and get fired so they don't have to work and then, they will be guaranteed not being thrown out of their home? Sure, it's different when some people lose their jobs because of lay offs or, maybe you were unjustly fired, (I sure have been!), and it sucks! I never expected someone else to guarantee me a place to live. I had to rely on my friends and family for help.
I don't even mind someone getting food stamps or unemployment. Sometimes, you have to ask for help. I get that. I'm just saying that if his plan were actually enacted, you would see immense abuse.
Moore then goes on to say, "Congress must join the civilized world and expand Medicare For All Americans. A single, nonprofit source must run a universal health care system that covers everyone. Medical bills are now the #1 cause of bankruptcies and evictions in this country. Medicare For All will end this misery. The bill to make this happen is H.R. 3200 -- but this bill is worthless without the amendment from Rep. Anthony Weiner that will bring us closer to the real bill that should be passed: H.R. 676."
Okay, I can understand maybe expanding some of Medicare, however, this "single, nonprofit source," is a genuine feeble-mindedness. Nonprofit? Is he out of his mind or, just an evil scum that is taking full advantage of an ignorant population? How can anyone believe that a profit would not be made? There are so many things wrong with this statement, I am not sure where to begin.
Does he presume that doctors and nurses will work for free? How will they get paid if no profit is coming in? Does he believe the government officials will not line their pockets with money, if the government takes over health care? How naive can one person be? This is my whole point whenever I think of liberal "logic," either they are just so ignorant of reality or, they are completely evil people, knowing full well what liars they are, telling people anything and everything to gain power.
How can anyone think that health care would be a good thing if it were nonprofit? There are just somethings that I can't believe anyone has to actually argue the other side. It's prodigious!
I'd like to know where he gets this statistic of the number one reason people go into bankruptcies and get evicted are medical bills. I don't think so. I noticed he didn't site any source for this information. We are just supposed to believe him because, "he says so!" What a pompous ass.
There's plenty more he says in the article. Somethings are okay. Again, I can agree with getting involved, running for office, writing emails or letter, ect. It's just the things he supports dumbfound me.
With health care on the front burner, we are going to be hearing more and more from Moore and I am determined to expose him for what he is, an unqualified, hoodwinking, guile hoaxer.

THEIR responsibility, not everyone else. Most banks do work with people. They don't want to throw people out either but, they have to get paid as well.
If you lose your job, you can't be tossed out of your home? You should be allowed to stay for free? Not pay? What if you got fired? What if you pissed in your boss's coffee and got fired? Why not everyone just go out and get fired so they don't have to work and then, they will be guaranteed not being thrown out of their home? Sure, it's different when some people lose their jobs because of lay offs or, maybe you were unjustly fired, (I sure have been!), and it sucks! I never expected someone else to guarantee me a place to live. I had to rely on my friends and family for help.
I don't even mind someone getting food stamps or unemployment. Sometimes, you have to ask for help. I get that. I'm just saying that if his plan were actually enacted, you would see immense abuse.
Moore then goes on to say, "Congress must join the civilized world and expand Medicare For All Americans. A single, nonprofit source must run a universal health care system that covers everyone. Medical bills are now the #1 cause of bankruptcies and evictions in this country. Medicare For All will end this misery. The bill to make this happen is H.R. 3200 -- but this bill is worthless without the amendment from Rep. Anthony Weiner that will bring us closer to the real bill that should be passed: H.R. 676."
Okay, I can understand maybe expanding some of Medicare, however, this "single, nonprofit source," is a genuine feeble-mindedness. Nonprofit? Is he out of his mind or, just an evil scum that is taking full advantage of an ignorant population? How can anyone believe that a profit would not be made? There are so many things wrong with this statement, I am not sure where to begin.
Does he presume that doctors and nurses will work for free? How will they get paid if no profit is coming in? Does he believe the government officials will not line their pockets with money, if the government takes over health care? How naive can one person be? This is my whole point whenever I think of liberal "logic," either they are just so ignorant of reality or, they are completely evil people, knowing full well what liars they are, telling people anything and everything to gain power.
How can anyone think that health care would be a good thing if it were nonprofit? There are just somethings that I can't believe anyone has to actually argue the other side. It's prodigious!
I'd like to know where he gets this statistic of the number one reason people go into bankruptcies and get evicted are medical bills. I don't think so. I noticed he didn't site any source for this information. We are just supposed to believe him because, "he says so!" What a pompous ass.
There's plenty more he says in the article. Somethings are okay. Again, I can agree with getting involved, running for office, writing emails or letter, ect. It's just the things he supports dumbfound me.
With health care on the front burner, we are going to be hearing more and more from Moore and I am determined to expose him for what he is, an unqualified, hoodwinking, guile hoaxer.
