Take Health Care Away from Congress - Sign Petition
website ^ | 10/2/09 | Congressman John Fleming

Posted on 10/02/2009 5:44:41 PM PDT by hobson

I just received this email and thought it should be posted here.

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.

Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us... (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html

Probably, but it would still be nice to for the Congressman to receive an overwhelming response.

I agree. Hope Glen Beck or someone at FOX can discuss this.
As I said before-—All or No one. If these politicians think they are so elite, we need to pull them down.
