Time to make some calls to Tom Delay and my elected official in House of Representatives against this horrid bill.

Spread this information abroad!

I just can't believe that the "gimme" generation cannot see how bad this will be for their children and grandchildren. Talk about mortgaging the future!

The very nature of this proposed entitlement lends the bill to "vote getting politics", rather than for the good of the nation. So rather than leave this up to a congress that won't even move to stop illegal aliens from not only entering the country without using legal avenues, they want to feed, educate, give them SS and medical help on the taxpayer tit. Therefore, I think this Medicare prescription-drug bill should be put to a vote by “We The People in the coming election. It is truly frightening to think of the pork Senators, like Ted Kennedy, Byrd, Leahy will tack onto it once in the Senate.

All Freepers, please write, call or fax DeLay today about your concerns over this bill – it is a decision that belongs to the people, not government.

Let your elected know you want a say in this bill and we want the time to read and study the bill found
(here) and type in the bill # H.R.1. If the link doesn't work, it is Thomas.

Presently there are 4 versions. Please read all of them and share your thoughts.

Its a bad bill. It would be more honest if Congress simply gave us HillaryCare. Why single out seniors for special treatment? If they get a piece of the pie, I want mine too.

[yoe]

I just faxed this to DeLay, please do the same.

Dear Congressman DeLay,

Since this Medicare prescription-drug bill would be enormously costly to the nations taxpayer, something many are not cognizant of, and the temptation to lard it with costly pork by politicians, I think the people should vote on it during the election of 2004. It must be made very clear what the bill means; who would benefit by it and what it will cost the taxpayer.

You are aware only some 40% pay Federal Income Tax now; this added burden would be enormous. Will state taxes be involved? How much more Bureaucracy will it entail? What provisions will be in place to stop corruption? And so on. Many receive prescription help now; how much of this proposed bill would piggyback that? I am very much afraid it will eventually bankrupt the nation as it has other nations and not neccessarily through people using it, but government waste and corruption. Socialized medicine has been a failure elsewhere so I urge you to demand a complete and public disclosure of what the bill contains and would also plead that NO PORK be allowed in this bill.

Most Sincerely,

[yoswif]

Interesting that the corporate media never mentions intergenerational tax equity or fiscal sustainability, issues critical to the future of America's children. We have close to 1 million lawyers in this country and not one can find a term or phrase anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights that protects those who can't vote from punitive taxation.
