Just 10 of many questions to ask at your local townhall with your congressman.

[listenhillary]

11. Where in the constitution do you find the authority to force this system on United States citizens?

[bert]

see question 1

the force seems to be strong in this area

It is reverberating throughout the galaxie

[swain_forkbeard]

“...why don’t you just leave me alone?”

Always an appropriate question for an American citizen to ask his government.

[Zakeet]

Question 11: Did you read this bill before you voted for it? Do you intend read it before you vote for it?

Question 12: What, if anything, is contained in this bill that you disagree with? Explain.

[AJMCQ]

How much money has Mr. Obama spend in legal fees to keep his original birth certificate and others records from public view? As a representative of the American public, does this concern you at all?

[Logic n' Reason]

Nope! The number one question to ask is, "when will the entire congress go after medical tort reform in a truly meaninful fashion?
And question number two should be, "when will congress put all it's efforts in putting those who have been thrown out of work through no fault of their own back to work?"

Then you can start on the other questions....

[Pharmboy]

Please name the three top problems in the current US health care system and how this bill specifically addresses each.

[sickoflibs]

Nice list. Very helpful.

[oldpass]

Question #1:
Shouldn’t the #1 priority be jobs and the economy?

This health care bill is a 10.5% additional direct tax
and at least underestimated cost of %50. Where will these
funds come from besides current jobs and debt against future
jobs?

Bump for later

[jetson]

What about “ why are you trying to sell lies to the American people backed by a phony who’s real name is Barry Satoro?”

[SeattleBruce]

Bump

[SlowBoat407]

If these dirtbags are so intent on giving the insurance companies “competition” and on “keeping them honest”, let them quit their jobs in Congress and start their own freaking insurance company. Run it according to their health care bill, and after 5 years report on whether or not it was able to support itself.

[frposty]

Ok, here’s my question.

Given the enormous implact the bill will have on our lives and the economy, its complexity and size (number of pages), and the controversy it has already produced, why on earth should we want to pass the whole package in a hurry?

[Lou L]

Be sure that when you ask these questions, you cite the specific bill. You're quoting from various pages, but you can't just say, "the healthcare bill." There are multiple bills floating around, and vaguely referring to one gives the congressman or woman too much "wiggle room."

In the case of the questions you provided, I believe these references are all in H.R. 3200. Citing this, the Congressperson will immediately know you're well-armed with information.

Question:
Why are the taxpayers going to fund union health plans?
SECTION 164 PAGE 65

[org.whodat]

Way to start giving the democrats ammo, talking points, questions, You should be ashamed.

[Salvation]

Who actually wrote this bill? Congressman can you get us the names of the people that wrote this bill, so that we can understand their views on healthcare?

Yes, It couldn't have been written by Congressmen and women. They don't move that fast in writing something like this.

According to Glenn Beck -- Van Jones' fingerprints are on the stimulus bill. Who really did write the stimulus bill?

Who really did write the cap and tax bill?

These questions need to be answered FIRST!

Come, pajama researchers on FR -- let's find out!
