Hey Mike! Grow a pair, will ya?

I wrote to my congressman Mike Michaud (D) today. About health care. Here's what I said. Wonder if it will do any good.

VOTE TO PASS HEALTH CARE.

NOW.

DO IT NOW.

QUIT WAFFLING. VOTE YES!

I have written to you once before, on the issue of health care. Health care is the single most important issue of our time. VOTE TO REFORM HEALTH CARE!!!

I am a good Democrat. In my lifetime, I have been a member of the United Auto Workers, the Sheet Metal Workers International Association and the Teamsters. I worked on the Obama campaign and helped to elect Democrats to the legislature. So help me, if you don't vote to pass this thing, and the devil himself runs against you in November, I will work to get him elected. I don't have a ton of money to donate to an election campaign, but I have a pen and a talent with letter-writing and I can make a lot of noise in one direction or another. Which direction I aim my words is entirely up to you and how you vote on heath care reform.

Get it done. VOTE TO PASS!

I have heard enough from politicians who are in the pockets of lobbyists. I am your constituent. I am 44 years old. I have family histories of heart disease, diabetes and cancer and I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE.

Pass the damned thing already, will you?

Hm. Wonder how we can make this scream to the skies.

Probably a form letter. When we both wrote to Thad McCotter, we got back a form letter outlining all the ways the health reform package was going to destroy the country, in spite of his vote against it.
