Default OT - How to fix "The Problem"

A friend sent this to me today.
I don't know if it will help - probably not -
congress has a way of ignoring me anyway.

But worth spreading around, I thought!



HR 615

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page
amendment, courtesy of Republican 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 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 .
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians.
Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress
should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
