Retired military, war vet, disabled vet, and I DO NOT support Obamacare, and Ms. Pelosi, and Mr. Hoyer call me “Unamerican”.

“We believe it is healthy for such a historic effort to be subject to so much scrutiny and debate. The failure of past attempts is a reminder that health insurance reform is a defining moment in our nation’s history — it is well worth the time it takes to get it right. We are confident that we will get this right.

Already, three House committees have passed this critical legislation and over August, the two of us will work closely with those three committees to produce one strong piece of legislation that the House will approve in September.

In the meantime, as members of Congress spend time at home during August, they are talking with their constituents about reform. The dialogue between elected representatives and constituents is at the heart of our democracy and plays an integral role in assuring that the legislation we write reflects the genuine needs and concerns of the people we represent.

However, it is now evident that an ugly campaign is underway not merely to misrepresent the health insurance reform legislation, but to disrupt public meetings and prevent members of Congress and constituents from conducting a civil dialogue. These tactics have included hanging in effigy one Democratic member of Congress in Maryland and protesters holding a sign displaying a tombstone with the name of another congressman in Texas, where protesters also shouted “Just say no!” drowning out those who wanted to hold a substantive discussion.

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American.

“Afraid of the facts”? Here’s a fact. Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Hoyer will well mark the day they referred to patriotic Americans – such as myself – many of whom fought for this country – like myself, and wonder when they are sent packing just what happen.

Thanks so much for giving us the “shout” that will be heard around the country through 2010 and 2012.

I’m proud to stand against the government takeover of our lives, and this is only the beginning of what Democrats will see in the weeks and months to come.

Un-American, you bet, when it comes the to America that Obama, Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to remake.

Let’s take our Un-American selves to Washington on September 12th, 2009!
