I read some great pointers about voicing one's perspective / grassrooms activism on Noodlefood today. With those thoughts in mind, I went ahead & registered to post comments on the GOP Platform 2008 website. Here's a cross post of my quick entry:
| Health Care : Health care reform | July 17 - 11:24 AM |
| Personal responsibility and accountability are - or should be - core values to every American. This means each person must be responsible for obtaining and paying for their health care. We are not a socialist country; taxing productive Americans to pay for those who refuse to be responsible for themselves is a short road to financial and moral ruin. We must NOT implement socialized medicine, or we will exacerbate the "entitlement mentality" already damaging our country. We must not impose government restrictions on medical providers, or we will drive away any real innovation. | |
I'm not all that articulate about it, but then, I figure anyone reading it probably isn't going to wade through a huge wall of text, either, so Short Sweet and To The Point ...
