Sen. Bill Nelson did NOT represent us today
Some of you may know already that today, the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment (which bans federal funding of abortion in the new health care bill) was tabled and thus defeated by a vote of 54 to 45.
You may also know that our distinguished senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) was one of those 54.
He has not responded to my first e-mail yet, but I sent him another one to let him know what I think of his actions today.
I would encourage you to contact him by e-mail and do the same.
Mr. Nelson,
I am extremely disappointed in your action today as you voted to table the Nelson-Hatch-Casey Amendment. I am dumbfounded by your inability to represent your constituents.
Why did you choose not to stand up for life? Why did you choose to ignore the wishes of the majority? You were not elected to do whatever you want, sir. You were elected to represent the views of the citizens of Florida.
If Sen. Reid’s health care bill passes with the CAPPS language as it is now, I will do everything in my power to show fellow voters in Florida how you were directly responsible.
Please, stop ignoring the citizens. Do not vote for this health care reform bill. Do not vote for the 2000-page bill that will cost our weakened economy over 1 TRILLION dollars and 5.5 MILLION jobs. I’m not stupid. I know that this bill WILL increase taxes and premiums and cut benefits for everyone.
Health care reform is needed. But this bill is wrong in every way.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew Ensley
It was difficult to be this polite.
