healthcare and other things

Obamacare is now the law of the land. And I'm part of that majority that doesn't like it. However, as much as I don't like it and as much as I don't like the people that voted for it I think those who are threatening or initiating violence on those who did vote it need to stop. I also believe that those on the left who are unhappy with those who voted against president Obama's health care bill need to stop the threats, the insults, and the violence they have initiated towards those who did not vote the way they wanted them to.

This country was founded on freedom. Freedom of speech and freedom of thought freedom of religion freedom of the press and many others as well. one of those freedoms is also our ability to freely elect our representatives in the government. Nobody around the right or the left conservative progressive liberal whatever you want to call oneself if you don't like what your representative did in voting for or against this bill than the best thing you can do is in November is to get off your dead ass and vote. Or maybe get off your butt a little bit earlier and run against them. If you have better ideas if you think you can represent the people of your district or of your state better then please, by all means get up off your dead ass and run for the Senate or run as representative for your congressional district. But do not ever respond in violence because you disagree with their vote. The worst thing you can do for most of these career politicians is vote them out of office, that will actually hurt them worse than if you did some sort of physical violence to them.

So all of you on the far right, for all of you on the far left, write your congressmen write your Sen. to express your displeasure in an appropriate manner but not through violence. Ask if island's and insulting and folder phone calls are fodder for the other side whether you're left or right or middle-of-the-road someone will find a way to utilize your actions and your words against you and against your ideas, and may in the long run inside others to violence.
