Rights Radio w/ Dr. Joyce Starr: Have Townhall Protests Over ObamaCare Opened Pandora’s Box re Citizens vs Congress? Are the toughest questions only an election away? Show Date: August 13, 2009.
Members of Congress, as we pointed out previously, receive their income for life – no matter how many or few years they serve – and the best healthcare your money cannot buy.
Yet, the citizens have no real control over their votes or actions, have little information about campaign contributors (until watchdog groups demand this information) and are left in the dark about the lobbyists who court Members of Congress once they’re elected.
Is this about to change? Is the present prologue? [See our article and listen to our show on Mandated Healthcare. Obamacare: Will Senior Citizens be Safe or Sorry With Government Mandated Healthcare? Valid Solution or www.Healthcare.con?]
Tough Questions for Member of Congress:
- Can you promise I will not lose my private plan or doctor under any healthcare bill
that you vote for? - Can you promise that you will enroll in the new healthcare plan if it passes?
- Can you promise that the healthcare plan you vote for will not lead to higher deficits?
- Can you promise that government bureaucrats will not ration health care?
- Can you promise to personally read every bill you vote on?
- Can you promise to disclose all money and gifts you receive from lobbying groups on your website?
- Can you promise that you will vote to reduce retirement benefits to Members of Congress
and restrict the number of years that such benefits can be received? - Can you promise to hold regular Town Hall meetings in your state and listen to questions raised?
