I excercised my rights today and wrote to my accidental Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). Here is what I wrote:
Dear Senator,
Have you been watching the polls? The American people are growing more opposed to the dreadful health care bill submitted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reed, and it is not because they don't know what's in the bill; it's because they DO know. This is perhaps the worst proposal the Senate has seen since the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. We have been trying to tell you since August -- DON'T vote for this bill, or anything similar. The promises and claims made for this bill are not only false, they are transparently false.
We are firmly resolved to visit the same fate on representatives who vote for this bill as that which befell the Democrats who pushed government-controlled health care in 1993-4. A lot of heads rolled in November of that year. Democrat heads. I am guessing that you do not desire that fate for yourself.
Drop the bill. Start over. Don't try to repair a building with a few leaks by tearing it down.
Sincerely,
Hermit and Mrs. Crab

(By the way, I have discovered that my employer, Frontier Telephone of Rochester, has blocked access to the We Surround Rochester website. Hmmm... They also block Ann Coulter's website. Is that partisan politics I smell?
