TO ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILL

(THIS IS THE TEXT OF AN E-MAIL I SENT OUT EARLIER TODAY, PLEASE READ AND REACT AS YOU FEEL APPROPRIATE, THANKS)

Ok, I'm hoping, that by having this forwarded by any or (hopefully) all of you to your entire e-mail list, that sooner or later, it will reach someone or some group with the wherewithall and knowhow to make it happen.
The plan is to make it clear to LAS VEGAS that should this health care plan pass the Senate, that the Country as a WHOLE, will begin boycotting the City of Las Vegas.
To some of you, this may sound strange, but Nevada is Harry Reeds home state...and lets face it....Las Vegas is pretty much the center of the power, money and influence in that state. What's needed is an OVERWHELMING influence there..to put a stop to this fiasco. Now, maybe ol' Harry is in a place where he's comfortable retiring..but somehow I doubt it...
I'm not the one to do this...I haven't the FIRST idea how to make it happen, except to do THIS...to forward it to EVERYONE..and ask THEM to forward it to EVERYONE...I have to beleive that somewhere down the road, it'll reach someplace that DOES have the knowhow and the reach and influence to make it happen..but this REALLY, REALLY needs to go to as many people as absolutely POSSIBLE.
in addition to this, every place that I have an ONLINE presence, I'm also going to post this, just as it is, with the request for everyone THERE, to copy and paste it into THIEIR mail and send it once AGAIN.
OK....that's it......if there's someone ELSE of influence in the Senate, that comes from someplace that could be impacted in a similar way that Las Vegas could be, I'd love to hear about it and I'd encourage you to add it to this e-mail before forwarding it..and if you DO add another place, I'd also encourage you to not only FORWARD it, but to reply to all on the original list to keep us informed and anyplace NEW that we might be able to influence.
Thank you all for your time...and I hope at least SOME of you will carry this to the next step.
SEMPER FI to the entire Country, never has there been a more important time to be FAITHFULL to it.
thanks

Your explanation of why health care reform, as contained in the congressional proposals, is bad is completely missing.

Perhaps you want to explain your position on this issue and make some converts?

Why should any of us join you in your boycott of Las Vegas, which, by the way, I've never been to in the first place? I think you may need to go back to the drawing board and figure out a different plan of attack. First of all, why blame the bill on Harry Reid? He didn't write it. Why take your dislike for the bill out on Las Vegas? What did they do?

I'm sorry. I can't support your boycott or your reasoning.

Raybearmass,
I actually honestly do have real concerns about our governments track record of being good stewards over money and power that they continue to accumulate with every bill that they pass.
I have no idea what the health care bill will actually look like and if I was convinced that it would help more people in getting coverage and not hurt the quality of care and availability of services etc. that we will have, I could be very comfortable with it. Also that it will not further create greater burdens on our economy and eventually become a tax on many people that make under $250,000.00.

That said though I think that I know where you are going with your concerns, I personally do not want to hurt people that are working in Las Vegas and struggling with this economy right now in order to make a point.
If you want to explain your positions and have people write to Harry Reid about their concerns, that makes sense. Maybe something else. I just do not like the idea of doing something that can have negative consequences towards people that have no connection to what it is you are unhappy about.

Oh please. What a bunch of nonsense, Ray. You're going to find few people, especially in this group, take you seriously. You present no research, just a fear inspired email ..... the kind geezers send and get all of the time .... that end up in the trash bin.

Boycott Las Vegas? Fine. Actually, Las Vegas is already a train wreck. Foreclosures galore and a growing lack of water. Plus, with the middle class being driven into poverty, few will be able to afford to travel there.

Single Payer Healthcare, socialized healthcare .... is exactly what this country needs .... and fast.

No Public Option, No re-election ..... no kidding.
