If its like what you posted earlier. YES

This is from a White House email, and contains info that the White House is hoping to go viral in response to all the distortions and lies being pushed by insurance companies and their Republican allies. I'm curious to know what people find most objectionable, positive, dishonest, or noteworthy. (Note, I'm printing more than 4 sentences because this is not copyrighted and the email expressly encourages its distribution.)

One of the big issues is that there are actually 5 bills pending, so there is not actual pending vote...

I do however think I would vote for it, as a representative of the people of RI, they probably favor this bill more than others... my underlying concern is that many congressmen are responding to the lobbyists and insurance who are fueling this debate and not to the people.

So what you really want is universal health care that's not universal.

Why don't you strap on a set and admit that what you really want is to undo the fact that Obama won the election and that this is just the most effective way since its unlikely that you'll be able to bring him up on blowjob charges?

I actually can't really say for sure, I don't know the specifics. I certainly do want reform, but I'm not so sure how this solution works. So I didn't vote in the poll.

Scap it all, let everyone take care of themselves, and lean on family members if you can't afford it.

It will make families tighter, and more reliant, creating a stronger family unit, and a stronger community...

More importantly, it puts so much money back in our pockets, and puts your health care 100% in your control.

NO
I would like Obama to stand before the people without his Teleprompters and answer questions put to him by a few of these old "White Bastards" I would like to hear him tell us why people who can afford it come down from Canada to American Hospitals to have Colonoscopys and Heart Operations, I would like him to explain why those Politician Scum in Congress won't have the same Health Plan as the one they are trying to Push on the American People, why will Rat Face Specter have a different Health Plan than mine, I would like him to explain why this Bill has to be RUSHED through, I would like him to explain and tell me why if things are so bad in this country why does the drunken bum with 7 illegitimate kids who has never worked a day in his life and is on Medicaid get better health & dental care than I do.

Why won't This President put 5 Dems & 5 Repubs on prime time TV and let them explain this whole bill page by page to the American People, this Health Bill is one of the most important Changes in our society that the country has ever seen IT IS LIFE AND DEATH why does our President LIE (AARP never endorsed it) what other lies has he told us does he think he is just going flash his beautiful smile and we are all going to swallow his bull*****.

The "Sleeping Giant" is waking up Chicago Politics isn't going to work on this one, this one involves Life And Death.

After all the destructive, disgusting, violent Demonstrations that the Left Wing Liberal Democrats have put on over the last 50 years it Mind Boggling to hear them complain about some old White Wrinkled Americans "Yelling"

WE SHALL OVERCOME
LET US PRAY
FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I'M FREE AT LAST (he knew how to yell God rest his soul)

Didn't quite feel that way about the Patriot Act though or the hundred other things the shrub did? You were all for it when he had lobbyists writing the bills.

Sack up and own the fact that anything with Obama's name on gets an automatic thumbs down from your kind.

By ANNE FLAHERTY

WASHINGTON (AP) - Amid a boisterous debate on health care reform, people flooded members of Congress on Thursday with so many e-mails that they overloaded the House's primary Web site.

Technical support issued a warning to congressional staff that the site - - may be slow or unresponsive because of the large volume of e-mail being sent to members.United States House of Representatives, 111th Congress, 1st Session

Jeff Ventura, a spokesman for the House's chief administrative officer, which maintains the Web site, said traffic data was not available and could not be released without the lawmakers' consent.

But anecdotally, he said, the spike in e-mail volume was widely believed to be a result of the health care debate.

"It is clearly health care reform," Ventura said. "There's no doubt about it."
