To his credit Sen. Specter stayed and let the people ask the tough questions. He mostly agreed with the people.
Concerning Health Care Bill – Lebanon, Pennsylvania – Aug. 11th, 2009
video source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LkeR-Y_yx4&feature=player_embedded | Arlen Specter got the chance to answer a similar question except he faced a person who had the bill in hand. "Don't worry, if you don't want an abortion you won't have to pay." Convinced? |
Thirty people had been given a number and one by one they were allowed to ask a question. 30 questions were asked. It was the most amazing broadcast…
Those people might have been the people who write on this very website, for the questions and statements they gave. Political parties did not matter but put America first!!! They asked Sen. Specter to be an American. They asked "What are you going to do to put our country back to what our Founding Fathers meant our country to be according to THE CONSTITUTION ?
THEY COVERED EVERYTHING
-Did you read the bill?
-Many people studied the bill. The Fathers assured the people, language would be easy to understand in issues such as this. The Bills that are coming out of Washington are unreadable!
-Money – Who will pay?
-Abortion – Many, Many, Concerns.
-Single Payee – Complete Government Control -NO!!!
-Terrorist Prison – Their release. Don't want them here.
-Mandatory Counseling (To Die with Dignity) NO!!!
-Term Limits – That's what we want.
-Veterans are concerned the way our country is going.
-Illegal Immigrants – Give them an airplane ticket to go back home.
-Money Problems – Too much Debt.
-Since Obama came to office everything is going wrong.
-CAP & TRADE – Electric & Gas prices will destroy the industry in U.S. Everything will go overseas. No jobs! Every aspect of our lives controlled.
-A very well spoken gentleman, softly said "What we want you to do, is just leave us alone, that's all I ask, just leave us alone."
-Rationing of health care. A 74 year old man with cancer will be written off because of age and not paying taxes.
-Washington is stealing us blind.
-Always War. Telling us that Russia and other countries are corrupt and sending our young men and women as pawns all over the world.
It embodied the questions people had been asking for months. It showed what kind of people were at the town hall meetings, because it showed the whole thing, not just bits and pieces. It was intense, respectful, and well behaved.
Later interviewed, a man who had not spoken said "Sen. Specter obvious doesn't understand what's in the health care bill."
A young woman who had spoken said "The room was filled with frustration, she was nervous. It was the first time she had ever spoken at a town hall meeting. She hadn't been interested in politics until the last two years. She started to see that this country is obviously being torn apart. She didn't want to tell her children she didn't do anything to stop this massive government takeover. She was thankful that Sen. Specter had a town hall meeting and let people speak." She had been studying history and the Constitution and really presented tough questions, tearfully almost.
I'm sure you will see bits and pieces of this town hall meeting as a National Event. It was amazing!
