 PLOUFFE, GIBBS & AXELROD --
I understand what is, as well as what isn’t in the long awaited Health Care bill voted on in Congress this Christmas Eve, and I support the President completely.
I’m writing for those who aren't as fortunate as we, because what’s left of the President’s desire for Health Care Reform after "the good, bad and ugly" Congress has inflicted upon it, is still a wonderful step forward, at long last, but your one sided communications fall far too short of what the public needs to hear to enthusiastically support it. In short, the Republicans are winning the Info/PR war.
"We the People" need to hear from you that you have heard us. So make your various websites more interactively user friendly. There needs to be back & forth exchange before you can call it a conversation with America or "Change." While Americans are not as dumb as Republicans think, many are not quite as sophisticated as the President, and you guys need some On Camera work at communicating his great ideas, to achieve a greater majority.
As senior White House Staff, you need to understand that although Health Care Reform will favorably impact on our overall National economy eventually, every moment of every day and around most family dinner tables, “We the People” are focused on what is impacting negatively on their daily personal economy – an impact that far too often has resulted, not from anything they have done, but what was done to them by their own Bush League government and Banking institutions. Just one example: loans can only be made to people with jobs and a good credit rating, but after Banks without warning lowered credit lines and raised interest rates on credit cards and other sources of buying power for the general public, “We the People” were left with plummeting credit scores. Thus they can’t get the loans the President is asking Banks to make, especially if they find themselves suddenly unemployed or even under employed.
Now having had one Emperor "W" with a "Bismarck" Dick sidekick, most Americans are not asking the President to be a Dictator, but perhaps a little bit of an FDR wouldn't hurt. While I applaud the President's courageous efforts to reunite our country with Bipartisanship, the reality is, some very greedy Republicans and Bank Board Members got us, the USA and now the President into this financial funk, and they care very little about him or the Hopes & Dreams of Americans.
So please Mr. President, Stop Asking and Start Telling: Real Health Care Reform requires more than 60 votes in Congress. It requires Health Care Reform in our National MIND-SET: YES, both eating habits of a fast food nation and Fast Food Corporations must share in responsibility for our National Obesity; YES, Healthy Reform in Public Education is as necessary to the development of our youth, as are more healthy items on the school lunch menu, for an educated mind is a most valuable asset to any Nation; YES, Healthy Campaign Finance Reform would lead the way to lucrative health in any National Budget for Preventive Care, for bridges, schools, Community Centers and fewer foreclosures. For the best of Health, invest more in Peace and less in war. This is the Truth about America that will set us free from The Takers. Then again we will be “Sweet Land of Liberty.”
This is the America I remember in my dreams and it is “…of thee I sing:” “Let Freedom Ring!”
