Just so people know, we had one of our Mississippi reps vote Yes for this bill.

Just above the Republican/Democrat break down of the vote numbers, click on the "vote totals" section "by state".
Bennie Thompson voted yes.

I have already sent my contact e-mail to him. I doubt it will do any good at all since it will most likely be deleted long before he ever has even the smallest chance to hear about it. But I will share it with you all.

My e-mail:
It disgusts me to see an elected representative that does not vote the way the people he is supposed to represent wants him to vote. I am extremely disappointed to see the way you voted on the health reform bill. It is NOT supported by the majority of people in Mississippi and we have all been VERY vocal about our lack of support. I am disgusted that you decided to go with your own agenda and against those that elected you in hopes of fair representation. It is supposed to be a Government of the People, By The People, For The People. Not for the single person that was elected to vote in the voter's preference. I will be sure to share your choice of voting with all my friends state wide and we will be sure to spread your choice of going against the majority of Mississippian's choice so you can further your own agenda.

Sincerely disappointed,

Will he ever see it? Probably not, but you never know who will. They might say "hey...uh...you ticked off a bunch of people with that vote." My hope would be he would recognize his ignorance and educate himself on how much this bill will hurt the vast majority of people.


Edit Note: Just in case someone doesn't know, Bennie Thompson is the Congressional Rep for MS Dis 2.

We went to the Tea Party in Brandon tonight. It was very uplifting to what happened Saturday night, which was a horrible day for all Americans. Mainly those who have no clue what their paychecks will look like starting January of 2010. And those that think "well, I dont want it so I'm not doing it" Well, you really have no choice, unless you want to spend 5 years in prison. Two things that were discussed have stuck with me. !. Everyone that voted yes, will get voted out PERIOD. We have to be loud and consistent, not letting anyone in this Nation forget who they are and what they did to this country. 2. Haley Barbour is a awesome Governor. He is in a very tough spot. His choices are: raise our taxes even more, which the Government is going to tax most of us about 17% anyway, or he will have to fire teachers, firemen, and police officers just to keep the people of this state afloat. More people need to stand up for what is right for this country, because if we all remain silent it is only going to get worse. Cap and Trade is next, which will destroy the small business that are left standing after this power take by the government. If this Health bill passes the Senate, our Government will have 48% control over free enterprise. That puts us closer to a Socialist country. That is a very, very bad thing. Most of you were taught how bad it is and that it leads to communism. The kids are now being taught that it is a good thing and leads to Utopia of the Government. If you do not believe that go ask high school kids what socialism is . Those of us who are screaming at the top of our lungs can not do it alone anymore. We are being compared to furniture. Literally. I personally am scared to death. Thank you Wilier for posting this. I will also send that dumb butt an e-mail. A 17 year old spoke tonight and she said "You can not have my piece of Pie!" I feel the same way. I have worked to hard for my piece so go and get your own!!!

My email I just sent him.

What were you thinking last night? Have you told your children and your grandchildren sorry yet for the debt you have helped put on their shoulders?
It is common knowledge that the majority people in this state are against this 2000 page load of CONTROL. You are suppose to represent us and speak for us. You were elected into office based on your word and your belief in the constitution! First words are FOR THE PEOPLE!!! It does not say FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!! You owe this state an apology and a reason for your betrayal.
