Dear Friends,
Did you read the op-ed in USA Today earlier this week by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer? In case you haven’t, here are their words: "These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views--but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American."
Honestly, I’ve read it over and over and still can’t believe my eyes! As our nation debates likely one of the most important issues of our time, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer (I’ll bet, with encouragement from the Obama Administration) are calling voters who voice their opinion “un-American.” Personally, I strongly believe that attending town hall meetings and stating your case is exactly what makes our nation so strong. Taking an active role in our government and standing up for what you believe in should be encouraged, not squashed!
As elected Leaders of our Congress, Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer are charged with engaging voters in the process. To discourage anyone from participating -- whether they are Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or Independents -- is simply wrong. Both Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer ought to do what they were elected to do … listen to the American people. And I strongly believe that their next op-ed should be an apology!
If you agree with me, I urge you to sign my petition today.
Sincerely,
