Listen to the average joes

Thank God for the representatives who listen to the everyday "Joe" and voted for H.R. 3962. Too long we have been in the stranglehold of the insurance industry. We try to form groups to lower our cost so that we may provide for our families and our employees, only to be beaten back and told that we cannot do this, that we must conform to what is allowed by the insurance companies.

Should there be any doubt in the minds of the representatives who did not vote in favor of bill - be aware! You have one last opportunity to step to the plate and support the reform the American people need and deserve! Pull your heads out of the sand and put yourselves in our shoes. We implore you to consider us - the people who have our hands tied and cannot get affordable health insurance and/or cannot change coverage due to pre-exisitng conditions!

Wake up! Watch what happens at election time ...
