Did you get an email from Obama today?

It wants me to add my name as an honorary cosponsor of the new health care reform bill. There is not a place to add a written comment, so I would like to add it here.

I don't think this is a very good idea, Mr. President.

Star for you!

I hope I don't get one. I prefer not to get one. And no I don't agree with this bill.

I'd like to see a screen shot or a copy and paste of this email.

Paul --

I'm writing to you on a great day for America.

This morning, I gathered with members of Congress, my administration, and hardworking volunteers from every part of the country to sign comprehensive health care reform into law. Thanks to the immeasurable efforts of so many, the dream of reform is now a reality.

The bill I just signed puts Americans in charge of our own health care by enacting three key changes:

It establishes the toughest patient protections in history.

It guarantees all Americans affordable health insurance options, extending coverage to 32 million who are currently uninsured.

And it reduces the cost of care -- cutting over 1 trillion dollars from the federal deficit over the next two decades.

To ensure a successful, stable transition, many of these changes will phase into full effect over the next several years.

But for millions of Americans, many of the benefits of reform will begin this year -- some even taking effect this afternoon. Here are just a few examples:

Small businesses will receive significant tax cuts, this year, to help them afford health coverage for all their employees.

Seniors will receive a rebate to reduce drug costs not yet covered under Medicare.

Young people will be allowed coverage under their parents' plan until the age of 26.

Early retirees will receive help to reduce premium costs.

Children will be protected against discrimination on the basis of medical history.

Uninsured Americans with pre-existing conditions can join a special high-risk pool to get the coverage they need, starting in just 90 days.

Insured Americans will be protected from seeing their insurance revoked when they get sick, or facing restrictive annual limits on the care they receive.

All Americans will benefit from significant new investments to train primary care doctors, nurses, and public health professionals, and the creation of state-level consumer assistance programs to help all patients understand and defend our new rights.

As I've said many times, and as I know to be true, this astounding victory could not have been achieved without your tireless efforts.

So as we celebrate this great day, I want to invite you to add your name where it belongs: alongside mine as a co-signer of this historic legislation. Organizing for America will record the names of co-signers as a permanent commemoration of those who came together to make this moment possible -- all of you who refused to give up until the dream of many generations for affordable, quality care for all Americans was finally fulfilled.

So if you haven't yet, please add your name as a proud health care reform co-signer today:

Please accept my thanks for your voice, for your courage, and for your indispensable partnership in the great work of creating change.

History, and I, are in your debt.

President Barack Obama

Obama is going to be very busy in the coming months trying to sell this lemon to the American people who voted for him. I hope he has some time to campaign for the mid-termers. They will need all the help they can get in November.

I didn't vote for him.

I never supported this bill in any way.

Thank you that was very weird. A president takes a personal interest in spamming emails. I wonder, are you legally obligated to reply? Will you be fined if you refuse to co-sponsor? Tasteless jokes I know, all the same, I wonder.

Thanks for sharing the letter.

I am not a democrat. I suppose thats why I did not get one.

I got that letter too. I signed up for Democrats.org when they were attempting to impeach Bush, now I get all their spam.

I suspect that I did not get one since I am a registered Republican but my wife is a Democrat and she did not get the letter either.

They must have sent a lot of them out. I don't always have poor remarks for our leadership. On one post concerning Obama's smoking I recommended NAS Original Blend and Bali Shag as tobaccos, and I believe ZigZag White rolling papers.


I saw him drinking Bud Light on TV. Is that what Biden drinks?

No.

After reading that much of the stuff is written by others than himself I blocked all whitehouse.gov mails.

I got this email today, too. I remember once I signed something at Obama.com. In place of my name I typed in I Want My Vote Back.

So my email today starts out............

"I Want --

I'm writing to you on a great day for America."

Did you receive this email via a private email address, or a public email address i.e hotmail, gmail...etc?

Don't ever take anything you get by email serious because it's probably some spammer trying to steal your password.

The message came over yahoo mail. I guess it's just govt. spam.

Well, one thing needs to be clarified. This bill would not establish a national healthcare system like you have. All this bill really does is force citizens to buy insurance from the private insurance industry or face a government fine if they fail to do so.

Most of us that are opposed feel that it basically amounts to a yearly membership fee for being an American citizen, with the check payable to your insurance company.

There was a guy on Alex Jones' show a few days ago from England. He sure didn't have anything good to say about health care in England. So much that Alex was reduced to a "straight man".

Kinda like when Steve Quayle shows up on the show.

If you invite someone into your house and they steal from you, would you invite them back? The American public are at the breaking point with their tolerance for crappy, lying, deal making, bribe taking leadership.

No, I sure did not get an email from the White House though I have corresponded with the White House in months past regarding my displeasure with the Healthcare Bill.

Thankfully they did not add insult to injury by sending me one.
