Cincinnati Tea Partiers and 9/12ers visit Senator Sherrod Brown’s office

It was high noon on Tuesday when Cincinnati Tea Partiers and 9/12ers sacrificed time away from work and went through the hassle of finding parking. The thought was that Senator Sherrod Brown might be able to hear them now. Apparently, he was still out to lunch.
Armed with letters insisting that Brown vote no on the healthcare bill, they were met by Ms. Brooke Hill, who claimed several times during the conversation that Brown is her boss. What she never seemed to grasp was that her boss’ bosses don’t want this bill. But then Brown doesn’t get that either.
Hill claimed that her boss has been on a crusade for health insurance reform for years and years. That must have been before he became a Senator since this is his first, and most likely, last term and an employee of “We the People.”
One constituent stated that, “None of the issues that need to be addressed (in relation to the healthcare bill) are even being considered.” Specific concerns that were mentioned included the fact that present bill, with its 1 trillion plus price tag, is astronomical and will never be able to be repaid. It was also brought out that the Republicans came up with a plan but that the Democrats refused to even look at it, and that smaller government is better.
Hills’s response to that was that, “People always say that small government is better until they need it,” and that, “their plan won’t take care of the problem.” Never mind that it was never even looked at.
It was also brought out that, for the most part, Republicans in congress aren’t agreeing to this plan, and the fact that it’s not bipartisan is a deep concern.
Hill’s response was, “I think that the Republicans have been the party of ‘no.’”
However, Republicans are a more accurate reflection of what Americans actually want. Rasmussen Reports and Gallop (see links below) are showing that most Americans lean toward opposing this plan. There is also a deep concern that something so costly will do more damage to an already ailing economy, and that more jobs will be lost.
Hill brought out the notion that the Democrats feel that everyone must have insurance, and that it was the government’s role to provide that.
One of the Tea Partiers replied, “One thing that people forget to consider is that we’re not, as of today, not a socialist or communist nation that has to guarantee everyone’s safeguards. As an independent society, we are not some collective commune who must guarantee everybody else’s safeguard.”
Hill’s response was, “And that’s probably where we’re going to have to agree to disagree. We’re one of the few industrialized nations that doesn’t provide healthcare as a human right.”
So she thinks we should be living in some collective commune? Scary thought! Nevertheless, funny that the same party who wants to call healthcare a ‘human right’ doesn’t want to recognize the human right of the unborn to live. But then they don’t want to recognize the human right of the elderly to live either – otherwise there wouldn’t be death panels included in the present bill. The mindset of government to supply everything from cradle to grave and support an entitlement mentality is nothing short of a Cloward and Piven Strategy to usher in socialist-communism. If “We the People” want to continue to live in a free country, as opposed to a socialist one, or worse, a communist one, we must continue to make our voices heard not only through phone calls and letters, but at the voting booth.
