Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh. Feel free to copy it and send it around
to your other representatives.
Stephen Fraser, M.D.
July 23, 2009
Senator Bayh,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the healthcare bill before
Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the
government's proposed involvement in the patient physician relationship. The
very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous
and certainly not helpful in designing a healthcare system that works for all.
Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our healthcare system,
but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a
disaster if passed.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following
troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that
these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow
citizens.

Senator, I guarantee that I personally will do everything possible to inform
patients and my fellow physicians about the dangers of the proposed bills you
and your colleagues are debating.
Furthermore, If you vote for a bill that enforces socialized medicine on the
country and destroys the doctor/patient relationship, I will do everything in my
power to make sure you lose your job in the next election.
Respectfully,
Stephen E Fraser MD
We will not forget those who have made so great a sacrifice our freedom...
Marines slain in the Barbary War of 1801-1805 in Tripoli and the Mediterranean. They flew this flag proudly as they waged war on Muslim pirates proudly proclaiming that America owed no tax or ransom to a foreign government for trade in open waters. The war included valiant and inventive land campaigns in Tripoli, North Africa.
Christopher Gadsden represented SC in the 2nd Continental Congress and served on the Marine Committee responsible for the organization of the first Naval Mission of the new nation.
We will endeavor to place more figures from our history who shaped, founded, and preserved our Constitutional Republic, the USA and South Carolina, colony turned state. Facts and information about these people past and present will be included.
