Do You Want Healthy Americans?

Many people think that 1 of the reasons Obama was able to capture the attention, raise the funds and get elected president is because he redefined American politics with his new approach to reach the dissatisfied masses. He knew what people were unhappy about. He knew he needed a slogan. He knew he needed to have a powerful and attractive campaign. And most importantly he knew he could get his messages to the people quickly and inexpensively through the use of the internet and the big social media sites.

It's been almost 6 months since our president has been inaugurated and we've gotten exactly what he promised so far. He said things would get worse before they would get better and ... they have. However I still have some hope.

Unfortunately we all know that hoping for something doesn't make it happen, That's why I'm starting this blog and have set up a Twitter group. I'd like everyone who is like me and thinks affordable quality health care should be available to every American to let their voices be heard once again.

Now unlike Obama I don't have the dollars to spend to hire people to do all the things he did and I'm not asking for money. Instead I'm asking for something much more important.

I'm asking you to join with me on this blog and in my Twitter group and to spread the word so others will join. I'm also asking that you take the polls and sign the electronic petition so we can show our country's leaders that a large number of people haven't forgotten the campaign promise of affordable quality health care and aren't willing to accept it as another broken promise like we have done in the past.

Remember last November when we voiced our desire to see many changes in how our country does things. We voted against mud slinging. We voted against jobs going overseas. We voted against corporations cheating their employees of their retirement savings and jobs while paying huge bonuses to the ones doing the cheating. We voted against the policies keeping America on a downward spiral. And we voted against a health care system that doesn't work for the majority of Americans.

Now it's time to once again voice our concerns about the broken and unfair health care system in our country. It's time we let our policy makers know that we are still here and watching them. It's time to tell them we need a new health care system because a band-aid won't fix the broken one we have now.

So please join with me and voice your concerns about the problems with our health care system in a comment. Follow me on Twitter and tell your followers to do the same. Only by working and sharing together can we make a difference.

Will you join me?
