Dear Congressman Hoyer…
Brent Powell, who has attended several of our Tea Party functions, shared this letter which he has sent to Congressman Steny Hoyer, Majority Leader of the US House Of Representatives. Brent voices many of the concerns that we share about the size and scope of our federal government.
Honorable Steny Hoyer,
The actions of the Speaker of the House are inconsistent with the wishes of the American people. I am asking you as an American to formally request that the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi step down as Speaker. I am requesting this because Americans have given the Congress plenty of signs that the current path toward federal government takeover of health care is not what this country elected her or you to bring to fruition.
The elections of Scott Brown in MA, Governor Bob McDonnell in VA and Governor Chris Christie in NJ should be enough to show her to slow down or stop health care take over. Since this is not enough to show the Democratic Majority that Health care is not a major concern to the people that elected you to the House, here is more. According to Gallup, 55% of Americans say that both Congress and the President should suspend work on the health care bill. Before the election of Senator Scott Brown in December, the Gallup poll said 48% oppose the Health-care bill. Yet in January after the election of Scott Brown and others, Madame Speaker said this about health-care “We will get the job done. I am confident of that. I have always been confident of that.”
I believe Speaker Pelosi is out of touch with the American people. Senator Jim Webb, a Democrat in VA, said “In many ways the campaign in Massachusetts became a referendum not only on health care reform but also on the openness and integrity of our government process.” Also Senator Ben Nelson said, “Both sides need to sit down and work together. They haven’t because they didn’t think they had to. Now they have to.” Even with all of this evidence your elected leader is continuing with a health-care bill.
Again, this is a formal request from an American. Please request that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi step down because of the above evidence.
Thank you for your time. God Bless you and God Bless America!
Sincerely,
Brent J Powell
Roanoke, VA 24018
