Thank Rep. Ryan for Opposing the Health Care Bill

Thank Rep. Ryan for voting against

government run health care



Last night, the House voted to approve one of the worst pieces of legislation in a generation.

But Rep. Ryan stood strong and voted against this deeply flawed bill.

In the face of political maneuvering and back room dealing, your Representative did the right thing. They represented the needs and voices of FRANKLIN and opposed health care that now threatens our businesses and families.

It's not easy to stand up in the face such pressure, including a leadership and administration that's willing to steamroll you and your constituents to get the job done.

But that is exactly what Rep. Ryan did. Send a letter thanking them now.

I'd also like to thank you, Kevin.

Thank you for adding your voice. You made a statement that will now be carried into the elections to support those who did the right thing, and hold others accountable.

Despite this Washington power grab, Americans will not be fooled. The only thing bipartisan about this bill is its opposition.

We didn't have the votes to defeat the health care boondoggle in Congress, but you have the votes in November.

This fight is far from over.

Sincerely,


Bill Miller
Senior Vice President and National Political Director
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
