The Clock is Ticking: Will Ed Perlmutter Fulfill his Obligation to the 7th District?
November 5, 2009 - With little more than 36 hours remaining until the Pelosi Healthcare Bill is scheduled for a vote, it appears that the Democratic Congress’ trend of refusing to listen to American voices will continue. Despite a chorus of oppositions from Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs, Congress will vote tomorrow to bring government run healthcare to an unwilling nation. Amidst allegations that many in Congress did not read the former healthcare bill, H.R. 3200, Ryan Frazier believes Coloradans deserve better from the officials that represent them. “I believe that our representatives are answerable to the voters, not the other way around. However, lately Democrats in Congress are arrogantly stepping over the will of the people and have shirked the basic responsibility of listening to their constituents. Ed Perlmutter should fulfill the basic minimum requirement of his office and read the 1,990 page bill that proposes to force onerous regulation and additional taxes upon Coloradans. The citizens of the 7th District deserve better.”
The question remains if Congress will have time to read the gargantuan bill in the next 36 hours. At 1990 pages, Congressman Perlmutter will need to read roughly one page a minute until the time of the vote to get through it all. We hope he’s got a fresh pot of coffee brewing.
