An Open Letter to Our Representatives...

The following letter was written by one of our readers to her congressman.

I was one of the unfortunate ones stranded at the Newark airport for hours yesterday. The abysmal state of ouir TSA system is a topic for another day, though. I wanted to tell you about Charles and Hazel From England. I met them during our exile outside security. They are an active couple in their 80s visiting family in the states. Hazel told me she got her swine flu vaccination while here because she could not get one in Britain. An 80-something woman who did not qualify. Yet here she paid $10 at a clinic and received one right away.Please don't jeopardize the greatest healthcare in the world by injecting more beuracracy. Sure there are problems, but none of them are solved by the legislation before Congress today. Your mantra of "doing something" even if it's not right is illogical and foolhardy. Vote no. Do what's best for Tennessee and the nation. Vote no.
