In 2008 the only job the GOP thought they had was to make sure Obama did not win the Presidency. They failed. In 2012 they still thought they only had one job to do, this time it was a new job. That new job was to make President Obama a one term President. Yet again they failed. Then comes 2013 and they try a new tactic. This time the battle cry goes up to impeach Obama. Of course they haven't got a leg to stand on since President Obama has done nothing to impeach. They just don't tell they're uneducated voters that.
Besides impeachment, they still have one last trick up their collective sleeves. That one last trick is to ruin the legacy of President Obama. What is one sure way to destroy his legacy? Defund or dismantle President Obama's signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act. Some Democratic leaders have already started to give in on this subject. Don't allow that happen. The Democrat's who are starting to back down are ones who will be up for re-election in the upcoming elections. Let them know you will support them if THEY support POTUS and the ACA. Let them know that they will have people running against them in the primary and you can just as easily support another Democrat as easily as you can support them. Call them, write them, email them, Facebook them, text them, or tweet them! We have more access to our politician's than we ever in our history. Let's put that access to good use. We cannot allow millions of poor and middle class American's to remain uninsured while the wealthiest 1% have whatever insurance they need. I'm sure they even have health insurance for their pets, which is great, except when you don't even care if most American's have health insurance.
The Republican's have had plenty of time to come up with a plan for health insurance for America. Years in fact. They still have no plan. Oh yes, they do. Their plan is if you get sick, are poor and have no health insurance, go to the emergency room. Don't worry about the bill that you cannot afford. Just let the hospital handle it. The ACA is not perfect, it has some kinks to be worked out. But it is the only plan there is to provide health insurance for the millions who have no access to it. Staying healthy should be affordable for even the poorest among us. No one should ever have to go to the emergency room if they are sick or die due to a lack of economic security and lack of health insurance.
