Weekly Republican Address

Right now on Capitol Hill, Harry Reid and his liberal cohorts are locked behind closed doors working on their government-run health care experiment, which the American people have made clear they don't support. However, the Democrats are simply not listening.

The American people support common-sense incremental reforms that will make health care more affordable and accessible, and will protect the doctor-patient relationship without adding to the national deficit.  But Democrats aren't interested in that kind of reform.  President Obama and Congressional Democrats support a government-run health care system that raises premiums, increases taxes, and cuts Medicare.

You can stop this bill if you take action today.  I am personally asking you to call, e-mail, or write your Senators TODAY and tell them to vote against this liberal bill, listen to the American people, and put their full focus on creating jobs and stimulating the economy.

Sincerely,

The Honorable John Thune of South Dakota
