The names have been changed. The stories are true.

"Yay," said my friend Suzy, after hearing the mid-term results. "Small government is good!"
Suzy has no health insurance.

"Yippee," said my friend Paul. "We're taking our country back!"
Paul has been told by his employer that he has 60 days to turn his job performance around. If he loses his job he will have no health insurance. He had a stroke a few years ago, so if he needs to buy insurance on his own, it will be exorbitantly expensive. Good luck, buddy.

"Way to go," said my friend Michael. "Get the government out of my life!"
Michael enjoys Social Security, Medicare, and a generous union pension.

"Excellent," said my friend Josh. "I voted for my values!"
Josh is a generous guy who would give a poor person a hand, a dollar, a ride to work. But for some reason he doesn't want his government to do the same.

"Way to go," said my friend George on his facebook page, where he has nearly 1,700 'friends.' "Let's start a letter writing campaign to remind our elected officials that they need to repeal Obamacare, seriously consider the impeachment of the sitting president, and start listening to 'We the people.'"
George is an evangelical pastor.

7. wow, thanks for the party with the dancing frogs!

LOL

Maybe I will mail it to the newspaper ... but maybe my friends would recognize themselves ... but maybe that wouldn't be all bad.

8. I hope you took it as the compliment it was intended!

I understand about risking with your friends... only you can make that decision.

However, what you wrote was very to the point, and very thought-provoking.

It deserves to be read!

5. I find it mindboggling how many people think impeachment is a viable option simply...

when you disagree with someone in office.
