Rebloged from: My American Experience
This post was written by my dad, Jon Reed. He's new to the blog world but he's a really great writer. He loves to write, and I got my love for writing and whatever skills I have from him. Stop by and give this new blogger a couple page views. So here's a shout out to my dad! Way to get into technology.
Genre: Life Experience and Politics
Quick Bio: Jon and his wife Elizabeth are from northeast Arkansas. Together they have 6 children and 3 grandchildren. Jon is a retired carpenter, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts. Because he's my dad, I think he's awesome. I hope you do to!
Mr. Obama,
I have spent most of my life living well below the poverty level, and I have always been frustrated with the level of government dependency that poverty often entails. You offered a promise to Americans that was clearly intended to make them believe they would be able to keep their personal independence under your new health care law. You promised that they could keep their health care plans and their doctors "Period." But you lied, and now you offer us a hollow apology for that lie and you promise to vastly expand government dependency to a much larger segment of the middle class--in the form of subsidies. It has been one of my long cherished goals to free myself from dependency on the liberal "safety net" and now you expect me to thank you for moving that goal further beyond my reach! I am tired of being trapped in your liberal ideal. The soft slavery of government dependency is not liberty! I would be more than happy to assume the risks of liberty, but your obvious determination to expand government dependency until it secures your political allies a permanent hold on our nation is more than I can stand. This poor American is ready for liberty and personal independence! Mr. Obama, stop strangling opportunity with the chords of federal regulation. Stop placing the chains of dependency on more and more Americans. I have one message for you and your Progressive friends. "Let my people go!"
