Dear Rep. Neugebauer,
I’m totally OUTRAGED at Rep. Alan Grayson who spoke from the House floor and said that the Republican health care plan was simply for Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick.
His “apology” was true a non-apology...!
When Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!" The Democrats spun themselves and the media into a tizzy, demanding an apology. Wilson complied, and I believe his apology was sincere. However, they continued to press the issue, and Wilson was publically condemned.
Randy, I demand that the House censure Rep. Grayson in similar fashion to what they did to Wilson...!!!
Apologizing to the dead makes a total mockery of the concept of apologizing for a wrong.
Randy, I want you to support and PUSH Rep. Tom Price’s Resolution of Disapproval that mirrors the one Democrats approved against Wilson.
I agree with Rep. Price that Grayson’s conduct was “a breach of decorum and degraded the integrity and proceedings of the House”, but I DO NOT agree that the resolution should be withheld a little to give Grayson more time to consider an apology.
Grayson is despicable and should be disciplined immediately.

Dear Congressman Neugebauer,
I very much love reading your weekly updates.
I’m so very pleased that you have stated, "I cannot support any plan that includes a government-run option...but I do not believe bigger government and more spending is the solution."
Thank you sir.
But I must take exception to the center portion of your statement..."We can all agree there is room for improvement in our health care system..."
Randy,
The health care system here in the U.S. is WITHOUT A DOUBT the very best in the entire world...!
I have been a health care provider right here in Texas since 1980.
Randy, there is NO health care system ANYWHERE that even comes close to what we provide right here in the U.S.
Never ever do you hear of Americans traveling to Canada for health care...!
Never ever do you hear of Americans traveling to Great Britain for health care...!
Never ever do you hear of Americans traveling to France, or Cuba, or Saudi Arabia, or Sweden, or Russia for health care...!
Randy, I am sooooooooooooooooo appreciative that you have said, "as long as a plan to nationalize our healthcare system is on the table, I will vote against it".
But Randy, here’s my problem:

But Randy, here’s my problem:
- Realizing that there is NO health care system ANYWHERE that even comes close to what we provide right here in the U.S., and
- Realizing that Americans just simply don’t travel abroad for their health care...
I DO NOT agree that, "We can all agree there is room for improvement in our health care system..."
May I suggest that conservatives stop using that phrase, which has implications that are so far from the truth that are so unrealistic that it misleads the American public.
When people say that, "We can all agree there is room for improvement in our health care system..." they are misunderstanding something of critical importance...
- there is NO health care system ANYWHERE that even comes close to what we provide right here in the U.S.,and
- they are impugning the integrity of physicians like myself.
It’s not our health care system that is broken..............!
It’s ACCESS to our health care system that people are really talking about...!
We’re not really talking about the health care system itself, but some sort of reform of health insurance coverage.
Most of the current polls say that Americans are satisfied with their current health care insurance.
I know that you are NOT a liberal, but liberals like to spout things that too many conservatives tend to latch onto. For example, I don’t accept the liberal premise that our health care system is broken, and my patients throughout Abilene and all of West Texas don’t either.
Randy, please stop saying that, "We can all agree there is room for improvement in our health care system..."

Hands OFF my Health Care...!!!
Dear Senator Cornyn,
Hands OFF my health care...!!!
President Obama's health plan would put government bureaucrats in charge of my health care.
I reject his plan.
I want to make my own choice of medical professionals.
I want my doctor to decide when and what care I need, NOT a government bureaucrat.
As a health care professional here in Abilene since 1980, I know that government run health care WILL lead to rationing of care for senior citizens and long waits for treatment for everyone, just as it has in Canada.
It is time for Washington politicians to listen to the people and refuse to pass government run health care.
One size does not fit all when it comes to health care for Americans.
There is absolutely NO reason that health care reform must be railroaded through Congress this year.
Please continue to Strongly Oppose Obama and liberal democrats on this abomination called "ObamaCare".
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Albritton

Dear Senator Cornyn,
No new taxes for socialized medicine!
One of the ideas being proposed by the Senate Finance Committee is to pay for government-run health care by raising taxes on beverages. This tax scheme is a bad one, and would cost everyone that enjoys soda, sports drinks or alcoholic beverages. Raising taxes on the American people during a recession is bad policy, regardless of what the money will supposedly be spent on.
Leaders in the Senate are planning on paying for the government takeover of healthcare with massive taxes on soda and alcoholic beverages. It’s a hefty chunk of change: beer would be up 145% per six pack, the liquor tax would increase $2.54 per fifth, and the soda tax could be raised as well.
Those who want to see a Canadian-style socialized health care system have managed to sneak reconciliation language into the budget which means that Senator Reid and his allies can limit debate of this monumental decision and pass sweeping changes to our health care system with only 51 votes. That’s why every vote counts to preserve the choice and freedom we have.
This is something America just can’t afford right now – these tax hikes mean less money in our own pockets and a severe hit to the already suffering restaurant business and their employees.
I'd like to see you publicly state your opposition to the beverage tax idea.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Albritton

Patriotic to pay more taxes...???
Dear President Obama,
Vice President Joe Biden said during the 2008 campaign that it is patriotic for Americans to pay more in taxes.
Since taking over control of Washington, the Democrats have decided we should all be more "patriotic" having passed or proposed more than $5 trillion in new spending and $1.4 trillion in new taxes.
And I do not approve of the $1.4 trillion in new taxes, $636 billion in higher energy taxes, the staggering redistribution of wealth and wasteful spending you are prescribing as a cure for the economic crisis.
To hold the Democrats in Washington accountable for their record tax, spend and borrow schemes, I am sending a virtual tea bag to protest your plans to raise taxes on every American this Tax Day.

Dr. Chris Albritton

Immigration increases the US unemployment rate
Dear Representative Neugebauer,
I am sure you were as appalled as I was when you saw the unemployment figures for March. It is truly demoralizing that so many Americans are unemployed. Given that so many Americans are out of work, don't you think Congress should reexamine America's excessive immigration policies?
The United States admits 138,000 foreign workers each month. The vast majority of these foreign workers do not possess extraordinary talents or skills. Americans would gladly work the jobs filled by foreign workers if given the opportunity.
While 13.2 million Americans sit unemployed, 7.7 million illegal alien workers have jobs to which they are not entitled. I find it appalling that Congress has allowed this injustice to occur. If our nation's immigration laws were enforced, then America would have millions fewer unemployed workers.
I urge you to right this tremendous wrong by working to reform America's ineffective and wasteful immigration system. Please work to halt most forms of immigration so that unemployed Americans have a decent chance of finding a job.
Thank you,
Dr. Chris Albritton

Obama's MASSIVE Budget
Dear Senator Cornyn,
I urge you to reject President Obama's budget, which taxes and spends at a rate that Americans like me today, and my children and grandchildren tomorrow, simply cannot afford.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has predicted that the Obama budget would push the federal deficit to a mind-numbing $1.85 trillion this year and pile up $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, on top of the existing $11 trillion national debt. CBO called these deficits "unsustainable."
What's more, the President's budget would impose a whole host of new and higher taxes just as our economy is struggling to emerge from its current recession. The $636 billion income tax increase on individuals and small businesses would discourage entrepreneurship and stifle job creation. The plan for a cap-and-trade energy system would raise the costs of electricity, gasoline, and other products and services that I purchase. I've seen estimates that this so-called "light bulb tax" could cost American families as much as $3,100 annually!
I also understand that the House and Senate leadership are considering a parliamentary maneuver, called "budget reconciliation," to stifle debate on the President's budget and ram through its controversial policies on energy and nationalized healthcare. Such far-reaching changes to our economy and society merit time for careful debate and consideration, not only within the halls of Congress but also among Americans like me. I urge you to oppose any such anti-democratic maneuver.
We cannot continue on our current course of taxing, borrowing, and
spending. America needs a budget that cuts spending, promotes fiscal
responsibility, and encourages economic growth. President Obama's budget advances none of these goals.
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Albritton

Letter to Congressman Randy Neugebauer on the FairTax Issue:
Dear Randy,
Please support Iowa Congressman Steve King in his "Special Order" on the House floor on Tuesday March 17, as he talks about the FairTax. I encourage you to join him on the House floor.
We all know that President Obama plans to increase our taxes, and the Congressman and other members will be contrasting these planned tax hikes with the FairTax and all it can do to stimulate our economy.
Thank you for your previous support of H.R. 25, the FairTax bill.
Please join Congressman King on the floor tomorrow night in support of the FairTax during this highly-visible floor session.
Randy, I sincerely appreciate all that you do in support of conservative ideology for the Abilene area.
Gratefully,
Dr. Chris Albritton Abilene, TX

Call Congress back into Emergency Session
Dear Senator Cornyn,
I’m absolutely LIVID with Speaker Pelosi for adjourning Congress without addressing America’s energy needs.
And I’m sorely disappointed that the Whitehouse has refused to call Congress back into session, saying it "won't make a difference." Down here in Abilene, we say that is the wrong decision.
As I understand it, the president can declare that Congress must sit for an emergency session. I understand he cannot set the agenda – BUT……President Bush can set the agenda in the minds of the American people.
If President Bush would simply address the American people and tell them that he is bringing Congress back into session to address the country's energy problems, then we the people can demand that Pelosi set the agenda to address the need for domestic drilling.
If we can’t get the President to re-call Congress to a special session, then I urge you to support the Rebublican initiative to shut down the government when Congress returns from its five-week summer break in early September.
I’d like to see you vote against a resolution to fund the federal government for the 2009 fiscal year unless Democrats agree to lift an offshore drilling moratorium. If the budget resolution fails, many agencies and departments would be denied money to operate and would be forced to close.
Addressing domestic oil production is important to the American people for supply and security reasons. It’s time for Republicans to step up to the plate and play hard ball.

Disgust with Speaker Pelosi
I’m absolutely disgusted with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...!
I’m referring to what she told CNN that she would block any vote to allow offshore drilling.
How dare her to be so blatantly arrogant to say that "she will not allow additional reserves to be drilled because oil companies already hold leases on 68 million acres of federal land that are not being drilled".
Is she just totally oblivious of the recent Congressional testimony of oil company representatives who told us that IF they had found oil under these lands, they would be already be pumping it ?
She really NEEDS to understand that the oil companies need to drill where the oil is.
Known reserves offshore, in Alaska, the Bakken fields of North Dakota and Montana, and elsewhere, can meet the energy demand for at least 100 years.
Americans need to ask, "Why is it that Pelosi and her colleagues don't want this oil produced?"
Instead, she says the president should release 70 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves, which would provide immediate price relief.
This alternative would supply less than four days of the U.S. demand, and this wouldn’t change the pump price of gasoline even a tenth of a cent. This silly proposal would do NOTHING to increase the supply of oil and decrease the amount we need to import.
With thinking like this from our Congressional leaders, it’s no wonder why Congress’s approval rating is only 14%.
