,(http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/) was cloakedin what seems to some, myself included, doublespeak, and to my mind thisappeal carries the implication that the White House wants to capture thenames of opponents, which has a potentially chilling effect on opendebate.As part of this appeal, you tell your readers, basically, that people who areciting video of yourself calling for a single payer system and detailing anincrementalist approach ‘liars’, something that is both impolite and, frankly, juvenile and beneath contempt. Those statements were made by you, Mr.President. If indeed you are opposed to a single payer plan and havechanged your mind, it is useful to you, and citizens who may even supportyou but for this perception, to clear this matter up rather than blamingothers for a reasonable and logical assumption based on what youactually said.Mr. President, facts ARE stubborn things and unless or until you publiclydisavow a single payer system and actually ANNOUNCE and put in printYOUR health care proposal, it is only reasonable to think that all thosethings you have said are still on the table and part of your overall plan. If,however, you want a single payer system, please tell us and put in writingwhat your plan is so that we can have a civil discourse.Mr. President, are you willing to state what your plan is then publiclydisavow any plan that involves single payer plans in any fashion?Further, Mr. President, would you be willing to solemnly swear that theminute you propose or even SIGN any bill that includes a single player plan or a precursor thereto that you will resign your office? Are you willing,sir, to resign your office if the implementation of your plan results inanything more than a 10% decrease in the number of people enrolled inprivate plans within 4 years after whatever bill is passed?Please be advised, Mr. President, I will not be monitored: I oppose whatsome refer to as ‘Obamacare’ on the basis of my conviction that theFederal Power has no business sticking its nose in such things, a point of view that I sincerely believe is consistent with the original intent of our Founders. I respect that you feel differently and read that differently, but todismiss our point of view with juvenile and petty name-calling that is clearlybeneath contempt and that is simply not professional is a reflection on thecontent of your character that will not turn Americans against those whooppose state-run or regulated and managed health care by ANY name.I am NOT afraid to stand up for my convictions, I respect you and your office, and I rightfully and justly demand that you and your staff respect meand my office, the office of “elector”, one of your 300 million “bosses”.I respectfully request that you stop asking people to become informants,please spend a few minutes and re-read your constitution which you sworeto uphold, and which is a condition of your tenure which must be adheredto.I am enclosing a copy of this email to my member of Congress, mySenators, and my Governor as well as any local media and asking them toinvestigate WHY the White House is trying to capture names of opponentsand asking people to inform on opponents.If your office is seeking to obtain names of people who oppose your planand to engage other Americans as informants or agents I would, and I amsure many others would, consider this to be a SERIOUS offense againstthe Bill of Rights if indeed your objective here is to do this, so, with this inmind, sir, please cease and desist and respect even those who opposeyou in a civil and fair manner.I pray that this communication is seen as a friendly appeal for a quick andamicable resolution of my concerns or, at worse, a friendly rebuke, if youwill, due to what is clearly impolite behavior that is beneath of the dignity of the Presidency or the White House.May you continue to be in good health and good spirits as you lead our free nation of free and sovereign citizens who wish you, and America,Godspeed within the reasonable constraints of liberty, justice, and our Constitution.Yours in service to the Republic,Bill Collier,By the Grace of God, Citizen and Elector, The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, The United States of AmericaMarysville PAPS I have BCC’d this to other individuals and hope that they, too, stand upby name and without fear, knowing that your White House, Mr. President,would never seek to in any way censure or persecute in any manner any
