My thought: Keep Obama and Government Control out of my health care, period. I like the fact that AMAC will actually consider the requests submitted by its members.

It's about time the Senators, and congressmen we vote in start doing their jobs of representing us and not the political machine and lobbyists, that line their pockets now...That cost of living raise they took from us this year, went as a raise to the politicians...Go Figure!!!!!
