Unfortunately for me, I am represented by a democrat in the House of Representatives. However, because of that I just sent him the following note on his "contact me" page:
"I am appalled that the leaders of the Democratic Party in the House of
Representatives, Nancy Pelosi and Sten Hoyer, would brand opponents of
the proposed health care plan (which they haven't read) as
"unamerican". As they are leaders of your party, they usually speak for
your party, so I want to know if you agree with this assessment. If
not, when will you publicly repudiate them? If you remain silent, I
have to conclude that you agree with them, as they are your party
leaders."
I think that is a fair question, especially since Republicans are told to repudiate anybody to the right who says anything questionable. In this case it is the elected leaders of the democrats. I encourage everybody who is represented in the House by a dem to demand they repudiate these two "leaders" or you will consider them in agreement.
