I received the following “personal” email from Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).
Ken —
I wanted to take just a moment of your time to provide an update on my efforts to improve the Senate health care reform bill.
I led 10 other Senate freshmen on Tuesday in announcing a package of amendments which will we believe will encourage a broader — and quicker — shift toward a more innovative, 21st Century health care system.
[couple of paragraphs of talking points]
I was elected to bring common-sense reforms to government. I will only support a final bill if I am convinced it will lower the deficit, drive down health care costs over the long term, and improve the value and quality of the health care Virginians receive.
Thanks,
Mark Warner
Since I don’t think he reads my emails to him, I thought I’d give you a peek at my reply.
Mark —
I have 3 questions for you:
(1) When you ran a company, did you run debt ratios comparable to those you’re now foisting on American taxpayers?
(2) Aren’t you supposed to be representing the people of Virginia?
According to the most recent Rasmussen survey, 54% of Virginians oppose the health care plan proposed by the president and congressional Democrats … 85% of them (46% of the total) strongly oppose the proposed healthcare plan.
(3) Do you think the 28% of Virginians who strongly favor the proposed health care proposal will be enough to re-elect you?
Please stop voting like a lemming and keep your commitment to bring “common-sense reforms to government”.
Thanks,
Ken Homa
I’ll keep you in the loop when “Mark” replies.

A new Rasmussen Reports survey of Virginia voters finds that 54% oppose the health care plan proposed by the president and congressional Democrats … 85% of them (46% of the total) strongly oppose the proposed healthcare plan.
Forty-five percent (45%) favor the plan … only about 1 in 4 people in the total sample strongly favor the plan.
