Writing to my elected officials.. b/c It's all too costly...

First up...

Dear Governor Huntsman,

I would like you to reconsider Utah's participation in the Western Climate Initiative. According to the recent studies put out by the Beacon Hill Institute and the Western Business Roundtable a Western carbon cap-and-trade scheme would destroy thousands of jobs, and erode millions of dollars for people in Utah (that doesn't even include all the damage that would be done to other Western States). Being a part of WCI should end now!! Come on Governor, do your homework before tying your state to such costly measures.

Sincerely,
Lisa Johnson
(i'm glad you are only a two term man)

Dear Senator Hatch,

After reading the article below and hearing what the Belgium President had to say about Socialized Healthcare I am reaching out to you to tell you of my concerns over the matter. I know that President Obama is not only considering it but he wants to move the United States of America over to universal healthcare. I believe that this is wrong and is not what the Free World needs. Please block all forms of Socialized Healthcare.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Johnson

Note:
The Belgium President said on Glenn Beck today when asked what should the U.S. never do... he replied change to Socialized Healthcare.. saying that the patient should ALWAYS be in the drivers seat.

The article I read today in the New York Post suggests that actress Natasha Richardson may have survived her ski accident if she had been in the U.S. because of the lack of healthcare technology in Canada.
