Dear Mr. Jackson... would you please go down to my fifth post below...

... where Robert Reich, who served under Bill Clinton as our nation's Secretary of Labor, and read his opinion about the current state of Obama's pandering to the "drug" industry? He says that this new collusion between the White House and the pharmacy industry is extortion against the American public and is actually unconstitutional in it's act of now having the White House itself becoming the lobbying arm of the pharmacy industry. He calls it a move toward destructing democracy. (Oh, by the way, Mr. Reich is a big fan of Obama and Clinton... but in his article he says that he loves democracy more... so he is not some right wing hack. It's the article right under the cartoon about the letter concerning this health care stuff.)

The White House has committed the crime you roar against here sir. You either need to wake up or have the White House vet your public statements a little more carefully.

Fear failure, not health care reform

BY JESSE JACKSON

The terrorizing has reached fever pitch. "Obama's health-care reforms will kill your grandmother," they scream. Beware government "death panels," warns Sarah Palin. There will be a "government takeover" of health care. Bureaucrats will overrule doctors. Government will get its hands on Medicare. The lies and inanities keep on coming.

Right-wing demonstrators organize to take over town-hall meetings. Republican leaders, intent on "breaking" Obama by stopping reform, repeat and abet the lies and distortions. Conservative Democrats cut backroom deals to benefit insurance companies and drug companies. This debate on health care is enough to turn your stomach.....

....Then Obama's principles hit the Congress. Washington is still dominated by corporate lobbies. The drug lobby and the insurance lobby are among the most powerful. They set about to gut the public option, weaken the regulation, insure that Medicare would be banned from negotiating lower prices on drugs, etc. They benefited from Republican obstruction of any change. That meant they had fewer legislators -- largely a handful of conservative Democrats -- to "convince." And a public to terrorize.

Mr. Jackson... you need to call your office.
