Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer wrote in a USA today article that anyone who not only opposed this healthcare monstrosity but also attended town hall meetings and voiced their opposition to the bill, were "un-American".
Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Hoyer...since no politician of either party has enough courage to speak out in defense of the American people, I will do it for you.
Americans who attend these town hall meetings and voice their concerns about your healthcare bill are NOT "un-American". If anything, these people represent what makes America the greatest nation ever created...and that is their rights, under the First Amendment of the Constitution, to have the Freedom to speak and to assemble peacefully. And, with the exception of SEIU members, they have gathered peacefully. In my mind, nothing is more American than dissent...and it should be your responsibility as someone elected to represent to people, to LISTEN to what Americans are saying.
Congressman Hoyer and Speaker Pelosi, this is not the first disparaging remark you have made about the American people. I demand an apology and if you continue to call Americans who disagree with you "anti-American", then it is you who need to be removed from office!
