An Open Letter to Congressman Bart Gordon
Why Voting "No" on this Healthcare Bill is Important

Wartrace, TN - March 18, 2010 -

The Honorable Bart Gordon
2306 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington DC 20515-4206

Congressman Gordon:

I am writing you today not as a Republican candidate for the office you are vacating but as a citizen of Tennessee's 6th District. I am asking that you vote against the health care bill now before Congress. Not only is this bill too expensive but it removes control of health care from the people and their doctors and gives it to government bureaucrats.

Americans want common sense solutions to our health care concerns. We need
reforms that will lower health care cost while expanding access to quality care for the
uninsured. Above all, it must not over burden the backbone of the American economy--
small businesses, betray the seniors who rely on Medicare and we must never use tax
payer funds to pay for abortions.

Here are some things we can do to improve the best health care system in the world:

1. Let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines;

2. Allow health insurance pools to people and small businesses can get lower prices

3. Stand up for the 10th Amendment by getting out of the way and giving states the
tools to create their own innovative health care reforms;

4. Pass tort reform to help end frivolous lawsuits so doctors and health care providers
can care for patients without fear of being plagued by lawsuits that lack merit.

The whole "Obamacare" ordeal has caused Americans to completely lose respect for all
current members of Congress. The back room deals to gain support from wavering
legislators are embarrassing. The procedural trickery now being considered, the so called
"Slaughter Solution", to move this bill forward is dishonorable and a disgrace to the principles upon which our government was founded.

The people of our district and the citizens of the United States have demonstrated
repeatedly they do not want this bill. I cannot sit on the sidelines and let this debacle
pass without at least attempting to persuade you to vote against the pending health care
bill. I believe I must do everything in my power to stop one of the greatest threats to our
American way of life in decades. It is my request, and prayer, that you will vote no on
this legislation.

Sincerely,

Major General (Ret) David L. Evans

For Immediate Release:

(Wartrace, TN.) Major General and Congressional Candidate Dave Evans, Republican candidate for Congress in the 6th District is concerned about Saturday’s vote in the House, pushing forward HR3962, the Affordable Healthcare for America Act.

For Immediate Release:

(Wartrace, TN.) Major General and Congressional Candidate Dave Evans demanded that incumbent Congressman Bart Gordon be held responsible for his vote on the Cap and Tax Bill Friday that he had not even read.

"This is a clear example of dereliction of duty. Mr. Gordon needs to promise the voters that he will never again act so recklessly and vote on a bill without taking the proper time to read and review it. This isn’t party politics- it’s just flat out irresponsible," said Evans.
