I sent this letter to Obama today - I couldn't believe Massachusetts betrayed their liberal roots this week!

Dear President Obama,

I believe it is time for you to hold a press conference, once again telling Americans it is not ok for Republicans to lie to the people - this time about health care. The fact that Brown won a Massachusetts Senate seat is extremely shocking to me, and shows me how easily ordinary Americans believe fearmongering without any facts.

overhauling the existing system. This needs to be made crystal clear. You must speak to the American people - chiding them for listening to outright lies and fearmongering. We need to be held accountable for our decisions, not just the politicians. We need to hear from you that we need to do better, educate ourselves to be better citizens, and not act on fear but make responsible, informed decisions. You need to challenge us to live up to the founding fathers wishes - they were extremely intelligent people. They would be disgusted with how irresponsible our citizenry has become.

Please - hold a press conference soon. There is no time to waste.

With utmost respect,
