Indiana Congressman supports the public option... Sarah Palin orders the death panels to attack

In local Jeffersonville, IN news a Democratic congressman has taken a brave stand to support his constituent's right to live :

LETTERS: Reader thanks Baron Hill for his stand on health care

I want to say how much I appreciate Congressman Baron Hill courageously standing up for Indiana's middle class families right to affordable healthcare.

We have seen medical insurance/health care cost skyrocket, and the worst thing we could do for our grandchildren would be to saddle them with the expense of leaving things as they have been. We know it doesn't work.

It would have been so easy to "play it safe" and just do nothing. Instead of voting no, as every Indiana Republican voted, Congressman Hill got us a bill that provides a public option to provide money saving competition, and improves the exemption for small businesses.

No one claims perfection, but at least we may not have to wait another 30 years to get the special interest groups under control, so our companies can compete in the world economy, and we can get healthcare for most of our citizens. We need a representative strong enough to act to resolve our problems and this is just what Congressman Baron Hill has done for Southern Indiana.

Thank you, Baron, and keep up the good work.

Since no one cares what the people in Indiana think I'm sure no one has read this. However, if they have I expect a full attack on Rep. Hill during the next election by his eternal right wing opponent Mike Sodrel.
