Dear Mister President

Dear Mister President,

     This week I watched more teeth get kicked out of the A.D.A. -- no love to the folks who decided that someone could be fired from a religious institution for having NARCOLEPSY-- and the continuing drama of you and some other folks messing with the Internet.  No love.

     As if that wasn't bad enough, I saw a newsbite of you saying that religious organizations do not have to provide birth control to their women employees but the insurance companies will have to offer it.  Nothing, absolutely nothing, is "free."  So now there is one more government mandate.  Who will wind up paying for this one?  Not the government of course.

     Actually, I think religious institutions who accept public monies such as Medicaid and ahem, the faith-based office thingy should be required to play by the public rules ahem, the same employment laws that everyone else has to play by.  I also think that the government should get out of the healthcare business as well as the marriage industry.  But putting those things aside for the moment, I will continue onward through the insurance companies issues.

     Alright, so given that nothing is "free,"  just where do you think the money will come from for the latest mandate.  You think the insurance companies will reach out to women who work at religious places out of the "goodness" of their "hearts."  Oh really.  Now that right there is funny.  This latest idea of yours will come out of the pockets of all of the people who are working.  Insurance premiums for everyone will go up.

     So Mister President, once again, thanks for nothing.

                      No Love,
