The MceZ Core Principle for July is INNOVATION! 

On July 6, 2017, Walter Schaub, Director of the Office of Governmental Ethics, submitted his letter of resignation to President Trump stating that public service employees are required to put public trust and loyalty to the Constitution and ethical principles above private gain. It is reported by npr that during the six months between October 2008 and March 2009, as the Obama presidency was taking shape, it got 733 public contacts, such as calls, letters and emails. During the October 2016 to March 2017 period in the Trump era, it was swamped with 39,105 contacts — an increase of 5,235 percent between October, 2008.

Open Letter

Dear Senator _________, 

Thank you for your response of July 5 to my letter of June 24, 2017. As this is my third sending, this document will be published in Mcezupedia. If you care to respond to my letter at a later date, please do so and it will be added to the published document. As you already know, this is too important to be a partisan bill. A well written healthcare bill requires a minimum of one year of public hearings and debate including discussion of a single-payer national healthcare system, Committee review and multi-partisan input. I look forward to hearing from you and contacting you in the future.

Best Regards,

The MceZ Core Principle for June is FREEDOM!

Media reporting: On Thursday, June 22, the Tax Cut bill for the rich was finally revealed. 850 billion dollars will be cut from Medicaid transferring trillions of dollars from seniors, children, the poor, the disabled, the working class and the middle class to the 400 wealthiest families in the US. ADAPT protesters consisting of 41 Citizens with disabilities, staged a sit-in in front of Senator Mitch McConnell's office to confront power with the truth that quality, affordable Healthcare is not just for the privileged. We live in a democracy that is diverse in every way. Let's follow their lead: Stand for Freedom. Stand for Justice. Stand for Equality. Stand for the right of EVERY citizen to have quality, affordable healthcare. The survival of our country is based on these values. Also reported, Donald Trump has doubled his income to 191 million dollars on the backs of tax paying citizens, business conflicts of interests and Emoluments.

Subject: Thirteen White Male Republican Senators and the Secret Health Care Bill they are afraid to share with the American people.

Dear Senator __________,

Thank you for your service. 

The headlines are screaming about the secret GOP Health Care Bill that 13 White Male Republican Senators have written in private because Republican Senators are afraid of backlash from a diverse population who will have to live with or barely survive the consequences. The attitude appears to be “We the People” being viewed as “You the Enemy” rather than as taxpaying citizens concerned for their and their family's well-being, for whom these senators work and from whom they receive their salaries. The Senators working on the Senate health care bill are: McConnell (Kentucky), Hatch (Utah), Alexander (Tennessee), Enzi (Wyoming), Thune (South Dakota), Cruz (Texas), Lee (Utah), Cotton (Arkansas ), Gardner (Colorado), Barrasso (Wyoming), Cornyn (Texas) and Portman (Ohio). 

This behavior could be considered as arrogant, cowardly, undemocratic and unethical.

My question to you as a Republican Senator is: With what in the above paragraph do you disagree as you contemplate voting “yes” or “no” for this secret health care bill?

I look forward to hearing from you soon. I will contact you again if I have not received a response.
Thank you.
