In reply to the discussion: WHAT THE LIVING FUCK IS GOING ON?!? Asking for a friend. [View all]usaf-vet
(6,181 posts)37. I would like to think this request I wrote and faxed to John McCain's office
would be met by the Maverick. He has and opportunity to retire as a hero or a bum.
Senator McCain I'm sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis. And wish you well. I would ask you at this time in your life when the need for medical care is obvious. I would ask that you consider your fellow Americans need for health care and that you consider this vote the last mission of your long career. Please vote to fix the ACA by not voting to repeal and replace. Let one of your last acts as a Senator be a heroic act. Vote NO on the Senate bill AND speak out loud and clear be the Maverick again. Tell McConnell NO it is done no more Repeal and Replace. Move on. Work to fix the ACA. What possible punishment could anyone threaten you with. Retire with honor give your fellow Americans a going away gift of health care. Go home be with family and fight the cancer. As a fellow veteran I ask you to vote for the greater good. Save healthcare.
