Dear Mr. Potter,

Thank you for taking a courageous, principled and public stand against such powerful interests.

America is my adopted country, and I am "an American by Choice". While my early years were all about career success,my current passion is to make this a better country for my kids and future generations. From this perspective, I cannot be partisan on any issue, but must rely on my own judgement on what's good for our country and future generations.... I try to be fiercely independent.

On the subject of Healthcare, I see a meaningful Public Health Plan as ABSOLUTELY VITAL, for stability and predictability in our personal lives. I pray that such a plan option will be available to me. I travel frequently to Canada, and work closely with many Canadian citizens. I am always impressed by the fact that no Canadian is constrained from leaving a job and starting his or her own business by concerns about retaining Health Insurance. While their system is not perfect, it is far superior to ours, in terms of "Maximum Good for Maximum Folks".

I am deeply troubled by mixed signals coming from the Senate, especially from Democratic senators such as Joe Lieberman on this issue. I hope that the outcome will be Statesmanlike, and not proof that the good senators are completely beholden to special interests.

Again, thank you for your stand.... you are anything but alone!!!

Sincerely,
Rao from NC
