Dear Representative Doggett

I just sent this letter to my U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, who the Statesman reports this morning is one of the last Democratic holdouts in the house on whether he will vote yes or no on health care reform in today's vote.

Dear Rep. Doggett:

Thank you for your service. I am writing to ask you to please vote yes today on health care reform.

One in four Texans don't have health insurance. Health care is one of those things that we all band together as a community to purchase for one another. It's not optional. It's not something we can "shop" for on the open market anymore than we can shop for the best fire department to protect our family. It's a necessity.

I don't care if my taxes go up if it means my fellow Texans have access to health care. Please vote yes today.

Thank you,

Jon
