Dear Mr. Bush,

I have stayed up half the night trying to figure out how we are going to afford health care once we add a baby into our family. That you are inventing a crisis in Social Security benefits instead of focusing on the very real one that affects so many of us every day as we make difficult and expensive choices concerning our health is despicable. I am exhausted to the point of illness and truly sick of worrying about this, but simply wishing for change won't do anything. So instead, I'll stay up for hours more hoping that the next page, the next website, the next brochure will offer something beyond pure fantasy.
