John W. Suthers
Colorado Attorney General
1525 Sherman St.
Denver, Co 80203

Attention John W. Suthers:
As you are certainly well aware, on March 21st, 2010 the United States House of Representatives
passed the Senate Health Care Reform Bill and it now awaits the signature of President Barack
Obama.

It is our contention that this bill is an assault on the United States Constitution and that it is an
infringement upon state sovereignty, specifically the sovereignty of the State of Colorado.

Congress has reached far beyond their constitutional authority attempting to use the cover of the
Commerce Clause to impose their mandates upon the individual citizens and businesses of
Colorado.

We ask that you join the at least 12 other states and file suit the second Barack Obama signs this
unconstitutional legislation.

Hear Us Now stands prepared to support you and your office in this endeavor in any and all ways.

Constitutionally yours,

Keith W. Peterson

Nationalized, mandated health care is on it’s way. I, myself, refuse to take part in a socialized medical program and intend to let my representatives know this. I have so far done so by way of phone calls and email, I will also be sending to them a post card I created which you too can send by downloading it here.

I am not a fool, I do not expect that my phone calls, emails, letters and postcards are going to stop nationalized health care or anything else. It seems clear that our elected officials have no intention of listening to myself or you.

My intention with this particular postcard is not to stop nationalized health care, it is simply to let my elected officials know that I challenge their authority to “reform” health care and to mandate that I take part in their scheme.

The image below is small version of the postcard (the actual postcard has a much better resolution).

I’ve used Kinkos online printing

Kinkos will print no less than two postcards at a time, the cost of two postcards from the ‘saver’ package is $2.73

When you finalize your print order you can leave instructions to add to the backside a normal post card backing. This would add .37 cents per card, to your order.

I do not believe it is necessary to have the traditional postcard backing printed.

Simply placing the stamp, address, return address and short personal message in the traditional locations should suffice.

Please join me in this campaign to let our elected officials know that the American people will not just lay down and accept their abuse of the Constitution and their theft of individual freedom and liberty.

Please also pass this along to your friends.

Hear Us Now has begun a new project which we are calling “I Refuse”. Nationalized Health Care/Socialized Medicine is on the verge of becoming a reality in America. "Opting" out is not an option… you will be fined no less than $3,800 if you haven’t private insurance (private insurance will eventually vanish under the current legislation). I WILL REFUSE to participate in any Nationalized Health Care/Socialized Medicine program.

We are seeking no less than five individuals (perhaps more) who would like to be part of a committee to assist in taking this project to a influential level.

The current needs are research, planning and project direction.

Please email Keith or Brian if you are interested and would like more information about volunteering.
