Duane Tron to Congressman Jordan: Override that veto!

From Duane Tron, July 15, 2008
Subject: President's Veto of Medicare Bill

Dear Jim,

You need to vote to override the President's veto of the Medicare Bill. I am presently paying $11,600.00 a year, out of my $35,900.00/yr pension, for health insurance for Mary and myself through the Ohio State Teacher's Retirement System. These horrific increases were imposed four years after I retired and are unacceptable. For those of us who have worked our entire lives and paid into this system it is outrageous that the President would veto this legislation. Based on my count the House will override the President's veto. You can line up and vote with a Lame Duck President who has secured the same legacy for himself that Bob Taft did as Governor of Ohio, or you can demonstrate that you represent your constituents and vote to override. We are watching and awaiting your vote.
