Stop discrimination against senior citizens

To whom it may concern:

I call for a class action lawsuit against our federal government for discrimination against senior citizens.

Let the federal government that supposedly is against discrimination for all these years practice it now, for a change. Let it be known that each and every representative and senator who votes to discriminate against senior citizens by rationing health care and taking funds from Medicare shall be responsible for compensation for attorneys’ fees from their own money. This does not mean the government will pay. This also includes the president who signs this bill.

It is not American to discriminate against senior citizens and ration health care to give care to 12 million plus illegal aliens.

Let it be known that if this happens in any way, the representatives, senators and the president shall be responsible to all who are harmed. They shall compensate the person and family from their own funds.

Be America, be fair, be honest.
