Not everyone said ‘no’

Sun., April 4, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

It was very disturbing to read Becky McPherson’s letter (March 27) comparing the passage of the health bill to the rape of a woman, with Obama being the perpetrator.

Not everyone said “no” to the bill, including those who were outside Attorney General Rob McKenna’s office last Friday. Just as much as Becky might not want Obama to speak for her, I and many others don’t want her or McKenna to speak for us.
