(Note: I have realized that I've failed in my responsibility as a citizen to write to my elected officials, namely, to the President of the USA, to express my will. The following is my attempt to address that oversight; my first letter to the President. I've requested a response, and will post any may I receive.)

Dear President Obama,

I've been studying the healthcare debate with great interest. While I view a dialogue as vigorous as this has been as a sign of health for our great republic, obviously there has been frustration on both sides.
In pondering the issues I've studied in this debate, I've arrived at a solution to the partisan conflict that's so simple, I'm surprised that I've not heard anyone else bring it up. Sometimes the simple solutions are overlooked because of their simplicity.

However, it should take only one small action on your part to quiet the opposition you've been recieving from conservatives and moderates on healthcare reform:

Simply indicate the article and section of the United States Constitution or Bill of Rights in which the Federal Government has been authorized to carry out the reform you've proposed.

The strategy behind this should be clear: Since those opposing this reform claim to do so out of love for their country and not for partisan interests, your citing of an existing provision in the Constitution for matters of healthcare will place an obligation of support on your opposition.

I must apologize however, Mr. President, for not being able to provide for you that specific article or section of the Constitution... I did search diligently through it several times and have not found it, as of yet.

I have hope and confidence though that you, in sacred respect for the honor and awesome responsibility of your office, and for your solemn oath wherein you have sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, that you would not have undertaken healthcare reform unless you had already found clear authority in the Constitution to do so.
I am also confident that your prior experience as professor of constitutional law will serve you well in identifying and explaining that authority for those who have been challenging your reform agenda.

I hope that you, as a fellow servant of our great nation, will find this suggestion helpful.

God Bless America.

Sincerily,

Kevin Burke

P.S. In the event, however unlikely, that you have not or do not find in the Constitution, that clear Federal authority to follow through on the healthcare reform agenda, you can count on my unwavering support, Mr. President, in joining with you to faithfully execute your solemn Presidential duty to unequivocally denounce and oppose it, by any and all legal means necessary
