I had a great time at the General Meeting. Dr McKalip touched on some issues that I hadn't heard him speak on before. It was well organized, stayed on schedule, and very informative. I loved seeing all the new faces and I hope they had a good time.

Many thanks to Dr. McKalip for a very informative talk. I wish we could have allowed him more time. He is a wealth of information. There were so many new faces tonight and we thank each and every one for coming out - as well as the not-so-new faces. It's always great to spend time with my fellow Patriots.
Vicky K Assistant Organizer
I really enjoyed this meeting -- it's great to meet with other America-lovers for some "candor, good will and intelligence". Dr. McKalip is a great speaker, very engaging and informative. Many thanks to him for sharing with us his time and insight!

I felt that the meeting overall was very well conducted and that Dr. McKalip speech was very good. I do have somewhat of a hearing problem and several speakers at the end did not use mic's so I did miss what they had to contribute. E.R.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting last night and thought the good doctor was great. He struck just the right chord of information and humor.

Dr. McKalip was a very good speaker and very informative.
Debbie Levitt
Very appreciative that this fellow (and his family) came tonight to talk to us. It was interesting to hear his perspective of the problems of the healthcare system. Also what more problems will arise with Obamacare. It's sad that this man who has dedicated 17 years (more or less) to learn to become a neurosurgeon will be treating his patients under the supervision of a government worker under Obamacare. Thank you for organizing this meet up. Sincerely, Debbie Levitt

As we schedule our second General Meeting for 2010, we are still facing possible Government takeover of our Health Care System. Every day, every week, every month that passes with this issue still looming over us, we can be VERY thankful! For if it wasn't for us, Patriots across this great country, this pending Legislation would already be law!

We are pleased to announce that Dr. David McKalip has offered to speak to us on the Health Care Issue facing this country and answer some of our questions afterwords!

Dr. McKalip is a private practice brain and spine surgeon in St. Petersburg, Florida. He served as the Chairman of the Council on Medical Economics for the FMA and lead the effort to write a health system reform plan for the FMA that focuses on individual financial empowerment of patients. Dr. McKalip founded Doctors for Patient Freedom and is working to ensure that individual savings, choice and competition create better and more affordable medical care for Americans. Dr. McKalip has written and spoken on the unintended consequences of expanded government and corporate control of health care financing and medical decision making including rationing, cookbook medicine, unsustainable economic models for government and unaffordable or unavailable private insurance products and financing options for patients. Don't miss this opportunity to hear Dr. McKalip speak!

There is still much to do as elections grow ever closer! After Dr. McKalip answers some of your questions, we will address our Pinellas Patriots business. Please feel free to email any of the organizers to suggest any items that you would like to see on the agenda. We will try to accommodate all requests based on time available.
