AFP: A guide to Harry Mitchell's slanted online health care reform survey

Dear CD5 Taxpayers & Tea Partiers:

Congressman Harry Mitchell has not made any public appearances during the recess, and a lot of our activists reported having difficulties getting through to his tele-town hall on August 26th. But for what it’s worth, he does have an online survey for members of CD5:

Of course, as with all political surveys, the survey is designed either to A) get the user to agree with the politician's proposed courses of action, or B) convince the user that he or she doesn't know enough about the subject to oppose the politician's proposed courses of action.

Conspicuously absent from Mitchell's survey are any free-market reform options. The implication is that either A) you love the current system and oppose all reform, or B) you have to choose one of the big-government policies offered by Obama, Pelosi, and their allies.

In response, AFP Arizona has put together a free-market guide to Harry Mitchell's health care reform survey:
