If elected president, Sen. John McCain, would be the oldest president to take office. In July McCain’s personal doctors announced McCain is in excellent health. However reporters were not provided with copies of McCain’s medical records to protect McCain’s privacy.
Shouldn’t voters know the true health conditions of our potential president? I mean, does anyone really want to vote a person into office who may possibly not physically be able to carry out their presidential duties?
The folks at therealmccain.com have released this video urging John McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all of his medical records, available for the media and members of the general public to review. This isn’t an attack on McCain, it’s a plea to be honest with voters so that we can make a fully educated choice when voting this fall.
takepart and sign the open letter at http://therealmccain.com/ asking that McCains medical records be released.
And please, leave comments below and let us know whether or not you think the medical records of presidential candidates should or shouldn’t be public knowledge.
