On 10 August 2009, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer published an op-ed piece in USA Today under the title 'Un-American' attacks can't derail health care debate, in which they criticized those who had been engaging in efforts to disrupt debate over health insurance reform legislation (which later became widely known as Obamacare). Reps. Pelosi and Hoyer wrote (in part): That op-ed prompted Dennis L. Guthrie, an attorney with the Charlotte, North Carolina, law firm of Guthrie, Davis, Henderson & Staton, to pen a (primarily ad hominem) critical letter to Rep. Pelosi the following day, images of which soon began circulating online. We contacted Mr. Guthrie at the address included in the letterhead on which the letter was printed, and he confirmed that he did indeed write and send such a letter to Rep. Pelosi. The letter circulated again in 2019 via social media, with one minor revision: The line I am a soon to be 65 year-old was changed to I am a soon to be a [sic] 75 year-old.
