In 1776, Americans conceived a government of the people by the people where the power is from the bottom up. Up to this time, the power in all nations was from top down where a few ruled and the rest had to go along. The people were totally dependent on the rulers and had no say. Not all people were given equal opportunity at first. It took a revolution, a civil war, and much struggle but by the beginning of the twentieth century, all Americans had equal rights and responsibility for their government, regardless of economic status, religion, origin, or gender.
For several decades, a movement by few has been slowly chipping away at the rights of the individual and placing more power in the federal government. Now, we have reached a point where this transfer of individual liberty to central government control has reached an unprecedented point in our history. The people who are robbing us of our freedom and caused chaos in our economy have taken control of two thirds of our automobile industry, are in almost complete control of the financial corporations, and now trying to take control of our healthcare industry. From who will get what care, to where medical providers can practice, to who can enter the medical profession is in danger of being in the hands of a few. The current health care “reform” bill will eventually run once privately own insurance companies, that is those that will not be driven out of business. This bill is not about healthcare. It is about controlling more of our lives.
The many Tea Party rallies have shown that the people do not want the government to control our lives. The legislators in Washington, the administration, and the many overseers (Czars) appointed by Obama, do not care what the people want.
They are determined to turn our country into a Soviet Style Socialist state. As it becomes more apparent that Americans don’t want this bill, those in power are turning up the pressure to get it passed. They will disguise provisions of the bill, lie any lie, threaten legislators, make any promise to get this monstrosity passed. They are that hungry for complete power over the lives of Americans.
The bill is so large and the wording so convoluted to fully to disguise the bill’s affect, that it is almost impossible to digest it. They say it will cover more people at lower costs with more services, impossible and they know it. Legislators are promised hundreds of millions of dollars for their state. Every dollar will have a hook, a provision that in the end will cost the states money and lose sovereignty. They are using terror tactics to bully our representatives into submission with threats of closing military sites and denying other aid. Behind the carrot, there is a big stick.
The people have let the government know what we want and don’t want. The government is ignoring us. We have to put the same effort we put into demonstrating our point, into making a change in Washington. If we do not stop this absurd move towards a Soviet Style Socialist state now, the nation will suffer greatly. I implore you all to vet new candidates, pick the right ones, and work to elect them with the same dedication as our founders had when they formed this grate nation. If we don’t take responsibility for our future, people who are trashing our Constitution will control our future.
