Are we still living in the USA?

The passage of the "Healthcare Reform" bill on Sunday is the biggest travesty and abuse of power that this country has ever seen. It is wrong on so many levels, and involves so many people, that EVERY CITIZEN of America should be up in arms.

First and foremost, the government now has (?) the authority to force the people of this nation to buy something (health insurance) from the government. What?!?! Ladies and gents, this is in direct violation of the Constitution of our country, the same Constitution that Obama is an expert on, and taught on. The government of this country does not have that authority and is clearly abusing what power they think they have.

Next is Mr. Obama's campaign promise that any bill that comes to his desk will sit there for five days and will be available on line for all citizens to view and read, before he will sign it into law or veto it. The president waited exactly 36 hours to sign this one. So much for integrity.

Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure that this country, its people, resoundingly voiced a big fat NO to this bill for many reasons (chief of which is taxpayer funded abortions). Yet the very representatives who are supposed to be speaking for their constituents VOTED FOR THE BILL! Again, this is an abuse of the power given to these men and women. If they don't legislate according to what their voters want, then why do we allow them to continue to sit in these offices?

If you live in WV like I do then you need to know that Rahall and Molohan both voted FOR this bill, despite the overwhelming number of residents of WV who were against it.

I am proud to say that Capito voted against the bill, along with every other Republican in the House.

The time has come, no, is overdue, to vote these people out of office. If they don't speak for us, why should they be speaking at all.

Sorry for the rant.

Fact or Fiction?

So far there are as many myths, or at least semi-truths, about the president's Health Care Reform circulating as there are facts. You can go to numerous websites, listen to conservative (which I happen to be) commentaries, or even the news media and read or hear dozens of them:

Euthanasia committees, no option to keep your private health care plan, how it will be paid for, rationing of care, government access to private account records of those participating in the plan, and on and on.

What's really troubling about all the hype is that so far there hasn't been any single autoritative source to either quiet the rumors or confirm them, AND back it up with the actual reference in the bill. And to read the nearly 1,000 page document would require nothing less than a law degree to really understand the legalese in which it is written.

If the president is convinced that this health care reform is needed, then he should stand before this country and with the document in hand, prove or disprove each and every concern, citing the page and paragraph to back his claims, so that we may then read it and understand it for ourselves.

I'm not even sure he's read the bill he's trying so hard to push.

Until and unless that happens, there is NO WAY that anyone should support the reform.

Would you sign a contract that you didn't understand? If so, go ahead and support the bill. As for me, I kinda like knowing what I'm getting into.
