My Statement On The Passage Of The Health Care Bill

Posted by Dana Walsh - Mon, March 22, 2010 at 04:54 PM

Any hope of limited government has died if this Health Care Reform bill is not repealed. Forget that the public has seen the legislative process at its ugliest. Forget that we’ve seen the lengths to which the details of this bill have been misrepresented, forget the spin, forget the deceptions..

Congress has been distracting us with the details – which change on a daily, if not hourly, basis. Americans demanded transparency and instead got a sideshow. No one understands what is in this bill or what it will cost or, most disturbing, what effect it will have on our health care, our economy or our freedoms. 

The real issue is that Congress has no Constitutional authority to control health care of its constituents. And they are now poised to seize power over our energy use (with Cap and Trade), our freedom to listen to the voices we want to hear (with the Fairness Doctrine) and the political system itself as it allows the White House to control the Census (which has never been done before in the history of the country.)

The Congress has no authority to expand its power by denying Americans the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. This must stop. The first step in taking back the country is to challenge the legitimacy of this bill. Let us start today.
