Well, it looks like the 535 kings on Capitol Hill will try to ram health care reform down our throats soon, especially after Obama’s speech tonight.  They will capitalize on his charisma and lie to the public; the rhetoric will be over the top the next few days.  There will be a full-court by the statist media and unless we, the average citizen, push back with equal force, our liberties will be in great peril.

What liberties are at risk?

1. The natural RIGHT you have to choose who, when and where you decide to obtain health insurance.  Max Bacus is purported to have a $3,800 fine for not obtaining health insurance.  Can you believe it, the federal government fining you for not having health insurance.  So, chalk up one liberty lost…choose our way or you’re going to pay.  Where’s that in Article 1 Section 8???
2. Don’t think for a moment that this will not lead to a single payer system; this is their overall goal.  If they can control health care, they can control you.  You will soon lose your right to choose a doctor, choose the treatment you want, or choose a lifestyle of your choosing.  You will be mocked and ridiculed by the federal government for stopping at McDonald’s, not exercising, or for the beer you might want to have.  You will loose your ability to choose.
3. You will loose your right to your property, in this case, the money you earn.  You will be required to participate in a government approved program and you will be required to pay for it whether or not you want to (see Social Security and Medicare) or not.  You will not have a choice, the federal government will take it from you.
4. You will lose your ability to decide your future, the federal government will promulgate rules for you to live by and you won’t be able to change it.  YOU LOSE - THEY WIN.

Understand readers, we’re in a fight and it’s liberty verse the soft tyranny of an out-of-control government.  They want to restrict the liberties granted to us not by the rulers in Washington DC, but by our Creator.  They’ve declared war on the liberties that were fought for by patriots beginning in 1776…will we dishonor their sacrifice by sitting on our hands?  Will we call Washington DC what is really is, a reservoir of little kings that are usurping our rights just as King George did?

Folks, a 21st Century O.K. Corral is coming; the 1st step is the March on DC 9/12/09…you MUST be there!  You must keep up the pressure in your local communities.  Join groups, attend tea parties, organize take back America rallies…CONNECT CONNECT CONNECT!!  This is a critical juncture in out nations history, lines are being drawn, sides are being formed. 

Liberty is in peril, will you come to it’s aid?

Health Care, Must Read, Real Change, Restore America

We’re all struggling to articulate what it is we’re fighting against.  Sure, right now it’s healthcare, tomorrow it will be Cap & Trade and on and on and on we’ll go.  But is that really what we’re fighting against?

I contend what we’re really fighting against isn’t specific policies, rather it’s the soft tyranny of an out-of-control federal government.  Congress refuses to restrain itself.  The Presidency sees no limits to it’s power to execute the law on us, the citizens. The Supreme Court will not force the other two branches to comply with the Constitution; instead, they provide the precedent necessary to expand their reach.

Well, the ultimate check and balance granted to us by the 10th Amendment and the Declaration of Independence is to force the federal government back into the box created by the Founders.  We do this through the ballot box now, but eventually, a Constitutional Convention may be necessary as I fear the government no longer fears nor respects the populace…thus, we must compel them to.

So, as you gather at your local Tea parties or assemble under the 1st Amendment in Washington DC this Saturday, make connections.  Identify others you may be able to keep in touch with.  Join local groups that share your values. Organize, organize, organize.  If we’re going to have any chance at success, it will be because we’re organized.
