Healthcare and more-Time to act.

The House of Representatives under the unique leadership of Nancy Pelosi passed their version of the healthcare bill that will screw most Americans. For seniors it will mean $400 to $500 billion cuts in Medicare that I guess you could say is Pelosi’s version of death panels. Higher taxes for not only those making more than $250,000 but for those making much less in higher premiums, taxes and just plain being screwed. But remember this is not just about healthcare but more importantly getting the government to get more control over our lives. Some may call it the beginning of Socialism, Fascism, Communism or becoming Marxist. I believe this is a combination of all in an attempt for this administration and those surrounding the President to bring more control over our lives to provide a better opportunity to continue this policy through continuous election of the same mentality or even gain control of the vote as we have seen with voter fraud in 2008 and in 2009. The Chicago mob mentality is alive and well in Washington D.C. and unless we get off our butts and let our voices be heard with our representatives through E-mails, letters, phone calls, attending town halls or tea party demonstrations wherever they may be held then we can expect a continuation of this Orwellan policy. Bankrupting this country seems to be the road we are traveling if this additional financial burden becomes law. The time has come when action by the individuals must be taken. We cannot say, I support the cause of dissent but I am not one to attend meetings, demonstrations and prefer to acknowledge the other person for voicing their objection and not do anything yourself. Speak up or you will regret it in the future and that future is less than 4 years away. I believe the following quotes from Thomas Jefferson apply today to what we see taking place in our Executive and Legislative branches of government.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
