Tomorrow's Kill the Bill Rally!

As a reminder for anyone reading this, tomorrow is the Kill the Bill Rally at the Capitol (in St. Paul) from noon to 1! Before this bill is forced through congress, let's all try to remind our representatives that they were chosen to represent their voters, not to succumb to the bribery and Chicago-thug politics that have characterized this new term.

Because the majority of Americans are against this bill, our new cheif rulers in government have decided that we the people lack their moral enlightenment and need not be listened to. This bill is not about improving the health care system, and whether by taxes, rate increases, a sharp decline in the quality of our medical care, or a combination of these, we will pay dearly for a decision we have no say over. Whether or not you agree with the current President's ideals, America operates as a democratic system. This means that the women and men we elect are consenting to represent us-our opinions, needs, beliefs- and not rule against our will for the good of personal ideology. Health care "reform" is not in the best interests of those in America who believe in accountability, and those who work for and earn what they recieve. And, Mr. Obama, if I wanted someone else deciding what's best for our country and gathering to themselves the full power to do so, regardless of the will of the constituents, I would have chosen a conveniently located regime, perhaps in a place with warmer weather, and served my suffering there.

This is about more than just health care reform everyone It's about preserving our right to decide what to do with our money, our country, and our future. The Obama regime is powerful enough. Do we really want to give them an even larger role? More things to spend too much money on, more ways to put our and the following generations in debt, more excuses to increase their control over our lifestyle choices and yet another opportunity to take money from our paychecks to bail out their consistently failing programs? I don't know about the rest of you but I am not ok with sacrificing the high quality health care in our country, bred by free market competition and affordable to anyone willing to prioritize health insurance, in order to gain yet another dead weight for the American public to carry. Besides, it isn't a free market system that's failing here. What's failing is a free market system infected with and burdened by politicized measures created by people whose main motivation is to look good to a very specific group of people at the expense of everyone else to keep that group dependant on their party and thereby guarantee votes. If we were truly trying to improve our health care system, we'd start by working depoliticize the system. Scale down on frivolous lawsuits, excessive benefits and free rides to people perfectly capable of working, and short-sighted government regulations that add to the issues they claim to solve.

Anyways, sorry for how rough and unorganized this rant was, but this issue is really upsetting. I just can't believe that the bill has gotten this far. I will write up my perspective on the health care bill and the recent disregard for America's people and constitution in a more organized and clear way once I've slept off my midterms. Hope everyone can make it to the rally tomorrow!
