The Voice of America

In town halls and in other forums the American people are voicing their opposition to the current health care proposals. Rahm Emanuel, the White House Chief of Staff, says that this is just noise - that it doesn't matter. He is saying that the opinions of Americans are not important. This is foolish in the extreme. Congress and the President serve at our pleasure. They are responsible to us, the American people. We do not want a government take over of our health care system.

The federal government has become more and more intrusive. It is far exceeding the authorities granted to it in the Constitution. You might consider reading or rereading this document. It is beautiful in its clarity and simplicity. You might also consider reading the health care bills. They are not clear and concise. They are deliberately written obtusely. This is done to discourage reading them.

We all want health care reform, but not this reform. We want the cost of health care lowered by enacting tort reform and addressing the rampant fraud in the system. Pre-existing conditions should not exclude anyone from health care insurance. We want health care to be made available to those who want it - within the private sector.

We ask you to listen to the voice of the American people. Some politicians, in their grandiosity, say if people just understood the bills they would support them. The American people are more intelligent than these politicians think. We do not want the government to control our health care. We are watching and we will remember and vote accordingly.

Card Check

I want to congratulate Congress for dropping card check from the Employee Free Choice Act. Congress has stood up for the American worker and upheld their right to a secret ballot. The secret ballot is the keystone of democracy. Congress did the right thing.
