Small Victory

It has been a most interesting week. One that the House of Representatives, hopes to end by passing its version of the Health Care Bill. Never mind that there were 20+ thousand people on their front steps, protesting the passage of this impending bill. A majority of the House of Representatives still have the audacity to believe (or at least say that) they are passing this bill “for the millions of uninsured Americans”. Unfortunately we know this will not be the case. Actually, most studies I’ve seen and heard say the exact opposite. These studies show that very few of the uninsured Americans now, would be covered.


It looks like it may take a bit longer for a bill to get through the Senate though. Senate leaders have said they doubt they could get a bill voted on by year’s end; which means it will spill over into the New Year. Folks, this is a positive development for us. 2010 is guess what? An election year for many in both the House and Senate. Mike and I have said numerous times, that the one thing politicians fear is not getting reelected. An election is what gives we, the people our power back. Look at what happened this past Tuesday. When the States of Virginia and New Jersey, booted their incumbent Governors to the curb. My feeling on it is that the people have fired a warning shot across the politicians bow. I hope this warning shot gives all politicians a moment to pause. We must remind our elected officials that they work for us. To remind them that they are not accountable to the lobbyists, but to their constituents. Don’t think that all of the tea parties and protests have fallen on deaf ears, as some would have you believe. Any politician, especially one up for reelection in 2010, will now have a choice to make. Either listen to the people and don’t vote for this bill, or walk the plank. The longer the Health Care Bill being debated in the Senate goes into 2010, I think the better chance to defeat it. With our overwhelming voice, constantly telling our officials to stop the spending and kill this bill, we the people will have achieved a small victory.


Did you notice I said small victory? Do not entertain the thought that it is all over. We still must remain vigilant because more crap will be on the way. Cap and Trade is not dead and gone, illegal immigration is simmering and about to blow. Spending is still out of control and Health Care reform will still be around for the foreseeable future. We have much work yet to be done. With 2010 being an election year, we must strike while the iron’s hot. I think term limit’s are in order, across the board. One or two terms max, then you’re ineligible to hold the same public office again. What do you think? Join us at thepeopleofliberty.com.
